ANOTHER GARAGE FOR BELLEFONTE.— | Last week F. S. Knecht, who the past year has conducted a vulcanizing estab- | —Robbers forced an entrance to the Milesburg Store company on Saturday night by pryirg a strip off at the front door and forcing the bolt. They secured between threeand four dollars in change, some boots and shoes, several watches, etc. The loss will be less than one hun. dred dollars, according to the owners. No person heard the robbers. The Bellefonte police were put upon the case and on Monday evening officer Dunlap went to Milesburg and began an investigation. He soon learned that Jos- eph Wagner and Henry Gordon, of Belle- fonte, were seen in Milesburg at a late hour Saturday night, and knowing the reputation of these young men the police believed that they were implicated in the robbery. On Tuesday afternoon Wagner was arrested on suspicion and after being put through the third degree by chief of police Dukeman finally confessed and implicated Henry Gordon, of Bellefonte, and George Wyland, of Milesburg, as having been his confederates in the job- Gordon was arrested the same afternoon, but declared he had not taken part in the robbery, despite Wagner's asser- tions. Wagner also told the officers where his part of the booty was hidden and secur- ing a search warrant the officers went to the Wagner home on Tuesday afternoon and secured one watch and a few other articles. Up to this writing Gordon has refused to tell where he hid his portion of the stolen goods and the police have been unable to find it. Wyland was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon. The robbery was planned by the three young man, according to Wagner’s con- fession, while they were in Moersch- bacher’s pool room. When they decided to pull off the job they went down Water street to the Central Railroad of Penn- sylvania and followed it to the McCoy & Linn iron works where they took the public road. At the store Wagner and Gordon pulled off the robbery while Wy- land declares that he went away and had no part'in it. Wyland didn’t return to Bellefonte but remained in Milesburg. On their way back to Bellefonte Gordon lost a box of cigars, which were found Sunday morning, showing that the rob- bers came this way. Gordon is an old offender, having serv- ed time in the Huntingdon reformatory, the western penitentiary and the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. He is still on parole from the latter place. Wagner has been in one or more scrapes before but has always escaped prison. PREPARING FOR BIG INRUSH OF WORK- MEN.—AII the available space in the Gar- man residence on the corner of High and Spring streets is being fixed up into rooms for lodgers only, and William McClure is also converting his building on Bishop street ‘into a lodging house. This is being done in preparation for the demand for lodging places which is sure to come as soon as work begins at the penitentiary. If the Thompson Starrett company putson in the neighborhood of three hundred men and the State almost as many there will be a big demand in Bellefonte for lodging room, and wise will be the man who has prepared to meet it. With hundreds of the penitentiary workman making their headquarters in Bellefonte an effort will be madé to have the Pennsylvania rail- road company put a workmen’s train on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad, to leave Bellefonte at seven o'clock and ur- rive at Rockview in time to start work at 7.30; returning leave Rockview about 4.45 and get in Bellefonte about five o'clock. This would be more convenient than the regular train schedule and would enable the railroad company to bet- ter handle the large crowd of workmen. NAGINEY WINS INSURANCE CASES.— Frank E. Naginey won all his insurance cases in court last week. When the WATCHMAN went to press last week the jury was out in the case against the Fi- delity Pheenix Fire Insurance company, the London Assurance Association and the Delaware Underwriters, all tried as a blanket case. Friday morning the jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Nagi- ney for $1272.00, the court reserving the right of decision on one point of law and also the proper apportionment of the verdict between the three companies. The second case tried was against the Teutonia Fire Insurance company, the jury in this case returning a verdict of $1042.50. The North-western National Insurance company, and the Insurance Company of North America settled, though the amounts paid Mr. Naginey do not appear upon the record. The latter, however, claims he will get be- ‘tween four and five hundred dollars more than he originally agreed to settle for, or a total of $3573.00. reo HAYES SCHOLARSHIPS.—By means of a donation made to The Pennsylvania State College by Dr. and Mrs. Thos. R. Hayes, of Bellefonte, five scholarships worth $85 each are given to the five counties of the state showing the highest ratio of stu- dents in the college to the total popula- tion of the county.

Manager Brown aims to give the people of Bellefonte the best he can secure and his efforts should be appreciated by all loveis of motion pic- tures. ——The Bellefonte school board has received a promise from Hon. C. LaRue Munson to deliver the commencement address at the graduating exercises of the Bellefonte High school the last week number of years to secure Mr. Munson but there was always something to in- tervene. This year the board decided to go after him early and thus was able to secure his promise. Mr. Munson is an able speaker and the graduating class as well as Bellefonters generally can expect something fine in his address. oon — ——The Emerick brothers, W.J. Em- erick, of Bellefonte, and H.C. Emerick, of Philipsburg,who operate the motor bus line between Bellefonte and Milesburg and Bellefonte and State College, have taken the agency for the White car and expect to open head-quarters in Altoona. erection of a big building there during the summer. On Monday H. C. Emer- ick came to Bellefonte in one of the 1915 double cowl model White cars, which at- tracted considerable attention. The car is unique in that there is not an angle to be found on the body, which consists of a full streamline design. ——The Public Service Commission at Harrisburg on Monday dismissed the complaints of the Lehigh Valley Coal com- pany and the Kelley Brothers, of Snow Shoe.

With a view of reach- ing an amicable settlement, the Bell sub- mitted some propositions but they were ignored by the complainants and the ac- tion of the Commission followed. MutT AND JEFF IN MEXICO.—The best evidence a theatre manager can offer his patrons as to the actual merits of an entertainment that he is offering for your approval is undisputed facts -concerning its success elsewhere. What is said con- cerning the success of Gus Hill's produc- tion of Bud Fisher’s great cartoon play, “Mutt and Jeff in Mexico” coming to Garman’s on Tuesday evening, March, 16th, can easily be verified in the news columns of almost any newspaper. In New York City, Chicago, and Boston, the play had large runs, and wrung from the most conservative critics the enviable title of being the greatest financial and this, do you? The big New York com- pany with all of the arguments that won its success will be here. Get seats now. Prices, 35, 50, and 75 cents and $1.00. BELLEFONTERS GOT THEIR MONEY. — On Monday morning district attorney D. Paul Fortney received a check from H. E. Campbell's Sunbury lawyer in full payment for the money the latter re- ceived on passing worthless checks in Bellefonte, as well as the costs. It will be remembered that some two months ago Campbell came to Bellefonte with a proposition to start the Bellefonte fur- nace and during the two days he was in town got two checks cashed, one for $35.00 and one for $50.00. He then sud- denly disappeared. Of course the checks were no good, one of them having been forged. Campbell later worked the same game in Sunbury and when he was caught at Lancaster several weeks ago the Sun- bury authorities got him first. Though his friends have made good all the mon- ey he secured on bogus checks Campbell will be given a trial in Northumberland county. If is hardly likely, however, that the bother any more about him, now that they have gotten their money back. where he was sworn in as Congressman Washington by George W.

They will also have a vulcanizing depart- ment for the repair of tires. The new garage will be complete in every detail. In course of time Messrs. Knecht and Hill may take an agency for some ma- chine, but at first they will devote them- i selves to looking after the needs of au- tomobilists. The purchase of this stable will mean the passing out of existence of the Pal- ace livery. Public sale will be made of | all their stock, rigs and equipment and what has been one of Bellefonte'’s lead- ing liveries for over a score of years will then be a thing of the past.
