But in the few weeks the school has been maintain- ed it has grown from a mere handful the first night into an attendance of two hundred or more; and if the number con- tinues to increase the Presbyterian chapel will not be large enough and the church will have to be used.

Sourbeck have decided to bring their son Harris home from the hospital in Philadelphia about the first of May and take care of him themselves, as he is showing no fur- ther improvement where he is. His ail- ment, and especially the cause, is most peculiar. In the fall of 1908 he went out rabbit hunting and it is believed overdid himself in the long walk he took. Two days thereafter his legs and the lower portion of his body became paralyzed and he was taken to the Bellefonte hospital for treatment. After being there four months he was taken to the Medico-Chi hospital in Philadelphia where he has been undergoing treatment for fourteen months. Today he is able to sit up and propel himself in a rolling chair and, while all the functions of his body are practically normal, he has not the slightest use of or feeling in his legs. When they bring him home Mr. and Mrs. Sourbeck will fix up the rear parlor in their house for his per- manent occupancy where, with his roller chair he will be able to spend the time it is believed more cheerfully than in the hospital. ——Harry Williams, of Huston town- ship, was arrested last Friday and bound over for trial at court for furnishing liquor to 2 man of known intemperate habits. Williams was in Bellefonte most of the day and so suspicious were his ac- tions when in the company of a certain Bellefonte man that the attention of the police was attracted. Finally he was seen go into a certain bar room in town and from there direct to the office of the Bellefonter. The police followed close after and upon. entering and searching the office found a bottle of whiskey with two drinks missing in the bottom of the waste paper basket. The liquor was con- fiscated and Williams was taken to the hotel where the bartender identified him .as the man who had bought the bottle of whiskey only a short time previous. Wil- liams was then placed under arrest and said he would be able to give bail at the 'Squire’s office. At the barroom door the police stepped back to allow Williams to pass out first and thinking that an oppor- tunity for escape he jumped out onto the pavement and started down the street as hard as he could run. Policeman Duke- man gave chase and caught the man be- fore he had gone a square and he then gave bail for his appearance at court. ———— GQ mn ———Last Saturday John D. Meyer, cashier of the Blair County Title and Trust company, of Altoona, and his broth- er, Charles Meyer, of Reedsville, were at Centre Mills attending the funeral of their uncle, the late Joseph Moyer. In the afternoon I. V. Shawver, tenant farmer on the Moyer farm, hitched a team in the carriage for the purpose of taking the Meyer brothers to the station at Coburn. On the way over from Millheim to Coburn the neckyoke slipped off, letting the car- riage pole drop to the ground. The horses became frightened and ran away. Both John D. and Charles Meyer were thrown out. The former lit in a big mud puddle then slid along the ground about ten feet, knocking the skin off his right arm from the wrist to the elbow and sustaining slight bruise. Naturally he was cov- ered with mud from head to foot, so that when he arrived in Bellefonte he looked as if he had been taking a mud bath with his clothes on. Charles Meyer was more fortunate, receiving only a few scratches and a small portion of the mud in the road. The horses ran almost a mile before they were stopped and then the carriage was not fit for further use. Fortunately they were not far from the toll gate on pike and, telephoning to Millheim, finally succeeded in secur- ing the of an automobile to take them to the Coburn station.
