LOCAL NOTES

The soldiers monument is in more
trouble. On Monday, at the instance
of j. S. Eaton, an injunction was
issued against the mutilation and
removal of the present monument on
the school grounds. The document
urges that said Eaton in common
with the other voters of Woodstock
has property interest in said monu-
ment which, it is alleged, is owned
by the town. On this ground the
applicant prays that the persons
named be restrained from destroy
ing the monument as it now stands.
Copies of the injunction were served
Monday night upon o. H. Macken-
zie, Geo. w. Perry and G. W. Say
ward as members Of the new com
mittee, upon Thos. j. Adams, who
contracted to move portions of the
monument to TribOu Park and fur.
nish the substitute parts, and upon
Matt. Haley of Barre who arrived
Monday to superintend the changes.
The persons against whom the in
junction was issued have male APP
plication for its dismissal aud hope
to secure an early hearing. The
new memorial, including a statue of
of soldier, is now on the ground

ion is made by citizen, for the
settlement of the dispute and the
preservation of the present memorial,
that the Randall Post committee

of necessary material, put up the
soldier in Trlhou park and leave the
monument on the school grounds I'M
