——Up to this time no trace has been
found of Ario de Santis, the Italian who
escaped from the penitentiary at Rock-

up Bald Eagle valley ended abruptly near
Unionville, and it 1s a grave question if
that was the real trail, or only a blind to
throw the officers of the law off of the
tracks of the escaped prisoner.

E. Hawes and son Edward as guests, and
Mr. and Mrs. John S. Walker with Mrs.
Hawes and daughter Mary left Belle-

and the trip was made without mishap.
—The rush of the football season

every evening. Five cents for regular

‘been especially hard on her, and her
family are fearful of the outcome.

The

it will take five years’ constant work

——On Saturday the deal was closed
whereby the boilers, the coal tipples,
wash room, ash dump, etc., of the State—
‘Centre Electric company plant on the
corner of Lamb and Water streets, were
leased by the Bellefonte Steam Heating
company for a period of ten years. The
plant will be used as an auxiliary to the
present plant of the Steam Heating com-
pany. An eight inch pipe will be laid
from the old Electric company plant to
connect with the present system. This
will give the heating company increased
facilities during any unusually cold
weather and also furnish an auxiliary
plant that can be used in case of a break-
down at the main plant. The lease does
not include any of the main buildings of.

MANY GRANGERS AT CENTRE Hare |
GATHERING.—The Grangers and farmers
of Centre county have taken advantage
of the fair weather this week to attend
the forty-second annual encampment at
Centre Hall, and a glance at the list of
tent holders will show how many more
there are this year than on any former
occasion. In fact the encampment is re-
| solving itself more and more each year
|into a camper’s outing, which means
ance otherwise. This fact has been plain-
ly noticeable this year, but of course the
extremely hot weather may have had
something to do with that. Then again,
the program given this year provided no
extra attraction in speakers outside the
Grange, while in former years State poli-
ticians have elucidated their principles
from the Grange platform on two or
three days of the week.
But the encampment has been a pro-
nounced success for all that. The exhi-
bition of farming implements and ma-
chinery is unusually large and complete,
while the exhibition of fruit and farm
products surpasses anything of the kind
ever seen at the picnic. There is also a
small stock exhibit and a very fair dis-
play of fancy poultry.
The extremely hot weather interfered
with the pleasure of the crowd during
the day time, and everybody hunted the
shade and exerted themselves as little as
possible, but the evenings and nights
were delightful and it was then that the
big camp became the liveliest.
The speaking during the day was con-
fined to members of the county and
State Grange with the exception of yes-
terday, when Dr. Mary Wolfe, of Lewis-
burg, an enthusiastic exponent of Wom-
an Suffrage, talked on “Why Women
Should Vote.” The Anti-Suffrage peo-
ple were also represented on the grounds
with a booth in'charge of Miss Harkin-
son, and some diversion was caused for
the crowd on Tuesday morning by an ef-
fort on the part of the executive com-
mittee to put her off the grounds, even
though she had a permit secured from
Mr. Rhonێ on Monday. Miss Harkin-
son stood her ground, however, and has
been there during the week.
The usual number of attractions
throng the midway, but up until yester-
day it had not been a successful week
for any of them, according to their own
statements. The picnic will close today
with the usual sale of farm machinery,
etc. Following is a list of the tent hold-

Watchman Ad’s Bring Publicity. |
Last week the WATCHMAN ran a six
line local “Want” ad. Yesterday we re-
ceived the following laconic demand
from the advertiser:
‘Please, for God sake take my
ad out of the paper. I only got
a peach basket full of letters.”
This is the best evidence that WATCH-
MAN ads bring results. If you don’t be-
lieve it, try it yourself.
——William G. Laye, of Lock Haven,
who is quite well known in Bellefonte
from having been a vocalist at the Scen-
ic a number of years ago, and Miss
Josephine Miller, also of that city, were
married . on Tuesday evening of this
week. Mr. Laye has for some time past
been touring the country as conductor
and tenor singer of the Schubert glee
club.
——Wilfred Miller, with his wife and
daughter and Dr. Helfrich drove to At-
lantic City in one of Wilfred’s Grant Sixes
recently. They made the run of 228
miles in exactly twelve hours, used
twelve gallons of gasoline and one quart
of oil. This was an average of nineteen
miles to a gallon of gasoline, which
speaks in dollars and cents for the eco-
nomical operation of the Grant.

——Never before in the history of the
town have peaches been so plentiful and
so cheap as they are this year. Carload
after carload has been shipped into Belle-
fonte and this week they have been sell-
ing at forty and fifty cents a basket, for
choice fruit. York county peaches have
sold as low as fifty cents, while Centre
county peaches went at forty cents, and
the probability is that the price will go
still lower.
——The Twenty-second Pennsylvania
volunteer cavalry association will hold
its next annual reunion at Huntingdon
on Thursday, October 14th, with meet-
ings forenoon, afternoon and evening.
As large an attendance as possible is de-
sired. The G. A. R. national encamp-
ment will be held at Washington the
week beginning September 27th and
members of the Twenty-second are in-
vited to join with other cavalry associa-
tions in a big reunion.
——One town in Centre county that is
not only growing but improving more
rapidly than any other of its size is
Pleasant Gap. Two new stores have
been opened there this summer, a new
Lutheran church is being built and a
large number of new houses have either
been completed or are in course of erec-
tion. Practically all of the houses are
being built of brick and back far enough
from the road to afford ample room for.a
front lawn. In fact Pleasant Gap is be-
coming quite a thriving town. #
——The Wallaces are breaking up
their home on west High street, Mrs.
Frank Wallace and her grand-daughter,
Miss Berenice Wallace, intending to go
to Tyrone where Miss Wallace has a
good position in view. Mrs. Wallace
will later go to Hagerstown, Md., to spend
the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Wil-
liams. Mrs. Belle Shaner and son Frank
will remain in Pittsburgh where Mrs.
Shaner has a lucrative situation and
Frank will go to school. The house to
be vacated by the Wallaces has been
rented by Charles Keichline, who with
his wife will move there as soon as the
property is vacated.

——-“What has become of the jitney ?” is
a question frequently heard in Bellefonte.
The fact is the jitney has passed in its
checks and departed from Bellefonte
quietly but surely. It never was a money
maker here and owners of automobiles
who have them for service must get the
coin. In fact “the passing of the jitney”
is being recorded in towns and cities
where they were supposed to be doing a
flourishing business. It was a cheap
mode of travel while it lasted but the
jitney patrons were subject at all times
to the hazards of any old thing on four
wheels that could puff and snort its way
through the public streets.

—-On Sunday afternoon Mr. and
Mrs. Henry C. Quigly with Mr. Quig-
ley’s brother-in-law, Dr. William D.
Horne, of Yonkers, N. Y., left Belle-
fonte in Mr. Quigley’s Buick runabout to
drive to Eagleville for a visit with the
latter’s father, Capt. James A. Quigley.
Along about Howard they encountered a
heavy thunder shower and to keep dry
put on the side curtains. All went well
until they reached the Schenck hill. The
roadway there had recently been surfaced
with fine slate and being well crowned
was quite slippery. When they started
down the hill the car began to skid, and
not being equipped with chains, Mr.
Quigley was unable to control it. The
result was it ran into the ditch, the front
wheels went up the bank and the car
gently turned over on its side in the road.
With the top up and curtains down the
three people were imprisoned in the
overturned car until another party of
automobilists came along and released
them. None of the occupants were
injured in anyway whatever, as the car
was moving slowly when the accident
happened. After being righted an ex-
amination was made of the car and aside
from a slightly bent front axle it was
undamaged. The party continued their
trip as if nothing had happened and re-
turned home in the evening without fur-
ther mishap. :
A BoLD HOLD-UP ON STREETS OF BELLE-
FONTE.—A bold highwayman held up J.
Calvin Smith, son of Register J. Frank
Smith, on east Linn street as he was on
his way home at an early hour last Sat-
urday morning, according to the young
man’s declaration.
Smith had gone with a party of auto-
mobilists down below Lock Haven and it
was about three o'clock when they re-
turned to Bellefonte. Leaving the party
at the Diamond Smith walked out Alle-
gheny street and just as he reached Lamb
street a man came down the steps at the
corner of the .Hastings property and
asked the time of night. He wore a
slouch hat pulled low over his head so as
to make it impossible to recognize him.
Smith told him the time and the man
crossed Allegheny street and started
down Lamb.
Mr. Smith walked out Allegheny, turn-
ed the corner at the Lutheran church
and started up Linn street towards
home. Not a light was visible on the
street and in the shadow of the many
trees on Linn street it was quite dark.
Just as he reached the entrance to the
A. G. Morris property a man stepped
from the hedge, poked a revolver in
his face, ordered “hands up” and told
him to pass over his money and his
watch. Smith stated that he had only
one dollar in his watch pocket and the
man demanded it.
Smith reached for his watch pocket
and as he did so the man shoved the
revolver against his side right over his
arm. This gave the former an oppor-
tunity and with a quick upward blow he
knocked the weapon from his hand then
grabbed him. He struck the highway-
man twice before the latter managed to
break away. The bad man jumped for
his revolver and Smith thought discre-
tion the better part of valor and started
up street. The highwayman made no
effort to follow but hurled an epithet
after Smith’s retreating figure.
Smith is unable to give even an indef-
inite description of the man, owing to
the dark, but thinks he was a little larger
than he is and perhaps a little heavier,
and wore a derby hat. The highway-
man ‘got no money although Smith
claimed he had forty-eight dollars in his
pocket and carried a gold watch. The
police have been unable to get upon the
trail of any suspicious character, al-
though it is reported that about a week
previous night prowlers were seen on
Curtin street.

UNDERWENT SERIOUS OPERATION.—
Morris Cowdrick, son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. Paxton Cowdrick, underwent quite a
serious operation, at the Lock Haven
hospital, on Monday afternoon. Late
last winter a soreness appeared on his
right leg which finally developed into tu-
berculosis of the bone. Minor opera-
tions had been performed without suc-
cess and at a consultation of physicians
on Monday it was deemed advisable to
amputate the leg above the knee as a
possible means of saving his life. The
operation was performed ‘and while the
young man is doing fairly well there is
no means of determining at present
whether the operation will accomplish
the desired result. Mr. Cowdrick, who
will not be twenty-one years of age until
Christmas, has been living in Lock Ha-
ven since his marriage about a year ago.

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.—Last week
Mr. and Mrs. George R. Stewart, of Me-
chanicsburg, motored to State College
with their son to enter him as a student
in the college. They started home on
Monday and in the vicinity of Ebens-
burg Mr. Stewart undertook to teach his
wife how to drive the automobile. In
descending a steep hill the machine got
beyond the control of the woman, ran
into a ditch and turned turtle. Mr. Stew-
art was pinned underneath the car and
killed outright. Mrs. Stewart escaped
with a good shaking up.
