THE ARMLESS PROPRIETOR OF THE BIG BEAN HOTEL RESCUED BY A POSSE OF BELLEFONTE BRAVES. — Just why they call it the ‘‘Big Bean’’ and how its armless proprietor manages to keep his books straight, unless he is handy with his toes, we have been unable to find out, buta WATCHMAN representative has ran down all the facts in a thrilling riot that occurred at that hostlery on Tuesday night. The ‘‘Big Bean’’ is a hotel of the 10x20 order, located at the Keystone quarries of A. A. Stevens, about two miles and a half up Buffalo run. It is managed by an arm- less Hungarian, assisted by his wife, and on the eventful night two guests were found in the place. One was the stalwart broth- er of the proprietor and the other was a fellow countryman from Hungary. Just how the trouble started no one seems to be able to state intelligently, but it appears that the two boarders under- took to claim a third interest in the arm- less proprietor’s better half and when he objected a melee that threatened to wipe the ‘‘Big Bean’’ clear off the map of Ben- ner township resulted. The workmen on the night turn at the kilns became alarmed and didn’t know what to do. They were wholly unable to cope with the trouble and the shrieks of the woman and the howls of the armless proprietor rang terrifyingly up and down the run until the men were driven to desperation. Then a bright idea struck one of them, as he remembered mayor Blanchard’s hurry-up wagon and his cordon of blue coated officers that flourished in Centennial times. The mayor was called by phone at midnight and with duty staring him in the face he started to find a posse. On the way, however, he realized that the trouble was out of his bailiwick and the sheriff was called to arms. First, deputy sheriff Jackson was routed out, then the giant keeper of the bastile on the hill marched down. By that time the Logan Engine house and the Brockerhoff house had disgorged a band of hlood-thirsty braves that must have made Matthew Volk’s brewery quake, as they galloped by in the inky blackness of the night. The assembly of the posse was fraught Around at the Logan Engine house the call to arms had the effect of thompsonizing Jerry Fasig, for he remembered he was sick the moment he heard the nature of the trouble. At the Brockerhoff house the first call for big men didn’t meet with a satisfactory response and Capt. Taylor straightway or- dered Maurice Jackson out for duty. A word was sufficient. Maurie darted for his room like a jack rabbit at full speed and long before the rest of the party had got- ten their spirits up to the starting point, he reappeared—a walking arsenal. He had on a red cap and sweater, a Marlin repeat- ing rifle hung over his shoulder, around his waist was strapped a big belt of cartridges, and out from under the tail of his coat glistened threateningly the muzzles of two. 45 revolvers. In anticipation of wading in gore up to his knees Maurie had put on | gum boots and had be only had the big teeth he would have made Teddy Roose: velt look like a tin soldier. = * The carriages were waiting and into them climbed Sheriff Brungard, deputy Harry Jackson, detective Joe Rightnour, Mayor Blanchard, and special deputies Wilbur F. Harris, Capt. Taylor, Hard P. Harris, Fred Blanchard, George Canning- fram and Harry Gehret. Maurie was load- \ing his last thousand rounds of ammuni- ‘tion into the carriages when the horses re- fused to be curbed longer and dashed away; leaving him and his bristling armor as part of the home guard. You can imagine how urgent the case was when a stop wasn’t even made at Roopshurg. Arrived on the scene at 12:30 all seemed serene, bat detective Rightnour was anxious to appropriate whatever glory /| was to be had and while Capt. Taylor was preparing to deploy a line of skirmishers over the mountain towards Snow Shoe In- tersection, so they could come up in the rear, he and *‘Stoner’’ Gehret crept stealth- ily up to the ‘‘Big Bean.”” All was quiet —not even the wind stirred. An entranee was effected and the posse flocked in like sheep after a bell wether.” There was the poor woman and her armless protector. He was bloody and showed signs of having been severely choked. Here was a pretty mess. The armless man couldn’t point the way to his assailants and he counldn’t talk intelligently enough to tell where they were, but finally the sleuths located them-in- another -room,- where they. were. trying to hold an old stove, that had evi- dently been kicked over and broken up, together. They had placed a lighted lamp in it to warm their hands and were as peaceful as a Quaker meeting house when the posse confronted them. : The brother of the armless proprietor was the principal offender, so he was arrested and brought to jail, together with $21.21 found on his person. - There was no evi- dence that any serious crime had been com- mitted but it took the posse two hoars to get disbanded after its return home. George Fasig says that the only reason ‘the mayor went was to corral another sus- pect for his Linn street hugging case. ——The work of decorating the interior of the Methodist church in Bellefonte will probably be completed within two weeks. The frescoers are now working in the lec- ture room; which the committee recently decided should be frescoed, thus saving the future expense of papering from time to time. The prevailing tints in the church are olives and salmons, nothing very pro- nounced, and the effect, when completed, will probably be little differens from the old. The most noticeable change will be in the front of the church, where ‘three well defined arches break up the old flat appearance it had. before the work of re- modeling was begun. ——There are twenty-two patients in the Cottage hospital at Philipsburg. it ——A pine tree was recently skidded near Cross Fork that scaled 5,212 feet in sixteen foot logs. es —— Mrs. Beckie Miller, of Salona, who is still active and busy about her home, was born on the same day as the late Queen Victoria.

They hope to realize enough funds from it to purchase much needed uniforms. The concert will be well worth attending. — ype ——Geo. H. Smull, who recently re- signed his position with the N. Y. Life Ins. Co., which company he represented for five years in this section, has accepted a similar position with the Mutual Life Ins. Co. of New York. This position was former- ly held by Wm. T. Grauer. S———r AA rete ——Alexander Hartsock, aged 19 years, of Martha Furnace, was working at the shears in the Tyrone iron works on Friday afternoon, when he got his left hand caught in the cogs.

Gemmil dressed the wounds and he was taken to the Altoona hospital. er ——A new station house to cost $30,000 is to be erected the coming spring at Jer- sey Shore Junction by the New York Cen- tral railroad company.

It was originally intended to take Lewis- town into the combination, but the cost of transportation ‘was too large to make it practicable. Rigel iil ii] ——The Spruce Creek tunnel, the scene of so many murders during the past year, will probably have to give up its notoriety now to some spot along the proposed West Branch railroad. Five car loads of south- ern negroes arrived in Clearfield to work on the road on Monday and whenever they get settled the shooting is bound to hegin. oo -—— “The Real Widow Brown,” under the management of Q. A. Scammon, will be the attraction at Garman’s on Monday night January 28th. This pleasing farce comedy was seen here last season and was a very clever one in the class of such plays as “What Happened to Jones,”’ ‘Other Peoples Money” and the ‘‘Battle Scarred Hero.”” It gave entire satisfaction and is likely to please again this season. It is necessarily light and as the old German proverb has it ‘‘It is too langh.”’ $e tetas gM Steet: ——A reward of $100 has been offered for the recovery of the body of Prof. J. G. Gerberich, of the Lebanon Business College, whose mysterious disappearance has given rise to the suspicion that there was foul play in his case. Prof. Gerberich is a cous- in of C. T. Gerberich of this place and as portions of his clothing and his rifled pock- et-book were found along the river bank, near Rockville, above Harrisburg, it is sup- posed that he was murdered by tramps who infest that locality, then robbed and thrown into the river. Sp————— gH rp — ——The latest word from Edgar Rerick, son'of L. H. Rerick, of Spring township, who was thought to have been fatally hurt by being hit. by a trolley car at Niagara Falls the night before Christmas, is to the effect that he is ‘recovering slowly. * He is still in the hospital. His woundsare heal- ing, but he is not regaining the use of his mental faculties as satisfactorily as is wish- ed for. While he is perfectly rational and recognizes those immediately about him he does not seem to be in possession of memory at all. His friends will unite in our hope that the near future will see him perfectly restored in health of mind and body. : Living Wire A BROKEN BACK.—There was in Bellefonte on Monday a young man who has lived several months with a brok- en back and as he laid in his cot in the ladies waiting zoom of the P. R. R. station waiting until the departure of the 2:15 train, few of those whe passed by him realized the terrible condition he was in. Though completely paralyzed he seemed bright and patient and talked ‘hopefully toa WATCHMAN representative. He was ‘pale as might have been expected in one ‘who had been ill for any length of time, but seemed otherwise to have undergone the awful ordeal very heroically. There were no furrows of pain, nor evidences of wasting away, and he said that he suffered very little of late, the piralysis caused by the broken spine having stopped that. ‘The patient was Homer Harry, of Re- bersburg, who had been working in the lumber woods’ near Cross Forks, Potter, ‘county, until a falling tree brought the injury to his back from the effects of which no one has ever recovered and few survived as long as he has. His sister Annie, Min- nie Vandusky, a narse from the Austin hospital, a nd his brother Irvin were with him. They arrived here on the morning train from Salona, where the injured ‘man bas a sister whom he stopped to visit ; thus breaking up the long trip home and giving him a chance to get rested. "His cot was carried to the Pennsylvania station, where he awaited the departure of the 2:15 train for Coburn. Two DEATHS FROM CONSUMPTION AT EAGLEVILLE.—The death of George W.
