Fortunately at that place the cars were being pushed ahead of the engine so that none of them were derailed and nobody hurt. Pas sengers and mail were transferred at the wreck and the Tyrone work crew re- ‘paired the damage. —Automobilists from Altoona, Tyrone, Philipsburg, Snow Shoe, ‘State College, Bellefonte and Lock Haven held a picnic and motorists’ convention at Hecla park last Friday which proved an interesting as well as delightfully pleasant gathering. The two men specially interested in get- ting up the picnic were Representative Harry B. Scott, of Philipsburg, and Prof. C. L. Goodling, of State College. Repre- sentative Scott had the backing of Comr- gressman Charles W. Rowland and thirty car loads of Philipsburgers, while Prof, Goodling had his “pet” bulldog which will not ride in anything but a Haynes car, and an all-star baseball team with which to hold up the reputation of State College. The car attendance was good, given by a man who claimed to have counted them of cars. Considerable interest was mani- fested in the ball game in the afternoon, between teams from State College and Philipsburg, the former winning by the that they had not thought it necessary to bring their best team along. During the game Harry Townsend, of the Phil- ipsburg aggregation, twisted his ankle and had to be sent home. Neither State Highway Commissioner Cunningham nor Paul C. Wolf, secretary of the Pennsylvania Motor Federation, were present, but Commissioner Cunning- ham sent his speech which was read at the meeting held after the ball game by G. W. Brusstar, registrar in the automobile division of the Highway Department. Quite a number of the automobile con- tingent remained at the park for the evening dance. DoLL’s BAKERY TO BE CLOSED OUT.— William Doll has decided to close out his bakery in the Bush Arcade in the very near future, having already quit baking bread. He has been driven to this through the competition of the city békeries, a number of which ship bread into Bellefonte. To be exact, every gro- cery store in Bellefonte with one excep- tion, gets bread every morning from a city bakery in either Altoona, Williams- port or Harrisburg, and the result is the big bulk of Bellefonte’s bread supply comes from outside the town instead of going to the home bakeries. As an illus- tration in Mr. Doll’s case, the time was when he used three barrels of flour every day in his baking, while lately his aver- age has been less than three-fourths of a barrel. © The ice cream business has also been crippled by the wholesale makers and dealers. As soon as he can close out his store Mr. Doll will move his ice plant from the rear.of the Bush ‘Arcade ta .one of the office buildings out" at ithe" Nittany fur- nace, which was purchased by his broth- er, George Doll, and install it there. He will then embark in the ice business and also manufacture ice cream for the wholesale trade. May he have success in his new undertaking. THouGHT HE Was A HoLp-uP MAN.— Some time between . nine and eleven o'clock last Thursday night a telephone pole broke off .and fell across the state road about midway between Bellefonte and Zion; or to be exact, it was the very pole where the fatal aceident occurred about eighteen montns ago. F. S. Knecht, of the Palace garage, on a trip down the road between eleven and twelve o’clock, drove into the pole but fortunately was not going fast enough to wreck his ma- chine. Being unable to get the pole out of the road he went to a near-by farm house and got an axe intending to chop the pole in two. But just when he returned to the road he saw another machine coming. Mr. Knecht stood in the road and signalled the driver to stop but he, fearing the Bellefonte auto dealer was a hold-up man, attempted to dash around him, with the result that he, too, collid- ed with the pole. No great damage was done his machine but the occupants got a good shaking up. The men in the car then assisted Mr. Knecht in removing the pole from the road and the next day the break was fixed by the telephone company. A MiIracULOUS EscaPE.— Clyde Smith, lineman for the American Union tele: phone company, had a miraculous es- cape from electrocution last Saturday morning, and that he is alive today is probably due to the “first-aid” treatment of a fellow workman, Mr. Smith and W. O. Knarr were down at Milesburg testing wires, using a loop for that purpose. Knarr was on the pole and Smith on the ground. The test made Knarr thew his end of the wire down and instead of going over it fell on one of the high tension wires of the State-Centre Electric Co., carrying 2,100 volts, and Smith got the full force, being knocked unconscious to the ground. : His fellow workman hurried to his side and found him unconscious. He at once resorted to the pumping of the arms, and various respiratory methods taught in “first aid” work and after laboring almost ten minutes succeeded in restoring him to consciousness. He was then brought to a Bellefonte phy- sician who found no permanent ill ef- fects but who stated that the “first aid” work probably saved his life. ——Joseph Undercoffer, assistant bag- gage agent at the Pennsylvania railroad depot, has been housed up the past ten days with quite a painful illness. "MOTORISTS PicNiC' AT HECLA PARK. | at 228, but the crowd did not appear! commensurate in size with the number score of 8 to 4, but big Dave Atherton explained their defeat on the grounds : ——MTrs. C. E. Kline, of east Curtin : street, is offering her home at private sale. She is planning to leave Bellefonte and locate in Philadelphia, where one of her daughters has been for some months. ——A fair sized crowd was present at the Yearick-Hoy reunion at Hecla park on Tuesday and the program was car- ried out almost to the letter. The music was furnished by the Howard band, and considering the fact that it was organized less than a year ago, their playing was excellent and much appreciated by all. ——There were four wagons at curb market on Tuesday morning with large quantities of potatoes, corn, cabbage and apples, and a few plums, beans, beets, i radishes, etc. There were few buyers, however as there has ‘been such a small curb market so far this season that house-wives have not been very frequent patrons. ——A force of state highway men are now at work resurfacing and oiling the state road down Nittany valley, and auto- mobilists and travelers through that sec- : tion should remember that the road will | be roped off for sixty-four hours after the oil is put on. This is done not so much to give the oil time to soak in as‘a precaution against accidents, as the oil | is applied quite heavily and until it dries | is very slippery. ——Edward J. Eckenroth hitched up one of his young horses on Wednesday evening and just as he got into the buggy the animal frightened at something, plunged across Ridge street and colliding with the pavement threw Mr. Eckenroth out. The buggy ran over him and he was quite badly bruised while his right leg is also hurt, but up until yesterday noon his physician was unable to deter- mine whether any of the bones were fractured. te ——1In last week’s WATCHMAN was pub- lished a notice of the supposed marriage of Ralph Judy, of Baileyville, and Miss Annie Deter, of Graysville. The infor- mation was received from what we con- sidered a perfectly reliable source, how- ever, a letter received from the young lady this week states that the item was incorrect, as she has not entered into a matrimonial alliance with any one. The WATCHMAN apologizes for the uninten- tional error and makes this correction in justice to the two. parties most intimate- ly concerned. ——The crusade started by the Belle- fonte authorities against the automobile speed maniac and the driver who per- sists in running through the town with his cut-out open has not yet reached that stage where motorists deem it the better part of discretion to regard the law, as laid down in the borough traffic ordi- nance. The latter is broken ozens, of times a day and so badly bent all the time that there is little justification for its existence. The Bellefonte police are threatening greater vigilance in the fu- ture but a few more arrests and the consequent fines will do more to abate the nuisance than anything else. ——There is a law providing a fine of fifteen dollars for any property owner or tenant who fails to cut Canada thistle and other noxious weeds before they go to seed and pollute the community. There are many lots in Bellefonte, both vacant and occupied, that have been allowed to grow up with an abundant crop of all kinds of weeds. These should be cut now, as the seeding time of many of them will soon be here. The Bellefonte authorities are sending out notices to a number of property owners this week to cut their weeds and it would be well for all property owners to : clean up their back lots. Do this before September first, or you may be liable to a fine as well as the expense of having the weeds cut by the borough authorities. ——Buyers are now traveling through Centre county purchasing horses for the British and French armies. All horses must size up to certain specifications. Of course the first requisite is that they are sound in body, limbs and wind. For the cavalry they must be at least fourteen hands high and weigh from eleven to twelve hundred pounds. For the artillery the weight must be not less than four- teen hundred. While the age limit is not such a big factor the horses must be young enough to be vigorous and speedy. The maximum price paid is $140 for cavalry horses and $160 for artillery. Two car loads have already been ship- ped from Ceritre county to an assembling yard on the sea coast and the buyers ex- pect to ship another car load within a few days. ——While up at Point McCoy on a berry picking expedition, on Thursday of last week John McNichols and Percy Parsons, two Bellefonte boys, came across a blacksnake of the racer variety and by means of forked sticks managed to capture it alive. In order to render it harmless they tied a string around its neck and caging it in a pasteboard box started for home. Of course, boy like, they stopped frequently to examine their captive and every time they did so would hold it up by the string around its neck, with the result that by the time they reached home the snake was so nearly choked to death that it couldn't even wriggle. But that did not prevent the boys from showing their prize and later delivering it te Dr. Weston, at the Y. M. C. A. as a fit subject for snakeology. The snake was six feet in length and as thick as a‘'man’s wrist. a dis, the well known junk ‘dealer, has de- pects to leave Bellefonte with his family ber for his southern home. about closed a deal for the sale of his close up all his business here within a month. In his Florida home he will de- vote all his time to growing oranges, watermelons and the various fruits na- tive to that State. Mr. Mendis and fam- ily have been residents of Bellefonte for many years, and though of Italian nativi- ty, they have been good citizens and will be missed by many people in Bellefonte. Mr. Mendis, hiowever, is not at aii definite in the thought that he will never return to Bellefonte, so that if he makes a com- fortable fortune in a few years he may decide to retire and come to Bellefonte to live again. ~——The ladies of the Lutheran church will hold a festival Saturday evening, August 28th, on the grounds surrounding the church.
