mixed up in politics in Bellefonte he has
lost his cunning as a bunter, for he didn’t
get a squirrel. The apples he brought
back with him were wonders, however,
and the WATCHMAN force have been busy
storing away Spitzenbergs, smoke house,
rambos, northern spys, Baldwins, pound
apples, pipping, bell-flowers and numerous
other varieties ever since he came.
fer
THE CLOSING DAY: OF THE FAIR.—Con-
trary to the expectations of many there
were several thousand people ob the fair
races of the season and take a parting look
at the many interesting exhibits. Those
who were there will remember it as long
as they live because they were the fortunate
witnesses of two of the hardest fought races
ever seen on any track. They were of the
fever heat kind and such demonstrations
as the audience on the grand stand and
along the track rails made left no doubt of
the enthusiasm that was aroused.
The time was not so fast, bub time
doesn’t make a race by any means. Every
driver was out for the money and it became
evident from the first that some real sport
was to be enjoyed. Every heat was fought
clear out to the wire and when the free-
for-all was finished starter’ Frank Smith,
of Buffalo, who knows what horse racing
is, called the drivers to the judge’s stand
and publicly congratulated them on having
driven one of the fiercest races he bad ever
seen in all his long experience as a profes-
sional starter.
The free-for-all was finished as follows:
Princeway, b g (Orcult)........c.ccuuuuee 311 1
Jene Whitcomb, b m (Carlisle).......1 2 3 2
Cardigan Girl, gm (Miller)...c.........2 3° 2 3
Orange Chief, b s (Miller)................ 4 4 4 4
Time, 2.18%, 2.19%, 2.2014, 2.22.
THE DRIVERS WERE FINED.
In the 2:27 class there was a most
spectacular finish. After the fifth heat
when ‘Teddy’ had been drawn and
‘‘Code’’ was sent to the stables because he
had uot wop a heat and could not race in
the finals the horses were sent down for the
usual twenty-minute rub down between
heats. At the time for the sixth heat
none of the three were at the score ; neith-
er the starter’s bell nor the marshal could
get them out sooner than twenty minutes
late. It was then too dark to finish the
race so the drivers were called to the wire,
fined $25 each and the race postponed until
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. As it
rained all day Saturday the raze could not
be finished and the purse wasdivided, under
an amicable agreement between the owners,
hetween ‘‘Doctor M,”” “Vernes Hal’’ and
“John D.*’
This was a wonderful race. All the
skill of clever drivers and the speed of a
bunch of evenly matched horses was
brought into play to: effect a result that
not even ‘‘the wisest swipe’’ on the track
could have guessed. And to this day you
can’t find two horsemen who will agree as
to which horse would bave won the de-
ciding heat bad it been driven Friday even-
ing. ‘‘Johu D,”” was looked upon as very
likely then, but the rain next morning
saved him from an ignominious downfall,
for he was so badly used up that he conldn’t
have gotten out of his stable for the final
had it been called Saturday morning.
A peculiar condition of this race was
that just before it started the owners of
‘Doctor M’’ and ‘‘Jobn D’’ had traded
their horses, though they retained the
earnings of the race that their original
horsés would draw and also the right to
drive them in the race.

A BRIDGE SNARL—Considerable trouble
has been kicked up over a little stone
bridge that has just been completed near
commissioner A. V. Miller's home at
Pleasant Gap. The bridge was built by
the supervisors of Spring township under
sanction of court; the contract for it being
awarded to James McCafferty, of this place,
who gave R. B. Taylor, A. C. Mingle and
Sidney Krumrine as bondsmen for the satis-
factory completion of the work,
_ For some reason or other contractor Mc-
Cafferty did not push the work as rapidly
as the supervisors thought it should be
done so they fell back upon the hondsmen.
As a result of this Mr. Taylor undertook
to complete the work for the bondsmen.
Hedid it and on Monday the court ap-
pointed viewers to go out and report on its
character. They found it all right and a
deoree was issued accordingly.
Mr. McCafferty secured this report of the
viewers and demanded payment from the
supervisors for the work; wherenpon Mr.
Taylor immediately filed a bill in equity
and asked for an injanction restraining the
supervisors from paying over the money 0°
McCafferty. The court fixed Wednesday
morning, November 4th, as the time for
the argument on the injunction.
The bridge that has caused all the troub-
le is a little stone arch structure that judges
say is very nicely built.

THE PoST-OFFICE ROBBERS CONVICTED.
—The four post-office robbers who were
arrested in the old Faust hotel barn in the
Seven mountains, south of Potters Mills,
on June 20th, by sheriff Taylor and his
posse, were tried at Scranton this week
and convicted.
The three men William Palmer, Samuel
Shireman and James Ryan went on the
stand and swore that they had never seen
their companion, James Lewis, before the
time he was pulled out of the hay loft
after being shot by treasurer Foster, this
to prove that the real leader of their gang
was not known to them.
Notwithstanding their perjury the entire
quartes was convicted on all three counts,
viz : Robbing the post-offices at Ruther-
ford, Woodward and Linden Hall.
Ryan and Lewis each received six years
in the penitentiary. Shireman and Pal
were Sentenced to seven years each. They
received the extra year because they were
positively identified as having held a
man up at Rutherford.

STORMSTOWN PEOPLE WORKING FOR
THE HosPITAL.—Up to this time several
communities in the county have made or-
ganized efforts to help maintain the hos-
pital in this place, which must be regarded
as a purely county institution. The ladies
of Centre Hall have already done good
work in that direction, the employees of
the mines at Scotia have generously raised
$100 among themselves, those in the Nit-
tany valley mines have added a goodly
cash contribution out of their earnings and
the men of the Bellefonte and Nittany far-
naces have done wonderfully well in their
laudable work of raising money for the in-
stitution, the people about Waddles sent
in a fine donation a week or so ago and
have a nice cash contribution to make also.
These represent the effort outside of
Bellefonte up to this time, but the people
of Stormstown and vicinity have put their
shoulders to the wheel now and on Friday
night, Oot. 30th, they are going to givea
chicken and waffle supper for the benefit
of the hospital. It will be served in the
0dd Fellows hall at Stormstown and every-
body is invited to partake of it.
There have been several patients from
that community in the hospital since its
opening so that the Stormstown people are
acquainted, to a certain extent, with the
work that is being done; in fact they feel
grateful for the good the institution has al-
ready been to their sick and distressed and
their gratitude is finding expression in
substantial manner.
* BEARS ARE PLENTY-The first wéek of
the bunting season did not bring in any
record breaking bags of small game, but it
has heen many years since so many hear
have been killed or seen in the Centre
county forests this early in the season. I$
had been known that bear were about, but
it was expected that they would all dis-
appear ere the time arrived when the woods
wonld be full’ of hunters of squirrel,
pheasants and turkeys. 'On the contrary,
however, it appears that bronin is growing
more careless every day, for three cases last
week in which fine specimens of his tribe
walked right up to hunters with guns
would indicate it.
Over at Linden Hall Edward Horner, a
nineteen year old boy, killed oue on Tues-
day morning that weighed 3001bs. A
neighbor, George Swabh, told him that the
bear was around there so he got his gun
and followed. It was some time before
Horner discovered the tracks, but he
finally rounded up the bear in Searson’s
corn field. He was naturally a little shy
about getting too close to the critter, so he
tried a load of buck shot on him at a fair
ravge. It didn’t have any other effect
than to make the bear very mad and it
made for the young hunter with angry
growls and threatening paws. He was ina
plight for a moment, because he counld not
get the discharged shell out of his gun to
make room for another one, but just as the
bear got within striking distance Le got a
load of bird shot into the chamber and
fired ; the charge plowing a great hole in
the hear’s thrvat and cansing death almest
instantly.
It was scarcely nine o’clock on Saturday
morning ere Perry Hines, the twenty year
3 i . . #o
Morris comes with the reputation of being
old son of Sam Hines, of Hecla park, had a
fine hig cub lying dead in Logan’s path
through Rag-valley. He had gone out to
hunt with his younger brother Charley and
when they ran across the bear Perry began
pumping his Winchester in a way that
would have done credit to a sharp shooter.
The range was a little long and the boy
had to send four shots after bruin, but he
later had the satisfaction of discovering
that three of them hit their mark.
The bear dressed 189 lbs.
Jasper Brooks and Boyd Spicher, of
Pleasant Gap, were out gunning last Sat-
urday and were on their way home about
half after four. Mr. Brooks was resting
for a moment along the foot of the moun-
tain between Samuel Noll’s and “A. V.
Miller’s farms, when be suddenly espied-a
bear coming down the mountain toward
him. . He had been hunting birds and was
armed with nothing but No. 6 shot, but he
decided to try for the bear notwithstand-
ing his light ammunition.
Coolly taking a good position he awaited
until the bear got as close to him as he
thought it would ¢ome then he fired. The
animal was so close that the shot knocked
it over, but it jumped up almost immediate-
1y and started to run. Mr. Brooks took
another crack at it with the result that it
tell again, after going a short distance and
never got up. He is of the opinion that
the'second shot had little effect and that
the first shot caused its death. There were
two shot grains in the animal’s heart. If
weighed 215 1bs drawn and was bought by
| Philip Beezer, of this place, who is selling
"it to lovers of bear meat.
——A large she bear with three half
grown cubs walked boldly out onto the
highway near the Lamar station on Wed-
‘mesday as if they had no fear of guns or
dogs. One of the Dolan boys gave battle,
however, and took a cub as his particnlar
meas. The others escaped. -
——Turb Kramer, his brother Bob and
George Loneberger came in from a hunt in
Bush valley on Wednesday with thirty-
seven” gray squirrels. They had their
picture taken with the game all strapped
to their belts and made a sight that
many other hunters envied, sure enough,
'DEMENTED, HE TRIED TO KILL HIS
FATHER.—For several years David V. Wil-
liams, who is 31 years old, and lives with
his parents near Beech Creek, has been re-
garded as mentally unsound. He bad
never displayed any symptons of vicions-
ness; consequently he was looked upon as
altogether harmless until Monday evening,
when he made a murderous assault that
nearly had a fatal ending for his father,
Edward Williams. oa
The assault oconrred after the family
had retired. The young man secured a
hatchet and creeping stealthily to the bed-
side of his sleeping father he dealt him a
terrible blow on the head.” Fortunately the
elder Williams was not rendered uncon-
scious by it, but before he could get up to
ward off the attack the maniac struck him
again, this time with the blade of the
hatohet; causing an ugly wound.
Aroused by the outcries of the wounded
man the women of the family ran to his
rescue and with their assistance the more
than human fury of the son was conguered
and he was ejected from the homnse. Se-
curing a pitchfork he returned to the at-
tack, but in the meantime the doors and
windows - bad been securely. barricaded
against his re-entrance. When he found
himself baffled in this attempt he wander-
ed away into the woods where he spent the
night without hat, coat or shoes.
The next morning he appeared as the
home of William I. Haagen in an exhausted
condition. Under pretense of taking him to
a show that gentleman persuaded the de-
mented man to accompany him to Lock
Haven, where he was locked up pending
the action of a commission in lunacy.
Dr. McGhee, of Mill Hall, was called to
attend the injured father, who was found
to be suffering from serious wounds, as
well as internal injuries sustained in the
struggle with his son.
