At a habeas corpus hearing yesterday Bert Delige (colored) was held for trial for the murder of Mrs. Hilda Baudis, of Scotia, on the night of October 16th, and was remanded to jail without bail for tri- al at the December term of court.

Aaron Delige, a cousin of Bert Delige, testified that he and Bert had spent Sun- day at Pinetop near Waddle, and that they both had been drinking some. When asked how much he stated that they only had two kegs of beer. It was about seven o'clock in the evening when they got home. On the way home they pass- ed the Ghener house and after they had passed Mrs. Baudis came out and started home. She walked faster than they did and passed them on the way, bidding them good evening. The witness testi- fied that he and Bert went into the house | together and that he took off his shoes, sat down on a chair and went to sleep and did not see Bert again until he went up to bed at ten o'clock when he found him in the room, the two sleeping togeth- et. That he did not know Mrs. Baudis had been murdered until the next morn- ing. Nothing new was divulged on the cross-examination. R. E. Cronemiller was recalled and testified to the finding of the tracks on the old mud dam, some distance from the regularly traveled path, and leading in the direction from where Mrs. Baudis’ body was found up over the hill to a deep | cut near the Delige home. Judson Williams and James Hilyare also testified to following the above trail. Thomas Baudis, the ten-year-old son of the murdered woman was called. He stated that he did not know the meaning | of an oath but the court heard his state- ment. He said that he and his brother Charles had spent the day at State Col- lege and arrived home about 6.30 o'clock. OPENING OF DEER HUNTING SEASON. — The deer hunting season in Pennsylvania will open next Tuesday morning and from all indications the usual number of Centre county hunters will go out on the mountains for their two weeks annual hunt. Reports from woodsmen and oth- ers who have been in the mountains are that deer will be more plentiful this year than last, a fact hunters will surely ap- preciate, though that is no evidence that they will meet with better success. Last year was a poor year, as not half the number of deer were killed in Centre county that were killed in previous years. And yet there were deer in the woods, as many were seen, but at too great distance to offer even a possible good shot. Last year, as well as in some previous | years, the hunters who went farthest out ' on the Alleghenies or deepest into the the Seven mountains had the poorest luck. Most of the deer killed were nn the foothills of the Alleghenies or on the first ' and second ranges of the Seven moun- | tains. Deer were even killed on Brush ' mountain and down in the vicinity of | Coburn. But notwithstanding this fact the majority of the hunters prefer going | as deep into the wilds as possible. Of | course this has another advantage, as | they stand a good chance of getting a | bear or two, asthey are also said to be quite plentiful this season. The Panther hunting club will leave for | their camp in the Scootac region on the; early train over the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania tomorrow morning. The entire party will not go out tomorrow but | those who will compose the advance guard will be John Knisely,Linn McGinley, Harry | Gerberich,W. C.Cassidy,Henry Kline, Ed- | mund Blanchard and one or two others. ‘Lhe balance of the party will go out for part | of the time during their two weeks camp. His sister Mary and grandfather were | The Curtin township crowd and the the only persons at home when they got there. He was standing on the porch with his grandfather when he heard a woman scream in the direction of the cornfield. He at once ran in that direc- tion and found his mother. While run- ning there he stated he plainly heard some one running away from where the body was found, and the running was heavy like that of a man. At the conclusion of the boy's state- ment the court stated that he deemed the evidence sufficient to hold the prisoner for trial and he was remanded into the custody of the sheriff. ——Mrs. Joseph Miller is at her home in a serious condition, the result of an attack of vertigo while in the bath tub Saturday night. ——After eight and a half years serv- ice as pastor of the Aaronsburg charge of the Lutheran church Rev. B. R. M. Sheeder will sever his connection with the same on November 21st andgo to Ciar- icn as pastor of the Lutheran church there. The Aaronsburg charge which will thus be left vacant consists of the churches at Aaronsburg, St. Paul's, Co- burn, Millheim and Penn Hall. ——The annual Bucknell—State fcot- ball game will be played on Beaver field, at State College, tomorrow, Saturday afternoon. The Lewisburg rooters will come to State by special train and have an idea that they can win the game. Ad- mission will be 50 cts, seats in the grard stand 50 cts. extra, the bleachers 25 cts. extra. Parties in automobiles will be charged 75 cts. each admission. 1 CBE nmr ~ ——Mrs. Edward W. Biddle, of Car- lisle, president of the Pennsyivania Fed- eration of Women, will be in Bellefonte on Wednesday night of next week, No- vember 16th, and will make an address before the Civic club in the Reformed chapel. Every woman in Bellefonte re- gardless of whether they are members of the club or not, as well as every man who believes in civic righteousness, is invited to be present. —“ ——The Bellefonte friends of Miss Bertha Meshaw, who went to the Mont Alto sanitorium last spring for treat- ment, will be pleased to know that her sojourn there has been very beneficial. During the six months she has been there she has gained about fifteen pounds in weight and feels stronger and better in every way than she has ina year. She will remain there some months longer until her strength has completely re- turned. nr S68 eam ——On Thursday of last week Michael Lovett, of Monument, and Herbert Clark, of Blanchard, went out on the Big Run, in the Scoatac region, to hunt rabbits. Late in the afternoon they were attract- ed by a disturbance in the undergrowth and going to the spot discover¢1 a bear in a trap that had been set by Mr. Lovett several days previous. The bear was killed and when dressed weighed one hundred and seventy-five pounds. Lovett conducts a butcher shop and boarding house at Monument and his customers and boarders had bear meat the next day. — aby ———— ——Last Saturday afternoon "Crow" Brown constituted himself a local walk- ing delegate labor agitator on the brick paving job in the Diamond and succeed" ed in inducing the laborers on the job to go on a strike for higher wages. John M. Orr, who had charge of the work, gave the men the alternative of going back to work for the same . wages—$1.75 per day—or not going to work at all, and all of them returned to work but two. He also gave the walking delegate the alternative of making himself scarce or being kicked off the jcb, and he very ju- Blanchard party will also go into the Scootac region while various camps will be pitched in the mountains from Snow Shoe west to beyond Philipsburg. THAT BRICK PAVING.—At last the brick paved portion of the new state road, run- ning from the alley at Parrish’s drug | store to Bishop street, including the Dia- mond is practically completed and not { only the business people in that part of { the town but every resident of the bor- ough has an opportunity to pass judg- | ment upon it. That it is an improvement | cannot be denied. It is a substantial, | nicely-graded street and improves the appearance of that locality very much. Mrs. J. A. Aiken was the first of the property owners along the street to fix her pavement to correspond with the street by putting down one of con- on Allegheny street. Other | property owners will also bring their | pavements to the proper grade either | this fall or next spring, and then that | portion of the town will be very up-to- | date. There is now some talk among the | property owners from Parrish’s drugstore | north on Allegheny street to Linn street | of petitioning to have that thoroughfare paved with brick, as was at first propos- ed, instead of asphalt-macadam, but what will come of it is not yet known. The work of laying the brick was done by the John W. Orr Construction company and they did a good job. BADLY INJURED IN PREMATURE EX- PLOSION.—In the premature discharge of a blast at the plant of Chemical Lime company, up Buffalo Run, last Saturday, Oliver King, of Lyontown, had one leg, one arm and several ribs broken and sus- tained a number of contusions on the face and body, but notwithstanding the seriousness of his injuries, it is believed he will recover. King had charge of the blast and after loading the hole he ap- plied the match to what he supposed was an ample length of fuse to allow him time to get to a place of safety, but the fuse was evidently defective as King had gotten only a short distance from the place when the blast went off. He was thrown some distance and was a human target for a shower of flying rock and dirt. His fellow workmen, who saw the ac- cident, expected to find him dead but in- stead found him with the above injuries and conscicus. He refused to be taken to the Bellefonte hospital and after he was made as comfortable as possible he was taken to his home at Lyontown where he has been getting along as well as can be expected. FoLmMer ErLecTeEp COLONEL OF TWELFTH.—At a meeting of the line offi- cers of the Twelfth regiment.held in Sun- bury last Saturday, Capt. W. L. Folmer of Lewisburg, was elected colonel of the Twelfth regiment, N. G. P. Capt. Folmer and Col. H. S. Taylor, of this place, were the only candidates in the field and the former was chosen by a vote of 18 to 16. Col. Taylor, however, alleges that the election was made through intimidation and coercion and declares he will prefer charges against the guilty parties and demand an investigation and i crete i re-election. His allegation is that sev- eral members of the Guard kid- napped an officer who was pledged to him and kept him in their hands until time for the election when they marched him into the room and did not allow him away from them until had cast his vote for Folmer. The colonel, however, entirely exculpates Folmer from having anything to do in the matter. completed for the Meyer-McIntyre wed- ding, which will take place in the Pres- byterian church in Bellefonte sometime during the month of February.

Clarence Gibboney, the well known reform lawyer of Philadelphia, was in Bellefonte on Sunday evening and lectured in Petriken hall on “Civic Righteousness.” He ad- dressed two meetings in Philipsburg the same afternoon and was brought to Bellefonte by C. Y. Wagner in his auto- mobile. The party was late getting here, it being some time past seven o'clock, and the meeting which was set to begin at 7.30 did not open until 8.20. Notwith- standing this fact the hall was well filled with those either anxious or curious to hear the speaker. While Mr. Gibboney's speech was not entirely a political one, inferentially it was undoubtedly intended to help him in his campaign for the Lieu- tenant Governorship. But at that it was an able address in which the speaker very concisely told of the evils existing in such large cities as Philadelphia and the various reforms needed. He was listened to with very close attention, al- though he spoke ninety minutes. Mr. Gibboney left Bellefonte immediately after the meeting, having gone to Lock Haven by automobile to catch a mid- night train for Philadelphia. ——Dr. David S. Monroe, the veteran Methodist minister, has finally succumb- ed to a breakdown in health after over a half century of active work in the Mas- ter's vineyard and has been compelled to relinquish his pastoral work at New Cum- berland, Pa.

Dr. Mon- roe is probably one of the best known and during his entire life hardest work- ing ministers in the Central Pennsylva- nia conference. He was at one time pastor of the Bellefonte Methodist church, was presiding elder of the Altoona district and has filled so many appointments throughout the conference that he is probably better known than any minis- ter; and his hundreds of friends wish for him a few more years of a restful, peace- ful life. rying a number Pittsburgers passed through Bellefonte for State College. The gentlemen and ladies went up to be there for the Pennsylvania day exercises today. ——Mrs. W. A. Lyon, who was quite ill for a week or so, has practically re- covered her usual health.
