stolen from his shop but the latter main-
tained that he had bought it from a
Hebrew peddler in Bellefonte. But the
fact that he offered to pay for the cloth
if he was released was somewhat against
him and he was held for trial by court.
Murder or Suicide.
Mrs. John Baudis, of Scotia, found with
Her Head Nearly Cut off within One
Hundred Yards of her Home. Circum+
stances Point to a Horrible Murder and
Bert Delige is in Jail as a suspect.
The little village of Scotia up in
the Barrens was thrown into a furore
of excitement on Sunday evening when
it became known that Mrs. Hilda Baudis,
widow of John Baudis, the well known
merry-go-round man who committed sui-
cide in Williamsport on August 14th, had
either committed suicide herself or else
been foully murdered, as her dead but
yet life-warm body had been found in a
grassfield about three hundred feet from
the Baudis home, with her throat cut
from ear to ear.
The Baudis home is located a half mile
or more from Scotia and late Sunday af-
ternoon Mrs. Baudis went over to the
town to visit a friend. It was in the
neighborhood of seven o'clock when she
started home, and naturally quite dark.
To lessen the journey she took a short
cut across the old mud dam and through
a small grassfield. It was probably ten
minutes past seven o'clock when Thomas
Baudis, the unfortunate woman's son,
who was standing in the doorway attheir
home, heard a woman's shrill scream out
in the darkness in the direction of the
field. He is merely a lad and did not at
first realize that the cry was one of dis-
tress, but a few moments later thinking
of his mother’s delay in getting home ran
down the path into the field to investigate
and had gone probably three hundred
feet when he found her lying across
the path. Realizing that something
fearful had happened he ran back to
the house and told his sister and their
cries for help were heard in Scotia and
promptly responded to.
A large crowd soon gathered and the
doctor being summoned found that the
woman was dead and that the first cuton
her neck had severed the jugular vein and
windpipe and caused almost instant death.
District attorney W. G. Runkle and other
Bellefonte officials were at once notified
and after instructing the people of Scotia
what to do with the body Mr. Runkle se-
cured an automobile and went up to the
scene of the tragedy. After inspecting
the body and the scene of the crime Mr.
Runkle felt satisfied it was not a case of
suicide but of murder and at once started
in on an investigation that led to the ar-
rest on Monday afternoon of Bert Delige,
colored, on suspicion of having commit-
ted the deed.
Dr. Huff, coroner, went to Scotia on
Monday and held a post mortem and in-
quest over the body. His examination
disclosed the fact that the woman's throat
toear and had cut in almost to the back-
bone. Within the principal gash were
three or four smaller cuts, as if the per-
son who did the deed was not satisfied
that the first cut would cause death. In
the opinion of the district attorney, the
coroner and the coroner's jury it was a
physical impossibility for the woman to
have inflicted such wounds upon herself,
and as evidence to absolve her of having
committed suicide no knife or weapon of
any kind was found upon or in the vicinity
of the body; and the coroner's jury found
that the woman had been murdered by
parties unknown to them.
Delige had been in the employ of Bau-
dis before he committed suicide and has
since worked for Mrs. Baudis up until a
week or so ago; in fact was helping to
operate the merry-go-round here during
fair week. After the machine was
housed for the winter Mrs. Baudis
had no more work for Delige and
then they had a dispute over seven dol-
lais the latter claimed was due him from
before Mr. Baudis’ death; a claim denied
by Edward Baudis and which Mrs. Bau-
dis refused to pay. Delige is alleged
to have declared only a few days ago
that he would get it somehow. It is also
said that he was drinking on Sunday and
had been seen in the vicinity of the Bau-
dis home only a short time before the
crime was committed. An investigation
of the ground in the field where the body
was found and in an adjoining cornfield
showed fresh tracks leading from the
body in the direction of the Delige
home, and on securing the shoes that
Bert wore the night before they were
found to fit the tracks exactly. The
most incriminating feature of the
tracks was that the sole on one of the
shoes was worn through and the one end
wrinkled up and this peculiar indentation
was found in every track made by that
foot.
Delige, though he evidently knew he
was under suspicion, made no effort to
down to the Gray farm to raise potatoes
for Mr. Griffin and it was there Sheriff
Hurley found him when it was decided
to arrest him on suspicion. He made
no resistance whatever to the officers
and was brought to Bellefonte in the
evening and locked up. He took his ar-
rest very nonchalantly, of course denying
that he had committed the crime. Delige
however, has a bad reputation and has
been out of the penitentiary about two
years after serving a term for manslaugh.

woman, almost distracted by her hus-
band’s death, physically a frail, lifeless,
disconsolate looking soul, was under the
impression that unless she could make
this last payment all that had been made
before would be lost. It was her utter
payment that was causing the distress at
the time we talked to her. And, as we
have said before, we can see how per-
haps in a frenzy of worriment she might
have temporarily lost control of herself
and made an end of it all. On the other
hand she talked about her husband's sui-
cide in a way that intimated that she was
accustomed to going to her knees before
the Master and that she realized what
“an awful thing in His sight John had
done.” Although she was in the aban-
don of dejection so much so and so daz-
ed by her distress that she didn't seem
to comprehend at all the meaning of an
offer to protect her in the final payment
of the machine that has certainly been
the cause of both tragedies, for we firm-
ly believe that if her's was not suicide,
when the truth is out, the merry-go-
round will be in some way connected
with her murder.
One of the instances that led to a sus-
picion that Delige may have murdered
Mrs. Baudis was the fact that when her
dead and mutilated body was found it
{ who did not go to the scene of the crime.
And the next morning when he was on
his way to the Gray farm to help raise
potatoes, and was told by a man he hap-
pened to meet that Mrs. Baudis had been
murdered he merely shrugged his shoul-
ders, said “has she,” and continued on
his way. When sheriff Hurley and po-
liceman Harry Dukeman went to the
Gray place to arrest Delige he was on a
load of potatoes with another man on
their way from the field to the house.
The wagon was stopped and Dukeman
told Delige to get down that he was
wanted. The latter wanted to know
what for and when told that he very like-
ly knew what for he replied: “Oh, that’s
the way; whenever there is anything bad
happens at Scotia it is always Bert who
did it.”
When the crime was first discovered
and Edward Baudis, the dead woman's
son, was not to be found in that locality
it was thought by some that he may have
been implicated in some way, inasmuch
as he was known to have been at home
the latter part of last week. But all sus-
picion as to him was dispelled when it
became known that he had come to
Bellefonte on Saturday evening, remain-
ed here until Tuesday afternoon and then
gone to Unionville on the 4.44 train and
out to the home of his wife's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Spotts, in Bush Hollow. The
authorities tried to get word to him on
Sunday night but could not as he was be-
yond the reach of the telephone. Mon-
day morning he went to the mountain to
cut props and it was well along in the
forenoon when he got the word of his
mother’s unfortunate end. He immedi-
ately went to Unionville, came to Belle-
fonte on the afternoon train and went up
to Scotia over the Bellefonte Central.

born and raised at Scotia. They have

| H. C. Quigley Esq., secretary of the
local board of health, appeared before
council and stated that inasmuch as
, council had so far failed to pass an or-
| dinance adopting a set of rules for the
benefit of the board, they had decided to
go'ahead and do what they could under
{the various state health laws, and he
! asked that a new member of the board
be appointed to take the place of Dr. J.
L. Seibert, resigned. Dr. Seibert’s unex-
pired term runs to January 1st, 1913, and
Mr. Quigley suggested that Dr. R. G. H.
Hayes be appointed in his stead. He also
! gave notice that the five year term of A.
| C. Mingle would expire on January 1st.
11911, and asked for his reappointment.
| No action was taken in the matter at
this meeting.
Frank McCoy asked permission to blow
away the point of the hill below his resi-
dence in order to afford a better entrance
thereto. Council granted the permission
on condition that he use due precaution
and be responsible for any damages that
may be done; the permission, however,
not carrying with it the right to trespass
upon any other person's property.
Mr. McAvoy, superintendent of the
Bellefonte Electric company, made a
proposition to council for a better light-
| ing of the Diamond after the completion
of the new state road. He stated that it
had been cut with a remarkably sharp | naturally created great excitement in | was the purpose of the American Union

and that the first slash extended from ear | only person in that whole neighborhood | on that portion of Allegheny street to

! ally require the changing of the electrtc
lights, and the proposition that the com-
pany had to make was that they would
erect eight iron posts with underground
wires, one on each of the eight corners
of the Diamond, to be equipped with one
hundred watt lamps; the installation of
the new equipment to be done at the ex-
pense of the company and the only
charge to the borough to be for two of
the lights, or $44 per year. The propo-
sition was accepted.
A month or more ago complaint was
made to council of the bad condition of
a large number of pavements in various
parts of the town and the clerk was in-
structed to give notice to property own.
ers that same must be repaired within
twenty days. At Monday night's meeting
the clerk gave notice that the time limit
had expired and upon motion of Mr.
Keller the Street committee was author-
ized to go ahead and make repairs or
build new pavements wherever needed,
provided notice to same had been given
property owners; which means that if
you have a bad pavement and don't re-
pair it soon it will be done by the bor-
ough at your expense.
Complaint was made about the chicken
house and dog kennel on the property of
John Sebring, on Spring street, now oc-
cupied by Dr.R. L. Weston, being a
nuisance, and the borough solicitor was
instructed to notify the owner to remove
the same.
The slowness in the progress of the
new state road was brought up and the
clerk was instructed to write a letter to
the State Highway Commissioner stating
the condition the streets are in and ask-
ing that the work be expedited, if possi-
ble. Mr. Meyer, the inspector, was pres-
ent, and stated that with the exception
of the steam heating traps everything was
now out of the way and they would be
abie to push the work more rapidly.
This completed the business of the
evening and after the approval of bills to

AFTER SIX YEARS A StoLEN WATCH
on the L. & T. R. R. walked into Blair's
jewelry store to sell some chances on a
gold watch. He showed the watch to R.
Russel Blair who recognized it at once as
one that had been stolen fron their store
over six years ago.
In all the thousands of customer's
watches that the Blairs have handled
only one ever has been lost. This was
the ome and the story of its disappearaace
and return is interesting. It happened
in the Christmas season when so many
small engraving orders and repairs are
being made in addition to the rush of the
holiday trade, that this ladies gold watch
was left at the store to be cleaned. It
was put in the usual place for keeping
customer's watches until the time would
come when it could be looked after.
When that time came it was not to
found. While no charges were made for
want of positive proof the senior member
of the firm always entertained a suspi-
cion as to where it had gone. Just six
months later the Italian who produced it
Saturday night was wandering through
Mulberry St., in New York, and seeing a
gold watch in the window of a pawn
broker's office ‘was attracted by it and
inquired the price. He was offered the
watch for $35.00 but finally succeeded in
buying it for $25.00. He worked a while
in New York, then in Philadelphia and
finally came to Bellefonte; never dream-
ing that he possessed something that had
been stolen from here years before and
probably it would never have been known
had he not decided to chance it off and
wandered into Blair's to sell tickets. It
cost him not only the watch, but a great
deal of grief as to how he will reimburse
those to whom he had already sold
chances.
The watch was a treasured trinket of
Mrs. John A. Woodward, of Howard, who
strangly enough, was lying dead at her
home at the moment of its return and
shortly before her death she had re-
marked that if it should ever turn up
she wanted it given to a certain member
of her family.

THE TIME THE PLACE AND THE GIRL.—
Beautiful girls, exquisite scenic environ-
ment, clever comedians, startling electric.
al surprises, all sweet singing, graceful
dancing, picturesque groupings, witty di-
alogue, brilliant lyrics, catchy songs and
tuneful music, are said to be the chief
ingredients which have been responsible
for the universal praise with which that
piquant musical mixture, “The Time, the
Place and the Girl," has been accorded
in every large city in which it has been
presented. The entire production as
shown during its New York, Chicago and
Boston runs, will be presented at the Gar-
man opera house, Thursday, November
3rd.
SYLVUS — MCKELVEY. — On Monday

cy McKelvey, of this place, went to Ty-
rone where they were quietly married in
the parlor of the Arlington hotel by the

Port Matilda. Owing to the serious ill-
ness of the bride's mother, Mrs. John
McKelvey, of east Lamb street, a wed-
ding trip was necessarily dispensed with
and the young couple returned to Belle-
fonte on the 1.23 p. m. train. They ex-
pect eventually to take up their residence
in Sunbury where the bridegroom has a
good position.
