The recent great demand for small, well appointed apartments makes it look like an attractive business proposition. J { ° ‘He then spoke of the good done by the Y. M. C. A. and in closing made an ap- peal for financial help for the Bellefonte Association. A collection was taken up which amounted to $68.70, but Mr. Fran- cies said this was not enough and asked for further contributions or pledges. James H. Potter—of the Potter Hoy Hardware company, said the company would give $25 if five other men would give a like amount. For a time no one responded then Hon. A. G. Morris stated that he would give $50 if the Pot- ter—Hoy company and feur other men would give a like amount. Mr. Potter met the offer but no others responded and the gathering was dismissed. During the evening several selections were rendered by Mr. and Mrs. R. Rus- sel Blair and Mr. and Mrs. Norman K. Wright, with Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes pre- siding at the organ. ——There will be some changing around by the young lady clerks in Belle- fonte stores in the near future. Mrs. Grace Blackford Keefer will go to Joseph & Co. as cashier to succeed Miss Della Cross, while Misses Florence Lamb, Ed- na Koontz and Sarah Galbraith will go from the Joseph store to Miss Grace Marvin's new millinery depot on High street. Miss Mary Cooney will go from the dry goods to the millinery depart- ment in Katz's store and the position she vacates will be taken by Miss Julia Cur- tin, now in Robert Morris’ store. ——Earle C. Tuten has resigned his position as local editor of the Centre Democrat and yesterday morning left for DuBois where he has accepted a position as night editor on the DuBois Courier. Mr. Tuten has had a number of years experience in the newspaper business, first with the Daily News and Republican and later with the Centre Democrat, and his selection of DuBois as a new field of labor in the same line will give him a field for expansion such as he could not find in Bellefonte, and the WATCHMAN wishes him every success possible. AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE.—Louis Schad, the genial young clerk in the First National bank, had a very unpleas- ant experience a few nights ago. He went to the bank about seven o'clock in the evening and went into the ladies waiting room in the rear, pulling the door shut after him. At the time he failed to recall the fact that the steel door fastens with a spring lock and that the release knob was on the other side of the door. The young man did not have a key to the door either and the windows are covered with stout burglar proof iron bars. The result was that Louis was just as mucha prisoner as if he had been in jail. He knocked, kicked and yelled but no one heard him, Two hours or more passed until Paul Jones went into the bank about nine o'clock or thereabouts, when he heard thumping in the rear of the bank. Naturally Paul thought of bank robbers and, though he don’t admit it, it is quite likely he got hold of those two big revolvers he keeps for such emergencies, before he went on a tour of investigation. Peering into the presi- dent’s office he saw nothing but finally located the knocking as being on the steel door leading into the ladies waiting room. Of course it was useless to try to shoot through the door and so Paul de- manded to know who was there. He was considerably astonished when he recognized Leuie’s voice. He unfastened the door and it was a very crestfallen young man who walked out. Crestfallen because of his absent-mindedness in lock- ing himself in and also because by the time he got out it was too late to keep an engagement he was looking forward to early in the evening with a great deal of pleasure. SUPERVISORS TO ORGANIZE.—A call has been sent out from the bureau of town- ship highways for a meeting of the road supervisors of Centre county to be held in the court house, Bellefonte, at ten o'clock on Thursday morning of next week, to organize ajpermanent organiza- tion. Joseph W. Hunter, deputy State Highway Commissioner, is expected to be present. There are seventy-five supervi- sors in the twenty-five townships of Cen- tre county. THOMPSON COUNTRY HOME BURNED.— The country home of James I. Thomp- son at Centre Furnace was entirely de- stroyed by fire yesterday morning. The fire broke out on the third floor shortly after eight o'clock and was not discover- ed by any of the family until it had burn- ed through the roof. Word was tele- phoned to State College for assistance but by the time it arrived the house was almost burned to the ground. The family and neighbors succeeded in sav- ing most of their personal belongings and much of the furniture. The house was a comparatively new one, having been erected only eight or ten years ago, so that the loss is considerable. Both the house and furniture were heavily in- sured, so that the net loss will not be so great. The origin of the fire isa mystery. FLORIDA EXCURSIONISTS PLEASED—The Bellefonte contingent of the excursionists who went to Florida last week to look over the proposition made by the Labe County Land Owners Association seem to be favorably impressed with the con- ditions there, according to letters received in Bellefonte the past few days. The land offered for sale is in the northern part of the State and surrounds quite a large lake, which minimizes the tem- perature winter and summer. Mr. D. IL Willard, who made the trip as special in- vestigator and guest of the company, has sent home a very favorable report and several other Bellefonters will go down on the excursion which leaves on Tues- day of next week. THE PREACHER WALKED ALL NIGHT TO KEEP FROM FREZZING.—On Sunday night, March 1st, Rev. Runyan, of the Half Moon Methodist charge, held serv- ices at Scotia. At the close of the meet- ing the storm was at the top of its fury and those who were present tried to dis- suade the pastor from his intention of starting on the four mile journey home. He thought he could get through and started. When near the home of Miss Annie Gray his horse floundered into a huge snow drift and couldn’t ‘get out. When every effort to get through failed the pastor unhitched his animal, leaving the sleigh where it was, and made his way to the Gray barn where he found a stall for the horse. As Miss Gray was away from home he ‘could not get into the house himself so was compelled to retreat to the barn, where it was so bit- ter cold that he had to keep walking un- til daylight in order to keep from freez- i { i NOTICE TO MERCHANTS.—We are in- formed that certain stores in the town remain open on Sundays. We, there- fore, give notice that if this practice con- tinues that the said stores will be closed and dealt with according to law. EDMUND BLANCHARD, Burgess. { i i | i ial | verdict, and for that reason a new trial - Howard, transacted business in Bellefonte on | Court DEecisions.—Judge Ellis L. Orvis ' this week handed down an opinion and ! decree in the case of the Commonwealth vs. John Masarash, convicted at the De- | cember term of court of voluntary man- slaughter for the killing of Annie Duke, at a wedding celebration at Clarence. The court stated that in his opinion . counsel for the Commonwealth used un- due zeal in addressing the jury and some of the terms applied might have had an influence on the jury in determining the is granted. In the case of W. S. Budinger vs. Elmer Watson, the application for a new trial was refused. In the case of Lillie Dale vs. Willard Dale a new trial was also refused. Both are children of the late George Dale. After his death Lillie Dale presented a claim for $1,600 for taking care of her father during the last years of his life. Pay- ment was refused and she brought suit to recover that amount against the ex- ecutors, Willard and George Dale Jr. The jury returned a verdict in her favor which was afterwards set aside by the court on reserved points of law. The case was carried to the Supreme court which reversed the action of the lower court and allowed the verdict to stand. The plaintiff then brought suit to compel Willard Dale to pay the costs of the! former action. The jury decided that the costs should be paid out of the estate | and in his opinion and decree the court refuses the application for a new trial. | END OF CourT.—The February term | of court adjourned last Friday morning , after taking the verdict in the case of | George L. King vs. Frederick Eisenhour. | The plaintiff is in the real estate busi- | ness in Pittsburgh and makes a special- | ty of finding purchasers for hotel proper- | ties. The defendant owned a hotel at’ Munson and made sale of the same | through the efforts of the plaintiff. The | ‘commission was to be $1,000, but Eisen- hour refused payment. Suit was brought to recover the amount and the jury re- turned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $1,000. In the case of the W. T. Rawleigh Medical company, a corporation, vs. H. S. Taylor, A. E. Schad and E. T. Roan, which was to have been brought to trial, some of the important witnesses failed to appear and the case had to be con- tinued. ELK AT LARGE.—Game wardens re- port that of the twenty-five elk placed on the Centre county game preserve last fall five have been killed and the balance cannot be found. They were seen be- fore the deep snow and it is supposed they have found shelter in an opening and have commenced a “moving” in the deep snow, a practice they inherited from their ancestors in the wild west. This means that until the drifts are cleared away they will not be found. In Clearfield and Monroe counties the State elk turned out are all accounted for, but five have been killed in Centre county by the men who hunt for winter meat. The eighteen wandering about in the moun- tains of Clinton will get out in due time as the hard winter will not affect them. Those that have died contracted tuber- culosis on account of the low altitude. re - SWARTZ—UZZELL. — A quiet wedding took place at the Methodist parsonage in Snow Shoe, last Friday evening, when Miss Mabel Uzzell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Uzzell, of Snow Shoe, became the bride of Charles Swartz. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. R. F. Ruch and the young couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Swartz. Follow- ing the ceremony a delicious wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride’s parents. The bridegroom is a graduate of the Snow Shoe High school, class of 1911, and now holds a good posi- tion with the Electric Light company of that place. Both young people are quite popular in their home town and their many friends wish them a long and happy married life. ALLISON—REISH. — The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Keller, at Flemington, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Monday evening when their grand-daughter, Miss Savilla May Reish, was united in mar- riage to Robert Franklin Allison, of Nit- tany, this county.
