Tha remains were followed by a large
concourse of mourning friends to Ross’
cemetery in Half-moon, on Wednesday,
where they were laid to rest. Rev. G.
P. Sarvis officiated at the services.
Deceased was a very highly respected
man and his death has caused profound
sorrow in the community in which he
lived. Ali his life he had been closely
indentified with the workers in the
Democratic party and in his death there
is a loss that will be felt in that end of
! the county.

MURDER OF A CONSTABLE AT

. Ss
William R. Ettinger a once Respected
Man Turned Out-law—Now a Mur-
derer and a Prisoner in His Own
. House.—A Sheriff’s Posse Unable to
' Take Him. :
The awful tragedies of frontier life
had a counterpart right here in civilized
Centre county yesterday afternoon. A
demon whose desperation led him to
crimes almost as fiendish as those of the
notorious Holmes shot down a constable
and attempted to kill all who tried to
bring him to justice. As yet he is apris-
oner in his own houseand no plan has
been’ matured for his capture.
Fortified with dynamite bombs, Win-
chesters, and shot guns he hurled defi-
ance at the officers of the law all night
and the lurid flash ot a gun or the flick-
ering light of a burning dynamite fuse
in the hands of his out-law wife ever
and again warned those of the guard
that had concealed itself about the
house to prevent his escape to the
mountains, that if he was to be taken
blood must be shed in doing it.
Yesterday afternoon district attor-
ney Singer received a telegraphic
request from Coburn to ‘‘send officers, at
once, aRiopesly armed to capture Wil-
liam Ettinger.” 2
Ettinger is a long, lanky fellow who
has lived a life of outlawry at Wood-
ward, six miles east of Coburn, where
he has a home for his wife while
be spends his time between
it and a cave in the seclu-
sion of the mountains near by. “For
years he has terrorized the whole com-
munity and some {ime ago made an as-
sault on his father-in-law, Ben-
jamin Benner, nearly scalping him
with a billet of wood. For this
offense the officers succeeded in ar-
resting him, in an unguarded moment,
but the bandit secured bail for his ap-
pearance at court and was released,
after Isaac Orndorf and Daniel Engle
had given security for him in “the sum of
$250 he jumped the bond and ever since
then plans have been Jaid for his cap-
ture. :
Yesterday afternoon he was seen to
slip down out of tha mountain and en-
ter his house. Constable John Barner,
with two deputies started to effect his
Presbyterian church, on Tuesday after- :
noon.

capture and that marked the opening of
a tragedy such as has never been heard
of in the annals of Centre couaty’s
criminal records,
AN AUTHENTIC STORY OF THE MURDER.
At 1:30 this morning the Warcu-
MaN received the following authentic
story of the tragedy. A warrant hav-
ing been placed in the bands of cor-
stable Barner for the arrest of Ettinger
for skipping his bail in the assault
ana battery charge that official, only
elected at the last election, duputized C.
G. Motz and John Hosterman to assist
bim in the arrest of the desperado.
The thee men went to hie house about
2 o'clock in the afternoon and found
busband and wife, with a 3 year old
daughter and a 2 year old son barri-
caded in the second story of their two
story frame house, which ie located
along the pike in the extreme east end
; of the village and on the only street it
boasts.
The officers entered and find-
ing the fugitive up stairs tried to get to
him. Barner brckein a panel of the
door and started to crawl through. He
had gotten his body halt through the
aperture when
A RHOT FROM ETTINGER'S GUN STRUCK
HIM IN THE TEAD.
The man fell limp in the openiag
and his deputies, deeming it 100 peri-
lous to attempt to capture his murder-
er, fled from the house.
Tho awful news wes quickly spread
throughout the village and the populace
rose in arms to surround the house in
order to prevent his escape. Shortly af-
ter the first shooting Frank Guisewhite,
a blacksmith who was sick in his house
across the street, went to the window of
his room and saw Ettinger aiming his
gun at him. Before he could compre-
bend what he was doing the fiend fired,
two buck-shots taking effect in the sick
man. One in his head, the other in his
shoulder. Neither wound is serious,
however.
A PERFECT FUSILLADE.
From that time on a constant firing
wag kept up between the house and the
guard out side. When Daniel Engle
and Isaac Orndorf, the men whom he
bad stuck for his $250 bond, came into
| town from a business trip to a distance,
they did not know what the excitement
meant until they were abruptiy
halted by Ettinger, who called to Orn-
dorf and asked him if ha
wanted to be shot. He open-
ed fire forthwith, but neither
man was burt.® A little later bo fired
into Mrs Miller's residence, the wid.
owed mother of Robert Wolf tue village

the old lady escaped injury. But there

village, who was standing guard at the
stable wasshot in the neck. His wound
was merely a flash cut und will not
prove dangerous.
A SHE DEVIL.
The wife of the fiend seemsto be as
desperate as her outlaw busband and is
quite as ready with the Winchesters,
shot guns, dynamite and revolvers that
they have a store of. At 6 o'clock she
appeared at the window 1n the act of
lighting a dynamite fuse, supposedly to
throw it with hellish intent among tha
surrounding crowd, but no sconer had
the flash of her torch been seen than a
dozen shots rang cut in the clear night
air and throwing up ber arms she fell

bundred shotshad already been fired
and the large supply of ammunition in
the store of Robert Wolt was well nigh
exhausted. During the afternoon Et-

other effect than the breaking of a num-
her of windows,

THE SHERIFFS POSSE ARRIVES
The sheriff and his posse arrived at
Coburn at 7:15; baving left here at 6
o'clock on a special train, and though
considerable time was consumed in pro-
curing conveyances to carry the party
over the seven miles of rough lumber
road along Pine’creek they reached the
town a little after 8 o'clock. Already
there were rearly a thousand - people
gathered about the place but the omi-
nous shots from Ettinger’s house warn-
ed all to keep at a respectful distance.
IN A DILEMMA.
After the officers had arrived they
did not know exactly what to do. To
enter the house meant certain death. To
burn it meant a probable ghastly end-
ing to what had already been a horri-
ble tragedy. 7Toset fire tothe place
meant the buraing of the dead con-
etable and the probable ‘sacrifice of :
two innocent children with their de-
mous of parents. Out of such a pre
dicament it was hard to see what
would come, yet if the posse should
wait until morning the bandit would |
probably pick off whomever he pleased. |
The sheriff and bis fellow officers
then went into consultation as to what
was the best plan to pursue and they’
were yet discussing the matter when
the WATCHMAN representative left the
dreadful scene.
AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED. |
Even though the firing had been des-
ultory on the part of the officers they
ran out of ammuuition by 3 o'clock
in the morning and Robt. Hunter, Al.
Garman aud Alf Baum came back on
the special that could not wait any
longer for them. They arrived here
at 4 o'clock and after restocking their
bags started back by carriage with car-
tridges and one more Winchester.
Nothing further had been heard up
to 8 o'clock this morning.
The constable is a married man, hav:
ing a wife with several children, while
Guisewhite is a biacksmith by trade
and a very powerful man.
Ettinger bas heen an outlaw for
years, his occupation having been that
of » sawyer at one time. He is a son
of Solomon Ettinger a once highly re-
spected resident of the valley who com -
mitted suicide at Potter’s Bank in the
fall of 1885. He has been carrying a
rifle with him for years and is known
as the most desperate character in the
county.
Ettinger was in jail bere in tho
gpring of ‘86, when his father died from
the effacts of tha bullet shot at his own
; hands a few mnths before. On his
death-bed the father asked to see hia son
and sheriff Walker sent deputy Duke-
man down with him. They had scarce-
ly returned to the jail when a telegram
announced the death of the old wan
and the convict was taken to the funer-
al by the deputy. At that time judge
Furst, who was in Philadelphia, de-
clined to say by telegraph whether he
could go or not, ani the sheriff, acting on
his own responsibility sent him down.
He was serving a 6 months sentence for
assault and battery.
{ The jail record shows him to be a man
| of about 36 year: of age, tall, dark com-
| plexion, black eyes, black wavy bair
! and really handsome.
Ir WiLL REMAIN STATE COLLEGE. —
i Ever since the question of incorpora-
"ting the village of State College as a
borough nas been agitated ;by some of
the progressive residents ot that place
there bas been more or less of a clash
up there. At first the project was
frowned down, but the promoters kept
averlastingly at it until they secured the
signatures of seventy-three, of the ninety
or more property holders in the place,
to a petition which is now befors the
court to inc rporate it as a borough.
Thinking that possibly the name of
State College, under which ibe thrifty
warrant>d a name, would not be in
keeping with the new dignity of
borough-bood some of the people began
talking of a new name for it. Some
thought that University Heights, Uni-
versity Place, Barrensville, Irvinrille,
or State Centre would, anyone of them,
be better than its present name. Ac-
cordingly a public meeting was. called
in the school house, last Saturday night,
to discuss the matter. Most of the
property holders were there or had: rep-
resentativas in attendance and quite a
lively meating was the result. “The
campus,” by which the men attached to
the College are familiarly known, favor-
ed a change, while most of the old resi-
dents wero satisfied to leave it as it bad
beon A vote followed in which State
College received 28; University
Heights, 24 ; and State Centra, 1.
——Two man who were driving out
of town, on the Jacksonville road. last
Friday morning, met with an accident
that wus almost as thrilling as it was
singular. A dog jumped out of a field
and ran across: the road ia feoat of their
team, frightening tha horses so that they
became unmanageable. Both men were
thrown out of the wagon and the team
ran off. Going like the wind they sud-
denly seemed to rear into ths air then
plunge forward on to their heads, to be
covered by the wrecked wagon and so
entangled in the harness as to be perfect-
ly helpless. The men, seeing the end-
ing of the runaway, hurried to the scene
and extracted the horses before any
serious injury had resulted.

some unaccountable reason the return sheet
from Taylor showed that G. M. Walk had been
elected, and all the papers announced [the re.
sult accordingly, but the fact that Mr. Beck-
with has been sworn in is evidence that it was
a mistake and that he is the lawful constable.
—I. V. Gray, the Wanamaker of Philipsburg,
with George Pottsgrove Eeq., of that place,
were in Bellefonte yesterday. The gentle-
men seemed to find much of consolation in
what they claimed to be the fact that ove
fonte streets seem to be productive of mor
of a Sabbath sensation than are those of our
sister town. Whatever the case might be we
would have all remember that Bellefonte is
looking particularly pious just now after
having been washed in the great moral wave
that awept over her recently.
—Men are as different as they are numerous.
On Saturday afternoon a gentleman from
Spring township dropped in to call for a few
moments and judging from his sober appear-
ance we imagined him to be the bearer of
most unwelcome news of some sort, It was
quite the reverse, however, for the person was
Mr. William Corman and he simply dropped
in to put himself right on our books, then chat
a little while. He doexn't come often; but
when he does he does the right thing.
—Wm. Mingle Esq., and Dr. John F. Alex-
ander, two men of whom Contre Hall has every
reason to feel proud, were in towa on Tuesday.
The former came over to tell his friends that
he had decided not to be a candidate for the
nomination for county treasurer and the latter
to receive a team of fine bay horses that had
been shipped. to him from Pittsburg. The
gentlemen spent ths day very pleasantly
here, When Mr. Mingle announced his
purpose not to enter the contest there was no
mistaking the friendship that freighted the
many words of regret that were expressed
over such a determination. ch a conclu.
sion was prompted by the most honorable
sentiment and with a desire that party har-
mony would be the better subserved by his
retirement as a possible candidate.

Rothrock tried to Fitzsimmons him,
but Bell wakened- up after awhile and
went for his assailant. He soon bad him
down on the pavement where he expect-
ed to chastise him until he would realize
what it was to “alk in meetin, but
with a desperation that was devilish in
the extreme the under man creoked his
fingers and pulled both hands down -
across his conqueror’s face. That ended
it, some one pulled Bell off and Roth-
rock jumped up and gave him a parting
crack on the nose.
Wilh the gore trickling down his
proboscis and his face scratched until it
looked more like a steak that has just
come off a broiling iron then anything
else, it was little wonder that Bell
sought redress before justice Keichline.
That official issued a warrant for Roth-
rock who appeared, waived a hearing
and entered bail for his appearance at
court.
