of many veterans of Randall
Post, and at meeting last
Saturday the old monument com
mittee, which had the purchase and
location of the memorial in hand,
was discharged and new committee
elected as follows: G.. w. Perry,
chairman; 0. H. Mackenzie, o. E.
Wright, Henry Houghton and Nor
man Baker. The new committee
will have a meeting today to talk
over matters, but it is not yet in
control of the monument, as the for
mer committee has purchased
a curbing for the present site
and until this is paid for and
all matters pertaining to the
present location settled nothing can
be done. The memorial will UNI
doubleday be set up in Tribou park,
however, some time the coming sum
mer, and Mr.. F. S. Mackenzie, it is
understood, has assured the commit
tee that he will have it properly cared
for after its erection. The new COM
mittee intends to add stone to the
base of the monument, raising it
about one foot, and also has in mind
for the future, if funds can be raised,
to replace the bronze eagle with the
figure of soldier.
A young woman who was in Mrs
W. L. Woods millinery store Tues
day examining dresses shown by
Mr.. Leach of st. Johnsbury was seen
to hide handsome gown beneath
her own skirts. She apparently then
became suspicious that her act was
known and she made an excuse to
go down to Jones store, returning
in a few minutes to resume her crit
ical inspection of the display In
] the meantime Mrs. Wood went to
the store, where the missing dress
was found in waste paper basket.
Mr.. Leach then gently accused the
young woman of the theft. She
denied it at first, but on being given
the choice of paying for the gown OF
going to jail she paid up and was
allowed to go. She was a stranger
to Mrs. Wood.
