observing its usua! holiday hours. The cently closed a deal for the purchase of a eat and they always fulfill their promises formerly Company B, was held in the ar-
1910,
near Linden Hall, last Wednesday even- | ness places kept open. The banks were turning in his Oldsmobile roadster as part
ing shot himself twice with a revolver,
but because of his poor aim or i
as to the exact location of his heart he is
alive today and has good chances of full
recovery.
Young Weaver, according to the best
information obtainable, had that day or
the day previous returned from a trip to
Bellefonte and Lock Haven. He ask
his father for some money but the r
Weaver declined to give it to him where-
upon the son threatened that if he did
not, he would kill himself. Mr. Weaver
took no stock in the threats of his son
and shortly after supper the young man
went upstairs and a few minutes later
the family were horror-stricken to on
the report of a revolver in the 's
room. They ran up stairs and found the
door locked but forced an entrance.
Young Weaver was found unharmed, he
evidently having fired the shot out of the
window and for the purpose of frighten-
ing his father into giving him the money
asked for.
When Mr. Weaver attempted to take
the revolver, it is alleged the son threat-
ened to shoot him. About fifteen min-
utes after eight the young man came
down stairs and went out into the yard
and almost immediately thereafter two
shots were fired in rapid succession and
when the family ran outside they found
Edward lying in the snow, though still
conscious. He was carried into the house
and a physician hastily summoned who,
upon examination, found that both bails
had penetrated the left side about an
inch apart and below the heart.
At first it was hard to determine just
how dangerous were the wounds inflict
ed and no attempt was made to find the
bullets until Friday when they were easi-
ly located and safely extracted, having
failed to penetrate any vital spot. The
young man recovered from the shock so
rapidly that he was able to be up and
walk around on Monday and unless un-
looked for complications set in will re-
cover from his foolhardy act.
Younc MAN Steals EMPLOYER'S
POCKETBOOK.—Harry Toner is now in the
Centre county jail because he attempted
the get-rich-quick scheme by stealing his
employer's pocket book. Toner worked
for Frank Bartley, the liveryman, and
Wednesday night they went to bed to-
gether in Bartley’s room at the livery
stable. About twelve o'clock Harry Baum
returned a rig to the stable and when
Bartley was awakened he discovered that
Toner was missing. A quick search also
revealed the fact that his (Bartley's)
pocketbook, in which were about fifty-two
dollars, an overcoat and a pair of gloves
were also gone. Bartley telephoned for
the police and Daly Justice responded.
Fortunately they suspected that Toper
would lose no time in getting out of the
town, so they drove to Milesburg and
there learned that a freight train had
just pulled out, going west. Word was
telephoned to Snow Shoe Intersection,
the train was stopped and searched, re-
sulting in finding the young man hiding
between two cars. He was detained there
until Bartley and the policeman arrived.
He was then searched and the pocket-
book and contents found intact. Toner
was brought to Bellefonte and lodged in
jail. Bartley has missed small sums of
money at various times and he now sus-
pects Toner as having taken it.

Lewis MILLER BADLY INJURED ON RAIL-
ROAD.—A trail of fatatity seems to hang
over the life of Lewis Miller. Several
years ago while working as a brakeman
on the Nittany Valley railroad he had his
hand so badly mashed between two cars
that three fingers had tc be amputated.
Last fall he was compelled to submit to
an operation for appendicitis and yester-
day he fell from one of the yard engines
at the Nittany Iron company’s plant, his
left foot was run over and so badly
crushed that the leg had to be amputated
midway between the ankle and knee and
at this writing it is not known whether
he will recover or not.
Miller worked as a night watchman at
the Nittany furnace and also as extra
brakeman on the yard .trains. He was
working in the latter capacity yesterday
morning about eleven o'clock and went
to jump on the engine. His shoes had
heavy nails in them and the step being
slippery with sleet and ice, he slipped and
fell, his left foot going under the engine.
He was taken to the Bellefonte hospital
where the operation was performed yes-
terday afternoon.

LiNcOLN DAY AT STATE COLLEGE.—Lin-
coln’s birthday at State College was very
appropriately observed. In the morning a
public meeting was held in the auditor-
ium at which a very interesting address
on Lincoln was made by Col. C. E. Carr,
of Illinois. At noontide the James A.
Beaver Camp, Sons of Veterans, served
an elaborate banquet in the 1. 0. O. F.
hall which was greatly enjoyed by all
who had the pleasure of being present.
Col. John W. Stuart acted as toastmaster
and brief speeches were made by Dr.
Benjamin Gill, Prof. Garner, Hon. Robert
M. Foster, Gen. James A. Beaver, Col.
Carr, Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks and J. L.

peal for comrade Henry Schreffler, who

——On Sunday afternoon a freight
train on the Tyrone and Clearfield
railroad and one west on the Bald Eagle
sideswiped at Vail station where the

track was being cleared and passengers
for both roads were held in Tyrone until
the way was opened.

—Early Sunday forenoon the house
of William W. Dunkle, in Central City,
took fire and there being no adequate fire
protection the building was totally de-
stroyed, while only a portion of the house-
hold furniture was saved. Mr. Dunkle
estimates his loss at about twenty-five
hundred dollars on which there is only a
partial insurance. James Lingle and fam-
ily live next door to the Dunkle house
and their home was somewhat scorched
but by hard work of the Milesburg fire
company and others the Lingle home
was saved, for which the family feel very
thankful to all who so willingly aided
them.
——About thirty-five people attended
the first night of the old-fashioned sing-
ing class in the Presbyterian chapel last
Friday evening and such deep interest
was shown that there is no doubt but
that the school will be a success. The
number present last Friday evening
promises to be greatly increased at this
evening's class. This is the first general
opportunity the people of Bellefonte have
had to learn vocal music and it is an op-
portunity that should not be allowed to
pass unheeded. Prof. Philip H. Meyer is
an able instructor and a course under
him will be of material advantage to any
one interested in music.
——]Jt is less than two months now
until the opening of the trout fishing sea-
son and on account of the hard winter we
have had there is already considerable
speculation among fishermen as to the
plentifulness or scarcity of trout when the
season does open. Though the water in
all the streamsin the county was quite
low last fall there have been several rains
during the winter which raised the
waters, so that none of the creeks were
frozen dry, and if there is any scarcity of
trout next snmmer it cannot be ascribed
to such a cause. But there is every likeli-
hood of asmany trout being caught next
season as there were last, and that was
not an overbundance.
——Just because the public can see
nothing material being done it must not
be supposed that the Centre County Trac-
tion company has given up the project of
building that proposed trolley road from
Bellefonte to State College, as they have
not. The kind of weather we have had
this winter has not been very favorable
for railroad building but the local men at
the head of the movement have every
arrangement well under way and expect
to have everything in shape to begin the
actual construction of the road as soon
as weather conditions in the spring will
permit. Of course it will take some
months to build the road but it is expect-
ed that the line will be in operation be-
tween here and the college within a year.
—If you think the custom so long in
vogue on St. Valentine day is wearing out
just ask the mail carriers and they will
tell you different, as the mails on Mon-
day were overburdened with Valentine
day remembrances. The preponderance
of missives was of course of the postcard
variety but there was also a goodly sprink-
ling of the costly variety and the tender
missives of some lovesick swain. Then
there were the average percentage of
comics and the kind that isgenerally sent
in an unsealed envelope with a one cent
stamp uponit. A certain prominent at-
torney in Bellefonte was the recipient of
two of the latter and now he imagines if
the cases were to be tried in the quarter
sessions he would be able to convict two
well known young lady stenographers as

Having sold his Franklin automobile to |
| Mitchell I. Gardner George A. Beezer has |
| purchased a new Middleby touring car.
| This is the first of this make of car in |
Bellefonte and it naturally is being look-
ed over very closely by automobilists. It
has the same type of air cooled engine as
the 1906 model Franklin. It is painted
a dark blue in color and appears to com-
bine plenty of power and speed, though
the roads so far have not been in proper
condition for a good test of the machine.
The car is built in Reading, this State.
With the snow two feet deep on the
ground it may seem a little out of date
and yet it is not at all untimely to ask
what has become of the Bellefonte Motor
club? This club was organized last sum-
mer but too late to have any influence on
the building of good roads in the spring
of the year, the time when most of the
roads in the county are gone over. It
did result, however, in awakening such
an interest for good roads among the su-
pervisors of the county as well as the
farmers that a Road Supervisors associa-
tion was organized and an earnest spirit
manifested toward putting the roads in
a better condition. With this as a guid-
ance as to what can be done if the same
spirit of earnestness and activity is
shown in the future as in the past,
the Beliefonte Motor club should begin
to get active so that when spring opens
up their influence can be exerted toward
having the roads put in proper condition
for the summer season. This should
appeal not only to the automobilist but
every farmer and horse owner in the
county, for what is good for one is good
for all. -
STATE FRESHMEN HOLD ANNUAL BAN-
QUET.—Over four hundred State College
Freshmen sat around the board in the
large dining room of the Updegraff hotel,
Williamsport, on Tuesday night, and par-
took of their annual banquet undisturbed
and without even any semblance of mo-
lestation on the part of their arch ene-
mies, the Sophs. For two weeks past it
was pretty generally known that the
Freshman banquet would be held soon
but the Sophs were unable to find out
the exact date. Last week small squads
of Freshmen came to Bellefonte in the
evening but they would always return to
the college in the morning. Saturday
night two dozen or more of them came
to Bellefonte and on Sunday a number of
them walked down.
The big bulk of them, however, waited
until after dark Sunday evening when
about three hundred members of the
class managed to get to Lemont where
they had in waiting a special train of
seven cars which they boarded as quietly
as possible. As a wise precaution they
had secured the services of a half dozen
or more giant policemen and these guar-
dians of peace and order were stationed
on the car platforms, each one armed
with a big club and not a Soph was able
to get on the train and thus the Freshies
got away in perfect serenity. From Le-
mont the train was run as a special
through to Williamsport. Some fifty or
sixty Freshmen who did not get away
Sunday night went down on Monday
morning in ample time for the banquet
Tuesday evening. The entire bunch re-
turned on Wednesday.
WHo 1s GILBERT MUNSON, OF BELLE-
FONTE?—On Saturday night a young man
who gave his name as Gilbert Munson
and his home as Bellefonte got himself
in the clutches of the law in Altoona be-
cause he represented himself to be an-
other man. Munson was going the
rounds of the hotels in Altoona and
Juniata and finally got in the company of
constable Luther. Under the influence
of the drink he had imbibed he told the
constable that his name was Frank An-
derson. Now the constable happened to
recall that there was a reward offered for
the capture of one Frank Anderson, who
had deserted from the United States
army, at Detroit, Mich., last May and he
immediately took Munson into custody.
Realizing the predicament he had gotten
himself into the latter then confessed
that he was not Anderson at all but he
knew where the right man was, and gave
the officer his address. Not to be fooled,
however, the constable locked Munson
up and with another officer went to the
address given and secured the man who
is believed to be the right Anderson.
Munson was then released, after which
he told the officers that he was an inti-
mate friend of Anderson and the latter
had written him in Bellefonte to meet
him in Altoona at the address. given and
he was on his way to do so when he got
to drinking and fell into the clutches of
constable Luther, with the above result.
The query now is, who is this Gilbert
Munson, who gave his home as Belle-
fonte? re aa

were given a surprise. When Col. Tay-

oath but said he would exercise his pre-
rogative and take a week or ten days in
which to consider the question as to
whether he would accept or decline
the office so tendered him
by the soldiers of his old command. Col.
Taylor is every inch a soldier and a good
disciplinarian. He loves the service just
as much as the members of Company B
would appreciate having him as their
leader, and if he finally decides to decline
the honor of becoming captain of the
company his assigned reason of being too
busy will have to be accepted as the only
one. '

ARE THESE MEN IN CENTRE COUNTY? —
On Monday the authorities of Penn town-
ship received word from the police offi-
cials of Atlantic City to be on the look-
out for and arrest William and Arvis
Seyler, who are wanted in that city in
connection with a murder mystery and
whom it was believed by the Atlantic
City authorities had come to Centre
county.
The crime with which they are con-
nected was the mysterious death of Jane
Adams, of that city, who disappeared on
the evening of February 4th, and was last
seen in the company of William Seyler at
a dance on the million dollar pier. She
failed to return home that night and all
efforts to trace her whereabouts were
vain until the dead body was found on
the beach Sunday morning, ten days after
her disappearance. A deep cavity over
the young woman's eye indicated murder
and the sudden disappearance of the Sey-
ler brothers on February 7th confirmed
the suspicion of the authorities that they
might be implicated, or at least be able
to assist in solving the mystery of the
girl's death. Up to this writing they have
not been discovered in the neighborhood
of Coburn or any other part of the coun-'
ty.

fortunate enough to be able to retire from active
business and live comfortably without the cares
and annoyances that most of us experience, was | Oats
a friendly caller at the WATCHMAN office on Sat-
urday last. Mr. Pealer shows his good sense in
taking life easy when he can, in place of working
and worrying to grab everything that's to be had,
as many others do.
—G. W. Woodring Esq., of Bluefield, West
Virginia, who for several weeks has been visiting
relatives and friends up the Bald Eagle, on Wed.
nesday accompanied by ex-sheriff Woodring, of
this place, met many former acquaintances here
about town. Mr. Woodring likes his old home,
but still has a warm side for Centre county ways
and people and the WATCHMAN wouldn't be a
portunities offered down in West Virginia, he
would again be one of us. Mr. Woodring tells us
that the greatest pleasure Mrs. Woodring finds
down in that country is the receipt of the WATCH.
