Not aspiring to a hand-to-hand contest Miss Bartges ob- tained a long, slender branch of a young tree, and making a loop at the end she, after repeated failure, finally succeeded in getting its head in the loop and pulled it to the ground, then hastily grasped it by the feet. The eagle measures from tip to tip of wings six feet and seven inches, with talons that look like huge iron hooks. Miss Bartges brought her prize to town and exhibited it. Its size and manner of capture created consid- erable surprise. She took the bird home and has it caged. A Narrow EscapPe.—Miss Florence Love, an employee of the WATCHMAN office, has been spending the week with Mrs. J. F. Alexander in Centre Hall, and on Wednesday morning had a very nar- row escape from a serious injury if not her life. She was sitting on the porch reading when something struck the third button on the waist of her dress with such force that the button was knocked off. At first she thought it was a stone carelessly thrown by some boy but a search instituted by herself and others resulted in the finding of a bullet lying on the porch not far from where she had been sitting. The ball evidently struck the button at an angle, cut the thread as if it had been a knife then spent its energy against the side of the house. An ex- amination revealed a burnt streak on her dress where the bullet coursed along after striking the button. Where it came from is a mystery asall efforts te locate a man or boy with a gun were fruitless. ———— A — REUNION IN OHI10.—The sixth annual reunion of former residents of Centre county in Ohio was held at the farm of J. D. Dannley, Medina, Ohio, on July 4th. Ninty-eight members satdown to a picnic dinner which left nothing to be desired. The usual sports were indulged in and the time spent in cementing old friendships and forming new ones. Those attending from a distance this year were Mr. Isaac Ward, of Clark, Ohio; Mr.and Mrs. John Enguard, of Rockey River, Ohio. The old officers were re-elected as follows: Mr. M. Dannley, Seville, president; Mrs. J. D. Dannley, Medina, secretary and treasurer; Mr. John Gates, Medina, chair- man committee on arrangements. —— A m—— —Two weeks ago Hugh N.

Come and bring your friends —-Last Saturday morning Mildred Laurie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Laurie, of Tyrone, but formerly of this place, was out at Stevens’ park with some young friends shooting the chutes. She made the descent several times with perfect safety but ona last descent when nearing the bottom she took a tumble and landed on her left leg in such a way as to tear the ligaments her ankle. —(n the evening of the Fourth of July the residence in Clearfield occupied by ex-Judge Cyrus Gordon and family was entirely destroyed by fire. The judge succeeded in saving his library and Mrs. Gordon her piano, china and silverware while practically all their household furniture was destroyed. It was fully covered with insurance. The house was not owned by them, only rented. They are now contemplating moving onto their farm at Hecla, this county. Notwithstanding the hot weather | of the past two weeks there has been no loss in attendance at the Scenic. The place is always so well ventilated that it is as comfortable as any other place in town and the admirable program of pictures presented every night justifies the best of attendance. Manager T. Clayton Brown looks very closely after the comfort of all, both grown-ups and children, and selects his program to please all people. Don't miss an evening, as it costs only five cents. —— —All the differences on the matter of grade, paving and curbing between the property owners along the route of the state road through Bellefonte and the Street committee according to the engi- neer’s survey having been satisfactorily adjusted contractor R.

Inasmuch as the season is almost half over work on the same will have to be pushed considerably faster in the future than it has in the past or the job will not be completed in time for next winter's snow. —The Bellefonte contingent of the National guard, company L, Twelfth regiment of the Third brigade, left Belle- fonte on a special train of two cars at six o'clock on Sunday morning for the an- nual encampment of the brigade with sev- eral regiments of the regular army at Gettysburg. The company was in com- mand of Capt. H. S. Taylor and went away in good military style. The one thing of interest in connection with the encampment is that it is expected that the long drawn out election of a colonel for the Twelfth regiment will take place this week and there is considerable in- terest is knowing whether Capt. Taylor will be successful. —In another column of today’s WATCHMAN will be found the advertise- ment of Francis E. Pray, who is devoting his summer months to selling a number of Rand & McNally’s leading publica- tions. Among them are the Mace histories, which are the work of a man equipped by nature and training for the writing of history. A student of two worlds, and a teacher of marked success Mace displays breadth, balance and power. A descendant of a Virginia colonist and born in the Middle West, he shows not only the warmth and sympathy of the southern temperament but the vigor of the younger section. The combination gives astrength and freedom of outlook that shows through every line of his work; a view that, for the placing of things clearly be. fore the generations to come, cannot fail to effect great good.
