CENTRE COUNTAIN SHOT AND KILLED
IN CANTON, OHIO.— Francie Heberling,
son of Stuart Heberling, of Jaoiata, was
shot and almost instantly killed in Canton,
ling was employed at the Canningham tin-
plate works in thas town, under his uncle,
James Sharpe. The partionlars are some-
what meagre in regard to the shooting bus
from what facts have heen learned it ap-
pears that the youog man bad been down
town and was ou his way home to his
uncle's honse. He was compelled to make
a street oar transfer while in she Italian
settlement and at the time it unfortunately
happened thas there was a fight on among
the foreigners. Whether Heberling was
mistaken for one of their own countrymen,
or whether the bullet was intended for
another bas not yet been disclosed, but
just as he stepped from the street car a shot
was fired and be fell to the street, the bul.
let having pierced his heart and death
being almost iostantanecns. He was
identified by letters and cards he carried in
his pookets.
Francis Heberling was born at Scotia,
this county, January 4th, 1891, hence was
18 years, 5 monthe and 8 days old. He
was a son of Stoart and Amelia Heberling
and a member of one of the oldest and best
known families of Ferguson township. Six
years ago he with his parents moved to
Joniata and there he finished his edunca-
§ion. He was a member of the Young
Men's Christian Association, a young man
of good babits and popular with all who
knew him. In addition to his parents he

Dorr's Ice PLANT. —William Doll, the
baker aud ice cream manufacturer, has an
ice plant that so lar is nota very nice plant,
at that. It was installed several weeks ago
and when he came to operate it, he cone
cluded he didn't know enongh about ice
plants to tackle the job, so he went to State
College, where they teach most everything,
by the way; and spent several days acquir-
ing knowledge by watching the operation
of the ice plans at that place.
He returned about the middle of last
week and got everything in shape to start
his plant. He started is, but didn’t ran it
very long for two reasons. One was that
his engine is not powerlul enough and the
othor was that several leaks were found in
the pipes through which the ammonia eked
away. Mr. Doll then sent to the factory
for a man to come on and put is in renning
order, as guaranteed, and in the meantime
he is getting his ice elsewhere.
Kiurep IN HARRISBURG.—On Thurs.
day pight of last week Wm. J. Bottomfield,
ason of Wm. P. Bottomfield, of Philips-
burg, was killed by the train in the railroad
yards as Harrisburg, his body being badly
mutilated. It was at first thought be
might bave met with foul play but she fact
that none of his personal effects were mise
ing disproved that theory. He was about
twenty-four years old and was a brother of
Joe Bottomfield, who at one time worked
for F. E. Naginey, in this place. The re-
mains were taken to Saxton for interment.

seems to be abead of all the rest of the
harry ap fellows in this live hereaboute.
On Taesday last he had bis first cooking of
the season out of his own patoh, and we
doubts if there is anyone else around who
can.come within ten days of this record.
Whatever the record as to time may be,
however, we'll wager a mess of last years
tahers that there is no potato grower in the
whole country who has had less backaches
or fever blisters on his haods from his ef-
forts to grow them early and good shan she

course when anybody from Bellefonte goes
out to the Buckeye State and happens
along ip the neighborhood of Dayton he
will oowistakably make for MoMillen's
chop house, especially if be is bangry. The
only thing he ought to have as an addi-
ton to his bill of fare is a lot of Bellefonte
water, carhonated, of course, and then he

——The fact that the court house is so be
remodeled and may not be finished by that
time is one of the reasons now given why
the next Centre county teachers’ institute
may be held at State College. There at one
time was a possibility of the institute be-
ing beld at the college bus the college peo-
ple do not want it now, inasmuch as it
comes on the same week in which the an-
nual meeting of the State Grange and Far-
mer’s week will be held at the college and
the two gatherings will be more shan shey
can take care of at one time. Therefore is
will be held in Bellefonte and if she cours
house is not in shape another room will be
secured, probably the ball in the new High
school building.

———On Tuesday county treasurer G. G.
Fink took the county commissioners and
their two clerks down to Ceader’s and very
graciously treated them to ice oream and,
as the day was warm and the oream cold
the officials all evjoyed it and all the way
back to their office in she court house
smacked their lips over how good it tasted.
But when they got hack instead of funding
their office doors open they were shut and
barricaded. Naturally it was a climb in
the window for some one and what a sight
the offices presented. They looked as if
struck with a wild west oyclone. Every
desk was upturned and piled against the
doors and books and papers scattered
around promiscuously. If the ice cream
bad not melted by that time it did not
take is long to do it then, for the commis-
sioners got very hot and the air was filled
‘with brimstone for a half hour. Of coarse
nobody knows who perpetrated the joke
but in the future the treasurer and ocom-
missioners will either take the whole court
established from the Stormstown postoffice |
