trimmed his raspberry bushes one day
this week and discovered quite a lot of
blossoms as well as green berries as large
as a pea, though there were no ripe
ones.
ACADEMY STUDENTS ARRESTED WiTH-
OUT WARRANT.—Twenty-five students of
the Bellefonte Academy were given a
hearing before justice of the peace Hen-
ry Brown last Saturday morning on
the charge of creating a disturbance on
the streets but there was no evidence
against them to justify the charge and
they were promptly discharged without
even a reprimand. The particulars of
the case are as follows:
On Wednesday of last week a local pi-
ano dealer delivered a piano to Mrs. Roy
Brandon, at her rooms on the second
floor of the Benner building. It being
impossible to take the instrument up the
stairway it was hoisted to the second
story by rope and tackle and taken in|
the window. While the work was in
progress twenty-five Academy students
were on the Diamond and in a joking
way called over to several young ladies
who were there at the time and asked if
they needed any assistance. Policeman
B _ezer happened along and told the boys
the Diamond and walked down to Bishop
street and continued on their way up to-
ward the Academy. They were natural-
ly joking and talking and singing snatch-
es of popular songs. Policeman Beezer
according to the evidence, went through
the Brockerhoff alley and up Spring
street to Brockerhoff’s corner where he
again told the boys they were making
too much noise. The boys contended
they were doing nothing out of the way
and the result was more or less of a dis-
cussion between the students and the po-
liceman until the latter called out Seidel
and Holmes, the only two he knew by
name, and told them they were under ar-
rest.
When headmaster James R. Hughes
heard of the affair he protested against
what he considered an unwarranted ac-
tion on the part ot the police and in or-
der that Seidel and Holmes should not
stand the blunt for the actions of the en-
tire crowd, if there were any offense com-
mitted, he voluntarily gave the names of
the other twenty-three and asked that
they also be held. At the hearing there
was no evidence to show that the boys
did anything out of the way while a num-
ber of witnesses testified to the fact that
they had done nothing unseemly and had
created no disturbance. 'Squire Brown,
therefore, promptly discharged them all
with ut even any costs of suit, etc.

MORE ABOUT THAT SPLASH BOARD.—
If borough solicitor J. Thomas Mitchell
tells borough council, at the regular meet-
ing next Monday evening, that they will
have the right to remove the splash!board
from the dam in Spring creek, if Gamble,
Gheen & Co. persist in their refusal to do
80, they will have more of it to remove
now than they would have had two weeks
ago. Because on Monday Mr. Gamble
had that portion of the strip which had
been torn off on the east end of the dam
replaced and now there is practically no
flow of water down the creek during the
day time.
The writer makes no pretense to know-
ing the law, but whether it is law or not,
it seems good common sense that no in-
dividual or firm has the right to divert
the entire flow of water from a stream—'
which is a public highway—to the disad-
vantage or menace of other property
owners contiguous to the stream;
whether the water is used for manufac-
turing purposes or otherwise. And if
the diverting of the water of Spring creek
by way of the mill race through the main
part of the town, to be returned to the
course of the creek only after the closely
built up district has been passed, is not
to the disadvantage or menace of the
people of that territory we would very
much like to know what would be. If
such a condition is allowed to continue
the borough authorities will some of
these times be called to task by a higher
authority and compelled to do something
to better or get rid of the condition of
Spring creek, as it exists when there is
no flow of water.
The WATCHMAN is not going into the
question of the legality of the splash
board, only it would appear to us to be
prima facia evidence that at the time it
was placed there eighteen years ago the
owners of the dam did not consider they
had the right to put it there, else why
did they go to council and ask permission
to do so and agree to the proviso of coun-
cil that the board he removed whenever
council requested it. But whatever action
is taken, there ought at least be some
flow of water down the creek during the
the day.
in Bellefonte last night. Miss Catharine
Willard was the “witch and hostess” at a
“ghost and ghostess” party given at her
parents’ home on Thomas street. Thir.
teen young lady guests were present and
their costumes very much resembled pil-
low cases and nightgowns, The refresh-
ments were in keeping with the celebra.
tion and appropriate little favors were
conferred. Other delightful little parties
were given by Mrs. Edward Gehret, Miss
Rachael Lambert and Miss Marie Sher.

Though one day late probably one of
the largest Hallowe'en gatherings will be
held this evening when Mrs. R. G. H.
Hayes will entertain the members of the
Westminister League. The League will
meet at the chapel, in costume en

to the Hayes home along the state road.
The hostess has prepared a very enter-
taining program for the evening.

——David F. Kapp, cashier of the First
National bank of State College, under-
went an operation for appendicitis in
the Blair Memorial hospital at Hunt-
ingdon last Friday evening. He stood
the operation fairly well but on ac-
count of his weakened physical condi-
tion it is impossible to say at this time
whether the operation will result in a
permanent recovery.
——The three men arrested in Jersey
Shore last week on the charge of being
the highwaymen who the Sunday previ-
ous held up and robbed W. A. Schreffler,

Haven, were identified by the latter and
have been held for trial at court. The
, men are Lee Williams, Charles Cupp and

George Walker, and their reputation is
said to be none of the best.
——If today is rather quiet in Belle-
fonte, with few people on the streets,
just remember, that it is the opening of
the hunting season for squirrel, rabbits,
quail, pheasants and wild turkeys, and
that about every American citizen who
owns a gun and could get away is out in
the woods after game. To get an idea of
how plentiful game is this fall take a
squint at the game bags of the various
hunters when they come home this even-
ing.
~—John Toner Harris, of Harrisburg, |
was twenty-six years old—or thereabouts
—on Tuesday, and his business as traffic
manager of the Bell Telephone company
of Pennsylvania having called him to Al-
| tion. Among the guests who were pres-
toona his friends there decided to cele-
brate the event. District superintendent
Elwood Mateer was master of ceremonies
and an impromptu banquet was held at
the Colonial hotel at which Mr. Harris
was given the chair of honor. A dozen |
or more guests were in attendance.
——The Panther hunting club held a
meeting at the Elks club last Thursday
evening and decided to make their an-
nual trip to the Alleghenies this year for
a two weeks deer hunt. They will goout
about November 13th and pitch their
camp on practically the same spot on
which they camped the past two years.
The personnel of the club has not been
fully made up, but there will be the usual
crowd of ten or a dozen. They will also
go prepared to hunt small game as well
as deer and bear.

——Belletonte motorists who travel to
or through Tyrone should heed the warn-
ing of the Altoona Motor club that, the
Tyrone authorities have set a trap, to
catch unwary automobilists who run over
twelve miles an hour through the town.
Altoona motorists have reason to know
whereof tney speak, as a number of them
have been arrested recently for excéed-
ing the speed limit in Tyrone and made
to come across with the long green for a
pretty stiff fine and costs. So when you
drive into Tyrone drive slowly.

——The big feature pictures at the
Scenic every Friday evening and the
Pathe weekly on Tuesday evenings are
attractions that widely advertise this
popular place of amusement. There is
no motion picture show in any town in
the State that is conducted in a more
up-to-date nianner, and gives its patrons
a better service for the five cent price of
admission than the Scenic. It is always
a leader, never an imitator. Nothing is
ever shown that will offend the most ex-
acting, so that parents never have any
hesitation in allowing their children to
attend.

——The Western Union telegraph com-
pany and the Bell Telephone company of
Pennsylvanir have made arrangements to
completely cover the election returns next
Tuesday night. That is the telephone
company will be open until late at night
to receive and handle the county returns,
while the Western Union will receive the
complete returns from all over the coun-
try. These rteurns will not only be fur-
nished to the general public in Bellefonte,
but to State College, Centre Hall, Spring
Mills and Millheim. The Bellefonte club
and the Elks have arranged for special
wires right into their houses for the pur-
pose of receiving the returns while both
the Democrats and Republicans will re.
ceive the complete returns at their head-
quarters, so that every facility will be
open to the public for getting the news.
——The rummage sale held by the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Bellefonte hos-
pital, in the Brockerhoff house on Spring
streel, came to an end last Saturday
evening after being open since noon of
the Saturday previous. The total receipts
were a little over $960. The proceeds
are to be devoted to equipping the pro-
posed new laundry with electrical laundry
machinery and as the ladies object was
to raise a fund of $1,000 they will gladly
receive cash or other donations from any-
one generous enough to contribute.
Everybody connected with the holding
of the sale not only contributed liberally
of various articles but gave their time
and a lot of hard work to the cause, and
they surely deserve the encouragement
of the public in general. A new laundry
for the hospital is as necessary a part
of the institution as a ward, and next to
having the laundry is its proper equip-
ment. Therefore the reason why those
interested should help the ladies in com-
pleting their one thousand dollar fund.
