ARRESTED ON THE CHARGE oF Mur-
| pER.—Andrew K. Kachic and Harty Wat-
| son, both of Snow Shoe township, were ar-
=== | rested last Friday and brought to Belle- |
fonte and lodged in jail on the charge of
| murdering John Kachic, at Clarence, on the
| night of September 12th, 1906. The ar-
i
| Cartuey, of Snow Shoe township, and the
. | men were brought to Bellefonte by the con-
| stable, detectives A, L. Millard, Harry
| Bauer and W. Weiss, of the Standard de-
| tective agency, of Philadelphia, avd dis-
| trict attorney W. G. Runkle.
The circumstances surrounding the death
of John Kachic have so far been shrouded
in mystery. On the evening of September
12th he was at the hotel of his cousin,
George Kachic, at Clarence. Andrew
Kachic, who is a brother of George, and
therefore a cousin of the murdered man,
and Harry Watson were also at the hotel.
Abont eight o'clock John Kachic left the
hotel to go to his home which was not over
a third of a mile distant. Andrew Kachic
and Harry Watson left the hotel a shore
| time after John Kachic. The latter failed
| to reach home and the next morning his
| mangled body was found lying alongside
| the New York Central railroad tracks a
| short distance from the Clarence station,
Naturally it was supposed that he bad
been struck by a passing freight train and
killed. Coroner P. 8. Fisher was notified
and accompanied by district attorney W.
G. Raokle went to Clarence on Friday and
Leld an inguest over the body. The start-
ling discovery was then made that the man
had undonbtedly heen murdered as two or
more stilleto thrusts were found in the
neck, one of which almost severed the jog-
ular vein. The body was evidently placed
on the railroad track after the man was
dead in the bope that it would be #0 man-
gled by a passing train that all evidences of
the crime that bad been committed woald
be destroyed.
All efforts of the local authorities to dis-
cover the murderer or murderers proved
unavailing and finally the Standard de-
tective agency was asked to take the cave.
They did so and on the 220d of November
last sent W. Weiss into that locality. He
went there made up as a Hebrew peddler
and gave the name of John Decker. His
stock in trade consisted of divers small no-
tions which be peddled out amoug the
miners and their families. He got dinner
at George Kachic's hotel and in the afrer-
noon visited aunnmber of places, among
them the home of Andrew Kachic. Decker
remained at Clarence some time on the
plea of recuperating from a spell of sick-
ness abd as be speaks the Slavish language
soon made friends with most of the for-
eiguers, whom he visited in their homes
and whileat work in the mines. Later he
announced that his cousin wanted to em-
bark in the mercantile business in Clarence
and he went so far as to rent a room and
engage clerks, but of coarse the store was
never started.
Just what information the man gleaned
is not known as the anthorities have so far
kept everything pretty much to themselves,
but it ie alleged by those in a position to
know that the detective learned the fact
that there had been trouble between John
Kachic and his cousin Andrew and Harry
Watson over a fight they had had some
time previous while working in the Kelly
mine, where they were all employed, and
that Andrew Kachic had several times
threatened what he wounld do to John. It
has also heen rumored that a woman will
figure iv the ease.
Having secured all the information pos-
sible Weiss reported to chief Millard and
the latter with Harry Bauer and district
attorney W. G. Runkle went to Snow Shoe
last Friday and had coostable McCartney
make the arrests. Kachie was found at
bome and Watson was arrested while at

NorHING NEW 1% THE GRAY Case—Up
to the time the WARCHMAN goes to press
there is nothing new in the case of the as-
sanit on Miss Irene King Gray, of Fair-
brook. In [aocs, sinee the arrest of she balf-
breed, Robert Burrell, at Lewistown, last
week, and his snbsegnent discharge in this
place beeaunse he did not in anyways pear
answer the description of the man, the case
seems to have been dropped to a certain
extent. Not that the amthorities have
abated one whit their vigilance to detect
and bring to proper punishment the crim-
‘inal guilty of committing the dastardly
erie, but the excitement ereated at the
time the assault was committed bas prac-
tically died out and the people as large of
ly given up looking for the man. That he
may yet be detected and brought to justice,
is the hope of every good eitizen, and the
proper authorities have not relaxed their
vigilance one particle.
FORESTRY AT “Ssame.”— Dr. B. B
Fernow, who has been elected professor of
forestry in the Echeol ol Agriculture and
Experiment Station of The Pennsylvania
State College, will be in State College on

estry during the second semester. A gen.
eral course in forestry will be offered, open
to all students in the College who may be
able to elect it and also lor students who
wish to specialize in forestry.
Professor Fernow is the highest exponent

an inspiring teacher. He was formerly

Tuss+ey mountain, at State College and even
in Bellefonte being awakened by what they
believed to be an earthquake bat which af-
terwards was supposed to be the shock
from the explosion of G. RK. Macabee's
powder plant at Horrell station, in Blair

was an earthquake and wot the foree of
powder’s explosion. They explain their
insistence in the matter by stating that
they felt three very distines shocks where-

explosion iteell would break windows in
Centre county when it was hardly noticed
iv Altoona and other nearby towns,
