BADLY HURT IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK.
—Horace Sherman Jr., of Williamsport,
is in the Williamsport hospital with three
broken ribs, a punctured lung, and serious
body cuts and bruises as the result of a
bad automobile accident he figured in
late Tuesday night.
Mr. Sherman is a manufacturer of soft
drinks in Williamsport, and also travels
the central counties selling his product.
He came to Bellefonte on Tuesday morn-
ing in his eight cylinder Cadillac car, and
after transacting business here made a
trip to Snow Shoe and return. N. C.
Culver, of Williamsport, came in from
Snow Shoe with Mr. Sherman and they
both had supper at the Brockerhoff house.
Mr. Sherman left on his return trip to
Williamsport at 7.30 o’clock and wanted
Mr. Culver to go along, but the latter did
not care about making the trip at night.
Sherman stopped in Lock Haven and at
Jersey Shore and about 11.30 o'clock at
night while driving along near Newberry
he met another car. Both cars had elec-
tric headlights and both drivers were
blinded by the strong light. The driver
of the strange car turned out far enough
to run into the bank, though not result-
ing seriously. : Seeing this Sherman turn-
ed out further to give more room and
got out so far that his car went over the
bank. It turned over three times and
finally stopped with Mr. Sherman un-
der it.
The occupants of the other car saw
the miskap and at once went to Sher-
man’s assistance. They got him from
under the car and then took him to the
Williamsport hospital. While his condi-
tion is serious it is not necessarily criti-
cal. No blame can be attached to any
one for the accident. Sherman is well
known in Bellefonte.
PorTER-HOY Co. INSTALL PERMANENT
REST RooM.—The Potter-Hoy Hardware
company has fixed up a room on the sec-
ond floor of their store building as a per-
manent public rest room, where out-of-
town people can go to take a rest when
they are in town and tired out with
shopping. The room faces Water street
and is cosily furnished with a table,
couch, rocker, chairs, washstand, mirrors,
toilet, etc. The floor is covered with
linoleum and rugs to give it a very
cheerful and comfortable appearance.
Entrance to the room is up the stairway
in the Potter-Hoy store room and the
public is invited to use the room when-
ever they feel like it. The young ladies
employed in the store will cheerfully look
after the comfort of any ladies desiring
to take advantage of this very generous
innovation on the part of the Potter-Hoy
company. The idea was given to Mr.
Potter by Mrs. Jas. W. Herron, wife of
the superintendent of the penitentiary,
who saw the town’s need of rest rooms
for ladies and he acted upon the sugges-
tion ‘most happily.
THE CITIZEN'S FIRE COMPANY OF LOCK
HAVEN WILL BE HERE.—President Harry
Bottorf, of the Citizens Fire Co., of Lock
Haven, has advised the WATCHMAN that
his company will be here to participate
in the big parade on Monday.
It is coming, forty men strong, in full
uniform with $3000.00 worth of apparatus
and a team of $900 black engine horses.
This company is one of the best drill-
ed and equipped in Central Pennsylvania
and will prove a feature of the parade.
The way Lock Haven is going to turn
out to help make our big celebration big-
ger is notice to us of the good will of her
residents and that the community of in-
terest started during those old inter-
county picnics is still cherished in the
charming little Susquehanna City. Let
us make them all glad they came.
LoNG DRAWN OUT CASE.—On Monday
of last week M. S. McDowell, of State
College; Frank P. Blair and M. I. Gard.

heard evidence in the case of the W. L.
Steele heirs vs. the Whiterock quarries,
an action involving the right and title to
173 acres of limestone land in Spring
township, claimed by the defendant com-
pany under an alleged purchase in 1905.
The hearing was continued all day on
Saturday and also on Tuesday of this
week, The plaintiffs were represented
by W. G. Runkle and Gettig, Bower &
Zerby, of this place, and ex-Judge Clinton
B. Savage, of Sunbury, while Blanchard
& Blanchard are looking after the defend-
ants’ interests. The case is a long drawn
out one and it may be some time before

BIG ATTENDANCE AT SUMMER COURSE.
—The six weeks summer course for
teachers at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege opened on Monday and up to noon
on Tuesday just 817 teachers had been
enrolled. They represent most of the
counties in the State and the above num-
ber will likely be increased to one thous-
and or over before the end of the week.
From the big attendance it is evident
that .nuny teachers prefer State College
to other educational institutions in the
large cities.

My Own
Bellefonte, Bellefonte!
My heart for thee is longing
And memories of bygone days
All tenderly come thronging.
Bellefonte.
By MATTIE M. GIVEN, OF PHILADELPHIA.
My own Bellefonte;
I love thy hills and shaded woods;
1 lave thy tree crowned mountains;
The fairy Spring, whence comes thy name,
Thy fair and sparkling fountain.
Oh, deep, clear Spring—whence flows the creek,
Where oft my childish feet have strayed
With loved companions—long since gone,
For joyous hours I have played.
And life holds naught of joy like thine,
Dear home of happy childhood;
Oh, would I could, with friends of yore
Roam once again thy wildwood.
But Fate decrees my weary feet
Shall wander from thee, ever;
Yet deep within my heart thou'lt dwell,
My own Bellefonte, forever.

invitations are being sent out students

——The state road between Bellefonte
and Milesburg was oiled last week and
from the amount of oil put on there
should be no trouble about dust on that
section during Old Home week. H. D.
Rumberger, of Philipsburg, agent for the
oil, supervised the work and as it is
80% crude asphaltum he is certain that
it will prove much more satisfactory than
the lighter oils. we have been using on
our streets.

Quaker city only to pack up their be-
longings. Dr. Bible has not yet secured
a location here, but if he cannot rent a
suitable place he will build a home. Both
Dr. and Mrs. Bible are old Bellefonters
and they naturally feel more at home
here than anywhere else.
——Centre Hall residents will celebrate
the Fourth tomorrow (Saturday) when
the Centre Hall Lodge of Odd Fellows
will hold a big demonstration. The
Pleasant Gap fantastics will ride over
the mountain and be a feature of the

FISH AND MUSKRAT IN TERRIFIC CoM-
BAT.—Lew McQuistion has a penchant
for big trout and he always knows just
where to get them and about the right
time in the day—or rather evening, to go
after them. Just as twilight was gather-
ing last Friday evening he went up above
the railroad trestle and caught four nice,
big ones, but that was only an incident.
The excitement of the trip was fur-
nished Py a terrific fight between a fish
and a muskrat. Lew was fishing on this
side of the creek when his attention was
very unexpectedly attracted by a violent
commotion in the water close to the
shore of the opposite side of the stream.
In less time than it takes to tell it the
combatants were out upon the shore and
what was his amazement to discover
that it was a fight between a muskrat
and a big fish, but it was too dark to dis-
tinguish whether the fish was a carp or
a trout, but Lew declares it was two feet
long or longer. They were locked horns
in some way, the muskrat having the
| fish by the head or the fish having the
rat’s snout in its ponderous jaws, at any
rate they flopped around on the edge of
the shore for perhaps five seconds when
a big flop of the fish landed both back in
the creek. Then there was another vio-
lent lashing of the water which finally
grew less and less until both fish and
muskrat sank out of sight and only a
few ripples upon the surface of the water
could be seen. .
Mr. McQuistion made an investigation
but could find neither fish nor muskrat
and is unable to say whether it wasa
fight to the death or merely a draw.
RIMMEY—NORRIS. — A quiet wedding
took place at high noon on Wednesday,
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B.
Norris, at Fillmore, when Mr. Norris’
youngest sister, Miss Mzabella Alberta
Norris, was united in marriage to Harry
S. Rimmey, of Olean, N. Y. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Frank W.
Lawson, of Stormstown. The attendants
were Roy Mingle and Miss Edna Mingle,
while Helen Norris officiated as flower
girl. Only a few friends were present to
witness the happy nuptials. The bride
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry G.
Norris, of Fillmore, and during the past
two or three years was teacher of Eng-
lish in the grammar school at Juniata.
She is also an accomplished musician
and a charming woman in every way
The bridegroom is also a native of
Fillmore but is now an engineer on the
Pennsylvania railroad and located at
Olean, N. Y. The WATCHMAN extends
congratulations.
HoOUTZ—SNYDER.—On June 24th, 1915,
at the United Evangelical parsonage, by
the Rev. E. Fulcomer, Mr. James O.
Houtz, of Lemont, and Miss Verna M.
Snyder, of Oak Hall, were united in holy
matrimony. They have the best wishes
of their many friends.
MARITAL TROUBLES EFFACED.— Wed-
nesday’s Altoona Times contained the
following item:
Disproving statements made by his
newly acquired mother-in-law that he
was the husband of another woman, Fred
R. Tate, of this city, who secured a mar-
riage license to wed Margaret J. Mar-
tin, of Centre county, yesterday exhibited
a decree of divorce from his first wife,
issued by the court in Centre county, in
1913. Mrs. Martin objected to her daugh-
ter’s marriage on the ground that Tate
was not divorced. The license was
granted, however, and the couple wed,
the divore decree disproving Mrs. Mar-
tin’s contention.
The young man in question is a barber
by occupation and has frequently work-
ed in Bellefonte. He was last employed
by John L. Nighthart but left Bellefonte
quite suddenly about three weeks ago,
and from the above he is now evidently
located in Altoona.
ZEIGLER.—Henry Zeigler, one of the
oldest residents of Marion township, died
at his home at Jacksonville last Satur-
day, of general debility. He was a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Zeigler, was
born in Potter township, and was 89
years, 4 months and 17 days old. His
wife died eight years ago but surviving
him are the following children: Jane E.,
of Jackson, Miss.; Clara A.,, of Nittany;
‘Michael N., of Altoona; John T., of Mill
Hall, and Frank, of Howard. Burial
was made at Jacksonville on Tuesday.
