... Attorneys are asking the court to declare Daviess County as the owners of the statue and for a lifting of the restraining order preventing it from being moved from courthouse grounds. No ruling on the motion was made during February 7’s hearing.

The Daviess County Fiscal Court wanted to move the statue about two years ago, but a judge granted a temporary restraining order against it until rightful ownership could be determined.
