FARMER JERRY RoAN dELD-Up NEAR
PHILIPSBURG.—Jerry Roan, who lives on
his own farm about three miles west of
Bellefonte, on the Buffalo-run road, was
the victim of a hold-up near Philipsburg,
Friday evening. The particulars of the
robbery are about as follows:
Jerry arrived in Philipsburg Friday
morning, having some business on hand.
After it had been transacted be visited
several of the hotels about the town and
fell in with a young fellow who gave his
name as Calvin Stiles and claimed to live
somewhere near Snow {Shoe. They soon
became ‘‘buts” and had a good time, at
Jerry’s expense of course, until about 7:30
in the evening when they wandered down
the Pennsylvania railroad tracks to the
watering tank, near the engine house.
There the young man proceeded to ‘do up”’
his farmer friend and relieve him of his
money. He choked him, hammered him
and kicked him until he was’ presumably
unconscious. Then he rifled his pockets,
and in words that were overheard (by the
farmer, said, ‘‘I’ll get a coupling pin and
do the rest.’” Just then he heard the
tyerk Water’? passenger returning
from Houtzdale, and throwing Jerry
on the track said, ‘‘It will do the bal-
ance.” Then he hurried away, and his
victim hearing the tain appreach-
ing, rolled off the track far enough to al-
low it to pass. He was soon able to get
up, and at once reported the affair to the
men at the engine house near by.
Jerry was in pretty bad shape and was
taken to the Continental hotel, where he
told his story to chief of police Sankey.
The latter started to hunt the assailant and
half an hour later had him before his vie-
tim. He was identified as the right man
and was locked up until Saturday morning,
when he was given a hearing before justice
Sandford who held him under $400 for his
appearance at court. Being unable to fur-
nish the necessary bondsmen constable
Willium Batchelor brought him to jail that
day.
Stiles professes to remember nothing
about the assault. He had about $8 on
his person when arrested and an old tobac-
co pouch which Jerry claims he always
used as a purse, though he says he was
robbed of $17 the prisoner might have
spent the balance or Jerry might have been
mistaken as to the amount. Stiles is a
native of Missouri, ahout 25 years old
and unmarried.

A WARNING TO WOMEN TRAVELERS—
The following incident will serve to illus-
trate a new scheme that sharps of western
cities are working, with more or less suc-
cess, or unsuspecting women travelers. It
is a clever one and so adroitly managed
that it is little wonder that many are en-
snared. A Bellefonte woman was recently
marked as prey in Chicago, but her good
judgment saved her from being robbed and
~ probably a far worse fate.
She had been West and was homeward
bound, when she decided to stop off in Chi-
cago for a short visit with a cousin, who
was married and living in one of the
suburbs of that city. Of course the cousin
had been apprised of her coming by letter,
but she was admonished against trying to
get into Chicago to meet her relative from
this place at such an inconvenient hour as
7 a. m., that being the time her train would
reach the city. The traveler arriving at
the station got off and went leisurely to
the restaurant where she had breakfast.
After finishing the meal she took a seat in
the main waiting room, at the head of the
stairs leading down to the train shed, to
idle the time away until her cousin would
come. She had been seated there only a
few moments, when a well dressed, respect-
able looking man approached her and, rais-
* ing his hat, said : “‘You are Mis. 72
She said “yes, thatis who I am,’ and then
he said, hurriedly : ‘‘Well, you are my
wile’s cousin, so come right along with me.”
By this time the lady had gotten to her
feet, whereupon the man familiarly took
her arm, as if to lead her out of the station.
Fortunately she bad a slight recollection
as what her cousin’s husband looked like
and it suddenly flashed through her mind
that this man in no wise resembled him.
Then she turned and said : ‘‘No sir, I will
not go with you. Icame to meet a lady
and will wait until she comes.”” At this
the man hastened out of the station. A
little later the cousin arrived and was
greatly astonished when she heard the
story, for she knew that her husband was
at his place of business and had had no
idea of going to the station.
The incident was not followed up until
a short time ago when it was told to a
young Pittsburger who was enough inter-
ested to relate it to the superintendent of
police of that city. That official informed
him that the scheme was a new one that is
being worked with much success in west-
ern cities, where it is supposed that the
sharp gets the name of his dupe from serv-
ants employed in the home she is expected
to visit. This would be very easy of ac-
complishment and an identifying deserip-
tion of the visitor might also be had in this
way if there should happen to be a picture
of her in the house which the servant could
see and describe to her accomplice.
Happily, in this case, the woman’s good
judgment saved her, but how many uu-
suspecting women or girls, or even men,
might fall into just such a cleverly laid
trap? It is well worth remembering and
should be a warning to everyone visiting
strange places to have a care as to whom
they put confidence in and to be a little
curious as to the whys and wherefores of
things when alone.

SPLENDID TALENT FOR A LEMONT CON-
CERT.—The Lemont Presbyterians are go-
ing to have a concert in the church at that
place on Thursday evening, Oct. 24th, and
from the amount of talent they have, se-
cured there is no doubt but that it will be
the finest musical entertainment ever heard
in that vicinity.
The State College student’s quartet,
Messrs. Dieke, Wert, Sharpe and Merkle,
will sing several numbers and the others
are Miss Wyman, Orford, N. H., piano;
Miss Mary Dale, Lemont, organ; Miss Belle
Thompson, Spruce Creek, soprano; Miss
Emily Alexander, Centre Hall, soprano;
Prof. J. H. Leete, State College, bass; Mr.
F. J. Saunders, Syracuse, N. Y., barytone;
Mr. R. J. Huber, Shamokin, violin, and
Mr. R. W. Bower, Harrisburg, cornet.
With such an array of musicians the
repair fund of the church ought to be great-
ly augmented, for it will be an entertain-
ment worth far more than the R25cts. ad-
mission to be charged.

To the Citizens of Milesburg and
Vicinity,
I take this method of acknowledg-
ing the very marked courtesy and kindness
uniformly shown me since my residence in
Milesburg.
But on Saturday evening 5th inst., when
Mr. P. H. Haupt placed in my hand a paper
signed by no less than eighty-five of the vot-
ers of our town and vicinity, I was more than
surprised and wore than pleased.
If by the grace of God, whom I love and
endeavor to serve, I have merited the favor
and esteem of my fellow citizens, regardless
of church or social affiliations, to Him our
heavenly Father be all praise.
At no time had I fully decided to close my
labors at present as pastor of the Milesburg
Baptist church ; and my friands may rest as-
sured there is less inclination to do so
now. My earnest prayer to God is that He
will continue His favor and enable me to re-
tain the respect and friendship of the citi-
zens of our community.

of directors, teachers and parents was neces-
sary to round out the character of the child
and to fit it for a responsible position in life.
Above all it is the parents’ fault if the child
is not given a fair education these days for
the county is well equipped with schools and
if the child is taught obedience and made to
study he will come out on top.
