farm just south of Pennsylvania Furnace. | fixing up his new home on east Linn
There were no marks of violence upon |street. 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.

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. Kelly Post, No. 9, of Gettysburg,
extending him a .pressing and highly
complimentary invitation to deliver the
Memorial day address at Gettysburg on
May 31st. 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. And hav-
ing heard Mr. Dale make an address for
Gregg Post several years ago we can
assure the old soldiers as well as residents
of Gettysburg that he will make an
interesting, patriotic and pleasing address.

——Between six and seven o'clock on
Sunday evening George Keeler, driving
Rerick’s Ford car, was coming in Alle-
gheny street and in turning the corner to :
go up Howard St., toward the Union cem-
etery the steering gear broke and the car
not only climbed the pavement but
bumped head-on into Andrews’ stone
house. Keeler was uninjured but the
fenders and front wheels of the car were
badly damaged.
——G. Murray Andrews, who had ap-
plied to the British War Office fora com-
mission in Kitchener's army has receiv-
ed a letter from the Right Hon. H. J.
Tennant, M. P., under Secretary for
War, informing him that they could not
give commissions for active service to
those over 40. It is probable, therefor,
that Mr. and Mrs. Andrews will spend
part of the spring and summer in Belle-
fonte instead of going to England.

is distributed over ten States. The com-
pany has nearly three-quarters of a mil-

aught but what is passing over the screen
and after an hour’s pleasant enjoyment
you are able to go home pleased with
yourself and all your neighbors. And
the Scenic is the place to try the experi-
ment.

——The new electric fire alarm has
been received in Bellefonte and yester-
day afternoon was given a test. Locat-
ed in the plaza between the court house
:and jail its rather doleful tones could be
very distinctly heard at this office but how
much further the sound carried we are
unable to state. 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.
The car was bought primarily for service
on the Pine Grove Mills branch and when
it is received and tested, which will prob-
ably be ten days or two weeks, the old
schedule that was in force between State
College and Pine Grove Mills prior to last
October will be re-established. The car
will also be used for special service be-
tween State College and Bellefonte.
The company has also exchanged one of
its combination cars for one of the latest
Pennsylvania wooden coaches.

ILLEGAL T) RIDERS ARRESTED.—On
Wednesday of last week Capt. 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.
Office Fred Giles, of Tyrone, on Mon-
day arrested James and Michael Rice
and William McGovern, of this place, for
jumping a freight at Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion for a trip to Lock Haven. At a
hearing before Squire Brown each of
the three young men was fined five
dollars and costs, or seven dollars in all,
which they paid. The same day Harvey
Tressler was arrested for riding blind
baggage from Bellefonte to Curtin, and
at the hearing he refused to pay his fine
and was sent to jail. After one day in
Fort Lee, however, he arranged to pay
the fine and costs, and so was discharged
at noon on Tuesday. A warrant is also
out for the arrest of another Bellefonte
young man for riding blind baggage as
far as Curtin.

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.

PROPERTY CHANGES AND MOVINGS.—
Changes in the ownership of real es-
tate in Bellefonte have been. more nu-
merous this spring than in a number of
years. One of the mostimportant chang-
es was the purchase of the Ceader home
on Allegheny street, last Thursday, by
Edward Richard. The price paid was
$10,000.
The same day Mrs. Ceader purchased
the Hoover property on Spring street,
adjoining the Presbyterian church, for
$3,000. This property had already been
leased by Norman R. Wright, with the
exception of three rooms, and these
rooms Mrs. Ceader will have putin shape
for the occupancy of herself and daugh-
ter, Miss Helen Ceader. It is her inten-
tion to ultimately convert the building
into a double residence.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Miles Barr, who now
occupy the Hoover property, will move
to the Lukenbach property on Willow-
bank street, Mr. Barr having leased the
same from D. F. Houser last Saturday.
At a public sale at the court house last
Saturday of the properties of the late
Charles Eckenroth Peter Saylor purchas-
ed the house on north Penn street in
which he has lived for some years, for
$1375. The one-half of a double house
on the same street was purchased by
Herbert Auman for $300, and a small
house on Pike alley went to Wallace
Markle for $124.
Charles M. Heisler has had men at
work this week building the foundation
for a new six room residence he will
erect for himself in Bush’s Addition. Un-
til the house is completed he and Mrs.
Heisler will make their home with the
latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry F-
Bartley.
