On Wednesday afternoon counsel
for the Commonwealth and the de-

ed an agreement whereby the case
that was to have come up this week
was continued on condition that

draw the motion far a new trial of
the case on which he was convicted
in February and allow him to go be-
fore the court for sentence on that
conviction, which was done, and Mr.
Schenck gave bail in the sum 0f$1,000
to appear next Monday for sentence.

port recommended repainting of the
ceiling in the recorder’s office and
better ventilation for the treasurer’s
office. At the jail the office chairs
were found in bad condition and new
linoleum is needed in the office. The

ed with sheet iron to keep the men

cells; the floor in the kitchen is in
bad shape, the cellar windows need
repairing and the barn re-roofed.

ing until next Monday morning.

——The many Bellefonte friends of
Dr. R. G. H. Hayes, who went to Atlan
tic City last week for a good rest, will
be pleased to learn that he is responding
splendidly to the invigorating atmosphere
of the salt air climate and expects soon
to be as fit as ever.
—1It didn’t exactly snow the next
day but following the terrific rain of
Tuesday evening it blew up cold enough
on Wednesday to give a chill to the fel-
lows who were defeated on Tuesday.
Yesterday morning was unusually cold
for this time of year, but fortunately
there was no frost to do any damage to
the gardens, etc.
This is the very first local item
that has ever been set on an Inter-
“7pe for use in the Democratic
\/atchman. It may not be of much
cignificance to the reader of this
paragraph now, but the time will
come shortly, we hope, when the
great efficiency of the Intertype will
reveal itself in a much more read-
ablz paper for you.
——While residents of Bellefonte and
Centre county are anxiously looking
forward to the appearance of the Carl
Hagenbeck-Walilace big show in Belle-
fonte on May 31st, they should bear in
mind that there is a big show at the
Scenic every might and it costs only ten
cents to see it all. There are no side
show arrangements or extras, but a great
big program of motion victures such as
cannot be seen anywhere else in this part
of the State. Manager T. Clayton Brown
always keeps the Scenic a little in ad-
vance of other picture shows.
——At a special session of court on
Saturday Frank Kohan, of Whiterock,
plead guilty of selling liquor without a li-
cense and sentence was suspended upon
the payment of the costs. George
Mothersbaugh, of Taylor township, also
plead guilty to shooting at some lumber-
men and after hearing the evidence and
the gravity of the case Judge Quigley
told him he would suspend sentence this
time but he would have to arrange to
pay the costs; and if he ever came back
on the same or a similar charge that he
would send him to the penitentiary.
——On Tuesday evening sixteen mem-
bers of the Bellefonte Civic club went to
State College and engaged in a debate
with members of the Civic club of that
place on the question of moving pictures.
Those who took part in the debate were
Miss Overton and Miss Hill, of Belle-
fonte, and Mrs. Dupree and Mrs. Ernesta,
of State College. Music was furnished
by the College orchestra and Mrs. Horn
favored the gathering with a song. At
the conclusion of the debate Mrs. Wil-
liam Foster entertained the visitors as
well as members of the State College
club and orchestra with refreshments.
——IFH. S. Bomberger, of Palmyra,
Lebanon county, was found guilty in the
criminal courts of Westmoreland county
at Greensburg, last Thursday, on the
charge of false pretense, having obtained
money from a number of farmers of that
county by representing himself as treas-
urer of an alleged organization known as
the “Pennsylvania State Cattleman’s Pro-
tective Association.” Prior to going to
Westmoreland county Bomberger visited
Centre county, but failed to find this a
lucrative field for operations, owing to
no cases of the foot and mouth disease
in this section. Within two weeks after
leaving this county he was arrested at
Greensburg.
——Miss Anna Shuey, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey, of this place,
and who is a Senior student at Dickinson
College, Carlisle, was accorded high hon-
ors recently when she was elected May
Queen by the student body for the pres-
entation of “The Triumph of Spring,” a
masque by Linn Harold Harris, a Dick-
inson graduate. The play was given
last Wednesday and the papers contain-
ed very flattering comments on the part
taken by Miss Shuey, whose identity
was not generally known until she ap-
peared in her royal robes. Last Thurs-
day’s Philadelphia Press contained a
very good picture of Miss Shuey as well
as the other co-eds who took part in the
play.
——The Centre county debating team
lost out in the final debate of the Central
Pennsylvania debating league held at
State College on Saturday afternoon and
evening. The two teams in the final
debate were those from Dauphin and
Clinton counties and the former was de-
clared the winner, thus entitling them to
the handsome silver loving cup offered
by Vance C. McCormick, of Harrisburg,
to the winning team. Naturally the
friends of the young men who repre-
sented Centre county in the debate
would have liked to see them win, but as
the judges decided otherwise, and their
judgment is beyond question, we can only
compliment them on being able to make
the very good showing they did, and
trust they will have better luck next
time.
MORROW—STRAUB—--Announcement has |
just been made of the marriage of Miss |
Mary E. Straub, a daughter of Mr. and |

fonte High school and a charming young |
lady in every way. For several years she |
has been a teacher in the Methodist Sun- |
day school and has taken a great interest |
in church work. For several years past |
she worked as a seamstress in Bellefonte
and in her various associations formed
many friends who will be sorry when she
leaves Bellefonte to make her home in
the Smoky city, but. the best wishes of
all for a happy and prosperous married
life will go with her.

Joseph J. Carpeneto, son of Mr. and Mrs. |
Louis Carpeneto, and Miss Ethel M.
Flack, a daughter of councilman Harry
Flack, took place in St. John’s Catholic

o'clock, the ceremony being performed
by Rev. McGarvey. They were attended

of East College avenue.
——C. V. Burton, of Pittsburgh, repre-
senting the Pathe weekly moving picture
aggregation, has been in Centre county
this week taking pictures and if they
turn out all right there is every likelihood
that Bellefonte and Centre county will
appear upon the screen in most of the
cities and towns in the United States in
the near future. Mr. Burton was at-
tracted here by the story sent out from
State College of the tremendous damage
being done in the Seven mountains by
fierce forest fires and when he got there
he had difficulty in finding a place to get
the kind of a picture desired, although
‘he eventually succeeded in getting a few
hundred feet of film which he hopes will
turn out all right. Mr. Burton is still in
Bellefonte and if possible will take a film
or two in this immediate vicinity before
returning home. Yesterday morning in
company with Cyril Moerschbacher, T.
Clayton Brown and George T. Bush he
went up Spring creek to stage a trout
fishing scene, taking along with them as
the central figure a fine 16 inch trout
young Moerschbacher had just caught.
They found a suitable place to make a
good picture and while Mr. Burton was
arranging his machine Moerschbacher
was making casts. Just as Burton got
his machine in working order Moersch-
bacher got a strike and the moving pic-
ture man began to grind, and it was well
he did because he got a very realistic
moving picture of landing a 22 inch trout.
——Forest fires within the past two
weeks have done considerable damage in
the Barrens and over on the Seven moun-
tains. Scores of men have been out
fighting the flames day and night and
their labors resulted in the saving of
much valuable timber which otherwise
would have been destroyed. Among the
fire fighters were the students of the
forestry school at State College, under
the direction of Prof. J. A. Ferguson,
director of forestry. :
——Arrangements are being made for
a big dance in the armory on Friday
evening, June 9th, at which the music

chestra, of Philadelphia and Washington,
D. C. A concert will begiven from 8.30 to

tors of 50 cents. The dance will be open

BELLEFONTE HOSPITAL ADOPTS UNIQUE
PLAN TO RAISE FUNDS.—At a meeting
recently held, the Ladies’ Auxiliary of
the Bellefonte hospital adopted a novel
plan for raising much-needed funds nec-
essary for the building of their X-Ray
laboratory. It was decided to compile
and distribute cook books made up from
the best known and home tried recipes
that can be secured in Centre county. It
is requested that all ladies of Centre
county sufficiently interested in the pur-
pose will send a tried and favored recipe
to the secretary, Mrs. Edmund Blanch-
ard, Bellefonte, Pa. From these recipes
a book will be made up and sold through-
out the county. Every purchaser of the
book assists materially in the laudable
projects of the society.
It is.also necessary to have the co-ope-
ration of the business interests. To at-
tain this end the auxiliary has arranged
with the Misses Carrie and Myrtle Mil-
ler to call on the different business and
industrial establishments throughout
Centre county to explain the plan in
full. They will have the endorsed cre-
dentials of the society and it is sincerely
hoped that they receive the assistance
necessary to make the project a most
glowing success.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. — On Sunday
Charles Campbell and family, ina Ford
car, motored from Palipsburg on a trip
to State College. Just this side of Le-
mont as they were rounding a curve a
big seven passenger touring car from
State College bore rapidly down upon
them head-on and in his endeavor to
avoid a collision Mr. Campbell was forced
into the fence, wrecking the right front
wheel, bending th: fender and otherwise
damaging the car. Mrs. Campbell also
received som: painful cuts and bruises.
Securing help they got the car fixed, as
they supposed, and cranking the ma-
chine endeavored to continue their jour-
ney, but the steering gear refused to
work and before the car could be stop-
ped it went over an eight foot embank-
ment. F>r-tunately no one was seriously
hurt in 1 his mishap. The car that was
responsiule for the accident never stop-
ped, the occupants simply laughing at
the Campbell family’s misfortune.
Dogs KILL MANY SHEEP—David Mapes,
a weil known farmer residing near Beech
Creek, had twenty-four out of a flock of
twenty-eight fine sheep killed by dogs at
an early hour Sunday morning. Mr.
Mapes went out to his field to bring in
his cows and caught the dogs in the act
but was too late to save but four of his
flock. Unfortunately the dogs escaped
as Mr. Mapes had no gun, and the fact
that he failed to recognize them still
leaves them at large upon the community.
Clinton county will naturally have to
reimburse Mr. Mapes for the sheep kill-
ed in accordance with an appraisement
made by competent persons, but at that
he will not get near what is coming to
