Faxon, formerly of Sterling, Neb., at the home of his nephew Thomas Faxon, on east High Street, in this place recalls an interesting fact concerning the old gentleman. He “was a resident of Lewistown, having been at ene time master mechanic of the old “State Road, and again in ’53 he was fore- ‘man of the Penna. railroad shops at Al- “foova. In company with some of our old- est citizens he used to ride over the ‘eoun- try on horseback. He can see many great _ fimprovements since then of course. Over 490 yearsago he went West, where he stayed until a couple of weeks ago. ——Rev. C. N. Woodson, who has serv- ed the A. M. E. church in this place so faithfully for the past five years, is about closing up the work of his pastorate here, preparatory to being sent to some other charge. He is the only minister who has remained the full conference time with the Bellefonte congregation and in justice to hia be it said that had all of the colored people in the town copied his courteous, re- spectful manners they would have profited amazingly in the good will of everybody. ‘We have found Mr. Woodson a gentleman under all circumstances, never forward or presumptuous, but none the less dignified and men of his character cannot but help lift their race. It seems to us that it would be only a fitting recognition of his unas- suming life among us to help him close up his business affairs in a highly satisfactory RE Hohe Ge A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT MILLHEIM. —It bas been just a few days over five years since the terrible Ettlinger tragedy at Woodward sent a thrill of horror all over Centre county and directed the attention of a startled public to the lower end of Penns- valley. That vicinity was the scene of an- other act in a terrible drama on Monday morning and one of the participants was laid in the grave on Wednesday, while the other hangs between life and death with a bullet from a 32 calibre revolver somewhere in her abdomen. The usually placid town of Millheim had scarce awakened to the work of the new week Monday ere it was shocked with the dreadful knowledge that a would-be mur- derer was lying dead—a suicide—by the road side, hardly two hundred yards from the public square. Jesse A. King had made a murderous as- sault on his bride of only two months and then, when he saw the officers approaching to arrest him, sent a bullet from the same weapon into his own body. just below the heart, causing death a few moments later. King was 26 years old, a son of Abram and Diana King, of Millheim, and a broth- er of Coburn King, who was in court here several years ago for stabbing a man at Millheim. He was always considered an erratic boy, one who was teased by every- one and consequently was subject to fre- quent displays of violent temper. Feb. 21st, 1901, he was ‘married to Junie Mow- ery, a daughter of Henry and Mary L. Mowery, of Aaronsburg. Some people say that their marriage should never have been permitted, since neither one of them was physically sound. King took his bride to a little house he bad secured at ‘‘Texas,”’ near Millheim, but they soon had trouble because Mrs. King complained that Jesse did not pro- vide enough to eat. Dissension continued until she left and went to live with her sis- ter at Spring Mills. On Saturday she re- turned to her mother’s home at Aaronshurg and learning that she was there Jesse went over and persuaded her to return to Texas with him, next day. While she went she. insisted that she would not stay, so in or- der to keep her Jesse hid her waist and shoes. When she arose Monday morning and was unable to find all of her apparel more trouble followed. Jesse had locked himself in one of the two rooms on the first floor of their house and she broke into where he was ; whereupon he pulled out his revolver and shot her, the ball entering Ler abdomen about the waist line on her right side, passing through both the liver and kidney and lodging just under the back—as is indicated by a dark blue spot in that region. Immediately after the shooting King ran out of the house and made his way to the home of his mother, nearby. Evidently he had remorse for what he had done, for he tried to persuade his mother to go back with him and do something for Junie. Up to that moment she was innocent of what he had done and when he told of his terri- ble deed his old father staggered back, say- ing ‘‘Oh, Jessie, you ought not to have done that.” - When told that he would be arrested he said he had no fear of that, for he would kill himself first. Then he left the house. His father hurriedly hitched up a horse to drive to Millheim in order to have the boy arrested, but after he had gone a short distance he returned and ad- vised his wife to lock the doors lest the boy return and try to kill her. His action was none too quick, for he had scarcely gone away again ere Jesse returned and tried to get in. There is no telling what he might have done had he gained an entrance. We leave the record here for a moment to turn to the girl who was heartlessly shot down by the man who, only two months before, bad promised to love and protect her. After he bad run out over her pros- dragged herself off to Millheim for aid. As it happened the nearest approach to that place brought her out at the office of justice of the peace F. P. Musser. She entered and told her terriblestory. A warrant was at once sworn out and constables P. P. Leit- zel and W. N. Auman started with a horse and buggy to arrest their man. They met him walking along the pike in front of Frank Kerns’ house. Wm. Reifsnyder was with him at the time. The officers at once explained their business to King when, as quick as a flash, he reached in hs inside pocket and pulling the revolver placed it to his heart and fired. The bullet entered just below his heart. The officers were horrified but they got him into. their buggy. and hurried toward Millheim. They only proceeded a short distance until he asked to be let ontand they complied with his re- quest, laying him down on the grass beside the road near the Neiman home where he expired about twenty minutes after the shooting cccurred. It was evident that, failing to get into his mother’s house when he returned, he had started to walk to Millheim when he was met by the officers. The bullet enter- ed his body about au inch below the heart, severing a large artery and causing inter- {nal hemorrhages from which he died. There was very little bleeding from the wound itself. Dr. Frank was at once summoned and did all in his power to make Mrs. King comfortable, though it was not deemed ad- visable to probe for the bullet. She was quite weak all day Monday, hut on Tues- day she had gathered enough strength to ‘warrant the statement that she might sar- vive. She scemed stronger in every way and talked freely about the tragedy to those about her. Mis. King’s story is sub- stantially as above, so far as it affects the scenes she wasa party to. : _ She had rather a bad night Wednesday, trate body she struggled to her feet and ; -bered among the best public but yesterday morning was so much hetter that the doctor thinks she will live. He will not probe for the bullet. ~ Jesse's body was burried Wednesday morning at 9:30, in the old cemetery. The funeral took place from his little home and afterwards services were held in the Metho- dist church by Rev. Haven. Quite a num- ber of people attended the service. The minister made no allusion to the dead, but preached a strong sermou to the living. ——— ee An order to close all fruit, candy and cigar stores in Lock Haven on Sunday is being rigidly enforced. ye ‘We began selling Royal paint twen- ty-five years ago.

Percy Lloyd has bonght the interest of the other heirs and will take the timber off. Peer ——Hal. Loraine, formerly of Philips- burg, but who has been living in Jackson- ville, Fla., for a number of years was one of the heavy sufferers through the great fire that swept that city last week. It is noteworthy that several years ago, when Mr. and Mis. Loraine came north to visit his brother, C. D. Loraine, in Philipsburg, the latter’s house caught fire and the in- mates barely escaped with their lives. Sd ppt LL ——We received a great many checks from patrons this week, for all of which we are duly thankful. There were many new names among the lot, which shows that the number of WATCHMAN readers is grows ing.

And while we never expect to have enough of the latter to ling a stable we are very grateful for what our good friends do send us. ——Dr. Clara C.

Hd ——One of the most prosperous manu- facturing establishments in the county, at the present time, is the Brockerhoff flour- ing mill at Roopsbhurg. ' Since it came: un- der the control of Mr. Curtis Y. Wagner he has built up its trade until in the. amount of business it now does, it; surpass- es any mill within the county. His sue- cess has come because the quality of the flour and feed turned out deserves it, as well as on account of his square dealing with both: the farmer and the purchasers of his prod- ucts. To get a fair price for any kind of grain, or to secure the finest flour in the county, or any kind of feed desired it is the place to go.

The piece deals with country life and peo- ple, three acts of the play being laid in one of the many quaint villages of Vermont. The second act (in.3 scenes) portrays Uncle Josh's first visit. to Washington City. In the third act a sensational saw mill effect is shown, being nothing more or less than a complete saw mill in fall operation, cut- ting up genuine timber. The saw is a genuine buzz or. circular saw, and cuts through timber at lightning speed. » THE GREAT CENTRE COUNTY FAIR SHAPING Ur.—On Tuesday evening the directors of the Centre County - Agriculsur- al Exhibiting Co., met and decided to hold their second annual fair on September 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th, 1901. ; These dates, coming as they do more than a month earlier than the ones on which the fair was held last year guaran- tees that the next fair will far surpass in grandeur the successful inaugural event of 1900. It will be the week following the Williamsport exhibition and as the latter follows the meets of the famous Erie cir- cuit racing association the gentlemen have decided to hang out purses that will at- tract all the fast horses from those great contests. In every respect the coming fair will be made superior to anything of the kind ever held in this section. Last year there were more than seventy-five horses here to contest. This fall there will he more still. The acrobatic and amusement features will be far more novel and diver- sified, because it will he so much earlier in the season that better ones can be pro- cured. With such an early announcement and start great things may be expected, and it might be well for our country read- ers to bear the fact in mind, now that they are in the act of planting corn, pumpkins and other products, that the association paid promptly in cash last fall all the premiums and will offer better ones next fall. ; Of course there is little chance of making yourselves rich through premiums at a fair —and no one expects to do it—hut a thought about the matter now might result in taking several prizes with some of your products, thus paying your expenses during fair days and giving you a delightful out- ing after the harvest is over, as well as the pleasurable pride every farmer should take in excelling in some line or other. There wasn’t a pers-n—horseman, ex- hibitor or patron—who left the fair grounds last fall dissatisfied. It was a record to be proud of for young men, novices, we might say, at the business and it was the sense of all present at the meeting Tuesday night that no effort dare be shirked toward making the second fair far greater than the first. To this end every energy will be bent. There will be no big spring race meet to divide the energies or resources. Though there might he a few local races all the energies of the association will be directed toward September 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th and we feel safe in predicting a wonderful show on those days. . *de THE PRIZE WINNERS— Louise Brachbill and George Overton were the successful competitors for the prize of $10 in gold which the Bellefonte Chapter of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution offered to the pupils of the senior grammar school for the best paper on a historical subject. The the stone building and the contestants were Goldie Cain, Edna Meyers, Louise Brachbill, Paul Etters, David Barlett and George Overton, The opening number of the exercises was a prayer by Rev. George Israel Brown. Short addresses were made hy D. F. Fort- ney and Edward Overton and the judges found it no easy matter to render a decis- ion, for the work of everyone of the con- testants was meritorious. Then Louise Brachbill was awarded $5 for her well writ- ten paper on ‘‘The Declaration of Indepen- dence’”’ and George Overton secured the other five dollars for his essay on ‘‘The First Blood of the Revolution.”’ The. en- tertaining and well attended exercises were concluded by a prayer by Rev. C. N. Woodson. : eee AP eet. slight change has heen made in the fire sig- mals that it might be well for all to ac- quaint themselves with.
