E. Cooke, J. L. Montgomery and employees of the match company got into a lively altercation over a line fence be- tween the Cooke property and the match company property. On Monday the match cotupany had a naw fence ereoted where the oll one stood. Tuesday morning Mr. Cooke aud a force of men went to work demolishing the fence. As fast as the fence was torn down by Cooke and his men it was rebuilt by the matoh company em- ployees under direction of Mr. Montgomery. Compliments flew around as thick as fence posts and finally the two principals bad one round of the manly art, but as neither was in training no damage was done. Finally Cooke and his men withdrew from the scene of conflict and the match com- pany put up the fence. After the affair was over a number of blood-curdling stories were iu circulation as to how the fight wae carried on with a revolver and double- hitted axe, bat this 1s likely all imaginary. | Of coarse it will now be up to the court to rain fell on Sunday night and all of Mon- | say where the line fence belongs, > ——Every resident of Bellefonte should have the interest aud welfare of the town at heart, but a fact that came to the writer's knowledge a few days ago is evi- dence that there are at least one or more cit. izens of the town who do not. In fact they are so money grasping thas they retard rath- er than foster thebuilding of industries here. The fact referred tois that of a company seeking a location for the building of a manufactory in Bellefonte. They found several available sites and going to the owner of one for prices on same were com- pletely dumbh-founded to have bim ask a sum considerably in excess of one thousand dollars an acre; & demand just as much beyond their means as it was unreasonable. On the other hand there are men here who are endowed with the kindred feeling of “live and les live” for when the second wan was approached the rental he asked a year for the entire site was so little is would not buy a workingman a good enit of clothes, As it lnoks now the new indus- try will be established in Bellefonte, and it itis, it will not be because of any in- ducement offered by the first individual referred to in this item. ——The Howard baseball team of the Centre—Clinton league last Thursday de- feated the Bellefonte Academy nive by the score of 13 to 1.
