in Fatal Auto Accident.
Randolph Daggett Instantly Killed when
Machine Plunged Into Post. Accident
Happened when Party Was Re.
turning from Hecla Park.
Randolph Daggett, the third son of
landlord and Mrs. W. L. Daggett, of the
Bush house, was almost instantly killed,
and Charles Chandler, Frank Thomas and
Joseph Knisely injured on Tuesday night
in the first fatal automobile accident
to a Bellefonte party. The stories
of the unfortunate affair are rather
conflicting and it is
that the exact truth has not yet been
divulged.
The party was gotten up by Robert
Cole Jr. It appears that last Saturday
evening he came down from State Col-
lege and hired a car at Keichline’s gar-
When they returned and paid for the car
he engaged it for the next night, paying
in advance. For some reason he was
unable to take the trip at that time but
on Tuesday came to Bellefonte and that |
evening arranged for the trip to the
park, inviting Randolph Daggett, Frank |
Thomas and Joseph Knisely, a son of Mr. |
and Mrs. George Knisely, to go along as |
his guests. When the car was ordered '
at Keichline’s garage Will Keichline
asked his taxi driver, Charles Chandler, |
to make the trip. The latter at first de- |
murred but upon being urged to do so’
finally consented, and took a new Ford |
touring car received only a week or two
ago with which to make the trip. They
left Bellefonte about 8.30 o'clock in the
evening and got to the park without any
difficulty. They left the park on the re-
turn trip about 10.30 o'clock.
On the hill beyond the John Hines
place the car was stopped and while there
Thomas H. Harter’s car, containing him-
self, Dr. George P. Bible and Mrs. R.
Lyon, passed by. While none of the
party have so far admitted the fact it is
the general belief that the party under-
took to catch up with the Harter car and
were running at a high rate of speed
when they came down the hill near the
Hines home. At the foot of the hill there
is a fairly sharp reverse curve. The
driver made one all right but in taking
the other he got off the macadam into the
soft mud at the left of the road. The
car ran for a distance of from fifty tosixty
feet then side-swiped a telephone pole
with such a terrific impact that the top
was torn off, the tonneau knocked out of
position and the rear end of the car
thrown around to the right so that the
car plunged into the bank and broke off
a large fence post twenty feet from the
telephone pole. All the occupants of the
car were thrown out, Daggett being
thrown a distance of twelve feet and ap-
parently alighting on his head. So far
as can be learned Chandler was the first
one to recover his wits. He went to
Daggett and raised his head and his first
story was that the young man said “leave
me alone,” but later he stated that Dag-
gett did not speak, only groaned. Cole,
who escaped injury, started on a run
toward Bellefonte to the Lutz house for
the purposeof telephoning for help. In
the meantime Chandler got Thomas and
Knisely into the car and in attempting to
start it discovered that his left arm was
crushed between the wrist and the elbow,
By that time two men from Zion, on their
way home, arrived upon the scene and
Chandler asked them where he could get
toa telephone. They accompanied him
to the Corman farm house a third of a
mile away, and from there he telephoned
to the Bellefonte club for help.
Dr. Dale was the first to go down and
he picked up Cole at the Lutz home from
where he had telephoned. When the
doctor got there he found Daggett lying
on the ground and an examination re-
vealed the fact that he was dead, and
had probably been killed instantly, though
the exact cause has not been definitely
determined. Finding Chandler and
Thomas’ injuries the most serious the
doctor got them in the machine and
brought them to Bellefonte, leaving
Chandler at the Bellefonte club and tak-
ing Thomas to the hospital. In the mean-
time Dr. Hayes had been notified and he
also went down. William Keichline went
down in another car and Hard P. Harris
also went down, the latter bringing Ran-
dolph’s body home and Keichline bring-
ing Cole and Knisely.
In the excitement that night it was
feared some of the other young men were
fatally iniured but fortunately this is not
the case. Chandler has a crushed left
arm, a bad bruise across the abdomen
and a few scratches and bruises. Thomas’
left wrist is fractured, three fingers on
the right hand smashed, three ribs frac-
tured and slight cuts and bruises. Knisely
Hundreds of people motored
scene of the accident on Wednesday in
order to get a better impression of how
it happened. The car, of course, was
badly damaged but not put out of busi-
ness entirely as it was brought to Belle-
fonte Wednesday afternoon under its own
power.
The unfortunate accident has cast a
gloom all over Bellefonte. Randolph
Daggett, who was killed, was the third
son of Mr. and Mrs. Wells L. Daggett
and was born in this place on June 12th,
just possible
age to take a party down to Hecla park. |
Russell Blair, and driven by John P.|
+ 1896, so that he was not yet seventeen
years of age. In addition to attending the
| public school and Bellefonte Academy he
| spent a year at Staunton, Va., at school,
and a short time at Mercersburg. In
' addition to his parents he is survived by
. Frederick. Mrs. Daggett was in New
York at the time of the accident under-
going treatment for her health and did
not arrive home until Wednesday even-
ing. She was completely prostrated over
the sad news. The funeral will take
place this (Friday) afternoon at 2.30
' o'clock, burial to be made in the Union
cemetery.

| ~The three weeks special services

| orders for three Chalmers touring cars.
! One for Lawrence Redding, of the Moun-
tain house, Snow Shoe; one for M. D.
Kelley and one for John Kelley, also of
Snow Shoe, the cars to be delivered as
soon as possible. From present indica-
tions the year 1913 wili be a good one in
the automobile line in Bellefonte, as
| there are a number of prospective buy-
| ers of cars. The high price of gasoline
is the only drawback.

——The deal was closed yesterday

purchaser of the Philip Beezer home on
south Spring street, the price paid being
$9,000, Mr. Beezer reserving the barn
which he will remove from the premises.

there is likelihood of some very decided
improvements at the institution on the
hill.
~——Announcement was made in Ty-

quite well known in Bellefonte, having
frequently visited here. Mr. Woodle is a
son of Rev. and Mrs. Allen Shel-
don Woodle, of Narberth, graduated from

~——Mr. Tom Fleming, who, with the
exception of Mr. Louis Doll, is the oldest
shoemaker in town, has purchased the
repair department of the Yeager shoe
store, and will hereafter carry on the
business in his own name. For over
thirty years, or ever since the late John
Powers established the shoe store in the
Bush Arcade, Mr. Fleming had charge
of the repair work, and everyone of its
many customers know how well he has
filled the place. The fact that he is now
doing business in his own name will
neither lessen nor better the character of
the work that will be turned out for Tom
always did the best job that could be
turned out, and he can’t do better than
that now.
——Miss Harriet Elizabeth Ray's card
party last Friday evening was made the
occasion of the announcement of her
engagement to Raymond Harold Smith,

at the gatheringand it was after most of
the refreshments were served when the
announcement was made by distributing
to the guests pink carnations, to the stem
of each one being knotted two tiny pink
hearts, on one of which was the name of
Miss Ray and on the other the name of
Mr. Smith. Following the announcement
heart-shaped, strawberry colored ice
cream was served. The prospective bride
is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Sylvester D. Ray, is a graduate of the
Bellefonte High school and has a wide
circle of friends. Her fiance isa graduate
of State College class of 1910, in the
civil engineering course. For a year fol-
lowing his graduation he was in the

is in charge of some work at Allentown,
Pa. The date for the wedding has not

this year than last. This was the deci
sion of borough council at a regular
meeting Monday evening. That being
the time for fixing the water rate for the
ensuing year the Water committee, after
a lengthy consultation, recommended the
same rate as last year. Dr. Brockerhoff
stated that he was in favor of increasing
the rate on everything but meters. In
explanation he said that the borough's
yearly expenses were about three thous-
and dollars in excess of its receipts; that
all other taxes were about up to the limit
and the only place an increase of receipts
could be made would be on the water
tax. Five or six years ago a schedule of
rates was fixed for the water tax and the
rate since has been sixty per cent. of the
maximum. Dr. Brockerhoff made a mo-
tion that the rate be made ninety per
cent. of the maximum. Messrs. Yeager
and Judge contended that theincrease was
likely to prove a hardship to the small
consumer. After some discussion, how-
ever, Dr. Brockerhoff’s motion prevailed
and the increase was sanctioned.
Dr. A. W. Hafer was present and made
complaint about not having proper water
facilities at his home in the Sands block
on High street, alleging that the water
was wasted by those living on the lower
floor. Borough engineer Wetzel stated
that there is poor and leaky plumbing
and it is up to the landlord to remedy
the trouble.
William Beezer tendered his resigna-
tion as a policeman and upon recom-
mendation of the Fire and Police com-

a written communication, stated that

twelve inch pipe from the spring to their

ply can be secured from the borough
mains. Permission was granted on con-
dition that the same be removed at any
time upon the request of council.

J. Mac CurtiN's Success.—It is a
pleasure to note the success that has at-
tended J. Mac Curtin, eldest son of the
late Hon. H. R. Curtin, of Curtin. Ever
since his graduation from The Pennsyl-
vania State College in 1898 he has been
with the Westinghouse Co., and going up
steadily until he now occupies the im-
portant position of general manager of
the industrial and power department of
that great corporation. There are only
three department managers in it and
they rank next to the general officers, so
that it isnot a great step from Mack's
present position to that of the highest
office, which we should not be surprised
at all to see him occupy some day.
