A new roof has been put on the the man’s body and the supposition is | that he died of privation and starvation | after wandering around for several days in a fit of mental abstraction. Mr. Davis attended the Cramer public sale near State College on Tuesday of last week. On his way home he had sup- per with the Ellery T. Parsons family at Meek’s church. It was growing dark when he left there but having lived in that section all his life the Parsons fam- ily felt no concern about him getting home safe and sound. Failing to arrive home, however, a search was instituted for him on Wednesday, and day and night searching parties literally scoured the Barrens on a hunt for the man, dead or alive. Failing to get even a trace of the man the searchers on Tuesday had about con- cluded that Mr. Davis must have wan- dered out of the county when Willis Weaver, a young man of Pennsylvania Furnace, chanced to come across his body in the Judy field about four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The place where the body was found is about three miles from his home and in an entirely differ- ent direction from the way he started from the Parsons home a week previous. Mr. Davis had not been in the best of health for some time and the supposition is that in the darkness of night he be- came bewildered and wandered in the wrong direction, finally becoming so ex- hausted after traveling the five or six miles from the Parsons home to the Judy farm that he fell to the ground and was unable to get to a house or make himself heard. From the condition of the body he had been dead for some days. The unfortunate man was a son of William and Barbara Davis and was born in the neighborhood of Fairbrook sixty- ‘five years ago, all his life being spent in that locality. He was a laborer by occu- pation and a good citizen. Surviving him are his wife, who before her marriage was Miss Mary Woomer, and the follow- ing children: Mrs. George Rudy, of State College; Mrs. William Post and Mrs. B. F. Hassinger, of Scotia; Foster Davis, of Blue Ball; Raymond, at Bellwood, and Mildred at home. He also leaves one brother and threesisters, B. Frank Davis, in Lehigh county; Mrs. McKelvey, of Clearfield; Mrs. Belle Thomas, ot Penn- sylvania Furnace, and a sister in Mt. Union whose name could not be learned. The funeral took place from his late home at Fairbrook yesterday afternoon, burial being made in the Gatesburg cem- etery. gees BELLEFONTERS START BALL ROLLING FOR A BIG FOURTH.—With lots of snow still on the ground but realizing how quickly time slips around the citizens of Bellefonte on Wednesday evening form- ed an organization for the purpose of having a real old-fashioned celebration on the Fourth of July. The organization has been officially designated as the “In- dependence Day Association of Belle- fonte,” and all neighboring towns are no- tified that Bellefonte has pre-empted the right for the one big celebration in this section of the State, and all our neigh- bors are invited to make a pilgrimage to Bellefonte on that occasion. The following officers of the organiza- tion were elected: President, Burgess Edmund Blanchard; vice presidents, John S. Walker, Charles E. Dorworth, Robert F. Hunter, J. Frank Smith, Lewis Dag- gett and Donald Wallace; secretary and treasurer, J. Dorsey Hunter. The presi- dent was empowered to appoint his ex- ecutive committee and sub-committees. It was the unanimous opinion of the large number of people present at the meet- ing that an invitation be extended to the people of State College, Centre Hall, Pleasant Gap, Snow Shoe and Howard to join with Bellefonte in making the cele- bration one of the biggest ever held at the county seat. Only tentative plans for a celebration have been made but no definite outline has yet been decided upon as to the character of the amusements, etc. The officers of the organization will welcome any and all suggestions along the line of amusements or anything else that will help to make the day a success. In the meantime let everybody do what they can and Bellefonte will have the big time of its history. A. A. DALE EsQ TO ORATE AT GETTYS- BURG.—On Tuesday A. A. Dale Esq., re- ceived a letter from the Commander of Corp. S.

Mr. Dale the same day ac- knowledged the letter with an acceptance of the invitation and if he is in good health on that day he will have the honor of orating on the great battlefield where some of the brightest and ablest men of the country have immortalized the heroes of our great Civil war.

From its volume, how- ever, we should imagine that if located on top of the jail it ought to be heard in all parts of the town, but as to whether it is strong enough to wake up the sleep- ing populace at night that is a matter that only a night test will disclose. ——The Bellefonte Central Railroad company last week purchased a gasoline motor car, large enough to accomodate twenty passengers and light baggage.

Lehman, of the railroad police, of Williamsport, with officers Smith, of Williamsport, and William McClintic, of Lock Haven, arrest- ed Rankin Weaver, of Penn township. He was given a hearing before ’Squire Brown and in default of paying his fine was sent to jail for five days. The same officers on Monday arrested Charles D. Smith, of Penn township, and he was sent to jail for ten days in default of paying the fine imposed.

A warrant is also out for the arrest of another Bellefonte young man for riding blind baggage as far as Curtin. the Republic ! | band with a twenty-two calibre revolver, { with intent to kill him. home has not been one of the most peaceful, owing mostly to Mrs. Sheck- ler’s inordinate jealousy of her husband. They were married less than a year ago and it was the second matrimonial ven- ture for both. Mrs. Sheckler was for- merly a Miss Meyers, of Milesburg. After her first marriage she lived in Pittsburgh with her husband and chil- dren, but finally deserted them and re- turned to Milesburg. Mr. Sheckler has three children to his first wife, the latter dying about eighteen months ago. Mrs. Sheckler secured a divorce from her first husband and within a week married Sheckler. Everything was lovely for a few weeks then Mrs. Sheckler grew jealous of her husband, without just cause, he asserts. Several weeks ago, it is alleged, she se- cured arevolver and flourishing the same, threatened her husband’s life. He dis- armed her, and thus saved a possible tragedy. About a week ago Mr. Sheck- ler found & bottle of chloroform in the house, and fearing lest the poison might form to his parents’ home. The climax came on Saturday just be- | fore noon. Sheckler is employed by un- | dertaker Frank Wetzler and was at his home dressing for a funeral. While | standing before the bureau mirror ad- | justing a tie he saw the reflection of his i pointed a revolver at his head. Sheckler screamed and dropped to the floor just as his wife pulled the trigger. The weap- on was hard to discharge and the course of the ball was deflected so that it not only missed Sheckler but missed the mir- ror and imbedded itself in a door ‘frame. Sheckler grabbed his wife before. she could fire a second time and took the re- volver. He then went to the home of his parents, where he has been ever since. Mrs. Sheckier wants him back, but so far he has not gone. What the outcome will be remains to be seen. ——Let your new Easter shoes be Walkovers.
