SHOT IN MISTAKE FOR WILD TURKEY. | —John Meese, of Milesburg, is in the | Bellefonte hospital suffering from a gun- | shot wound sustained on Saturday when some unknown hunter plugged him with "a load of buckshot in mistake for a wild turkey. Mr. Meese was hunting on the point of the mountain west of McCoy & Linn’s iron works. He was standing in a clump of underbush watching for wild turkeys when there was the report of a gun and simultaneous therewith Meese dropped to the ground. In'falling he faced around and saw a man about twenty paces away, though the undergrowth was too thick to recognize him. Realizing that he had been shot and not knowing how seriously: Meese called to him to come and help him down the mountain that he had been shot. But instead of doing so the man took to his heels and ran away as fast as he could. Mr. Mcese then walked and stumbled down the mountain as best he could till he reached the home of Frank Wagner, where he told what had happened. A little girl was then sent down to McCoy & Linn’s works for help and Elmer Bryan and Nelson McGinley went to the Wag- ner home and helped Meese down the mountain after which John McCoy brought him to the Bellefonte hospital. i In removing his clothing two buckshot | which had gone through the fleshy part | of his left leg fell from his clothing while | a physician removed two more from his right leg. One of the buckshot penetrated : , the groin and is still in the man’s body. | On Friday a son of William Martin, { who lives ‘east of Bellefonte was peppered | with fine shot but it was at so great a | distance that only a few of them punc- | tured his clothing. | FARMER SHOT IN THE NECK. On Monday afternoon while Alvin { Way, a well known Halfmoon township [farmey, was driving over the mountain i from Port Matilda to his home near Stormstown he received a shot in the : neck from the gun of a pheasant hunter. i Mr. Way called out that he had been shot and the hunter promptly went to his assistance. The only shot that hit him was the one in the neck and after bind- ing up the wound Mr. Way drove on home. The hunter went to Port Matilda, secured a doctor and took him to Mr. Way’s home. The physician found that the shot had not penetrated any danger- ous spot and merely dressed the wound. The hunter paid all bills. On Tuesday Mr. Way drove to Philipsburg and had his neck examined at the Philipsburg hospital and it was found that the shot had lodged in the tissues near the wind- pipe but the doctors advised against try- ing to remove it, as it is not likely to ‘cause any trouble or discomfort. — GO MANY WILD TURKEYS KILLED ON OPEN- :NG OF HUNTING SEASON.—Naturally with wild turkeys coming in as legal game this season after being protected for two years they were the one species of game especially sought for by the ar- my of hunters who went into the moun- tains for the opening of the hunting sea- son last Friday. And the result was quite a number of the birds were killed and in consequence wild turkey was a prominent dish on many tables on Sun- day. One of the most successful of the hunt- ing parties included Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick, John Van Pelt and L. H. Gettig, of Belle- fonte, and two residents of Curtin, who went on the mountain below Xitchen’s Gap and bagged four turkeys, each of the Bellefonters bringing home one. Oth- er Bellefonters who were successful were G. Fred Musser, who shot an eight pound hen on the mountain above Filmore; Wilfred Miller, Samuel Mulbarger and Harry Ward. Up at Pine Grove Mills the successful turkey hunters were Fred Gearhart, Rob- ert Reed and Ralph Heberling, while down at Howard Thomas Pletcher and Matthew Rodgers, Jr., each got a turkey. Up at Stormstown our good old friend and staunch Democrat, J. Hile Griffin, seventy-six years old, went out and got a nice ten pound hen, while his son Her- man also brought in a turkey. Of course there were quite a number shot of which we failed to get a record. W. L. L'oster, at State College, got one on the Muncy mountain. Turkey was probably a favorite dish at State College on Sunday, as the fol- lowing hunters each secured a bird: J. Laird Holmes, Thomas McMann, William L. Foster, Roy Porter, I. C. Holmes, Prof. Marshman and several students whose names could not be secured. Yesterday morning Miss Ida Daugh- enbaugh, aged 20 years, of Howard, went out on the mountain and bagged a nice wild turkey and gray squirrel. And now she is one of the proudest girls in How- ard over her good luck. Two of the biggest wild turkeys seen in Bellefonte in years were brought here on Monday by Raymond Stiffler, of Madera, and W. C. Sauers, of Conemaugh. They were both gobblers, with whiskers six inches long and weighed twenty pounds each. They were shot on the mountain above Filmore. The two men also had a nice bunch of squirrels. Squirrels are fairly plentiful this yedr, George E. Lentz coming in last Saturday with a bunch of twelve as the result of the first two day’s hunt, gotten in the vicinity of Paddy’s mountain. Other hunters bagged strings of from three to a half dozen. So far hunters have had poor success hunting pheasants. While the birds may be plentiful enough the woods are yet too thick to make bird hunting good. ——— A —_— = ——The first basket ball game of the season will take place in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium this (Friday) evening be- | tween the Y. M. C. A. Big Five and the State College A. E. Game will be called at 8.30 o'clock.

It gives a lot of entertain- ment for the fee charged. Manager i Brown believes there is nothing too good | for Bellefonte and he strives to give : patrons of the Scenic the latest and best he can get in moving pictures. The con- | stant large attendance shows how much his efforts are appreciated. ——The Bellefonte Academy football team was up against a different kind of Indians this year than the reserves sent up from Carlisle last year, and had to play hard to win by the score of 15 to 6.

Harrison Walker Esq., has re- ; ceived a full line of automobile license application blanks for the year 1916 and {is prepared to attend to all applicants | promptly.

Don’t wait until the last week in December when there is always such a deluge of applications that it will be impossible to furnish licenses and tags promptly. . coo ——Announcement was made last week that Clyde Carney, the prisoner who es- caped from the western penitentiary at Rockview on October 7th, had been cap- tured between Greensburg and New Florence. It later developed that the man captured was not Carney. And on Tuesday of this week the penitentiary officials received word that Carney had been captured in Chicago. A penitentia- ry official went out to Chicago to see if the man is Carney. ——Wilbur Mathias, who disappeared from the home of S. K. Walker, in Fer- guson township, on the twenty-eighth of September, was found at the home of Mrs. W. H. Stoner, near Centre Hill, last Friday. The lad, who is eleven years old and an orphan, had evidently become homesick and wandered away after he had been sent to the field to salt the cat- tle. He is a son of Mrs. Jennie Mathias, of Altoona, and had been bound out by the Blair county Commissioners after the nine children. She is now in a position to take care of her family and the Com- missioners went to Centre Hill on Satur- day and took the boy home. No charge of ill treatment was made against Mr. Walker or any member of the family. ——The will of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Pile, widow of William H. Pile, who died in Philadelphia on October 8th, was pro- bated in that city on Monday of this week. It disposes of an estate valued at approximately $100,000 and among the bequests is one of $15,000 to the “widow and sons” of the testator’s brother, Robert J. Haynes. Mr. Haynes was a resident of Snow Shoe and his widow spends part of her time in Williamsport and part in Buffalo, N. Y. The sons are all dead but there are a number of grand- children who will benefit by the bequest. Mrs. Pile was well known by the older people of Bellefonte and Snow Shoe and was quite liberal in her bequests to vari- ous relatives, though practically one- third of her estate wasleft to endow free beds in the Pennsylvania hospital, Phil- adelphia, as a memorial to her son, Robert Haynes Pile. >on ——Postmaster Robert M. Foster, of State College, is alleged to be making an effort to have the R. F. D. route No. 3, which is now covered from the Bellefonte postoffice, transferred to the State Col- lege office. What object postmaster Fos- ter has in endeavoring to have such a change made postoffice officials here are at a loss to understand, but certain it is, that it is not in the interest of the pub- lic served with their mail on this route. Every day the mail is sent out from the Bellefonte postoffice after all the im- portant mails are in and residents on Route No. 3 get their mail promptly. Were they served from State College at least half their mail would be just one day late. Of course, the change is only being agitated from the State College end and it is pretty certain that the post- office authorities will inquire into the situation very carefully before they even consider it.
