‘MISSING EAGLE MYSTERY SOLVED Ornament Given by City to Legion Located in S!nreyam After days and days of' unceasing effort on the part of American Leglon officials, led by George Unwin, and on the part of the "Herald," to clear up the “mystery of the missing eagle,” the eagle in question, which happens to be the wooden ornament that was a part of the welcome sign on central park, was located this aft- ernoon, but much the worse for ex- posure to the elements and lack of proper care, The eagle was removed from the park when the welcome home sign was torn down about two years ago, At the request of the American Le- glon, the common councll voted to give the emblem to Eddy-Glover post. The board of public works carted the big ornament, which was valued at about $500 to the Legion rooms, then in Sovereign's block, but for lack of sufficlent room it was taken . away again, Members of the leglon say they understood that it was to be stored in City hall until such time ‘as they were ready to take it to their rooms, Several days ago. it was declded that the post should claim the eagle and Unwin began-to look for it. May- or Paonessa was unable to give any {nformation as to {ts whereabouts and Supt, Willlam Smith of City hall told those who inquired that it had ‘never come into the bullding. City Engin- cer J. D. Willlams recalled that after the Legion found it impossible to house the ornament in its club rooms, it was taken to the Harvard street storeyards, and he ventured an opin- fon that it is still there. Inquiries today established that the cagle was placed in the yards, ex- posed to the elements and without covering; that recently a car of coal was unloaded up against the emblem and other materials have hemmed it 1n so that its removal at present would be difficult. Those who examined the eagle doubt very much if its re- moval in its present condition would be worth while. ANASTASIA I3 HOME.
