—— While working on a new house at
Pleasant Gap, on Tuesday Edward J.
Gehret fell through some open joists
while carrying a load of lumber from
one side of the building to another.
Fortunately he was able to throw him-
self forward and grab another joist and
thus avert a fall to the floor below. He
got out of the tangle without any. broken
bones but lost about a square foot of
epidermis from one of his legs. How-
ever, he was able to be around on Wed-
mesday but did not go out on the job.
~———(Clement Dale Esq, has had men
at work this week tearing down the old
barn on the rear of his lot on Allegheny
street. This barn, which has not been
weed since Mr. Dale disposed of his cow
because she got to climbing into the hay
mew to help herself with hay, has been
an eyesore to some of the residents of
that locality for a long time. It also
served as headquarters for a colony of
rats, and this is probably one reason
why Wir. Dale decided to tear it down
and utilize the ground it stands upon as
part of his excellent garden.
George B. Coble, Fugitive Postmaster, Captured in
Colorado.
After Four and a Half Months Wandering Through This and Foreign Lands Pleasant
Gap’s Absconding Postmaster Finally Arrested.
A dispatch from Pueblo, Colorado, announced the arrest there on Wednesday
of George B. Coble, who after lessthan five months as postmaster at Pleasant Gap,
ran away on January 4th with $626 of the postal funds, which fact was announced
exclusively in the WATCHMAN the same week. Government officials arrested Coble
at the home of his uncle, George Helper, one of Pueblo’s city officials.
According to the young man’s story
when he left Pleasant Gap he went to
New York and sailed to Bermuda, then to St. George, British Guinea, but hadn’t
the money required for landing. He was shipped back to Bermuda, but could not
land there either, as his funds were virtually exhausted. He was shipped to vari-
ous places and finally allowed to land in
New York. He worked there as a laborer
for a while, then went to Kansas City and from there beat his way to Pueblo.
Coble says he spent the money for
gamblings checks and steamer tickets.
Government officials have trailed Coble in all his travels through this and other
countries.
He went by the name of James F. Phillips. Only last week the United
States district court sitting at Sunbury returned a true biil of indictment against
him and he will be brought to this State for trial.
Was HENRY CONFER MURDERED? —Last
week’s WATCHMAN told of the tragic end
of Henry M. Confer, of Howard, whom it
was at first supposed had met his death
by being knocked down and run over by
the dinkey engine on the narrow guage
railroad at the Orviston brick works.
But before the day set for the burial of
the remains the fact leaked out that Mr.
Confer’s body was already cold in death
when the train ran over him.
For this reason the remains were not
buried at the funeral on Thursday but
held for a coroner’s inquest which was
held on Friday morning. Coroner John
Sebring held the inquest and was assisted
by Drs. W. J. Kurtz and G. O. McEntire,
of ‘Howard. A thorough examination
disclosed the fact that both eyes and the
face were much discolored and there
were black and blue marks on the throat
and a mark on the back of the neck,
which could only be the result of blows
before death, and the physicians gave it
as their candid belief that Mr. Confer
had been killed then placed upon the
railroad track in the hope that the body
would be so mutilated by a passing train
that detection of the crime would be im-
possible.
When coroner Sebring reported the
finding of the inquest to the district
attorney, and upon information gathered
by the latter from various sources, he
had warrants sworn out for the arrest of
Richard Langdon and Dobbin McCarvin,
of Clarence, and Irvin Robinson Jr., of
Mt. Eagle. On Friday afternoon sheriff
A. B. Lee and chiet of police Harry
Dukeman went out to Snow Shoe and
found Langdon and McCarvin along the
road from Snow Shoe to Clarence. Both
young men were considerably under the
influence of liquor and offered no resist-
ance to arrest. Both men were brought
to Bellefonte and. lodged in jail. The
same ‘afternoon policeman Dunlap went
to Mt. Eagle and arrested Robinson and
brought him to Bellefonte and he was
also locked up in jail.
Saturday afternoon the coroner's in-
quest took evidence before "Squire D. W.
Pletcher, of Howard. A number of wit-
nesses were heard and the evidence
showed that Confer left the brick works
plant at Orviston with the three men
arrested in the neighborhood of five
o'clock on Sunday evening to walk the
narrow guage road to the camp at the
mines. Mr. Confer stopped at the water-
ing trough and the three men walked on
about one hundred and fifty yards where
they stopped. Confer overtook them
there and that is the last definite thing
known.” ©
The three men under arrest reached
camp about six o’clock, each with a quart
bottle of whiskey partly empty, and each
one somewhat under the influence of
liquor. It was almost seven o'clock when
the dinkey engine and cars rounded the
curve on the way to the mines and ran
over Mr. Confer’s body. The train was
stopped immediately and it was when
the body was picked up that the men
discovered that it was cold, showing that
the man had been dead for some time.
When the train crew reached the mines
they naturally told of their horrible find
and an altercation ensued between Rob-
inson and engineer Quay, of the dinkey
engine with the resuit that the men be-
came embroiled in a fight in which Rob-
inson came out a poor second best. So
much so, in fact, that his eyes showed
the traces of his combat when he was
arrested Friday.
The three men lost their jobs the same
evening and their arrests were made upon
the above evidence. On Monday they
retained Col. H. S. Taylor to defend them
and the latter has taken out a petition
for a habeas corpus hearing, which will
be held at a time to be fixed by the court.

ber of the Gregory Bros. of Candyland,
will be discharged from the hospital
today, entirely recovered from his attack
of typhoid fever. Mr. Gregory, who has
been a patient at the hospital for five
weeks, is returning to his business with
renewed energy, and the determination
to keep Candyland where it always has
been—the most popular place in Belle-
fonte for refreshing drinks, ices and
candies.
——The chart for the Academy vaude-
ville this evening was put up on Tuesday
| morning and the larger part of the audi-
torium seats were taken before the day
was over. There are still a number of
good seats in the body of the house
while the two or three first rows in the
gallery will be reserved for anyone want-
ing them. These seats are very desira-
ble, especially since the management of
the vaudeville guarantees that the very
best of order will be maintained and no
undue noise or boisterousness permitted.

——This has been a big week for
rectors and members of the Episcopal
church, as it marked the celebration in
Harrisburg of the tenth anniversary of
the Diocese of Harrisburg and its first
Bishop, the Rt. Rev. J. H. Darlington.
The celebration began Monday and ended
on Wednesday and during that time
many rectors and members of the church
were present. In the ten years’ history
of the Harrisburg Diocese its member-
ship has increased twenty-five per cent. A
large number of new churches, rectories
and parish houses have been built and the
Diocese is one of the most important in
the State.
——The directors of the Centre coun-
ty association of Philadelphia held a
meeting on Monday of last week and de-
cided to hold their next annual picnic on
June 19th, thus changing from the fourth
| to the third Saturday in the month. The
association is very much interested in
the coming Centre county Old Home
week at Bellefonte and expects to help
. the good cause along. A committee con-
sisting of Ira D. Garman, Charles R.
Kurtz, Dr. S. Gray Mattern and Dr. John
| C. Beale met the Philadelphia city coun-
cil committee last Wednesday and made
aplea to have the Liberty Bell stop at
Bellefonte while on its trip to the Pan-
American exposition in July.

——1J. S. Baumgardner left State Col-
lege early Monday morning in his car to
motor to his large farm in Nippenose
valley, Lycoming county. He was driv-
ing along the state road between Jersey
Shore and Nippenose when something
went wrong with the steering gear and
quick as a flash the car swerved to one
side and plunged over the top of a
fifteen foot embankment. Fortunately
a good sized tree stood about six feet
from the top of the embankment and
the machine hit it head-on and lodged
there. The impact threw Mr. Baum-
gardner from the machine and in the
fall he was considerably bruised and
skinned, but suffered no serious injury.
A wrecking crew from Jersey Shore pull-
ed the machine onto the road and put it
in running condition.

——WATCHMAN readers want to bear in
mind the fact that this (Friday) evening
is the time for the Bellefonte Academy
vaudeville at Garman’s opera house.
While it is no part of the vaudeville en-
tertainment the Academy boys will enter
the limelight at 2.30 o'clock this after-
noon when the baseball team will play
the strong Lafayette High school team
of Buffalo, N. Y. This will be ladies day,
when all ladies will be admitted free. It
will also be general tournament day as
the tennis teams will be playing and the
baseball reserves in action, while Our
Boys band, of Milesburg, will furnish
music. When everything is at its height
a prominent photographer of Altoona
will take a panorama picture of the
grounds, which will include not only the
athletic teams but the entire crowd. Be
one of the latter and get your picture
taken with the bunch. At the conclusion
of the game the vaudeville parade headed
by Our Boys band will leave the grounds
and march down Bishop street and
through the principal streets of the town,
But whatever you do don’t miss the big
show at the opera house. The vaude-
ville is an innovation for the Acad-
emy boys but we feel assured you'll en-
joy every one of the six big parts in the
performance. :

BiG FREE ATTRACTIONS FOR OLD HOME
WEEK.—Centre countians and others who
visit Bellefonte during the Old Home
week July 2nd to 9th will see four or
. more of the best free attractions ever
‘now engaged in giving demonstrations
! seen in this part of the State. They will
; be brought here from New York and will
include two aeroplane ascents daily with
bomb dropping and blowing up of tem-
porary forts; a one hundred and twenty-
five foot high dive into an inclined chute
and others of an equally good and start-
ling nature. Then there will be nine or
ten carnival shows located on the streets
named in last week’s WATCHMAN with
lots of amusement stands of various
kinds. These will all be placed by Mr.
Brady, of New York city, who was
here on Tuesday and signed contracts,
according to a report made at the public
meeting of citizens on Tuesday evening.
Every show brought here will be of a
clean and moral character and no gam-
bling games or devices will be permitted.
Mr. Brady will be in full charge of every-
thing and will be allowed a certain sum
for his services. The free attractions
will cost in the neighborhood of $1,600,
but this will be offset by the fact that the
association will receive all license privi-
leges and thirty-five per cent of the gross
receipts from all the carnival shows.
The attendance at! Tuesday evening's
meeting of citizens was the largest yet
held, and the reports showed that every-
body is working for the success of the
week. Of course it will be impossible to
have all the attractions in the country
here but there will be enough every day
to keep the crowds busy, and every day
will be different.
Chairman Blanchard stated that it
is doubtful if the Liberty bell can be
gotten as an extra attraction, as accord-
ing to the schedule now arranged the
train conveying it will leave Philadel-
phia at 4.30 o'clock on the afternoon of
July 5th, so that it will pass through |
Tyrone about midnight. Mr. Blanchard
further stated that while definite informa- |
tion could not be given out regarding
speakers, the committee hoped to have
some very prominent men here for at |
least several days of the week.
Mr. Conley, for the Decoration com-
mittee, stated that a decorator from New
York was here last Saturday and after
being shown around the town gave an
estimate that did not vary fifty dollars
from the estimate given by the Harris-
burg decorators. He had received a
number of other offers but they all were
too high. By next meeting night he ex-
pects to have something definite to re-
port.
Col. H. S. Taylor, of the Parade com-
mittee, stated that to have any kind of a
military parade would cost from twelve
to fifteen hundred dollars, and it was the
general opinion that this was too much
for the show it would make, and the
probability is that something else will be
substituted for the military. So far as
the civic parade is concerned the cost of
that will not be over four hundred dol-
lars and that part will be carried through.
Everything also looks fair for big indus-
trial and organization parades.
Mr. Bush, for the Publicity committee,
told of the work that had been done in
the shape of preliminary advertising,
which shows that the committee has
done good work. More stickers are
needed as well as other advertising mat-
ter.
Chairman Blanchard told of a plan to
cover the entire county in one day by
means of automobile parties, for the
purpose of distributing advertising mat-
ter and working up a general interest in
the Old Home week. This plan was car-
ried into effect yesterday, but the result
was not known when the WATCHMAN
went to press.
Mr. Blanchard turther reported that he
had spoken to Dr. Hawes, president of
the Bellefonte Ministerium, regarding a
special program for the churches for
Sunday, July 4th, and the doctor was of
the opinion that so far as possible it
would be in keeping with the week to
have ministers fill the pulpits who were
born and raised in Centre county. How-
ever, at the meeting of the Ministerium
this week a tentative program will be
mapped out and presented to the asso-
ciation at it’s next meeting.
Dr. Weston stated that he was already
working on a good ‘program of outdoor
sports which should prove a big feature.
All in all, everything is looking very
promising for the biggest time in the
history of the county.
How To KiLL THE WOOLLY APHIS.—
The State Department of - Agriculture is
throughout the State on how to kill the
woolly aphis, the coddling moth and
other injurious insects which are so de-
structive to the fruit crop at this season
of the year. Demonstrations scheduled
for Centre county are as follows:
Tuesday, May 18th, in the orchard of A. J.
Gephart, at Millheim. ,
