——Bellefonte hunters have had a
strenuous fifteen days hunting for deer
in the mountains but motion picturé
patrons need not hunt at all; all they
need do is follow the crowd any evening
and they will land at the Scenic. This
is because it is so well known and popu-
lar. Everybody in Bellefonte has been
there and, once there they go again.
New programs every evening. Nothing
like them shown in Bellefonte. Get there
early and avoid the crowd.
——George Robb, who lives along the
mountain above Coleville, took advantage
of the nice weather on Tuesday to do
his butchering, and that is some event in
the Robb household. Three fat hogs
were turned into pork, and as evidence
that they were fat the three of them
weighed just 981 pounds. About two
dozen guests were there for the big din-
ner, which is alse an important event of
the Robb butchering. And it was some
meal, as Mrs. Robb had provided one
turkey and eight chickens to help satisfy
the appetites of her guests.
MANY DEER KILLED IN CENTRE COUN-
TY.—The fifteen days deer hunting sea-
practically all of the hunters have re-
turned home. While it is literally im-
possible to give an accurate statement of
the number of deer killed in Centre
county there is one thing certain, and
that is that the number of bucks brought
in exceeds that of any former year.
Another fact that has been plainly dem-
onstrated is that deer and all kinds of
game are more plentiful on the Seven
mountains than on the Alleghenies. One
party of hunters on the Seven mountains
secured seven deer and three bears, a
nies. It is estimated that not less than
one hundred bucks were killed on the
Seven mountains alone, including both the
Centre and Mifflin county sides. So far
were killed on the Alleghenies.
An unusual number of does were killed
this year, and in quite a number of cases
the hunter who shot the doe came forward
and voluntarily paid the fine. In many
cases, however, the doe was left lying in
the woods to be found by whoever hap-
pened to come across it. One reason
why so many does were shot is, that hav-
ing been protected for several years they
have become quite plentiful and also
somewhat tame. Various hunters report
coming suddenly upon a doe, or perhaps
a doe and fawn, and they did not take
fright as in past years, but would take a
good look then complacently leap away
into the bushes. This may be another
reason why so many were shot. Anxious
hunters simply couldn’t resist the incli-
nation to take a shot.
Bear have also been quite plentiful and
quite a number of them have been bagged
by hunters out after deer. The bear sea-
son, however, does not close until Jan-
uary first, so that others may be killed
before that time. ;
Among the successful crews in the Sev-
en mountains were the Modocs 2 deer,
the Shingletown crowd 2, Rileys 2, Ray-
monds 2, Roaring Run’ Tigers 1, Mc-
Alevy's Fort crowd 3, the Indiana party
1, the Markles 4, Charter Oak 4, Charles
Mong 1, Spring Mills club 2, the Win-
gart-Rote party 7 deer and 2 bears; a
party from Shamokin 3 deer; the Paxi-
nos party 4, the Crader party of Coburn
6 deer and 2 bears; a Northumberiand
party 3 bears, a Middleburg party 1 deer,
a Harrisburg party 1 deer, the Potters
Mills gang 6 deer, the Bradfords of Cen-
tre Hall 4 deer, the Slacks 1 deer, the
Colyer party 2, the Pleasant Gap crowd
2, a party from Pottsville 1, the Olympic
club 2, the Penn Hall hunters 2, the
Sweetwood party 1, the Fousts 1, the
Decker party 1, the Greensburg party 1,
the Bradfordsjfrom Mifflin county 7 deer
and 3 bears; the Fosters of State College
had 1 deer the last heard of, making 85
deer and 12 bears known to have been
killed in the Seven mountains, while the
total number will probably exceed one
hundred.
On the Alleghenies hunters did not
fare nearly so well. The Panthers got
2, M. D. Betz, of Jacksonville 1, the Har-
ter-Bitner crew of Blanchard 1 deer and
2 bears; William Strunk, of Beech Creek,
1 deer; the Confer crowd, 3 deer, Reuben
Walizer, of Julian, 1 bear, while it is es-
timated that other hunting parties on
the: Alleghenies would swell the total to
possibly 25 deer and a half dozen bear,
making more deer killed in this section
this year than there-have been in any one
year for a long time.

ONE MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH, ANOTH-
ER INJURED.—In a fall of earth and stones
at the new penitentiary on Tuesday
morning Seman Sycrobe, an Austrian,
was crushed to death and Rossana Fan-
tanino; an Italian, had his right leg bad-
ly crushed and is badly cut and bruised.
The men were engaged in excavating the
foundation for the laundry and female
department of the penitentiary. The
foundation where they were working has
a face about six feet deep. The top of
the ground being frozen the men had
undermined to a depth of five feet and
about ten feet in length. While they
were at work in the underground drift a
workman with a crowbar began digging
on the frozen surface to cut it loose.
The surface covering was about
eighteen inches thick and evidently was
not frozen as solid as the workmen sup-
posed, for without any warning the en-
tire mass of earth and stone fell and
crushed Sycrobe beneath its weight.
Fantanino was only at the edge of the
drift and his right leg was the only por-
tion of him caught by the fall. The men
were dug out as soon as possible, and
hospital. His leg is so badly crushed
that the hospital physicians are not cer-
tain whether they can save it or not.
Sycrobe was dead when taken out, his
head being crushed and one leg brok-
en. He is a man about forty years old
and formerly worked at the Whiterock
quarries. Undertaker Hard P. Harris
took charge of the remains and prepar-
ed them for burial. :

——Since the “Merry Widow”, waltz, |
no air has captivated the discriminating
music lovers of Europe as has “Spring-
time,” the haunting, lilting melody which ;
Anatol Friedland has introduced in “The
Countess Coquette,” the merry musical
vaudeville which is to be presented at
the opera house Wednesday, December
2nd. The piece is from the French of
Marcel Janvier, with lyrics by Melville
Alexander and music by Anatol Fried- |
land. There is a most elaborate scenic!
production from the studio of Dodge and !
Castle, who stage all the Belasco plays, |
and the costumes were designed and |
made by Fouret of Paris. An especial |
feature is the chorus, which is not only |
good to look upon, but vocally attrac-
tive.
HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE. — The
tenant house on the Miss Anna Gray
farm near Scotia was entirely destroyed |
by fire on Wednesday forenoon of last
week. The house was occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Wilson and family of
ten children. Mr. Wilson was away from |
the house and there were no men around |
to assist in saving at least some of the
household goods and the only portion of
their effects saved by Mrs. Wilson and
the children were the clothes they had
out on the line in the week’s wash. Miss
Gray had three hundred dollars insurance
on the house but so far as known the |
Wilson’s had no insurance on their house- |
hold goods. The loss is keenly felt by
the Wilson family owing to the fact that
they were just getting fairly fixed again
after being burned out of house and
home about two years ago, when located
on the Branch.
BiG BARN BURNED.—The large barn on
the Samuel Hoy farm on the Jacksonville
road, a mile and a half east of Bellefonte,
was entirely destroyed by fire on Tues-
day afternoon with all its contents. The
fireevidently originated from a spark from
the engine, as they were baling hay
at the time. The fire started in thestraw
mow about 1.30 o’clock and it was only a
few minutes until the entire barn was a
mass of seething flames. In fact the
men in the barn were only able to save
the baling machine which was ablaze
when they got it out. The threshing ma-
chine which they had been using just be-
fore they began baling was standing on
the other floor and so rapidly did the
flames spread that they had no chance to
get it out.
The farm is tenanted by I. M. Bierley
and as soon as the fire got under head-
way he ran to the stables to save the live
stock. All the horses and cattle were
gotten out and to places of safety except
a two year old colt and nine shoats be-
longing to Mr. Bierley and Mr. Hoy's
driving horse. Bierley got the latter al-
most to the door when some burning
straw fell down in front of the animal
and it bolted, pulling Bierley back into
the stable. The latter was then com-
pelled to plunge through fire to save
himself, and as it was, the left side of
his face was badly burned and the hair
on one side of his head burned off.
The thresher belonged to J. S. Condo
and he estimates his loss at $500. Mr.
Hoy and Mr. Bierley’s combined loss is
estimated at $7,500. In addition to the
live stock burned, the contents of the
barn included 1100 bushels of wheat, 250
bushels of oats, 80 bushels of barley, 50
tons of hay, and various farm imple-
ments. Mr. Hoy valued his driving
horse at $250.
Both Mr.-Hoy and Mr. Bierley carried
insurance in the Farmer's Mutual Fire
insurance company, but their loss is not
anyways near covered.

THE Buck WILL CASE AGAIN IN COURT.
—The D. Miles Buck will case which a
year or two ago was quite prominent in
the Blair county court, and which was
carried through the Superior court, was
given another airing in argument court
at Hollidaysburg, on Tuesday when ex-
ceptions to the auditor's report were ar-
gued. Prior to his death three years ago
Mr. Buck lived near Centre Line in Blair
county. For a long time he had made his
home with his sister, Mrs. John P. Sebring
and her husband, but for almost three
years before his death he resided with
another sister, Mrs. W. A. Stevens, and
husband, on a farm near Warriorsmark.
While residing with the Sebrings, Mr.
Buck made a will in which he named
Mr. Sebring as his sole beneficiary. After
the death of Mr. Buck, Mr. Stevens be-
gan proceedings to set aside the will.
The case was lost in the Blair county
courts and an opinion was handed down
adverse to him in the Superior court of
Pennsyivania.
The will phase of the controversy be-
tween the two brothers.in-law, having
been decided, Mr. Stevens submitted a
bill for $501.75, claiming this amount was
due him and his wife for boarding and
lodging furnished Mr. Buck while he
made his home with them. The auditor
who passed upon the affairs of the estate
refused to allow the claim and the suit
argued Tuesday was the result. Attorney
Robert W. Smith represented Mr. Se-
bring, while W. C. Fletcher appeared for
Mr. Stevens. The papers in the case
were taken by the court, who will hand
down an opinion later.

railroad depot, intending to take the

against the man sitting alongside of him. !

where he became quite successful as a
contractor and builder. Since the death |
of his wife on July 23rd, 1913, he had |
made his home in Bellefonte with his
daughter, Mrs. Joseph L. Runkle. He
was a member of the Lutheran church
and a2 man greatly respected by all who
knew him.
Mr. Fink was twice married, his first |
wife being Miss Frances P. Stere, by !
whom he had one daughter, Mrs. N. B.
Spangler, of Bellefonte. His second wife
was Miss Mary A. Bloom, who died six- |
teen months ago. Her surviving chil- |
dren are Mrs. Joseph L. Runkle, of Belle-
fonte, and Mrs. E. W. Clark, of San
Francisco, Cal. Mr. Fink also leaves two
