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.

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.

——You've got to go a huntin’ for
wild turkey but you always know that
the best motion pictures are to be found
at the Scenic. It gives a lot of entertain-
ment for the fee charged. Manager
i Brown believes there is nothing too good

: 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.

—W. Harrison Walker Esq., has re-
; ceived a full line of automobile license

| promptly. In this connection the State
| Highway Department has sent out a no-

——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.

——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.

. FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE. —Fire in the
stock room on the third floor of the dairy
and creamery building at State College,
last Friday morning, caused a loss of
$8,000. The fire was confined to the
room and top floor, the fire walls and
