BiG ScARE AT HOWARD —There was a
big sensation in the borough of Howard on
Tuesday and the residents of thas thriving
Titkle town in the Bald Eagle valley don’t
know whether to look themselves indoors
$0 insare their safety or pinch themselves
to find out if they are asleep and dreaming.
It appears that on Tuesday morning a
man who said he was a postofiice inspector
arrived in Howard and informed the post.
master that two professional oracksmen had
been traced to Howard or vicinity and shat
is very likely was their intention to rob
the postoffice that night. Later in the day
Seven strange men also arrived in Howard
who stated that they were United States
marshals and were also on she srail of she
two postoffice robbers. All the govern-
ment officials advised the postmaster nos
to leave any money or stamps in the post-
office that night and to see that she place
was well protected against burglars,
The officers also visited the First National
bank, of Howard, and informed cashier
Masthew Rogers of the circumstance, ad-
vising him to keep a goard in the bank
durivg the night, and thas be or any other
of the bank officials should not go near she
building after dark, less they he mistaken
for the burglais and probably be shot.
All these precantions having been taken
the officials were lying low ready to hag
their qaarry when shortly after dark livery-
man Joseph H. Daunkle discovered that
one of bis fastest horses as well asa buguy
and baruness had been stolen. The alarm
was given and word telephoned in every
direction but no trace of auyone could he
found aotil the next morning when the
horse and rig were tound on the road near
Beech Creek. If the men were professional
oracksmen they evidently were smart
enongh to spot the government officiale and
stealing the horse and rig drove 10 Beech
Creek aud got ont of the country on the
first train passing thas station, and before
any alarm bad been given.

ANENT THE BELLEFONTE Swixg Fac.
TORY. —Two weeks ago executions were
issaed against the Bellefonte Swing com.
pzoy and their plant and property in this
place was advertised to be eold as consta-
bles eale last Satarday. Such a condition
was precipitated by the sadden’death of
the late Thomas J. Sexton, who had prac-
tically been the head of the firm for some
months past and because of the lack of a
proper clerical force had not kept the hooks
aud affairs of the company eisher ap-to-
date or in a thorongh bosiness.like way.
Not wanting their property or their husiness
sacrificed the surviving members of the
firm interested outside hosivess men in the
matter with the resalt that au amicable
arrangement was made whereby the coredi-
tors consented to the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the property, aud accordingly
the court on Monday appointed Mr. Claude
Cook as receiver,
Mr. Cook has heen endeavoring this week
to straighten out the tangled affairs of the
company bat so far has made so little pro-
gress that is is impossible to tell what the
outcome will be. The company has a big
plant with a lot of valaahle machinery and
it it can be avoided the same should not he
sacrificed. They have weveral orders on
their books and it is the desire of the re-
ceiver to fill these as soon as possible, with
the sanction of the court. In the mean
time Mr. Cook will endeavor to get some
line on the company’s affairs so that if the
final showing warrants it, the plant can
either be operated by the old company or
disposed of to advantage to sowe one who
may wish to conduct the business.

AUTOMATIC VENTILATORS, ETC. — It
may not be generally known bat it iss
fact, nevertheless, that whas it is believed
will prove one of the bess automatio ventil-
ators ever patented or manufactured is the
invention of oor townsman, Robert F.
Hunter. Mr. Hunter spent months on
working oat the problem of an antomatio,
sell regalativg veutilator and then bad
enough of them manafactured to show
what they are compared with other anto-
matic ventilators on the market. They are
not only simpler in construction but more
effective as a ventilator and can be manu-
factared to sell at a much cheaper price
than other ventilators,
His invention haviog been broaght to
the attention of capitalists in Williamspors
a company was formed and a plant estab-
lished at Jersey Shore which will make a
specialty of manufacturing Mr. Hunter's
ventilator as well as a number of other de-
vices he has patented. For she present
the company will mannfactnre and sell
them on a royalty with ae opiion good for
two years to purchase the same outright
for the sum of five thousand dollars. This
price, of course, includes only the patent
to the ventilator aud not thas of any of
Mr. Hunter's other patents.
