In trying to ascertain Delige’s where-
abouts on the evening of the murder the
| authorities have so far been unable to lo-
cate him at the exact time the murder
was committed. There is evidence to show
that he was at home an hour before the
murder and an hour afterwards but as to
where he was the two hours between six
and eight o'clock the officials have oniy

three years in the western penitentiary,

to his old home at Scotia and it is said
that ever since the people of that place
and vicinity have lived in constant fear
of what he would do next.
PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM OF ELKS.—Ralph
T. Mallory, photographer in Crider’s
has made a very generous offer
to the members of Bellefonte Lodge of
Elks. He will give an individual sitting

one picture to be presented to the lodge
in order to make a complete album of all
the members. Of course after the pictures
are finished any member of the lodge can

——E. A. Peters, of Buffalo Run valley,
took a load of potatoes to Tyrone one day
last week. It was evening when he ar-
rived at his destination and he drove to a
certain hotel and put up for the night,
putting his wagon loaded with potatoes
in the hotel stable. Next morning when
he went to hitch up he discovered that
seven bags of potatoes, or ten and a half
bushels, had been stolen during the night.
Though no trace of the missing tubers
could be found Mr. Peters has his suspi-
cions as to where they went and the next
time he goes to Tyrone will house his po-
tatoes in a safer place.
——On Wednesday sixteen young boys
of Coleville were arrested on a warrant
sworn out by John D. Lohr charging them
with disorderly conduct and malicious
mischief. The boys were givena hearing
the same afternoon before justice Henry
Brown at which Mr. Lohr stated that the
boys threw stones at his residence on
Hallowe'en breaking the windows. The
boys admitted having a good time and
throwing cabbage stumps, but denied
throwing stones. Squire Brown did not
consider the evidence sufficient to hold
the boys for court so discharged them
after administering some good advice.
The costs were placed on the county.
——The Bellefonte Academy football
team was entirely too strong for the Y.
M. C. A. team, of Tyrone, last Saturday,
and were easy victors by the score of 30
to 0. E.L. Tyson, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. E. Tyson, of Tyrone, is captain and
manager of the Tyrone eleven and plays
quarterback. On his first kickoff on Sat-
urday Dillon got the ball on the Acade-
my’s goal line and ran the entire length
of the field for a touchdown During the
game Tyson, Dillon and one or two oth-
ers had to be taken out of the game on
account of slight injuries. On the Ty-
rone team are Seibert and Fisher, two
old Bellefonte boys, both of whom played
a good game notwithstanding their de-
feat.
| Boyd Spicher, mail carrier on rural route ’
| No. 2 from the Bellefonte postoffice, and
Howard Wells, a game warden of Green's
valley, went out on Nittany mountain to
hunt raccoons. They had four dogs and
had the good luck of treeing and captur
afterward their dogs treed an animal
which naturally was supposed to be
another coon, though from appearance of
it in the tree top the hunters considered
it the daddy coon of all. Spicher took a
shot at it and the animal tumbled to the
ground, and was at once captured by the
dogs. When the latter were taken off the
hunters were surprised to discover that
! their big coon was no coon at all but a
cub bear which weighed seventy-five
pounds. With the bear and two coons the
hunters had quite a profitable night's
hunt.
George Weaver, of Curtin township,
does not go after bear with agun but re-
sorts to the use of traps to capture them
and so far this season has gotten two,
The second one he captured was last week
and it was a monster, dressing over three
hundred pounds.
Rabbit season opened on Tuesday but
there was no great slaughter of cotton
tails. In fact fewer rabbits were brought
into Bellefonte that day than on any
opening day in years. Jack Decker came
in with two rabbits and a small bunch of
reed birds. Edmund Blanchard brought
one rabbit home from Nittany mountain
and Fred Blanchard brought in a pheas-
ant. Of course there may have been oth-
er hunters who were successful in bag-
ging a rabbit or two, but if there were
the writer has not heard of them; while
we do know of a number who were out
and didn't get anything. Two Belle-
fonters were so bent on getting some-
thing that they chased acat into a stone-
pile and tried to capture it as a rabbit.
Charles Moerschbacher and Joseph Thal
bagged six, George Harpster and his party
got nine, and John Nighthart and Mr.
Frazier got seven.
The poor luck which attended the hun-
ters on the opening day can only be ac-
counted for by the fact that rabbits, like
all other game, must be scarce. Of course
there are some, and with the night kind
of weather and good dogs hunters will no
doubt have some luck in killing rabbits
before the season comes to an end; but
hunting rabbits, pheasants and all other
kinds of game is not what it used to be
fifteen years ago. But then it affords a
good excuse for a day in the woods.

Wire BeaTER HELD FOR COURT.—On
Tuesday afternoon William Kessinger, of
Blanchard, was given a hearing before
justice of the peace W. H. Musser on the
charge of assault and battery, for beating
his wife. Kessinger is a man of various
peculiarities. He has not had a hair cut
or shave in fifteen years and he stated
before the justice that it was his religious
belief that he must not have his hair and
beard cut off in order to be saved after
death. Regarding the accusation against
him of beating his wife, the latter was
the star witness and exhibited two black
and swollen eyes as the result of blows
inflicted by her husband last Friday. A
number of witnesses testified to Kes-
singer's ill-treatment of his wife and fam-
ily.
In his own behalf Kessinger did not
deny having beaten his wife but stated
that he had been told by the district at-
torney that if she did not do as he wanted
her to he was to “lick her,” and that is
what he did. Of course the district at-
torney was not present to state whether
he had given Kessinger such advice or
not.
Following the hearing before ‘Squire
Musser Kessinger was taken before Judge
Orvis for a hearing to decide which one, he
or his wife should have control of their
children and after the court heard the
testimony of half a dozen or more wit-
nesses the children were given into the
custody of the mother. On the charge of
assault and battery Kessinger was held
under five hundred dollars bail for trial
at court and succeeded in giving bond.
PARENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION OR-
GANIZED.—At quite a largely attended
meeting, held in the new High school
building on Tuesday evening, a Parent-
Teachers association was organized for
Bellefonte and the following officers elect-
ed: President, Mrs. Ambrose M. Schmidt;
vice president, Mrs. Harry Badger; sec-
retary, Mrs. John S. Walker; treasurer,
James K. Barnhart. The purpose of the
organization is to foster co-operative
work between parents and teachers for
the moral, intellectual and physical bene-
fit of the children of the town. Provid-
ing but playgrounds for their recreation
and physical development.
THE ARRIVAL OF KITTY. — John P,
Shanaham was in Bellefonte on Wed-
nesday making arrangements for the ap-
pearance at Garman's on Wednesday
evening, November 9th, of “The Arrival
of Kitty." This is not a new production
to Bellefonte theatre goers but it is said
to be better this year than ever, for the
reason that Doherty-Collins & Co., under
whose management the play is given,
have abandoned all other plays and com-
bined their companies in this amusing
comedy. There will be twelve new
musical hits and lots of good, clean, crisp
fun. Hal Johnson and Florence Forest
head the cast and they are supported by
a good company.
