section in years.
——While learning to ride a bicycle
one day last week Lois Foreman, daugh-
ter of prothonotary and Mrs. D. R. Fore-

to the house ever since.
—J. M. Keichline, agent for the
Northern Insurance Co., of New York,
on June 30th, 1914, delivered a check for
$1,000.00 to F. E. Naginey for insurance

by fire on June 20th, 1914.

Bellefonte markets are of good quality.
——1J. A. Shull, of Millheim, last week

Clearfield and also a real estate invest-
ment he recently made at Curwensville.
——On Monday evening Mrs. F. Potts

wrench dislocated the arm at the shoul-
der." Though quite painful at the time
she is now getting along nicely.
——Only three weeks more of that
contest to win the Premo Juvenile auto-
mobile, now on exhibition in G. R. Spigel-
myer’s store window. And its up to the

selling Gold Coin flour. The contest is
now on but there is still plenty of time
to be a winner. Get an order blank from
G. R. Danenhower & Son and start out
today.
——Did you read the opening install-
ment of “The Story of Waitstill Baxter,”
in last week's WATCHMAN? If not hunt
up the paper and read it, then follow it
up with the installment in today’s paper.
You will find it interesting enough that
you won’t want to miss a chapter. The
story is by Kate Douglass Wiggin and
her reputation as a clever writer is in-
ternational.
——The fifth annual summer course
for teachers opened at State College on
Tuesday with an enrollment of over
eight hundred, and it would not be sur-
prising if the number reached a thousand
before the end of the week. They come
from most every county in the State and
with a determination to get the most
they can out of the six weeks. A valuable
corps of instructors has been secured
for the course.
: ARRESTED FOR MISAPPROPRIATING
MoNEY.—]. Homer Decker, secretary of
| the Bellefonte Lodge of Moose, was ar-
i rested on Tuesday of last week for mis-
! appropriating money belonging to that
‘corporation and when time came for a
hearing before Squire W. H. Musser, at
three o'clock Monday afternoon, he fail-
ed to appear and the ’Squire declared his
| recognizance forfeited. R. Russell Blair
is his bondsman. The information on
which Decker was arrested was sworn
, out before ’Squire Musser and is as fol-

charteread by the Supreme LodgeL. O. O. M.,
{ incorporated under the laws of Indiana, did at
sundry times since February 10th, 1910, and June
6th, 1914, take fraudulently, convert and apply to
his own use, or the use of some other person,cer-
tain moneys belonging to said L. O. 0. M., No. 206,
the said J. H. Decker being an officer of the said
corporation, aggregating about $2,500, as appro-
priated or converted to his (J. H. Decker’s) use
between said dates.

The shortage in money was discovered
a month or more ago and Harry R. Bush,
of McKeesport, auditor for the Supreme
Lodge working out of Jefferson, Ind,
came here and made a complete audit of
the books and accounts. While the
amount of shortage is given as $2,500,
Mr. Bush has intimated that it may run
in excess of that amount. As secretary of
the Lodge Mr. Decker is under bond for
a certain amount with a regularly corpor-
ated bonding company and Mr. Bush has
also entered proceedings to recover on
his bond.
When Decker failed to appear for a
hearing on Monday afternoon and his
recognizance was declared forfeited his
bondsman was at once notified,and short-
ly afterwards he received a telegram
from Mr. Decker, dated New York city,
in which he said “Impossible to be home
before Thursday.” In the meantime no
action has been taken against his tem-
porary bondsman.
Mr. Decker wads naturally expected
home yesterday but he did not return on
either the morning or noon trains.
Legal proceedings have been held in
abeyance since his telegram from New
York was received on Monday, but they
will hardly be held over much longer.
Mr. Decker’s friends express consider-
able sympathy for him over the troubie
he has:gotten himself into, as they do
not believe he appropriated the money to
his own personal use,but was led to invest
it in some mythical Mexican proposition
in accordance with an alluring offer
made by a company which has headquar-
ters in New York. And it is the prevail-
ing belief that his mission to New York
last week and this was for the purpose of
realizing on his investments, if it were
possible to do so. Just what luck he will
have is problematical, but there are some
who cling to the hope that he will be suc-
cessful. But even if he should be it will
not relieve him of the crimmal responsi-
bility of misappropriating the money,
though it may mitigate the action of the
court if he is brought to trial.

NITTANY FURNACE PROPERTY SOLD.—
All the property, real, personal and mix-
ed of the Nittany Iron company was sold
at public sale, at the court house on Sat-
urday afternoon, for $23,000. It was
purchased by F. L. Crosley for the bond-
holders. At the bidding by separate
lots the office buildings and furni-
ture were purchased by Frank E. Nagi-
ney for $155, while the scale office and
laboratory building and contents were
sold for $50. The balance of the proper-
ty was first sold in the same way but
brought only $17,700. It was then put
up in its entirety and knocked down at
$23,000.
Immediately following the sale of the
furnace. property the Nittany Valley
railroad was put up for sale, attorney
Gibbs, for the stockholders, reserving the
right to reject any and all bids. The
property was first put up in three lots,
the bids aggregating $4,700. It was then
put up as an entirety but $7,000 being
the highest bid received Mr. Gibbs stated
that it was not enough and the sale was
declared off. Between fifty and seventy-
five furnace-men and junk dealers were
here for the sale, but none of them got
any of the property.

No Cur-RATE TICKETS.—A rumor is
abroad to the effect that there will be a
reduction in the price of the Chautau-
qua season tickets. This is positively in-
correct. The price for grown-ups is $2.00;
for juniors $1.00, until the opening of the
session when they will be $2.50 per tick-
et, the extra amount going to the Chau-
tauqua, not to Bellefonte guarantors.
There will be no gift tickets for the
Chautauqua except as people pay for
tickets and distribute them. The Chau-
tauqua association gives passes to none
of its helpers.
The Y. M. C. A. is headquarters for
Chautauqua. Miss Overton and Mrs.
Warfield will spend all of Monday, July
6th, at the Y. M. G. A, selling the re-
mainder of the tickets. This will be the
last opportunity to secure season tickets
at the low price of $2.00 and $1.00.
——The WATCHMAN office employees
i will take their mid-summer vacation next

The office, however, will be open every
day for the transaction of business, and
our friends are always welcome.

difficult to destroy. That is the icason
the Scenic enjoys the large patronage it
has among residents of Bellefonte. They
have confidence in its management and
confidence in the character of its pro-
grams. Nothing is shown that will in the
least offend good taste or corrupt morals.

a wide enough variation to suit the large

——Last week the discovery was made
that the small sewer pipe on Lamb street
had become clogged and all efforts to flush
it clean with water proved unavailing.
In fact it was finally found necessary to
dig up a hundred or more feet of the
pipe in order to get it opened up. This
is the second time within a year that this
pipe has clogged and one reason is
probably because being only six inches
in diameter it is not large enough to
carry away the sewerage emptied into it.
——On Wednesday the Western Union
telegraph office was moved from the
office of the Bell Telephone of Pennsyl-
vania to the room in the basement of the
Garman building on High street, next
door to Thal’s grocery. Harry Garber,
who has been in charge the past five
months, has resigned as manager owing
to having something else better in view
and A.C. Lehmer, of Harrisburg, has
been put in charge temporarily. John
Garman has been secured as messenger
boy.
——Inadvertently we omitted to men-
tion the fact that among the recent grad-
uates from the Philadelphia School of
of Pharmacy was James A. Fox, son of
Mrs. Joseph Fox, of this place, whose
standing in his class was excellent. He
is now in charge of a large drug store at
the corner of Thirteenth and Spruce
streets, Philadelphia, where he will be
during the summer, at least. James is a
bright young man and his many friends
are glad to see him already located in 2a |
good position. !
——The railroad telegraph tower in
this place is being enlarged by building
an extension of two feet on the east side.
This is being done in order to afford |
space for a student to learn the business.
A good railroad operator must not only
know telegraphy and have good hearing
for the telephone, but he must under-
stand all the signals, the use of the block
system, control of the various levers,
etc., and for this reason the railroad com-
pany prefers taking a young man and
teaching him the system thoroughly.

——Wahile on his way to State College
to attend the summer course for teach-
ers J. Z. Sloan, principal of the public
schools at Heilwood, run down Mrs. La-
vina Spanogle, of Philipsburg, on Mon-
day, with his motor car. At first it was
believed the woman was fatally injured
but she is now much improved and her
recovery is expected. Mrs. Spanogle was
watching a car coming in an opposite di-
rection and walked right in front of
Sloan’s car. Sloan was arrested and gave
bail in the sum of $300 to appear when
wanted.
——The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
are figuring on some plan to eliminate
the blocking of the High street crossing
at train times. One plan suggested is to
use the track east of the station as the
main line track. To do this would ne-
cessitate paving the intervening space
with brick and also the probable build-
ing of a train shed, as the track is so
far from the station building that it
would be an injustice to require passen-
gers to go that distance through rain and
snow. However, the company will like-
ly give as good accommodation as pos-
sible.
——Some days ago A. A. Dale Esq,
went to Howard township to survey the
boundary lines of Sand Hill cemetery
and while he was there workmen were
pulling out bastard pine trees, in order to
clean up the cemetery. In uprooting
one they uncovered a peculiar looking
stone, about eight inches long and five
in circumference, and worn perfectly
smooth. He immediately recognized it
as an Indian “pestle,” or grinding stone,
used in grinding wheat into flour and
corn into meal. Mr. Dale did not look
for any other Indian relics, but the fact
that a pestle was found there is taken as
evidence that an Indian camp or village
was located there at one time.
