SRR FURTHER PARTICULARS ON THRE As- | SAULT oF Miss Inexe KiNG GRrAY.— Last week the WarcHMAN exclusively | gave a brief account of a most bratal as. | sault baving been committed on Miss Irene | King Gray, the eighteen-year old dauvhter | of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Gray, at their | home at Fairbrook station some time ou | Thursday afternoon, but as the news was | received at a late hour it was impossible to | give particulars. i The Grays live on what is known as the | old Erb farm at Fairbrook, now the prop- erty of Isaac Miller, of Bellefonte. As stated last week, Miss Gray was at home alone, Mr. and Mis. Gray having gone to Pine Grove Mills to see Mr. Gray's sick mother. According to the story of the girl alter she regained conscionsness, it was about one o'clock when she was in the kitchen washing her dinner dishes. The door was opened and a big barly negro en- tered without any formality. He asked [or something to eat and Miss Gray told him she had nothing prepared. He then said to her that she was alone, but she told him she was not, that her father was outside and she would call him. “Oh, no he ain't.” | said the man, ‘‘because I saw him and | your mother drive away some time ago.’ Ey that time Miss Gray was thoroughly frightened and started for the door. The | negro attempted to intercept her and evi- dently fearing she woald get out and away from him, he grabbed the griddle-lifter from the stove and struck her a biow over the head just as she gos the door open. The blow was a bard one and Miss Gray fell unconscious on the porch. The man then bound ber bands and gagged her month with some old, dirty rags. At this point be evidently became frightened and fled as there was nothing to indicate any farther assault upon the girl. The girl lay on the porch unconscious until the return of the Gray children from school who found her there. Mr. and Mrs. | Gray returned about the same time and the girl being released from her bonds and gag every effort was made to revive her hat without success. It was two miles to the nearest telephone and naturally sook some time to get there and summon a doe- tor and also get word to the authorities as to what had happened. It was late that evening when the girl regained counscions- ness sufficient to tell the story of her as- sault and give a description of the negro, which was as followe : A man about five feet six inches in height, heavy set and would weigh about 170 pounds. Wore a black derby bat, black coat and grey pants, the latter very muddy. Had a thin black mustache and was about forty years of age. Thas sawe evening a Mr. Bumgaiduoer, a horse dealer from Stone valley, while on hie way from Oak Hall to Pine Grove Mills, passed a colored man on the road who an- swered in every way the description given by the girl of her assanlter. He was going in the direction of Oak Hall. As soon as district attorney W. G. Ran- kle was notified of the occurrence he went to work and telephoued all over the couu- ty and to surronuding counties, giving a description of the man and telling the an- thorities to be on the lookout for him. Scores of men searched the southern part of the county all that night and the next day without finding any forther trace of the man. On Saturday the county commis: siovers offered a reward of two hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of the right party and the authorities feel confi- dent of running the man to earth. Itis the general belief that the man spent Wednesday night in Gray’s barn and that he saw Miss Gray when she was out at the barn doing the milking in the morn- ing. That he bad no opportunity to get away without being seen until Mr. and Mrs. Gray left for Pine Grove Mills and that then, knowing Mies Gray was at home unprotected, he formed his diabolical plan of assault, trusting to escapeas he did be- cause of the close proximity of the woods to the Gray home. Though Miss Gray's coudition was bad all day Friday she is now so much improv- ed that ber complete recovery is assured. It was at first feared that the blow on the bead bad fractured the skull bone, but aside from a badly lacerated scalp, no oth- er serions consequences were sustained. The shock to her nervous system is the worst part of her condition at present, bus even in this there is considerable improve- ment. ONE SUSPECT PROVED WRONG MAN. On Monday the sheriff of Mifflin county arrested a colored man as Lewistown and at once telephoned the authorities here that be thought he bad the right man. He was told to hold the man over night and to bring him to Milroy on Tuesday afternoon where he would be met by some of the Centre county officials. Consequently on Taesday morning sheriff Henry Kline with R. B. Montgomery and James Corl left for Milroy and that evening brought the man back and landed him in the Centre county jail. The man gave his name as Robert Burrell and stated that he was innodent. That be had never been in Centre county in bis life and bad just landed in Lewis- town from New York when he was arrest- ed. That he left New York only a day or two ago, and therefore could not have been here lass Thursday. Barrell ie not a full-blooded negro buta ball-breed—Indian and African mixed. He said he was born in Indian Territory and told many things which bore out the truth of his story. However, the authorities were not going to run any risk and so on Wednesday morning bad Miss Gray brought to Bellefonte and taken to the jail tosee Barrell. As soon as she saw him she stated that he was not the man. He 1 was therefore discharged and a number of him a ticket to Tyrone, and he left town the same day. Ever sioce the crime was committed last Thursday there has been a suspicion in the minds of many that the assault was the work of some negro from Scotia. Inquiry revealed the fact that Harry Delige was working in the woods not very far from the Gray home and that he was staying alone in a cabin. His description also tai- lied somewhat with that given of Miss Gray's assanlter. Thereforein the interest of justice Col. H. 8. Taylor and John Traffo1d left here on Wednesday afternoon armed with a warrant for Delige’s arrest. They drove to Scotia and there learned the man’s whereabouts and were also informed that his brother bad gone out to his cabin that morning and, as everybody in Scotia thought Delige the guilty party, they nat- urally concluded that his brother had gone to warn him to run away. Trafford were also cautioned to be on the alert as Delige was a bad man. They started for his place in the woods but bad not gone far when they met his brother coming back from the cabin. They halted him and compelled him to go along ‘and show them where his brother was. He { did so and when they got there they fonnd Delige standing in the woods, about one Lundred feet from Lis cabin and with a re- volver in his hand. Col. Taslor called to him and told him he bad a warrant for his arrest and advised him to surrender peace- ably. Delige merely laughed aud, stating that he knew both Taylor and Trafford and that be also knew what they were after walked right up to them and gave himself up. They searched his cabin and found a black coat and gray trousers bat no derby bat, though be had a black soft bat. At Taylor's request he willingly changed bis [clothes and was tien taken to the Gray { home to face the girl he was supposed to have assaulted. When brought before Miss Gray she said immediately that he was not the man and of course be was let go at once. The aathorities, however, still have an- other .oan under suspicion who they are looking for and would like to get hold of, but since the crime has been committed they bave heen unable to find him. They hope, however, to locate him soon. oe ——Rev. C. T. Aiken, of Selinsgrove, Sooday, morning and evening. tr ———Messts. A. C. Mingle, Robert F. Hunter, DeLaun Stewart, John Olewine, John 8. Walker, C. Y. Wagner and Archi- bald Allison composed the crowd of Belle- fonte enthusiasts who took in the automo- bile show at Philadelphia the past week. Of course the most of them were mere sight-seers, though one or two of them had an eye on something good to purchase. et ———Just two weeks from next Sunday, or on January 27th, the first eclipse of the year 1907 will ocour. It will be a partial eclipse of the moon and will be partly vis- ible in the United States. On July 24th there will be another partial eclipse of the moon, also visible in the United States. There will be two eclipses of the sun dur- ing the year bot they will both be invisi- ble in this country. —Mr. and Mrs. William Clarke, of Houtzdale, recently celebrated their golden wedding amid a gathering of over one hnn- dred relatives and friends. The interesting fact about the event to WATCHMAN read- ers is that Mrs. Clarke is a native of Centre county, baving been born in Unionville. Her maiden name was Mise Mary Caraber. Mr. Clarke is one of tha old-timers, having in his early life heen a boatman on the Juniata canal and later drove a stage from Tyrone to Clearfield. ——— ——In last week's WATCHMAN were mentioned a number of appointments at State College from the burean of soils, at Washington, D. C. In addition to those mentioned C. F. Shaw has been appointed instructor in agronomy and will teach soils, farm crops and rural engineering to both the short course and regular students in ag- ricalture. J. H. Barrow bas been ap- pointed an assistant in experimental agron- omy and will give particular attention to the improvement of farm crops. ————— lf em— ——— Last Thursday the deai was closed whereby Fred Mosebarger, of this place, became the purchaser of the Commercial hotel, Eighth avenue aud Ninth and Tenth streets, Altoona, from the former proprie- tor, Jerry J. Kelly. The consideration bas not yet been made public. Mr. Mose- barger moved bis family to Altoona yes- terday aod will assume charge tomor- row or Monday, and we can recom- wend him to the people of Altoona as not only a good hotel man but a most genial gentleman in every way. For several years be ran the Haag house in this place and at all times kept a good hotel. In his new venture we wish him every kind of sncoess. ~——Rev. Jobn A. Wood Jr., still basa warm spot in his heart for the people of Bellefonte. Living as he does in the land of oranges and flowers he evidently realizes how either one would be appreciated by bis old friends here, hence he last. week sent Mr. C. C. Shuey a whole box of oranges fresh from the trees. It was received on Tuesday morning and Mr. Shuey took es- pecial pride in showing the fruit to his friends. Incidentally we might add that the box was about three inches long by about an inch and a half wide and deep and that it came by mail. It contained about filteen oranges ranging in size from a hickory nut down to a big pea. Small as the oranges were, however, Mr. Shuey informed us shat they tasted like the real fruit, as he ate one just to find ont. | men contributed enough money to bay Taylor and H. 8. TAvLor ELgcTED COLONEL OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT.—At a meeting of the line officers of the Fifth regiment held at the Logan house in Altoona at 1.30 o’clock yesterday afternoon lieutenant col- onel H. 8. Taylor, of this place, was unan- imously elected colonel of the Fifth regi- ment, National Guard of Pennsylvania, to succeed Col. Rofus C. Elder, recently re- sigoed. The election of Col. Taylor isa deserved promotion, as there is not a man in the entire National Goard who has served the State with more fidelity than Col. Taylor. He joined the Guard as a private about twenty years ago when he enlisted in company B and has come up from the ranks through every degree of non commissioned and commissioned offi- cer to that of his present rank. That un- der his coloneley the Fifth regimen: will be kept up to its present high rating of effi- ciency goes without saying. Capt. George T. Crede, Jof Blairsville, | was elected lieutenant colonel. {| Col. Taylor's election of course brings the beadquarters of the regimens to Delle | fonte, and will also result in almost an en- | tirely new colonel’s staff. Though the colonel has not yet complet. ed his list of appointments he has decided on some and, naturally, a number of Bellefonters will be given honors. Both Dr. M. J. Locke and Dr. R. G. H. Hayes will be retained on the staff, the former as commissary captain and the latter as major gurgeon. Rebert F. Hunter has been ap- Pointed adjutant, Clande Smith sergeant major and Harry J. Jackson regimental clerk. It is also the purpose of the eolone! to | twelve fifers and four drammere, and this | will be located at Mileshurg with Toner A. | Hugg in charge. A bugle corps will hea new thing for the Fifth regiment as it has never had one before. Of course the Fifth regiment hand, of Clearfield, will also be retained on the roll. | For THE BELLEFONTE | Last week we mentioned the fact that the | American Lime aod Stone company had presented the Bellefonte hospital with a check for one hundred dollars whieh would | be applied to the fund for the building of ! the nsw annex. Since that time the hos- pital authorities have received the follow. : ing: will preach in the Lutheran church on | From Mrs. A. W. Norris, $50.00; Col. J. P. Coburn, $25.00; Centre Hall Auxiliary, $7.00; Dr. H. P. Armshy, $4.50; Howard | union services, $1.82; Mileshurg union | services, $2.45, or a total of $190.77. While this amount is small in comparison with the sum required for the building and for- nishing of the annex yet it is very thank- folly received and the same spirit shat prompted the contribution of the above, it is hoped, will move others to give, accord- ing as they can, toward this most worthy institution. The Pennsylvania Legislature is now in session and the hospital authorities will naturally ask for an appropriation to which it is believed the hospital is entitled. In order to get a just and adequate, appropri- ation the people of the town and county must continue to manifest au inclination to help in the work of constructing a new buildivg, one sufficiently large to meet the demands made upon it by this commanity. The hospital authorities, that is the officers and board of directors receive no compensa. tion for their services or efforts in behalf of the institution, but give their time and their work for the benefit of the canse of suffering bumagity. For this reason oth- ers who are able and can afford to do so should contribute to the fund for a new building. And now is the proper time to do it. iii STRUCK BY TRAIN AT LINDEN HALL.— Taesday morning as Mrs. Henry Houtz and little daughter attempted to drive across the Lewishurg and Tyrone railroad at Linden Hall their vehicle was strack by the train coming to Bellefonte, the two were thrown out and to the side of the road and Mrs. Houtz considerably injared, though no hones were broken. The horse they were driving bad three legs broken and had to be killed while the buggy was literally ground to kindling wood. The little girl escaped unhurt with the excep- tion of a flew bruises and the miiaculous part of the accident is that both Mus, Houtz and her daughter were not killed, The accident happened on the orossing at Weiland’s etore. The store building stands right on the corner of the road and the railroad right-of-way aud not twenty feet from the track. Mrs. Houtz was driv- fog down the road from Nittany moun: tain and her vision of the railroad was thus obscured by the store, stable and other outbuildings until she was too close to the track to stop. The train was also too close for the engineer to stop and the engine struck the rear part of the horse aud the buggy fall. Fortunately for the occupants they were thrown clear of the track and thus escaped being ground to pieces. RE hh —— TEMPERANCE SAFEGUARDS. —The Safe- guard Temperance club was organized in the High school room on New Year's day with upwards of ove hundred members— young men and boys of the town.

The company is yet in what might he termed the embryonic state, It wae organized and started about a year ago for the manufacture of the buttonless sus- pender, which is a patent of a Mr. Hyde, of Bloomsburg, who, with Judson P. Welsh, vice president of The Pennsylvania State College, are members of the company and will retain their interest. Although it has only been in operation one year the husi- ness done by the company last year was big enough to show that the battonless sus- pender is a good article and will doubt- less prove a very profitable ove in the fa- ture, so that the location of the plant in Bellefonte may mean a big industry in a i few years. mai eres A Lovan TEMPERANCE LEGION.— | Toere will be a Loyal Temperance Legion organized nnder the andpices of the Wo mea’s Christian Temperance Union, on { Saturday afternoon, January 12h, at three | o'clock, in Petriken ball.
