be covered with soil and sowed in grass.
Back over the hill, or north of the
"death house is now being erected a build-
ing to be used as a laundry and storage.
This building is approximately 200x40
feet in size, and the concrete for the
walls is now being poured. No cellar
will be built under this building.
Between the laundry and death house
will be located the dining hall. This
location was excavated to grade by the
State while the Thompson Starrett com-
| pany is now excavating for the cellar and
also has a foree of carpenters at work
| putting up the forms for the walls. This
| building will be approximately 200x150
feet in size and will be connected with
the laundry by a fourteen foot tunnel.
' All the buildings in that group will be
connected by tunnels. :
Assistant engineer John Swan is in

_vating and grading. The dining hall will

| The hill between the death house and
the location of the dining hall is being
‘cut down to grade, and this work is also
being done by the State. There is con.

The same afternoon the State Freshmen
were defeated on Beaver field by the

for the local High school eleven downed
the heavy Tyrone High school on Hughes
field by the very emphatic score of 28

——The Michigan Aggies footbail team
from Lansing, Mich., arrived in Belle-

accompanied by the Cadet band of sixty
pieces and two score rooters. During
| the afternoon the team practiced on
Hughes field. The Michigan delegation
remained in town over night, sleeping in
the cars and eating at the various hotels.
They will not go to the College until
after dinner today, or just in time for the
game. .

——Thanksgiving is less than two
weeks off and from present indications
turkeys will be quitg plentiful and, it is
to be hoped, at a price within reach of
the ordinary family. The past summer
season was a good one for turkeys in some
localities the result is large flocks at many
farms throughout the county. The birds
are thrifty and in good condition and by
Thanksgiving ought to be about right
for the main dish at the Thanksgiving
feast.
——Carl Hans Lody, alias Charles A.
Inglis, a German, who was arrested in
London, Eng., as a spy, tried, convicted
and shot in the old London tower on
Tuesday, was well known by George T.
Bush and Mrs. Elizabeth Callaway. He
was in charge of the Clark tour on which
Mr. Bush and Mrs. Callaway made their
trip around the world a few years ago.
Mr. Bush also met Lody on several occa-
sions since and always found him a
courteous, genial gentleman.
——Manager T. Clayton Brown says
that any person who is not a regular at-
tendant at the Scenic is missing some
high class motion pictures. Mr. Brown
is giving Scenic patrons quite a number
of high class features in addition to his
regular program. In every feature that
goes to make up a high class moving
picture show the Scenic leads, others fol-
low. Regular price five cents. Big fea-
tures 10 cents and five cents for children.
The evening you stay away may mean
missing something very good.
——The Dr. Thomas R. Hayes prop-
erty on north Allegheny street, which
last spring was traded by Mrs. Hayes to
Dr. Emery Marvel, of Atlantic City, was
sold at public sale on Monday to Dr. R.
G. H. Hayes for $10,000. The property
started at $8,000 and there were only
three additional bids on it when it was
knocked down. When he traded for the
property Dr. Marvel contemplated spend-
ing the summers in Bellefonte with his
family but he lately concluded that his
practice would not permit him doing so,

Not only does but numerous bucks were
j seen by woodsmen, and there ought to
| be some good sport during the fifteen
days of the open season. The fact that
all hunting parties are located far out in
the mountains, miles away from tele-
phone communication, precludes the pos-
sibility of giving a report of the first
day’s hunt, but it is more than probable
that a number of bucks were killed.
While it is too soon after the opening
day of the season to get accurate reports
of the number of deer killed, information
so far received indicate that deer are
unusually plentifiul.

by an Altoona party near Coburn was

Wednesday. 4

A Snow Shoe party got a two pronged

Over on the South side the ‘Krader—

C. W. Troutman, of Middleburg, killed
a buck on Tuesday on Slide mountain.
Harry Auman, of Coburn, went out on

by 11.30 o’clock.
The Woodward regulars and the Wood-
ward volunteers each got a deer.
Frank Keister, of Aaronsburg, got a
big buck in Sugar valley.
The Greenbriar gang of Coburn got a
deer on their first drive Tuesday morn-
ing in the Pine Swamp.
A Mifflinburg party got two deer on
the mountain near Coburn.
A party of hunters on Tussey mountain
back of Pine Grove Mills has a big bear
hanging up.
A rumor was current in Bellefonte yes-
terday that Mrs. Harry Mann, of Orviston,
had shot a deer on Wednesday but the
rumor could not be confirmed.
No report has so far been received
from any of the hunting parties from
Bellefonte.
A crowd of hunters from Curwensville,
encamped at Cato, got a bear in the
vicinity of Panther hollow which weighs
250 pounds.
~ Two does were killed on the first day.
One was by Walter Sweitzer, in the Bar-
rens back of Warriorsmark, who shot at
a big buck, missed it and killed a doe,
Sweitzer made information against him-
self and got off with a fine of fifty dol-
lars. The other doe was killed on
Tussey mountain, back of Pennsylva-
nia Furnace, by some unknown hunter.
The first carcass was sent to the Mercy
hospital, Altoona, and the second one to
the Blair Memorial hospital, Hunting-
don.
Last Thursday a fawn came down off
of Tussey mountain and attempted to
cross the open country to the Barrens.
In jumping a fence it fell and broke its
back. On the advice of the district at-
torney Phil D. Foster shot the animal and
brought the meat to the Bellefonte hos-
pital.
