| FARMER SHOOTS HIMSELF WITH SUICIDAL
INTENT.—Jacob Calvin Sunday, a well
known and prominent farmer of west
Ferguson township, shot himself in the
head on Monday evening and though he
is living at this writing there is only one
chance in ten of his recovery, as the bul-
let is lodged in his head. Sunday owns
and liveson a fine farm a half mile
south of Pennsylvania Furnace, at the
foot of Tussey mountain. He had not
been in good health for some time and
lately had suffered several attacks of
vertigo.
On Monday afternoon he delivered
some milk to the Baileyville creamery
and later went to W. S. Ward's general
store to make some purchases for his
home. It was almost five o'clock when
he left the store and weni out to his
buggy, which was sti.ding a short dis-
tance from the store. A few minutes
later several boys passing that way saw
Sunday lying on the ground face down-
ward and told some men in the store.
They went out and it was at once dis-
covered that the man was unconscious
and it was supposed he had been seized
with another spell of vertigo and fallen
to the ground. There was blood on his
head but it was at first believed that it
came from a cut by striking his head on
a stone. The attempt at suicide, how-
ever, was discovered when a boy went
out to the buggy to get Sunday's hat and
found the revolver, one of 32 calibre,
lying on the ground.
With this evidence in their possession
it was very apparent to the men in the
store what had happened and Dr. Houser,
of Pennsylvania Furnace, and Woods, of
Pine Grove Mills, were hastily summoned.
An examination by them showed that
the bullet had penetrated the head about
two inches above and a little back of the
right ear and passing through the brain
lodged against the skull bone on the left
side of the head. No attempt was made
to remove it as it was not believed Sun-
day would live an hour. But he did and
late that evening he was carried on a
stretcher the distance of almost two miles
to his home.
Mr. Sunday is well situated financial.
ly, has a pleasant home, a wife and four
children, and the only explanation for his
rash act is that it was committed while
temporarily deranged as the result of his
illness. His mother is still living at Rock
Springs and he has five brothers, Elmer,
Luther, George, Rev. Orrie Sunday, of
Newport, and Rev. William Sunday, of
New Bethlehem. The latter is well
known in Bellefonte as he was one of the
stars on the Susquehanna University
baseball team and three years ago played
second base and captained the Bellefonte
team of the Central Pennsylvania league.
TrOUT SEASON OPENS NEXT MONDAY.
—Next Monday, April 15th, will mark
the opening of the trout fishing season
and while there will likely be the usual
crowd of fishermen out to try their luck
the enthusiastic anticipation of the open-
ing day is not as manifest hereabouts as
it was last year when Spring creek and
Logan's Branch were thickly populated
with trout planted two months previous
from the Bellefonte fish hatchery. This
year fishermen will have to take every-
thing on faith. The water has been so
high and cloudy all spring that there‘has
been no opportunity to see whether there
are any trout in the streams or not, and
the only way to find out on Monday will
be to go out and try your luck. Owing
to the high and cloudy waters fly fishing
will be impossible only in some of the
smaller mountain streams, and most fish-
ermen will be compelled to use bait.
Monday's catch will also depend some-
what on the weather conditions of that
morning.
As a comparison between this and for-
mer years the WATCHMAN would like an
accurate report of the catch on the open-
ing day and the editor will consider ita
favor if fishermen hand us a report of
their catch, either personally or by tele-
phone, a
Back BROKEN.—On Monday morning
George Katen, of Chester Hill, and David
Burton, of Hudson, employees at the
Philipsburg fire brick works, met with a
very serious accident. They were in the
act of making repairs to one of the large
pans, when a heavy piece of casting con-
nected with the same gave way and fell
on them. Both men, who have families,
were removed to the Cottage hospital
at Philipsburg and an examination reveal-
ed the sad fact that Mr. Katen’s back
was broken, while Mr. Burton escaped
with several broken ribs. Mr. Katen’s
condition is naturally very serious, yet it
is possible he may recover. Unless oth-
er complications develop, Mr. Burton
will likely have a speedy recovery.
EASTER IN THE CHURCHES.—All the
churches in Bellefonte had special pro-
grams of sermons and music; and the
decorations were if anything more elabo-
rate than in former years. The eleven
o'clock services in St. John’s Episcopal
church were entirely musical. There
were no services therein the evening and
a number of the choir joined with the
choir at the Presbyterian church in their
Easter music service. Holy communion
was celebrated in the Presbyterian church
in the morning and sixteen persons taken
into membership, Beautiful Easter serv-
ices were also held in the Methodist
Episcopal, Reformed and all other
churches in Bellefonte.

—State College opened for the spring
term on Wednesday after being closed a
' week for the Easter vacation.
| Were Known FERGUSON Townsup | ——The State College Thespians will
not introduce either the turkey trot, the
bunny hug or the bear dance at their en-
tertainment on Saturday evening, but
they will have a chorus of very graceful
dancers, nevertheless, and this feature
alone is worth going to see. The tickets
have been going fast since the chart was
opened but there are still a number of
good seats left, and you had better re-
serve yours today.
——The Ladies’ Aid society of the Pres-
byterian church will hold a series of
weekly exchanges, beginning on Satur-
day afternoon, April 13th, at two o'clock,
and continue for a month or longer. The
exchanges will be held in G. R. Spigel-
myer’s store on Allegheny street, where
each Saturday afternoon everything eat-
able of the good home-made variety will
be sold, including bread, rolls, pies, cakes,
candy, etc., especially prepared for Sun-
day use. Watch for their fine line on
Saturday afternoon.
——This is the twelfth day of April and
so far few farmers in Centre county have
done much spring plowing. The weather
last fall and during the early spring was
such that it was impossible to do any
farm work until within the past week,
and as it is the ground has been too wet
for good work. Because of this fact all
few days of nice weather have started
the wheat fields to growing and from
tle damage during the severe winter.

——Easter was not a very auspicious
day for the display of spring hats and
dresses. Rainy and wet in the morning
and fore part of the afternoon, toward
evening it blew up cold and stormy and
at dusk the snow flakes were flying. Not-
withstanding this fact, however, quite a
number of Bellefonte ladies sallied forth
to church in their Easter finery. Mon.
day morning showed a decided change in
temperature, the thermometer being sev-
eral degrees below freezing point and the
ground frozen hard. More spring-like
weather has prevailed since.

——Every voter in Centre county
ought to attend the primaries tomorrow
and every man, woman and child in
Bellefonte will find good entertainment
at the Scenic every night. Manager T.
Clayton Brown makes it a specialty to
present a good program each evening,
and some evenings an extra feature film
of more than usual interest. The repu-
tation of the Scenic is so well established
that it is hardly necessary to attempt to
influence the public patronage. Every.
body goes there une time or another, but
it is by not attending regularly that you
are liable to miss something of unusual
interest.
——A constant reader of the WATCH;
MAN asked the writer a day or two ago
as to what had become of the Bellefonte
Board of Trade? Such an organization
was perfected some months ago but so
1ar there is no outward indication of any-
thing having been done towards securing
new industries for the town er booming
business in any way. And goodness
knows, there never was a time when
Bellefonte was in greater need of some-
thing to stir it up. Even the Easter bus-
iness this year was not up to that of for-
mer years. At the present time the lime
and limestone industries are the only
ones of any magnitude in this section
and they are not all in full operation.

——A. A. Dale Esq., has accepted an
invitation to deliver the Memorial day
address at Bradford, McKean county.
Last year Mr. Dale delivered the address
at Clearfield and a member of the Brad-
ford Post was present and heard him,
and he was so favorably impressed with
the address that it was through his sug-
gestion and influence the invitatation was
extended. The old saw that “a prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country,” does not correctly apply to Mr.
Dale. Several years ago he delivered the
Memorial day address in Bellefonte
and it was one of the most scholarly and
impressive addresses ever heard here, so
that we can assure our Bradford friends
that they will hear something fine.

ACADEMY MINSTRELS.—The Bellefonte
Academy minstrels are practicing every
evening for the performance they will
give in the opera house the first or sec-
ond week of May, the exact date not yet
having been fixed. Everybody in Belle-
fonte knows that these performances in
past years have been excellent and this
year will be no exception. Between forty-
five and fifty young men will take part
in the performance and this assures some-
thing good. Then the object for which
the entertainment will be given is a
worthy one. It is to defray the expense
of building a one-fifth mile track on
Hughes field, the work on which is now
being done by contractor R. B. Taylor.
Therefore, it is up to the people of the
town to patronize the minstrels,
STOUT.—Mrs. Amelia Stout, widow of
the late Farley Stout and a sister of
James DeHaas, of Beech Creek, died at
her home in Lock Haven on Sunday

age and was born in lower Bald Eagle
valley. Up until her recent three weeks
illness she was a remarkably weil pre-
served woman and in full possession of
all her faculties. She is survived by five
children, her husband dying thirteen
years ago. Burial was made in the

GEORGE GRIMM TO LEAVE BELLEFONTE.
~George Grimm has resigned as super-
intendent of the Nittany Iron company
and will leave Bellefonte the first of May
for Punxsutawney to accept the position '
of superintendent of the furnace of the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal
and Iron company, a position made va-
cant by the transfer of John Kennedy,
who has been in charge of the above
| plant to the Buffalo and Susquehanna
plant, at Buffalo, N. Y.
| the Rogers, Brown & Co. management.
Mr. Grimm first came to Bellefonte
| thirteen years ago as furnaceman for the
| old Empire Steel company. After being
‘here one year he went to Columbus,
| Ohio, where he remained two years then
' returned to Bellefonte as superintendent
| of the Nittany Iron company, a position
he has held ever since. He has a thor-
ough knowledge of the iron making busi-
ness and is well qualified for the position
to which he has been appointed. During
his residence in Bellefonte he has taken
jan active interest in every movement
' that was for the good of the town. He
(isa member and trustee of the Meth-
| odist church, a prominent Mason and
| Knights Templar, being a Sir Eminent
| Commander of the latter order; is a
member of the town council and chair-
man of the Water committee.
His departure from Bellefonte will
come as a surprise to his many friends.
| When he received the offer to become
| superintendent of the furnace at Punxsu-
tawney he gave it due consideration then
tendered his resignation to the Nittany
Iron company. The resignation was ac-
cepted several days ago to take effect
May first, on which date he will leave
Bellefonte. If he can secure a house in
Punxsutawney he will move his family
there at that time, otherwise they will go
just as soon as a house can be secured.
We know of few men who have left
Bellefonte whose going has been the
cause of as general regret as will be that
of George Grimm. In almost every cir-
cle of the life of our town he has been so
well known as to make his departure a
matter of more than passing conse-
quence. As superintendent of the Nit-
tany Iron company he has been identified
with the big business interests of our
community for years. He was the one
man inour council who took seriously
and dignified what had previously
been a “Joke” committee. As chairman
of the Village Improvement committee
Mr Grimm found himself placed in a po-
sition where his activities really could be
made felt and he made the place stand
for so much that his leaving is really a
loss to the civic welfare of our commu-
nity. While we regret Mr. Grimm's de~
parture very much indeed we wish him
and his charming family a full measure
of happiness and success in their new
home.
A NEW GANISTER ROCK INDUSTRY.—
When Charles Schad bought a tract of
land on top of the Bald Eagle mountain,
planted a peach orchard, built himself a
home there and went into the chicken
and hog raising business, it is unlikely he
had vision of anything else. But some
time ago he discovered a good vein of
ganister rock on his land and he is now
attempting to turn it into cash. The un-
dertaking was a little too much for him
alone so he associated with himself J.
Thomas Mitchell and Frank H. Clemson,
and the three of them now have the rock
on the move. The vein of rock is located
right on the high point of the mountain
east of the McCoy-Linn iron works and
to facilitate the handling of the stone a
long chute has been built from the
top of the mountain down to the
bottom by the state road. There the
stone is loaded on carts and hauled to a
dump on the McCoy & Linn siding of the
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania. The
rock is shipped to Pittsburg where it is
used for furnace flux. To facilitate load-
ing the stone a siding is to be built
into the foot of the mountain at the bot-
tom of the big chute.

A SCHOLARSHIP AT STATE COLLEGE.—
Centre county is entitled to one of the
five McAllister Freshmen scholarships at
The Pennsylvania State College for the
year beginning in September, 1912. The
scholarship carries with it a rebate of
dormitory fees, room rent and inciden-
tals to the amount of $85.00 and is valid
for one year. At the expiration of that
time the holder will be eligible to one of
the four Mrs. Louise Carnegie scholar-
ships and the John W. White scholarships
assigned to members of the three upper
classes on a basis of scholarship, charac-
ter and need. A competitive examination
for the McAllister scholarship will be
held at the College under the direction of
the faculty on June 13th and 14th. The
subjects in which candidates will be ex-
amined are English grammar, composi-
tion, American history, Academic algebra
and plain geometery. For further partic-
ulars inquire of or address the Registrar
of the College.
A St ——
At THE HOSPITAL.— Louis Schad was
taken to the Bellefonte hospital last Sat-
urday and operated on for appendicitis,
The case was one of the worst the physi-
cians ever encountered and the patient is
still in a dangerous condition, though he
was resting a little easier yesterday.
Other operations were Mrs. Elizabeth
Rishel, Bellefonte; Fred Shultz, Miles-
burg, and Fannie Walker, of Yarnell,
Mrs. H. S. Taylor and Mrs. Della Keeler,
