Crossing the bridge over Spring creck they turned around to go back up the street.

Neither of the girls were hurt. Jaco Froy AND His SoN JAMES AR- RESTED ON THE CHARGE oF HAVING Snort JosiaH DALE.—Just when most people had begun to think that the case had been dropped the authorities sprung a surprise and created quite a sensation by arresting Jacob From and his son James, of Centre Hall, as suspects on the charge of having shot and killed Josiah Dale on the evening of November 12th. The particulars are yet fresh in the minds of all readers of the WATCHMAN. Mr. Dale had been to his farm on the top of Nittany mountain busking corn on Mon- day, November 12th. That evening be left the farm house about 6.30 o'clock in a top buggy to drive to Centre Hall. Mrs. Moyer, wife of Andrew Moyer, who was the tenant on the Dale farm, is the last known person who saw bim alive. When he did not arrive home on time and had not returned at close to nine o'clock Mrs. Dale became alarmed aud summoned some of her neighbors, among whom was ex- sheriff Cyrus Brungart. They secured lau- terns and started on a search. Going first to the barn they saw the horse and buggy coming down the alley. The faithfal ani- mal wens to the barn and it was then dis- covered that Mr. Dale’s lifeless body was banging over the dash board. At first it was thought his death the result of nat- ural causes and it was only after he bad been carried into the house and an exam- ination made that it was discovered he was the victim of a most foul and cowardly murder. That he had been shot in the back by some party nnknown and that the person who did the deed bad fired at very close range. Naturally every effort was at once put forth by the authorities to discover some trace or clue to the identity of the marder- er or murderers, but aside from she card- board wad used in the cartridge, which was found in the back part of the buggy box, and which showed that the weapon used bad been a No. 10 gauge shot-gun, not auother clue could be obtained. Fi- nally the county commissioners decided to emplcy outside assistance and A. L. Mil. lard, chief of the Standard detective agen- cy, of Philadelphia, was sent for and ar- rangements made to go to work on the case. Before the twentieth of November there were two detectives on the ground and they remained there continuously for three weeks or a month before it was learned that anybody was working on the case. A nnmber of persons were under suspicion aud by ingratiating themselves into the good graces of everybody the detectives sought to obtain some clue that would at least give them a start. What they leain- ed at that time and since has, of course, not been made public. The two men who were on the case first were finally with drawn and Mr. Millard himself went to work on it. After carefully considering every feature of the case he last week felt that he would be justified in arresting Mr. From aud his son. Accordingly early Friday morning he went to Centre Hall and leisurely proceed- ed to the From home. There he found Mr. From doing the family washing. Mr. From was apparently ill at ease but Mr. Millard appeared to take no notice of this fact bat questioned him about his neigh- bors and whether they did much gossiping. Finally be asked if Jim was at home and Mr. From said he was not but was ata downtown store. Millard made a few more casual remarks then left and proceed- ed down town. He found Jim in a store and called him ous. After talking with him a few minutes Millard told him he would like to see his gun. The young man at once flared up and swore he could not see his gun under any circumstances. Millard kept his temper and argued with bim calmly for a few minutes when James consented to go along home and get the gon and show it to him. When the two returned to the house Mr. From flew into a rage and ordered the detective off his prem- ises. Millard quite naturally did not go but instead argued with him and tried to show him how foolish were his actions, fivally proposing that they all go down to the ’squire’s office where the two men should make depositious as to where they were the evening Dale was killed. After some persuasion they agreed to do 80 though Mr. From wanted the other two to go ahead and he would follow later. This, of course, Millaid refused todo and the consequence was the three went to the of- fice of W. B. Mingle where Millard asked Jim if be would swear the gun then in his bands was his and that it had not been out of their possestion on the day or night of the murder. Jim unhesitatingly made the required affidavit, then Millard told them that they would both have to come along with him to Bellefonte. They were very much crestfallen and taken aback, acousing the detetive of tricking them into bis hands and at the same time maintaining their in- nocence. Warrants for their arrest were duly made out and served and when a car- riage had been secured Millard told them be had another unpleasant duty to perform aod drew his baodounfls from his pocket. Mr. From submitted with bad grace bat his son declared tbat he would not be handouffed and it was only after the detec- tive threatened to use force that the young man sulienly submitted. About this time a local photographer appeared on the scene and tried to take a svap-shot of the two men but they threw their coats over their heads and frostrated all attempts to get a picture of them. They were brought to Bellefonte at noontime on Friday and lodged in jail, after both nudergoing a thorough search at the hands of the deputy sheriff. Nothing but a few keys were found in their pookets. Both men were looked in steel cells, the father at one end of the corridor and the son at the other, go that they have no pos- sible means of communication. When locked up Mr. From oried and bewailed his arrest and incarceration very much, hut his son only appeared morosely quiet.

In the absence of district attorney W. G. Runkle, who was confined to the house with sickness, the case was conducted for the Common- wealth by James A. B. Miller and Bower, Gettig & Zerby while N. B. Spangler was attorney for the defense. The first witness called was Mrs. Joseph Auman, mother of the dead boy, who testified to his having been shot and dying the same evening as the resuls thereof. Samuel M. Campbe:l, of Millheim, the undertaker, testified to having prepared the body for burial. He found many shot in the boy’s right arm, breast and face as well as bruises on bie body. He extracted some of the shot, which were shown to the court and jury. He also identifiel the clothing worn by the boy at the time he was shot. Joseph Auman, father of the hoy, testi: fied that he conuted ninety-seven shot marks on the boy. He also described the chestnut tree on which the boy was when shot as being about twenty inches in diam- eter at the stump. It had not many limbs, The boy was on a branch about twenty feet from the ground when the shot was fired. Dr. G. 8. Frank, of Millheim, testified to baviog been called to attend the boy. He counted ninety-seven shot marks and from the course they took the man who fired the shot must bave been only about fifteen or twenty feet away from the tree. He stated that it was his opinion that the direct cause of death was the shock of the boy falling out of the tree.

Mr. Masser is one of the eflicient school directors in Boggs township and every employee in this office unites in assuring him that his apples are just as delicious as he is big-hearted-and to express that properly is beyond the limit of our widest verbiage. A — [ast Satarday evening about thirty members of his congregation gave Rev. and Mrs. John Victor Royer, of Altoona, a sur- prise party in the shape of a handsome do- nation.

Royer's many friends in Centrecounty will be glad to learn that his laborsin the Mas- ter's vineyard are thus appreciated by his parishioners. > ——[n less than two weeks, or on Wed- neaday, March 20th, the anoual Central Pennsylvania conference of the M.

Quitea number of Metho- dists of Bellefonte will spend at least some time during the week in attending the conference. ee -——OQOn the first of April Mrs. L. T.

Pray, who bas just re- sigoed a position in the Bellefonte public sohools to accept a similar one in the schools of Philipsburg, waa the object of an unkiod and uwarranted fling in the News of last Friday. The News intimates that Mr. Pray was unable to control his schol- ars when the exact opposite is the truth. It isa matter of general knowledge here that when Mr. Pray was put in charge of one of our echools it was practically uncontrollable. In a surprisingly short time he bad it in complete subjection and ioculoated ideals of behavior that have re- sulted in making it almost the model school in our system. His work in the North ward echool has been quite effi cient and if the truth has been told the High school instructor last fall was purely any reflections, whatever, on Mr. Pray, whose resignation was entirely voluntary and whose work here was more than satis. factory. writer the reason that he was not madea because he was needed so badly in the North ward building. In the light of these facte it is an injustice for the News to cast Coroner P. 8. Fisher testified to having held au inquest over the remains and thas it was his opinion that death was the re- sult of concussion of the brain cansed by the shock and fall. T. B. Motz, W. M. Grove, Henry Soave- ly, James Auman and 8. G. Rote gave evi- dence bearing on the location of the tree and where the man who shot the boy must bave been standing. After offering a little more evidence of a minor nature the Com- mounwenlth rested. N. B. Spangler opened the case for the defense and the first witness called was Peter Rider, the defendant. His testi- mony was simply a repetition of the story he told when arrested, which was publish- ed in fall in the WATCHMAN at that time. He admitted having fired the fatal shot, but protested that be did not see the boy in the tree, that his eyesight was defective and is was difflcalt for him to distinguish objects at that distance, especially when in the top of a leafy chestnut tree. Dr. R. G. H. Hayes testified to having made an examination of Mr. Rider's eyes and that he found the right one defective. A large number of witnesses were oalled who testified to the good character of the defendant and that he had always been considered a most careful hunter in the woods. The Commonwealth did not offer any evidence in rebuttal and argument was made in the case Friday afternoon by N. B. Spangler forthe defense and W. D. Zerby for the Commonwealth. The court charged the jury Saturday morning and it took them only one hoar to arrive at their verdict of not guilty. Rider was discharg- ed and left for his home Saturday alter. noon.

PETER RIDER ACQUITTED. ——In just | SELLERS—BRICKER.—A pret’ wedding THE CHEMICAL LIME COMPANY TO BE A New BELLEFONTE INDUSTRY.—For a number of years past the lime industry around Bellefonte has been not only a big | one, bat a constantly growing one, as well, and business men are not slow tosee that as the years come and go it will continue to increase. Hence it is no wonder that a number of Bellefonte and Centre county business men, namely : John 8. Walker, A. C. Mingle, John Olewine, The Allison Bros. and Andrew MoNitt have purchas- ed the property of the late Charles Witmer, up Buffalo ran aud intend to open up ex- tensive lime quarries there. They have organized a company to be known as the Chemical Lime company and assach have applied for a charter. Just as soon as that is secured work will be be- gun on the developing of the property and opening up of quarries. The company will be capitalized at $100,000, and it is the in- tention to build a battery of ten large kilns. Of course it will possibly take a year to complete all the kilos but as fast as one is finished it will be fired up and put in commission. A grinder will be pat up ae one of the first things and as soon as they get fairly started a crusher will also be built. This will enable the company to use up every bit of offal from the quarries, 80 that nothing will go to waste. The tract of land contains seventy-five acres and lies at the foot of Bald Eagle mountain extending west from the Humes farm quarries of the American Lime and Stone company. It is all underlaid with a No. 1 vein of limestone and the members of the new company estimate that at the capacity they expect to operate there will be enough stone on the land to run them fifty years or more. It bas long been known that the Witmer tract was a valuable one on account of the limestone on it. In fact Mr. Charles Wit- mer, before his death, made it a part of his will that the land should not be sold for less than $31,000. For a number of years the American Lime and Stone company bas been trying to buy the land bat the Witmers, children of Charles Witmer, de- ceased, have always had more or less aver- sion to corporations, and regarding the American Lime and Stone company a cor- poration they declined to sell to them. Six months or more ago the above men formulated their plans and went quietly to work in an endeavor to secure the proper- ty, which they finally did only a week or 80 ago ; and it was not until after they had the papers all signed that the matter be- came public. The price paid for the prop- erty was $25,000, which amount was paid the heirs on Tuesday. It is just possible that Roberts F. Hunter will become the superintendent of the new company, as he now has under considera- tion an offer made bim by the men who compose the same. If he does soit will mean that they will have at the head of the in dustry a man with such aggressiveness and push that success will be assured from the beginning. The officers of the new company are A. C. Mingle, president; John I. Olewine, vice president, and John 8. Walker, secre- tary and treasurer. ——— ——Charles A.
