When the Nittany Iron company and Pennsylvania railroad compasy jointly ig- nored the injunction issued by the court in December, 1906, and ove night last week put a force of four bundred men at work putting downs new track through the Nittany's yards, saperintendent M. IL Gardver got out another injunction and gave it to the sheriff to serve, as stated in this paper last week. When the sheriff ar- rived on the ground the man in charge show- ed a deed for the land on which they were working and claimed they had a right there. Of course sheriff Kline then did nothing sod the Pennsylvania company went ahead and built their road. The officials of the Nittany Valley rail- road company were not to be outioune in that way and they immediately applied to | the court to have the restrainiog powers of the injanction enforced. Argument was held on Wednesday morning before Judge H. A. McClure, of Union county, who bad originally granted the injunction, and he at once granted a writ of assistance, re- quiring the sheriff to keep the alleged tres- passers off the plantiff companys property. In granting the writ of assistance Judge McClare instructed the sheriff that it was his daty to see that the injanstion was en- forced. That at the time the Pennsylvania compauy had their force of men at work there it was his place to stop them. When they failed to obey the mandate of the in- junction he should have deputized enough men to have enabled him to arrest the whole crowd, or throw them in the creek if they resisted. Of course this decision not only restored the Nittany Valley railroad company all their rights and possessions but gave them the road built by the Penusylvania compa- ny on their right of way. When the an- pouncement of the decision of the court was made to the Nistany Iron company the officials in charge declared that they would be compelled to hank their furnace, as thes could vot afford to pay the demands made by the Nittany Valley railroad for tonnage charges through their own yards. Yesterday, however, it was announced that a plan bas heen made by which they can handle their material without trespass- ing in any way on the rights of the Nitta ny Valley railroad company and that the furnace will be worked as usual, os ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.—One of the most deplorable affairs that bas happened io Centre county in some time was the ac- cidental shooting of Austin Watson, the nineteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Watson, of Gum Stamp, on Wed- nesday of last week. That mormiung Mr. and Mrs. Watson de- cided to come to Bellefonte to attend the Centre county fair and wanted their son so come along. He, however, decided he would sooner spend the day bunting, and taking his gon started out in the woods. This was the last seen of him alive. When pearance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. | Harry Irvin, on Sanday and, natarally, | the parents are expecting all kind of good | for the young daughter because she timed | her arcival for the Sabhath day. i ——Mrs. Lillie G. Reeder yesterday | moved her household goods from her house on north Allegheny street to a room on the third floor of the Reyvolds building, ex-| pecting to make sale of the most of her furniture on Saturday, October 26h. —— The Grove City College eleven went up against State College on Beaver field, last Batarday afternoon, aud was defeated by she score of 46 to 0. Today State left for Ithaca, N. Y., where tomorrow she will go up agaioet the strong Cornell team. ——Jim Murray olaims to have been the moss sucoessfal hunter of the week, having brought in as his share of game Tuesday, six rabbits and one pheasant, while on the train with him were, as he said, ten expert bunters who had in all but four rabbits, ——A family reunion was held at the home of Mi. and Mrs. David Allen, near Milesbarg, last Satarday, when ten of their eleven living children, with their families, were present. A big dinner was served at noontime and the afternoon was spent iu speech-making and social inter- course. ——John Kenyon, who a number of years a.0 was mauager of she Bell tele. phone exchaoge in Philipsburg hut who was transferred to Bloomsburg, disappeared quite suddenly from that place almost two years ago and although every effort bas been made to locate his whereabouts no trace of him has yet been found. ——Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Fatton, of Port Matilda, bave been married just twenty- five years and in proper celebration of the event a pair of twins made their advent into their home quite recently. Of course twins will come once in awhile and this in itself is not so noteworthy, but the fact that this is the third pair Mr. and Mis. Patton have had, and a total of fifteen children in the twenty-five years, makes the record ove that even Roosevelt could be prond of. Twelve of the children are still living. ——The new obapel of St. John’s Re- formed ohurch will be dedicated next San- day, Ootober 20th. The morning service will be held in the church at 10:30 instead of 11 o'clock. The congregation and Sun- day sobool will unite in this service. Alter the sermon by the Rev. Thomas L. Bickel, of Philadelphia, the congregation will pro. oeed to the chapel where the dedicatory service will be beld. The evening service at 7:30 will be held in the chapel. Special musio will be rendered at both of these servioes. his patents arrived home from Bellefonte Anstin had not retarned and they knew at once that something was wrong, as he was quite punctual in returning howe. In quiries were made but no oue having seen him searching parties were at once or- ganized and search for him kept up far into the night without finding any trace of him. The father and brother of the missing they came across his body lying in what is known as Chessnut grove, in the foothills of the Alleghenies. A terribie wound in the left side of his neck and face and bis empty gon lying uvearby told the story only too plainly of accidental shooting. Just how the accident occurred will never be known, but there is nodoubt of its being an accident. Father and brother carried the body home and it was indeed a heartbroken family that received it. The funeral was held from the United Brethren church at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, interment being made in the Advent cemetery. eee TURKEYS AND RasBBis. — The wild turkey and rabbis season opened on Taes- day and the enthusiastic nimrods bad prac tically no luck at all so far as getting game was concerned. In fact the only wild sar- key brought to Bellefonte, so far as known to the writer, was brought in on Wednes- day morning by John L. Nightbart, who bagged the bird in the foot-hills of the Alleghenies back of Unionville. Last year there were about filty wild turkeys killed in this county on the opening day of the season, while thie year, so far as we can learn the total wae only three. The slangh- ter of rabbits was also far less than in any previous year. The biggest killing of bunnies oa the first day was four, while the average was only one and two. With such scarcity of game the prospects ahead of the hunters are not very favorable. .oe HosPITAL OFFICERS. —At a public meet- ing heidin the arbritation room in the court house Friday evening Dr. George F.

Weaver, formerly of this place bat now of Philadelphia, was recently ap- pointed organist and choirmaster in the First Presbyterian ohurch, Baltimore. Though yes young in years Fred is a thorough musician, having taken a course in the Peabody Institute, of Baltimore. >oe +A very slight fire ocourred on the roof of the house occupied by William Fredericks, on Quoaker hill, on Monday, and when an alarm was sent in the Belle- fonte Electric company was unable to give it, owing to the fact that they were so busy making improvements as their plant. Word was then sent to the Pennsylvania Match company and their whistle sounded the alarm, the result beiug that everybody who ooticed it at all thoughts it was the match factory and the Undine fire company ran right past the fire and oat to the match works. When they discovered their mis- take and got back to the right place the fire had heen extinguished. a New ELgcrric CoMPANY.—Last Sator- day Dr. J. G. Spangler, of Mapleton; Wal- lace Wilson and Mr. Barner,of Alexandria, aod Jobn D. Meyer, of Bellefonte, obtained a lease on the Rote mill property on Penns creek, a short distance east of Coburn. They bave already made preliminary arrange- ments for orgenizing a company to be known as the Peons Valley Electric com- pany, intending to put up a plant ou Penus creek for the purpose of furnishing electric light and power to Millheim, Cen- tre Hall,Coburn, and other town s through- ous the valley. They expect to go to work on the plant as soon as a charter can be secured and necessary arrangements made. .oe Tue First DEFENDERS. — A public meeting was held in Boaisburg last Satur- day evening to make arrangements for the entertainment of the survivors of company H, the ‘First Defenders,” at their reanion to be held there tomorrow. Theodore Boal, though not present in person, sent in a communication in which he stated that the old veterans would be his guests at the hotel daring the day. Following the din- "ner a camp fire will he held in Boal hall. Mis. Woods is at the head of the commis- tee on entertainment. On the general com- mittee of arrangements are H. B. Harrison, J. N. Dinges, Joho Hook and Rev. A. A. Black. The public in general is invited to attend and give the old Vets an enjoyable time. ——————— KILLED IN ALTOONA.—James I. Shope, a car inspector in the Pennsylvania rail- road yards at Altoona, fell trom an engine in thas place last Wednesday morning, was run over and so badly injured that he died in the Altoona hospital that same after poon. The unfortunate young mau was only twenty-one vears old. He was a son of James and Jalia Shope, and was born near Milesburg, this county, where his parents still reside. He was married less than a year ago aod is survived by bis young wife, his parents and one brother. He was a member of the Methodist church and a young man who stood high in the | estimation of all who knew him. The re- young man searched all night and the next ' morning until nearly eleven o'clock when mains were brought to the home of his parents near Mileshurg from where the funeral was held on Saturday. ms A, ANYBODY CAN Now Buy Ben TEeL- EPHONES. —For thirty years, or ever since the telephone has been introduced, the Bell telephone company bave refused to sell to the general public any of their instramerts or apparatus, but recently they decided to place them on the market so that now they can be purchased by any person desiring them. At the present time, it is stated, a great many iuvefficient instruments are in use on local and private lines, and on the many ‘‘farmer’s lines’’ established shrough- ous the country, and many of these will pow likely be replaced with the Bell in- straments. This will not only give the local lines the advantage of improved serv- ice, both local aud on toll lines, but will also give the telephone company valuable feeders and increased patronage. *oe KArRTHAUS FIRE BRICK COMPANY. —The anounal meeting of the Kartbans Fire Brick company was held in the main office at Karthaus on Wednesday of last week, eighty per cent. of the stock being represented. Walter C. Wood, of Jersey Shore,acted as secretary of the meeting and with Ambrose M. Sloteman, of this place, sales agent for the company,acted as tellers at the election of a board of directors for the ensuing year, which resulted in the se- lection of all the old members of the board. The board then elected the following of- ficers : President, B. E. Staples; vice presi- dent, W. C. Weaver ; secretary, P. L. Kuecht; treasurer, C. B. McCulloagh ; gen- eral superintendent, [ra C. Chatham. During the meeting geologist Isaac A. Harvey gave a statement of the result of his prospecting investigations for coal and fire olay. He stated that there were on the company’s lands six veins of workable coal, varving in thickness from twe to foar and one-half feet in thickness, of a quality comparable with that of any coal now on the market. He also fouud a much larger acreage of fire olay than even the most sanguine imagined located there. The re- salt is that the company finds themselves enriched by millions of tons of coal they knew nothing about and a meeting will be beld in Lock Haven next Friday to de- termine whether the coal shall be sold on a royalty basis or be mined and marketed by the company. Tae WONDERLAND OF AMERICA. —It is seldom that an opportunity such as is soon to be offered she people of Bellefonte pre- sents itself. An opportunity to learn of and see some of the most pictaresque and in- teresting spots in our land described and illustrated by a person whom we all know and one who simply narrates his personal experiences in a trip across the continent. We refer to the illustrated lecture which Rev. James B. Stein will give in the court house Thursday evening, Oct. 24th, for the benefit of the Ladies Aid Society of the Methodist church. The stereopticon ‘*Trip through the Wonderland of America,’ is not a lecture on the scenic wonders of our great country, but a pictorial reproduction of a six week's journey in 1904, covering more than S000 miles. } The 150 views are made largely from material the Rev. Stein gathered en route and were put into this form as a permanent souvenir of the trip, not for general exhi- bition purposes, but he consents to repio- duce the trip by stereopticon for the bhene- fit and pleasure of the church and commun- ity. The trip will afford a rare treat and will be interesting, entertaining and in- structive. The pictures are first-class, and the operator, Mr. Mallory, insures a good reprodnetion on the screen. The descrip tions and personal reminiscences of Rev. Stein will add interest to the illustrations. The views represent three groups of special interest in the scenic wonders of America. ‘‘The Gardea of she Gods and Colorado,” the Switzerland of America, comprising some 50 pictares, including mountains, lakes, a trip to Cripple Creek gold fields, ete. The second group, ‘‘The Grand Canyon of Arizona,” that matohless channel, a mile deep and thirteen wiles across, and highly colored. Also sceues of the great desert, the oil burning engine, the spider web bridge, the Indian Pueblo villages and the sunny land of fruits and flowers in Southern California, orange groves, rose covered cottages, palms and gardens, ostrich farms, old Mexican Mis- gions and Cataline Islands, the greatest fishing ground in the world. The third group centres about Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa grove of big trees. Views of the several great waterpots of the Yosem- ite Valley and the equally great rock for- mations of this unique little valley, the stage coach and tbe 75 mile stage trip in 12 hours. The immenke trees, the ‘‘oldest living things in the world.” Also San Francisco as is was, the snow sheds of the Sierras, Salt Lake City, the Mormon Tem- ple and Tabernacle, and the Mormon peo- ple and the salt sea near by. The Ladies Aid society will canvass for the advance sale of tickets and a fall house is anticipated. Admission: Adults cents ; children 15 cents, oe ing to all reports there were quite a nom- her of light-fingered gentry in Bellefonte last Thursday and the extremely big crowd at the Centre county fair gave them a good opportunity to ply their trade, with the result that they made a number of good haule. W. A. Dugan, mine superintendent of the Pennsylvavia Fire Brick company, was perhaps the biggest loser. He had his pockets picked of a purse containing over $600. He bad drawn the money from the bank that morning aud although he carried it around all day it was not until he was getting on the train to go home in she evening that he thinks the money was taken. Henry Johnston, of Blanchard, also bad his pocket pioked of $16 in cash and two checks for $41, though be immediately stopped payment on the latter. William I. Harvey, of Lock Haven, was touched for eight dollars while another man who don’t care to have his name mentioned was plucked of $160. All in all it was a good day for the nimble fingered fellows and as the local anthorities had no idea anything of the kind was going on until it was all over the rascals bad ample opportunity to get out of town unmolested. JacoBs FAMILY REUNION.—A renuion of the Jacobs family was beld at the home of Mr. and Mre. William Resides, in this place, last Thursday, and the gathering proved a moss enjoyable affair. The ven- erable Armstrong Jacobs, of Howard, a veteran eighty-four years of age, was the guest of honor, while Elizabeth Bateman, of Tyrone, was the youngest lineal descend- aut present. Ahout thirty people were present among the number being Mrs. Charles Goheen, of Philadelphia ; Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sauers aod son, of Altoova ; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hastings and Charles Bateman and family, of Tyrone ; Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong Jacobs, of Howard ; Dr. L. Jacobs, of Centre Hall ; Mr. and Mrs. Jobn Jacobs, of Boalsburg, and Mrs. John Leech aod family, of State College. It is the intention to make this family gathering an annual reunion io the fatare. re reer Jake From AaGaiN IN THE ToiLs. ~-Jacob From, who figured so conspicuous- ly in the Dale murder case that he was ar- rested and kept in jail for several months, is again in the toils of the law. He was arrested on Monday for stealing corn from the farm of the Gfrerer heirs, in Potter township. Just what evidence there is against Mr. From we are not informed at this writing, bat it evidently was enough to justify bis arrest. ——F. Walls Larimer has accepted the position of sales agent for the American Lime and Stone company, with headquart- ers at Tyrone. He has taken the place made vacant by the recent death of George B.
