THE OPENING OF THE HUNTING SEA- soN.—The season for wild turkeys, part- ridges, quail, squirrels and woodcock open- ed on Tuesday and the woods in this sec- tion were alive with hunters. Notwith- standing the poor bags that are reported up to this time secretary Kalbfus, of the state game commission, who recently made a trip through the game sections of the State, says birds of all kinds and squirrels are unusually plentiful. They are to be seen in sections of the State where they have not been known for 20 years past. He predicted a good hunting season. Mr. Kalbfus will wage a war on viola- tors of the game laws this year and to the end of carrying out the state laws will in- voke to his aid the act of March 22nd, 1899, which makes the constables of the state ex-officio forestry, game and fish wardens, and requires them to prosecute all violations of the forestry, fish or game laws coming under their immediate notice or reported to them in writing in a man- ner prescribed by the act. The penalty for neglecting or refusing to 80 act is $50, or two months imprisonment. Constables get $10 extra from the county for successful prosecution of all game cases, besides this under the act of 1897 the in- former is entitled to one-half of all fines recovered. “So that where the constable is the informer he is certainly well paid for his services. By the aid of the constables and the agents of the commission Mr. Kalbfus hopes to prevent many violations and to apprehend and punish those who hunt re- gardless of the law and who formerly went free. While reports are meagre and every- one knows enough to make allowance for all stories told about the 15th of October or April. enongh is known to indicate that birds are scarce. Squirrelsseem to be fair- ly plentiful and wild turkeys are reported numerous in every section of the county, though few of them were bagged ou Tues- day. The best records made at various places are as follows : Among the Bellefonte hunters results were very unusual. John Nighthart, Mor- ris Yeager, Jacob Knisely and Bob Bauey each got turkeys. Harry Green had 8 gray squirrels and a pheasant; George and Ollie Miller, 6 grays; Robt Morris and Maurie Jackson, 6 quail; Abe Jackson’s party 8 squirrels; Harry Jackson, 2 pheasants and 2 squirrels; Dr. Geissinger, 8 squirrels; John Hall, 12 squirrels; Ed. Eckenroth, 2 pheasants and 1 squirrel. These were the best records made. Of course there were a lot of fellows like Charley Heisler, Bruce Garman, John Bower, Hard Harris, John Knisely, Dr. Klump and Roger Brouse who spent the day in the woods and ac- cidentally ran across a quail or a squirrel, but as they are not regarded as hunters no one expects a record from them. A SHOOTING ACCIDENT AT REBERSBURG. The only accident of a serious nature re- ported in the county occurred near Rebers- burg, where Harry Ocker from Aarons- burg buried seventeen bb shot in David Diehl’s neck and arm. Diehl bad shot a wild turkey and was going home with it over his shoulder. He had occa- gion to stoop down to fix his gun when Ocker, slipping along some distance away, saw the turkey and thought it alive. He blazed away at it with the result that seventeen of the shot penetrated Diehl. The latter hurried home and was soon in the hands of a physician who removed all of the shot. He is not seriously hurt. Harry Shultz, of Rebersburg, got a wild turkey; Ira Houtz, 1 turkey; S. L. Stro- hecker, 4 pheasants and 2 gray squirrels; and Tom Harter. 3 pheasants and 2 squir- rels. A BEAR OPENS THE SEASON AT STATE COLLEGE. The sports about State College are about run to death as the result of a big black bear’s having opened up their season a day earlier than the regular time. Of course John Snyder got 8 grays; Jim Holmes, 7; Hamil Holmes 8, and two College students 12 grays and 2 coons, but the most of the attention on Tuesday was given to bruin. Early Monday morning Mr. James Holmes returned from having’ taken his cow to pasture just north of the College, and reported that he had seen a bear ruminating around through the fields ous there. If State had beaten Yale at foot- ball there couldn’t have been more excite- ment in that village than there was a minute or so later. Everyone who remem- bered the thrill of the great bear hunt a number of years ago, when bruin actually invaded the college campusand was chased off by three hundred howling students only to fall a victim to Gum Haubler’s deadly aim, wasup in arms and keen for the chase. Scores headed for the Barrens, but Will Foster and Irv Holmes were the only ones who got near enough for business. The former paid his compliments to bruin with a Winchester and the old bear was so overcome with William’s aim that he laid down and rolled over in the road. But he didn’t stay down. He ambled on and then Irv Holmes put a load of buck-shot into him that made him switch his tail like a nervous mule in fly time. No, that ain’t right, for hears don’t have tails, do they ? But he would have switched ‘er, all right, if hie had bad one, so Irv thinks, and that is all that is necessary. : It was growing dark and the critter got to cover, after leaving a trail of gore that they say must have taken two gallons of blood to make. Next morning, bright and early, there was a great army after him. The bed he bad laid in out near Buggers- burg, on Tate’s ridge, was found and they went after him for dear life, but he escaped to the mountains withont baving presented himeelf again for a target. RECORDS MADE AT OTHER PLACES. Up about Unionville they came pretty | to 0 in favor of the visitors. They near ending the turkey hunting. There were 19 carried into that place Tuesday evening and all but 2 of them were shot on the Bald Eagle mountain. A party of four men from Altoona got 6; Clayton Stover got 2; Joe Resides, 1; Rev. Mumma, 1; Archie VanValin, 2 turkeys and 2 squir- rels; George Grimes, 1 turkey; George Ingram, 2 turkeys; Henry Aaron, 1 tur- key; Samuel Roach and Joe Harding, of Winber, 2 turkeys; Harrold Fisher, 2 gray squirrels; John Holt, 2 squirrels; Howard Holzworth, 3 squirrels and 1 pheasant; Paul Shipley, 4 squirrels. Up about Stormstown there was little hunting done. Burkets reported that only a couple of pheasants and a couple of squir- rel had been brought in there. A man named Robison, of Port Matilda, got two turkeys on the ridge above Storms- town. At Penua Furnace C. P. Calderwood, got 2 turkeys and 7 squirrels; Perry Hil- liard, got a 131b. turkey; Wilson Henry, got 2 turkeys and Robert Powley, 1. Most of the hunting in that section was for tur- keys and few squirrels or pheasants were bagged. At Pine Grove it was nearly all squirrel hunting and the best records were made by Newt Krebs, who got 5; Ed. Reed, 5; John Saucerman, 5 and a pheasant, and J oe Goss, 5. Cal Breon seems to have been the only Millheim bunter who had much luck. He got 3 pheasants, 1 woodcock, 1 quail and 2 squirrels. The crack shots of the county, Al and Will Harter, of Coburn, got 12 pheasants and Dave Chambers and George Uzzle, of Clarence, got 7 together. The Pleasant Gap hunters evidently didn’t fare very well for no one seemed to know anything about them on Wednesday. Ammon Kerstetter and a companion got 15 squirrel over about Rock, but they were the only ones reported. Rufus Beerly was the lucky man about Jacksonville. He bagged 15 quail and Will and George Bechtol got 5 squirrel and 4 quail. But yesterday Daniel Harter march- ed up onto the mountain with bis trusty gun and bagged two fine gobblers that weighed 14 Ibs. each. Very few of the Philipsburg hunters re- ported their work which is to say that they didn’t get much. Chief of police Samuel Sankey bagged a’ wild turkey, pheasant and squirrel, and Harry Goss was lucky enough to capture a nice, fat wild turkey. Hamer Sankey was out for only an hour or two, but shot three squirrels. ls lobe eiis —— Vogel's hig minstrels at Garmans tonight will be well worth hearing. > ——John Zellers and John Grape, of Loganton, recently cuta bee tree from which they took 2001bs of honey. i ye ——‘“The Missouri Girl” is a pretty comedy that comes to Garman’s on Tues- day night, Oct. 22nd. rer ere ly ——A delegation of fraternity boys were in Lock Haven Tuesday purchasing furni- ture for the Kappa Sigma house at State College. . —— SOS ——TRev.

ARRESTED FOR TRAIN WRECKING.— Harry Miller, the undersized 18 year old son of Frank Miller, colored, is in jail a- gain. This time he is under $2,000 bonds for having made a partially successful at- tempt to wreck a crowded excursion train on the C. R. R. of Pa. The crime was committed on the night of the Reformed picnic at Hecla Park, in August. The train, which is due here at 9:02 in the evening, was thrown off the track just helow the passenger station, and only through the fact that the train was running slow was a serious accident and probable loss of life prevented. As it was the engine and two cars were derailed. The accident was due to the fact that some mis- creant had opened hoth the switches at this point. The police authorities have heen investigating the matter since and their ef- forts finally culminated in the arrest of Miller. This makes the third serious charge that has been preferred against this boy within six months. First he was complicated in the stealing of Origin Atwood’s horse, but upon return of the animal it was hush- ed up. Second, he robbed Irvin's sta- tionery store of $20 iu cash; having broken into the place through a back win- dow after dark. He pleaded guilty to the charge, but as his parents represented him to be only 12 years old sentence was sus- pended pending good behavior. If this charge can be fastened on the young repro- bate nothing should stand between him and a long term in a reformatory. He isa bad boy and the reformatory would have been the place for him long ago, as his home surroundings are not such as to cor- rect any of his vicious habits or turn him to better ways. —— To Raise Trour—The discovery made during the past season that there are scarce- ly any small trout remaining in Spring creek and the belief that the large ones have eaten them up has prompted the Sportsmen’s League to take some steps to- ward successfully replenishing our depleted trout streams. It is regarded as absolutely futile to at- tempt to do so by merely dumping the cans of fry sent out by the national and state hatcheries into the streams, for they are either too small to. help themselves or just the right size to be gobbled up by ducks or larger fish. Consequently the League has been working on plans for some time. . The old canal, running from the foot of Lamb street to a point directly opposite the P. R. R. round house, has always been fed by springs and makes an excellent natural poud. This has been cleaned out and two dams built across it. The intention is to place the fry that are secured in the upper dam, where they will be fed and cared for until large enough to run into the lower one and then, after staying there until a fair size they will be permitted to run right through the drain into Spring creek. The idea is an excellent one. The pond being public property will get everyone interested and have a tendency to increase the respect for the law governing fish and game. A more admirable pond could not be secured, as it has, natural- ly, pure, fresh water and is protected from flooding by the wall of the C. R. R. of Pa. Of course it is only an experiment but if it turns out as expected will probably result in changing the present method of stocking streams. eee AA en et McCoy’s STORE AT Porrers MILLS BURNED.—The village of Potters Mills, about three miles south of Centre Hall, had a disastrous fire on Monday afternoon when the large general store of McCoy & Son and a nearby shed owned by Edwa Allison went up in flames. . The fire was of accidental origin and started between 1 and 2 o’clock in the af- ternoon in the cellar under a ware room at the rear of the store. A lighted lamp was kept burning there all the time and during the afternoon Frank McCoy was trying to move a large 100 gallon oil tank. It up- set, spilling the forty gallons of oil it con- tained out onto the floor and then became ignited from the lamp. Iu an instant the whole place was ablaze. Mr. McCoy scarcely escaped with his life; his face, bands and brows being badly scorched. The fire burned with great rapidity and soon the store and post office, with all con- tents and the 30x60 two-story frame build- ing were nothing but a mass of smoulder- ing ashes. The fire spread from the store building to the shed of Edward Allison, nearby, which was also destroyed. A. McCoy & Son’s loss is about $5,500 on which there is $4,000 insurance on stock and $500 on building. The only thing saved from the store was their ledger and day book. The Sportswan’s League of Potters Mills, which had a lodge room above the store. lost all their furniture. lee ; THE Musica NEXT WEEK.—Another one of those delightful musicals is to be given in the Methodist church in this place on Thursday night, Oct. 24th.

Miss Isabel MacDonald, organist of the Market Square Presbyterian church; Mis: Hench, soprano; Miss Worley, contralto, and Mr. Kinnard, barytone, make up a quartet of musicians who will be able to present a program well worth 50cts. admis- sion that will be charged. re AAA is. ——Arthur Rigby is oue of the best black face men in the business.
