Mr. Walker bad gone upstairs when be went home a little alter nine | o'clock but saw nothing out of the way. Between nine avd ten o'clock three differ- ent peisons had gone upstairs for a few minates at a time but did not see anybody. At ten o'clock when the family went to retire Miss Jane McCalmont missed her watch and in looking around discovered that Miss Auna Shortlidge’'s watch was | also missing. The other members of the | family were notified and a search revealed | the fact that the house had been robhed aud in addition to Miss McCalmont’s and Mies Shortlidge's watches there was miss. | ing the gun metal chatelaive watch of Mrs. | Walker, a solid gold necklace belonging to | Miss Shortlidge and several sets of gold cuff links, Inthe same box from which | the necklace was taken were three solid | gold pins which were not taken. Mrs. Walker's jewel! box in which were a num- ber of valuable rings, pins, ete., was found upset but not an article missing, which | looks as if the robbers were frightened | away helore they had time to raneack everything. In the same bureau drawer in which Mrs. Walker had her jewel box | was a chatleaine bag in which she bad a purse. This was taken out hut fortunate. ly vo money was found in it, as Mis, Walker bad transterred the contents to auother puise just a day or two previous. An investigation showed that the rob. | bers had gained an entrance to the house | by climbing up on the rear porch roof, re- moving the screen and crawling through the window into the hall. And all the time they were engaged in their pilfering | the light iv the bali ~houe as bright as day. The only trace of the robber was a black baud print on the window sill. i Oo Sunday morning seme one broke into Arthur Kimport’s house on east Curtin street, by forcing a window open in the | kitchen but they were frightened away be- fore they got ont of the kitchen by Miss Kimport, Arthur's sister, who heard the noise and went down stairs to investigate. The robbers evidently heard her approach | and fled. On Sunday evening some one hioke into Charles M. McCurdy’s house, on east Cur- | tin street, but they also were frightened away before they secured anything. As the police seem unable to cope with the sit- uation it might be advisable to load the I shot gan with buckshot and il you come | across any midnight crawlers in your own house proceed to make a good burglar out of him in the same way you'd make a good Iodian. A CLosE SHAVE. —Last Friday afternoon W. W. Gephart, superintendent of the Central Railroad of Penusylvania, volun- teered to take W. A. Moore, superinten- dent of the Nittany Iron company. to Mill | Hall in his motor car. Wishing to show | supervisor W. R. Gainsfort where he wanted some repairs made he took him along as well as James Clark, stenographer, for the purpose of taking down notes. The four left the Bellefonte station im- mediately alter the afternoon passenger train. Mr. Gephart and Mr. Gainsfort oc- cupied the seat, Mr. Moore sat in front and Mr. Clark on the rear of the car. Everything went all right uutil they reached Mackeyville. There they were close to the train as it pulled out of the station apd were going at about a thirty i mile clip when, just as they rounded a | curve within one hundred feet of a oross- | ing, a farmer drove on to the railroad track { and seeing the motor car coming stopped | his horses right on the track. Gepbhart im- { mediately threw on the reverse speed and | attempted to apply the brakes but they | wouldn't work. Seeing what be believed {an inevitable collision ahead of them he called to the balance of the party to jomp {and himself leaped from the car, James Clark following suit. Mr. Moore and Mr. Gainsfort stuck to their seats and their es- cape was little short of a miracle. When | the farmer saw the motor car approaching he naturally was so frightened he stopped | his horses right on the track and attempted to back them out of the way but the time was too short to enable him to do =o and when the frightened animals saw the car | running apparently right into them they gave one lunge backward then reared, standing almost straight up on their hind feet and in the short space of time they were in that position the motor car with its two occupants shot safely by them and | was stopped one hundred feet or so further | on hy the reverse power. Of course neither of the men who stuck to the car were in- jured in the least,ueither was James Clark, hut Superintendent Gephart jumped on a stone and twisted his aokle 20 that he has been walking with a cane ever since and at the same time explaining his crippled con- dition to his friends hy saying that he ‘‘buruped into something the other day.” In speaking of the accident Mr. Moore says it is all right for a little man to teil a big mau to jump from a machine that is running thirty miles an hour but it is an- other thing for the big man to jump, then he smiles faintly as he remarke that they i got through all right. | who are spending this week at The Willows, | started on a tour of investigation and when | They are Mr. and Mis.

Heberling, enclosing a check with which to enroll his name asa subscriber to the WATCHMAN, ‘‘because,”’ he said, ‘‘it’s a letter from home to me.” In speaking of the Centre countiane in that borough Mr. Heberliog says that D. B. Norris is now chief burgess of Juniata and is proving quite popular because he is en- forcing the ordinance regarding the keep- ing of the pavements in good repair. Jo- seph Norris, also an old Centre countian, is street commissioner and is keeping the streets in good condition David Love, formerly of Scotia, is anoth- er Centre county man who has made his home in Juniata and who was recently promoted by the Pennsylvania railroad company to foreman of their east Altoona roundhouse.
