JACOB JACKSON ARRESTED FOR STEALING
CHICKENS. —Jacob Jackson, of Lemont,
was in the Centre county jail, and John
Murray, aged seventy-six years, of the
same town, is under five hundred dollars
bail for stealing chickens.
Some time last Thursday the two men
hired a team from liveryman Evey at
State College and drove to Bellefonte.
They had supper and spent the evening
at the Haag house leaving along toward
midnight. About 320 o'clock Friday |
morning they returned to Bellefonte
with a bunch of chickens and drove to
Thompson's livery stable, where they had
their horse watered and fed. They then
went to the Haag house for breakfast. |
An hour or so later they got their rig!
and drove down street to L. H. Gettig’s |
butcher shop where Mr. Murray sold the
chickens—seventeen in all—for $6.00
and later in the day drove up Spring
creek home.
Along about noon on Friday Lewis C.
Marshall, a farmer living on the cross
road from Houserville to Buffalo Run
came to Bellefonte and made complaint
to the authorities that he had been rob-
bed of some chickens the night before,
and that he had fired two loads of shot
after the robbers as they got away in a
buggy. The police began an investiga- !
tion and it did not take long to unearth |
the fact that butcher Gettig, or rather |
the man who works for him, had that |
morning bought some chickens from
Jackson and Murray and that they had
been shipped to a commission house in
Altoona. Word was immediately tele-
phoned to Altoona that the chickens had
been stolen and they were returned on
the next train.
Early Saturday morning a warrant was
sworn out for the arrest of both Jackson
and Murray and the latter gave bail for
a hearing while the former was brought
to Bellefonte and put in jail. They were
given a hearing before "Squire Henry
Brown on Monday and at that time Mr-
Murray's testimony was in accord with
the above story with the exception that
he stated that when they left Bellefonte
they drove up past Roopsburg and that
at every barn they would stop, Jackson
would disappear for a few minutes and
when he returned would have his hands
full of chickens. He did not know the
names of any of the farmers until they
reached Marshalls. When Jackson came
away from the Marshall barn, he said, he
was running and quite excited and as
soon as he could do so jumped into the
buggy and drove rapidly away. It was
after they had started that the two shots
were fired. When asked why he went
into Gettig's to sell the chickens Mr.
Murray said that Jackson told him to go
because if he went himself “they might
think there was something underhand
about it.”
Jackson was heard in his own defense
and he admitted that what Mr. Murray
said must be true, but said that he did'nt
remember anything about it, as he was
likely drunk at the time. He admitted
that he had served time before for larce-
ny but maintained that he was innocent.
At the conclusion of the hearing "Squire
Brown fixed the amount of bail for Jack-
son at $700, and being unable to secure
the same he was committed to jail. Mur-
ray’s bail was fixed at $500 and he gave
bond for his appearance at court.
On Wednesday Jackson was taken in-
to court, plead guilty and was sentenced
by Judge Orvis to not less than nine
months nor more than three years in the
western penitentiary, and he was taken
to that institution yesterday by sheriff
Arthur B. Lee. In the meantime butcher
Gettig is out his six dollars and police-
man Harry Dukeman has the chickens.
Two Auto ACCIDENTS.—On Saturday
morning H. P. Ream, accompanied by
Bond White, a young son of Ellsworth
White, of Axe Mann, was driving out the
pike beyond Axe Mann when a large
touring car came along at a high rate of
speed, collided with the wagon and threw
both Mr. Ream and the boy out. The
latter was hurled under the auto and was
rolled along the ground a short distance
by the rear wheels of the machine. The
driver threw on his brakes and was able
to stop the car before it ran over the boy,
but at that he was badly bruised. The
car was from Ridgway and bore the
number X268.
One day last week John Hatton and
family, of Wilkes-Barre, came to Belle-
fonte in a Ford touring car to visit Mr.
and Mrs. G. W. Rees. On Saturday morn-
ing Mr. Hatton and Fred Rees got in the
car to take a spin. The former under-
took to turn around in the road in front
of the Rees home and backed through
the boardwalk and down over a twelve
foot stone wall and collided against the
cellar wall of Samuel Tressler's house.
Neither of the occupants had time to
jump and as the machine was all the time
right side up they were not thrown out
and were not hurt in any way. The
only damage to the machine was a slight-
ly bent fender.
——At a meeting of the board of
rectors of the First National bank
Bellefonte on Monday Lewis Schad,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schad,
selected from a list of twenty or
applicants to the clerical position in

——“Martin Chuzzlewit”
arrived in
i Bellefonte on the 8.30 train on Monday
evening but it was too late to be thrown
upon the screen in moving pictures at
the Scenic, and that is the reason the
usual program was given. Manager
Brown has continually experienced diffi-
culty in getting his feature films through
on time, and this time when it came too
late he sent it back.
——The Salvation Army intend holding
an outing in the Grove near Bellefonte.
Boys and girls of the poorer sections of
town can get a ticket by applying to |
Capt. Bowie. There will be plenty of ice
cream and lemonade for all and any not
able to bring their dinner will be supplied
by the officers of the army. Prizes will |
be awarded to the Sunday school schol-
ars of the Army for their attendance at
Sunday school. A free will offering was
taken at the Diamond last Saturday to
help defray expenses. A Salvationist
will be stationed at the corner again next
Saturday with a collection box and all
contributions will be cheerfully received
either in thebox or by mail. * *
——Samuel Spicer, of Tyrone,was in the
Centre county jail because he refused to
settle a livery bill with Frank P. Bartley.
On Sunday he hired a rig from Bartley
to attend a funeral at Runville. When
he returned he told Mr. Bartley that he
might go home on the 4.44 train but if
he did not he would like the rig after
supper for his wife to take a drive. He
didn’t go home and after supper telephon-
ed for the rig. It was sent around by a
boy who had instructions to collect in
advance, but while he and Spicer were
parleying over the matter the women
jumped in the rig and drove off. When
the rig was finally returned Spicer re-
fused to pay, declaring that he had hired
it for the day. He was arrested and in |
default of bail was bound over for court,
but on Wednesday his father came to
town and settled the bill and Samuel was
discharged.

RAILROAD ComMISSION VISITS BELLE-
FONTE.—The State Railroad Commission
composed of Nathan Ewing, chairman, of
Uniontown; Milton J. Brecht, Lancaster;
former Governor Samuel W. Pennypack-
er; John P. Dahony, marshall, of Har-
risburg, and A. R. Miller, secretary,
of Harrisburg, visited Bellefonte last Fri-
day evening to hear the complaint of the
Empire Lime company against the Cen:
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania for alleged
discrimination in freight rates. The coni+
plaint is based on the fact that the rail
road company has been charging them
higher rates for hauling cars from their
quarries east of Bellefonte than they
charge for shifting from the Morris quar-
ries along the state road. Considerable
testimony was heard after which the
Commission took the question under con-
sideration but so far have rendered no
decision.
WORK BEGUN ON SPRING MILLS MILK
CONDENSARY.—On Tuesday of last week
the Spring Mills Condensary company
began operations on the erection of their
plant at Spring Mills. They recently
purchased from C. P. Long the lot on
which the planing mill now stands, which
is 350 by 150 feet in size. They also
purchased the building formerly used by
the Wilson brothers as a skimming sta-
tion. This room is equipped with all the
necessary machinery and fixtures, and
adjoining it has been erected a boiler
and engine room which has been equip
ped with a thirty horse power engine,
The main building will be 164x96 feet in
size with an annex 60x40 feet. It will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as possi-
ble and when finished will be equipped
with all the latest improved machinery.
The building operations are under the su-
pervision of L. F. Miller, of the Mill Hall
Condensary company. The company be-
gan buying milk on Monday and when
the plant is completed and in operation
they will employ about forty men.
TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.—In order
to have its plant in the very best condi-
tion when the new common battery cen-
tral office is opened, the Bell Telephone
expects to start to work at once on new
construction and rearrangements on a
great deal of its outside wire. It is ex-
pected that the new office will be open-
ed about December 1st. According to
W. S. Mallalieu, local manager, the com-
pany is anxious to have everything in
such shape that Bellefonte will have a
telephone service second to no other city
of its size in the country. Much of the
overhead wiring will be replaced by ca-
ble. Altogether over 12,200 feet of cable
will be placed and in addition there will
be about 265 feet of underground cable.
‘The placing of the wires in cable in
which from 25 to 200 or 300 wires are
grouped together and sheathed in a lead
coat, provides a much better and more
certain service as there is no danger of
trouble from storms and wind. In addi-
tion there will be a great deal of re-wir-
ing in order to provide for the semi-se-
lective ringing which, it is believed, will
greatly please the subscribers. The total
cost of this new construction will amount
it is said, to over $11,000.
The company will, it is promised, fol-
‘low up its other work in this vicinity
with the entire rebuilding of toll lines be-
tween Lewistown and Bellefonte, a dis-
tance of about thirty miles.
book and premium list for the thirteenth
annual exhibition of the Centre County
Agricultural Exhibiting company, which
will be held in Bellefonte September 3rd
| to 6th, is now being distributed among
| the farmers and others of Centre county.
| Two weeks ago the WATCHMAN told you
about the increase in the amount of the
purses this year, and if you will now
study the premium list closely you will
see where there have been a number of
increases in premiums, as well as pre-
miums offered for articles not heretofore
listed. Everything raised or grown on the
farm; all kinds of fancy and needle work;
every product of the thrifty housewife’s
kitchen, in the line of baking, cooking,
preserving, etc., is entitled to a premium,
if it merits it. Therefore if you have any-
thing excellent or superior, bring it in the
first day of the fair and place it on exhi-
bition. It will mean money in your pock-
et, and help make the fair the success it
promises to be.
It might here be stated that the way
the program has been arranged for this
year every day should be a big day. The
racing on Wednesday will be as good if
not better than on any other day. So
don’t wait until Thursday. Come in on
Wednesday when all the exhibits are at
their best, the day when the premiums
will be announced; when the fast 2.12
race will be pulled off, and you will not
regret it. There will be lots of doin's
the whole week and if you miss one day
of the fair you'll miss a good and inter-
esting time.
——The Sunday schools of Buffalo Run
and Halfmoon valleys propose holding a
general picnic in the grove adjoining Mr.
noon, at which a very large attendance
is looked for, and a general good time
expected. Those who want to enjoy a

bors should be sure to go.

—Miss E. M. Thomas, who hasbeen spending
the greater part of the summer traveling through
the west, will arrive in Bellefonte this week, and
while here will live with Dr. Edith Schad, on
Spring street. Miss Thomas and Mrs. Breese,
left the east for the Yosemite valley about six
weeks ago, and from there went to the coast, the
return trip being made over the Canadian Pacific
and included stops at all places of interest in the
Dominion along this road.
—An always welcome and pleasant visitor to
the WATCHMAN office is Mrs. Mary N. Dolan, of
Pleasant Gap, who never fails to know just how
the tab on her paper stands, and never fails to
keep it so that this establishment is continuously
in her debt. On Saturday last she found time to
do a little shopping in town, and to call on some
friends but was sureto know that the figures on
her paper were advanced for over a year before
undertaking anything else. If everybody was as
prompt as Mrs. Dolan in attending to their busi-
ness arrangements, collectors, justices of the
peace, lawyers, and those who make a living in
keeping the affairs of others straightened up,
would have to find a different calling pretty
quick, or be content with smaller incomes than
some of them now have.
