count was made of the number of men and

mated at over five hundred. At six o'clock
in the morning just one hundred and sev-
en-two fishermen lined the pavement be-
tween the two bridges in this town. '
Of course every person who was out
did not catch trout, but the majority of

Spring creek, between the High and
Lamb street bridges, before nine o'clock

pany of that place could get their appa-
small part of their furniture.

Council's DoiNGs.—If the members ot
the Bellefonte borough council were paid
anything for their services to the town
they would not have earned their salaries
at Monday night's session, because it was
the most uninteresting held in months.
None of the committees had anything of
consequence to report.
C. T. Gerberich was present and stated
that he wanted to begin putting down a
new pavement along the Curtin property
on Allegheny St., of which he has charge,
but the curb there has so crumbled away
that it should be replaced with a new one,
and asked that something be done in the
matter. The Street committee and bor-
ough engineer were instructed to have it
attended to. The borough engineer was
also instructed to inspect the curb and

‘But the number that caught the limit
could probably be counted on one hand.
At that the catch was a phenomena! one |
and it is estimated that it would exceed
over one thousand trout. Of course it
was all because of the trout put in these |
streams from the Bellefonte hatchery last |
fall. They were accustomed to be fed
and naturally jumped at any kind of bait: |
These trout easily composed ninety per

lauded by the press for their high class
performance in “The Climatologers.”
They will be at Garman’s tomorrow night
and you'll miss a good thing if you fail to
hear them. Remember the Penn State
orchestra will give a half hour concert
before the regular performance.
——There are quite a number of good
singers among the Academy students and
the State Highway Department relative
| to the early completion of the state road
' through the town and that he had re-
| ceived a letter stating that they would
! push the job through as soon as possible.
! A motion was passed in effect that the
| Street committee and borough solicitor be
| required to have a conference withthe
| officials of the Bellefonte Electric com-
| pany and James Noonan regarding the
cent. of the catch. The native trout | they willall be heard in the performance | latter's claim for damages sustained by
were better and larger. Several of these | of the Academy minstrels at the opera! his wife in falling into a hole on the corner
were caught which measured in the neigh-
borhood of twenty inches and weighed
about three pounds.
A number of Bellefonters went down
to Fishing creek to try their luck, but did
not have very good success. The water
was high and clear and the trout wary.
Very few catches ran into two figures
while no large ones were made. Fishing
creek, however, as well as some of the
other mountain streams, will furnish
good sport and some trout after Spring
creck and Logan's branch have been lit-
erally fished to death.
THREATENED TO BLow OuT BRAINS.—
For just one instant on Monday morning
Harry Miller, of Willowbank street,
thought his end had come. Following
his failure and assignment of his grocery
store to G. Fred Musser his books were
put into the hands of an attorney for the
collection of accounts. Naturally state-
ments were sent to all those indebted to
the firm of R. P. Miller & Son. Monday
morning Charles Heisler went over to
Harry Millers on an errand and he and
Mr. Miller were standing just inside the
door when there was a sharp knock on
the outside. Mr. Miller opened the door
and stepped out onto the concrete walk
and Mr. Heisler followed. The knock
came from a man generally known as
“Ben” Beckwith, who lives out in Bush
Addition, and as Miller stepped past him
he jerked a revolver out of his pock-
et and with a fearful oath declared he
was going to blow out Miller's brains.
Fortunately Heisler was close to the man
and he knocked his arm down and grab-
bed him around the waist, pinioning his
arms to his sides. At the same instant
Miller grabbed the revolver and turning
the muzzle downward managed to wrest
it from the man’s hand and empty out
the cartridges. The man, however, pro-
duced more cartridges and declared he
had plenty left.
After he cooled down Beckwith
stated that he did not mean to shoot
Miller but only to scare him. He claim-
ed that the statement of the account
sent him was larger than his book show-
ed and he merely wanted to have the
mistake rectified. He further claimed
that when he pulled the revolver he
thought he was pulling his store book
from his pocket and got the revolver by
mistake. It is only fair to Beckwith to
state that he did pull his store book from
his pocket at the time he pulled the re-
volver but let it drop to the pavement.
Mr. Miller did not have the man arrest-
ed but he kept the revolver as a matter
of precaution.
CENTRE HALL HOTEL LICENSE GRANT-
ED.—On Wednesday morning Judge Ellis
L. Orvis handed down a decree granting
the application of James W. Runkle for a
liquor license at the Centre Hall hotel.
In his decree Judge Orvis stated that a
license would have been granted for this
hotel a year ago had it not been for a
technicality of law in the filing of the ap-
plication. That the remonstrants this
year averred that there was nothing to
be said against Mr. Runkle personally or
against the kind of a hotel he conducted,
but that inasmuch as he had run the
place the past year without a license, and
there was no reason why he should not
continue doing so, they asked that the
same be refused. On this point the court
stated that while it is true that Mr.
Runkle kept his hotel open the past year
for the accommodation of the traveling
public, he likely did it in the belief that
he would receive a license this year. And
further, there was no assurance that he
would continue to keep the hotel open if
he were not granted a license. For these
reasons and the fact that the court deem-
an automobile don’t think he'll neglect
the Scenic, for he won't. You'll find just
as good pictures there in as
you have in the past, and
of them, if the films hold
no such a word as retrograde in
Soenic dictionary.
house May 5th and 6th. The songs wil)
all be new and up-to-date while there will
be no worn out or worked over jokes. And
the best of all is that the whole thing is
to be one big athletic benefit and this
will be the very place to start the fund
for a baseball team this year.
——0On Wednesday Judge Orvis hand-
ed down a decree in the matter of the
application of Mrs. John Bayletts for the
placing of two of her children in some
home on the ground that they were in-
corrigible and beyond her control. The
children in question are two boys, John
Samuel Bayletts, twelve years old, and
Roy Everett, nine years old, and the court
ordered them taken to the house of ref-
uge at Glen Mills, Delaware county.
——The Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R.
has quite a treat in store for the people
of this community. Dr. Hugh P. Baker,
head of the forestry department at The
Pennsylvania State College, has kindly
consented to deliver an address on “The
Conservation of the Forests,” illustrated
with photographs he took on his recent
trip abroad and also some secured in
Washington. Through the generosity of
T. Clayton Brown the pictures will be
chown at the Scenic Friday, April 28th,
at four o'clock p. m. A nominal admis-
sion of five cents will be charged. Every-
body invited.
~—G. McC. Fry, of Ferguson town-
ship, lost a horse on Tuesday and the
fact makes him feel very much like quit-
ting the farm. He was in the field plow-
ing when one of his horses suddenly
dropped out of sight, leaving the other
horse, the plow and Mr. Fry standing on
the ground. The animal had dropped
into a large fissure in the limestone rock
and had gone down to a depth of over
twenty feet. It was so badly injured that
it was killed and the carcass buried in
the rocky cavern after the harness had
been recovered. As this is the third horse
Mr. Fry has lost in the past two years
in the same way it is not to be wondered
at that he feels like giving up farming.
oe
—Before the next issue of the
WATCHMAN reaches its readers Bert De-
lige will have paid with his life the pen-
alty for the hideous crime he committed
in the assault and murder of Mrs. John
Baudis on October 16th. Sheriff W. E.
Hurley has everything in readiness to
carry into execution the mandate of the
law and he will perform his duty un-
flinchingly. There will be no fuss of any
kind and the crowd who will be admit-
ted to the execution will include only
those required by law to be present, in
all not over two or three dozen people.
While the law requires that the execu-
tion shall take place any time between
man, of Port Matilda, who will take it to
the Delige home at Scotia where the fam-
ly will give it a decent burial on their
own little farm and one of the members
of the family has requested us to state
that the burial will be private.

Jim FINDLEY AGAIN IN TROUBLE—
James Findley, the man who a year or
80 ago carried off the pipe case in front
of Harry Otto'scigar storeand pool room,
who was arrested the same night and be-
cause the goods were all recovered sen-
home. He was brought to
‘of Bishop and Allegheny streets in time
| to make a report at next meeting.
| Water tax collector W. A. Ishler pre-
| sented his list of exonerations desired
| which amounted in all to about $175,00,
| and on motion of Mr. Grimm the same
| was allowed.
In order to get the matter on record the
| Street committee reported that viewers
| had been appointed on the High street
bridge proposition and that the same
| would be brought before the May term of
| court for action.
| Bills to the amount of $249.21 were ap-
proved and council adjourned.
BARNUM CIRCUS AT ALTOONA.—The
| people of Altoona and vicinity are to be

num and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth

ican circus-goers are promised. A com-

nent circus talent, principally European,

train more than a mile in length. It em-
ploys 1,286 people and has 700 horses. In
the menagerie are forty elephants and
over 1,000 other strange animals. The
show carries its own dynamos illuminat-
ing the twenty tents and the show grounds
with 4,000 incandescent lamps, arc lights,
search lights and beacons.
THE THESPIANS TOMORROW NIGHT.—
The people of Bellefonte cannot fail to
appreciate “The Climatologers,” this sea-
son’s play The Thespians of State College
will give in the opera house tomorrow
(Saturday) evening. It is a musical ex-
travaganza written by several of the stu-
dents around a plot conceived at a certain
house party held in Bellefonte the past
year, and interspersed with the very
latest and most catchy songs of the sea-
son—everything new and never heard in
Bellefonte before. To enable the mer-
