BELLEFONTE STILL IN THE BASEBALL Swim.—The little uncertainty that hung "over the continuance of the Bellefonte baseball team as a member of the Moun- tain league was dispelled as mist before the sun at a meeting held in the office of Hon. J. C. Meyer last Friday evening when the enthusiastic fans decided that the Bellefonte team was playing good enough ball to warrant being kept in the field and arrangements made whereby Bellefonte will remain in the league until the close of the season on Labor Day, which will give four more weeks of base- ball after this week. As a matter of econo- my merely the association decided to dis- pense with an outside manager and assist- ant manager and Conn, the catcher of the team, was elected to that position. He will have full charge of the team in ‘every way and may make ome or two changes which will materially strengthen the aggregation. One week from today, or Friday, Au- gust 12th, has been named as “Booster day,” and on that day everybody in Belle- fonte is urged to turn out and see the game and thus give the team your per- sonal as well as financial encouragement. For that day tickets will be sold by a number of Bellefonte’s pretty girls and as an inducement to them the associa- tion has offered and will pay to the girl selling the highest number of tickets the sum of fifteen dollars in gold; to the one selling the next highest five dollars in gold and to all those who take part in this selling contest a season ticket will be given. Clearfield will be the oppos- ing team on that day and they are strong enough to warrant the assertion in ad- vance that the game will be an interest- ing one. Therefore don't fail to make your arrangements so you can attend. Since the last issue of the WATCHMAN Bellefonte has won three games and lost one and, Osceola having lost three games, the home team is giving them a good chase for first place. Clearfield has also been playing good ball, having strength- ened her team, and she will have to be reckoned with before the end of the sea- son. Bellefonte will not have another home game until Friday of next week, "Booster day,” on account of the circus being here on Thursday. The standing of the clubs to Wednes- day evening is as follows: ——0On Monday Huston Goss, chauffeur for Hon. A. G. Morris, went to Tyrone to look after and drive Hon. A. A. Stevens’ cars during the vacation of the regular chauffeur. On Tuesday morning he under- took to crank a big Thomas car when the crank flew back and struck him with such force as to break his right arm above the wrist. The fracture was reduc- ed by a Tyrone physician after which he returned to Bellefonte. FIRE AT HOWARD.—The saw and han. dle mill of Harvey Wetzel, at Howard, to- gether with a quantity of lumber was de- stroyed by fire on Wednesday night. The exact amount of the loss has not been obtainable at this writing but Mr. Wetzel had his property insured. How the fire originated is not known. By hard work on the part of the citizens of Howard the flames were kept from communicating to adjoining properties. Business MENS PICNIC PRIVILEGES.— The passenger department of C. R.

Four young children of Mrs. Joseph Mello, wife of a wealthy rancher, near Brentwood, Cal, were drowned by their mother. Mrs. Mello was evidently driven in- sane by the loneliness of the country. She lived in a big farmhouse with her husband and children, the oldest being Chester, 14 years old. No servant was employed. After writing letters to her relatives, telling them she was desperate throufh loneliness, she took the five children into the kitchen and deliberately set about killing them. First she strangled little Ramon, a 4-year-old girl, and then drowned her in a washtub. Leona, a 2-yearold girl, came next. She snatched the baby from the arms of her brother and killed the child like the others. Then she seized the twin babies, five months old, and plunged them in he tub. Lit. tle Chester, who had vainly tried to stop his mother’s dreadful work, rush- ed out inta the yard and screamed for help. Sheriff Veale happened to be passing in an automobile and he responded. He tried to resuscitate the twins. He took the mother and placed her under arrest and in a hos- pital. The mother cried constantly. To the sheriff Mrs. Mello told a story of her lonely, blank existence in the country, an existence shaaowed with constant horror of impending in- sanity, which se confessed had car ried off her mother, her sister and her brother.
