Mrs Phillips condition Wednesday was considered as | more favorable, although her condition still remained critical
 Over-Eealous officials apparently have made themselves rediculous in the town of Woodstock by holding up hearse own- | ed by Alexander Gilmon and Company of this city while it was traversing the high way near the home of Deputy Sheriff Leonard H. Healey, secretary of the state board of agriculture, and searching 1t for 1 Nn good reason that the hearse has never been employed in the transportation of H. 1 quor or any other illegal enterprise
 While the fact may not be known to the l public at large, it is the custom of un- l dertakers all through this territory to hire motor hearses of each other when circum- stances make 1t necessary. Recently mo- 1 tor hearses owned by Southbridge under l takers have been out of commission more or less and they have been hiring the Gil. man motor hearse from this city for ust at funerals In making the trip betweer l this city and Southbridge the hearse tray. | els through the town of Woodstock.
 Its frequent trips during the past few weeks must have suggested to the mind. of some along the state road route through Woodstock that it was engaged l in booze-carrying enterprise and, after 1s trips-count 'em had been made there seemed to sink into the minds O some people up that way the fixed opinior that nothing other than booze carryinf could so regularly require the passae, of a hearse through a town of sucl sturdy people that few ever die-at leas until they are very old.
 Followed the plan to "get'' the hears, the next time it came through and searcl it thoroughly In due time the hears came, was sunmarily halted, the driver Frank, Vadnais, being amazed at tn, holdup. Of course no booze was fount because there was none to find, but it al shows what may come to those who req, the papers with their tales of hearse booz carriers and the possibility of the tricl being tried in this territory
 It would seem that the standing 0 Putnam's undertakers is sufficiently un asasilable to protect them from such in dignity in either their home city O I neighbor1ng territory, but this has no I proved to be the case If the entire pro ceeolngs were not 50 ludicrous it migh without any strain at all be regarded a an incident worthy of severe condemna tlon As 1t is, the popular view of tn incident is that it simply illustrates t what lengths some will go to enforce ; law that has caused such dissension an, discussion in American life of today.
