Object to New Schedule.
A petition is being circulated along the
railroad between Wells River and White
River Junction asking the public service
commission to order the north bound
Air Line" train to stop at Wells River.
Under the old arrangement the mail
train from Springfield transferred all
passengers going north of Wells River
and the same arrangement was in force
for mail and express. The railroad
people claim they had to make the new
arrangement as the transfer occasioned
too much delay in the running time of
the train and gave more passengers
than it could conveniently carry.
An Unusual Injunction.
An Injunction of rather unusual
character was issued at Rutlandla last week
by Judge led S. Stanton. The stock of the
Hogan Bros. store was scheduled to be
sold at auction to satisfy a mortgage
held by the Clere Clothing company of
Syracuse. N. Y. 1t is claimed by the
Herald & Globe association that Hogan
Bros. owe them for rent and on their
prayer Judge Stanton enjoined Deputy
Sheriff D. A. Barker from selling the
stock. The orator alleges that the Clere
company is a New York corporation;
that they have not filed necessary papers
to do business in this state; that the
foreclosure of the Hogan mortgage is an
act of business and in violation of the
laws of Vermont.
