Was Nor A BELLEFONTE GIRL.— Last
Saturday’s Pittsburg papers contained a
long account of the suicide of a young
woman who jumped into the Allegheny
river Thursday night and whose body was
identified hy Samuel M. Irwin, of Brad-
dock, as that of Rose Washburn, aged 21
years, of Bellefonte, and a cousin of Mr.
Irwin. The entire article is a canard so
far as the indentifioation of the body of the
young woman is concerned, as Miss Wash-
burn is in Bellefonte alive and well and
has been here for ‘weeks back. / When
shown the newspaper story relating to her
alleged suicide she was very much sur-
prised and declared that she had not been
in Pittsburg for weeks.
Later the body of the drowned girl was
identified by David H. Baird, a flagman
on the Pittsburg division of the Pennsyl-

daughter, Mrs. Moore, resided, and at
which place he made his home since.
Mr. Harpster was one of the kind of men

community—earnest, positive and honest.
What he believed, he believed firmly ;
what he undertook to do he did earnestly ;
whatever cause he espoused he did it with
an honesty of purpose that none could
doubt. He was sincere in every effort he
made and passed through life without doing
barm to any one and earning the respect of
all who became acquainted with him. He

ing five daughters and four sous to revere
his memory. Speaking of the funeral a

versity) the interment being in the valley
cemetery. Rev. Walter Hays conducted

of the family followed the remains to the
grave. The services were simple but im-
pressive, and a large number of floral
tributes gave mute testimony to the
esteem in which the deceased was held.’

tory exercises {oday at State College.
—-G. F. Weaver, of Penns Cave, who has figured
quite prominently in county politics, is attend-
ing institute this week because he is one of the
“old regulars.’ George has been teaching for
many years and is regarded as one of the best,
—Among the distinguished men in town last )
evening en route to State College was the Hon. 8S.
R. Dresser, of Bradford. He was bearing the
glory of his recent great victory in re-election to
Congress quite in his usual modest way.
—Miss Jennie Reifsnyder, daughter of the late
’Squire Reifsnyder, of ‘Millheim, and Miss Anna
Smith, daughter of ex-prothonotary W. F.
Smith, have been in Bellefonte this week the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McCargar while at-
tending the teachers’ institute.
—Last evening when ex-school teacher Al
Pletcher, of Howard, and Harry Leathers, of
Snow Shoe, were trying to talk us into forgot-
ing that it was time for the paper to go to press
who should step in but our old friend M. E.
Heberling, of Pine Grove Mills. “Mus” is an old
hunting companion and under ordinary condi-
tions he would be very welcome but last night
he was exceptionally so, because he was the
escort of a trio of the most charming looking of
the teachers at institute, They were Miss Nancy
Heberling, of Penna Furnace ; Miss Lydia Ray,
of Gatesburg ; and Miss Edith Buck, of Warriors-
mark. The one regretable feature of their call
was the fact that they couldn’t find time to tarry
as long as we would like to have had them stay,

AMONG THE HUNTERS.—The Panther
hunting club has completed arrangements
and will start early next Monday morning
for their annual deer hunt in the Alleghe-
nies. They will go out in the vicinity of
Merritt’s camp, in the Scootac region,
Among those who will go are Linn Me-
Ginley, R. 8. Brouse, John L. Knisely,
M. A. Jackson, Harry Gerberich, John
McGinley, Bruce Garman, Andrew Knisely,
W. L. Cassidy and others, and they confi-
dently as ever expect to bring home about
all(?) the deer that the other hunters have
left in the mountains.
The Bob Mann party from Curtin town-
ship went up into the Scootac region the
first week of the season and killed four
fine deer, but one day while the men
were out on the chase some person or per-
sons stole the two largest and the Mann
party are still swearing vengeance.
Reports from the Larry creek region,
in Sugar valley, state that notin the past
twenty-five years have deer heen so plenti-
fol. Since the opening of the hunting
season fifteen deer bave been killed within
a radius of twenty miles. Monday, of
this week, Aaron Klechner, of Loganton,
killed a 200-pound buck; W. G. Berry
brought down a four-pronger which weigh-
ed 161 pounds while Jasper Bower, Chas.
Omers and Chester and Edward Schwenk
each killed one.
A party of three Monessen nimrods whe
spent several days hunting in the moun-
tains near Woodward, passed through
Bellefonte Wednesday morning with fif-
teen pheasants, three wild ducks, three
squirrels, one rabbit, a fox, a wild turkey
and a lcon. ‘
