J. Locke last week re-; ceived a new 1916 Buick runabout that will enable him to respond | promptly and quickly to any call for: his assistance. i A little daughter was born re- cently to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Can- field, of Salt Lake City, Utah. Mr. Canfield is a son of Mrs. E. A. Can- field, of this place. A little son arrived in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Eisenhauer last Friday night, and the thriving little chap has been christened Fran- cis Bowersox Eisenhauer. The Bellefonte High school base ball team journeyed to Hunting- don on Memorial day and played the High school team of that place a thirteen inning game, losing out by the score of 5 to 4. An armory dance will be given Friday, June 9th, when the music will be furnished by the Meyer Davis or- chestra of Philadelphia and Washing- ton. Dancing from 9.00 p. m. until 4.00 a. m.

All dogs not already licensed will be killed by the constables of the various districts in which they are located. The auditorium at the High school building was well filled last Friday evening on the occasion of the concert by the High school orchestra and all who were present were loud in their praise of the young musicians. In fact the concert proved a real mu- sical treat. -—On Saturday evening there were just fifty-one automobiles and five big motor busses parked in the vicinity of the Diamond, not counting those parked on other streets. They all brought people to Bellefonte to spend the evening either on business or pleasure. ——Word was received in Belle- fonte yesterday that the official count from the entire State, with the excep- tion of Delaware county, shows that Harry Keller, of Bellefonte, was elect- ed one of the alternates to the Repub- lican national convention. Of course Mr. Keller is a Brumbaugh alternate. ——J. Thomas Harrison, of Pleas- ant Gap, has accepted a good position with the gas company of Renovo and will go there on Monday, June 5th. Mr. Harrison has had considerable Big Show but no Street Parade. Wednesday and drew a large crowd, but there was one disappointing fea- ture, and that was their inability to! give a street parade. Scheduled to arrive here at five o’clock in the morning the show was delayed on the road by some trouble at Mill Hall, so that the first section did not reach Bellefonte until almost eight o’clock. The show travels in three sections and how stupendous it is can be realized from the fact that it was after twelve o’clock before they finished unloading. Consequently it was impossible to give a parade and be ready for the opening of the show at two o’clock. While thousands of people, in fact everybody in Bellefonte, were disap- pointed at not seeing the long line of gaily comparisoned horses, the re- splendent wagons and all the glitter and pomp of the circus parade the management cannot be blamed for the omission. When the “Watchman” told you last week that if you wanted to see a good show to come to the Hagenbeck and Wallace aggregation, it knew what it was talking about, and the thousands of people who witnessed the performances in the afternoon and evening had not one word of re- gret. From the start to the finish it was one stupendous whirl of thrilling circus acts, performed by some of the cleverest circus artists in the country. In fact there was so much going on all the time, in the three big rings and on the two stages, as well as the various aerial stunts, that it was im- possible to follow everything in de- tail. The one thing certain, however, is that it was one of the biggest and cleanest shows that ever visited Belle- fonte. And the menagerie part of the show was all that anybody could desire, even from the famous gardens of Carl Hagenbeck. The stock was all fine and so far as Bellefonte vas concern- ed everything was as peaceful as a Sunday school picnic. That Centre countians appreciate a gocd show was shown by the fact that at the after- noon performance at least five hun- dred people had to stand, the show people, not anticipating such a large crowd, having failed to provide seat- ing capacity for all who were there. Mr. L. H. Heckman is the man who looks after the welfare of the press and he does it so courteously and completely that it is a genuine pleas- ure to meet him. Notwithstanding the big crowd present during the day, and it was es- timated at 7,000 and upwards, the po- lice did not have one single complaint as to any attempt at pocket picking or anything illegal being done, while not a single arrest was made. This is a record that stands well for the show people as well as for the people of Centre county for being decent, law-abiding citizens. The circus management stated that their afternoon attendance was about 7,000 and in the evening the crowd numbered 2,000. And most of the people from the country came to Bellefonte by automobile. In fact more cars came to Bellefonte on Wed- nesday than on any day during the Old Home week last July. The rail- roads carried the smallest part of the crowd. Held for Perjury. Sumner F. Riddle, of Howard, was experience in the handling and mar- keting of gas and ought to prove a valuable acquisition to the Renovo company. ——The Grant cars have advanced in price $30.00. However, Wilfrid I. Miller, agent for the Grant in this place, has another car load on the road and he will dispose of them at the old price. Prospective buyers will do well to place their order at once, for when this car load is sold the price will be just $30.00 more. Prof. John S. Hosterman, who a few years ago served as principal of the Bellefonte High school but who since leaving Bellefonte has been con- nected with the public schools in Scranton, has just been elected prin- cipal of the High school at Danbury, Conn.; at a salary of $2,000 per year. Prof. Hosterman is a native of Penns- valley, this county, and his many friends will be pleased to know that he is forging ahead in the educational world. : Miss Anna Shuey has been awarded first honors in the Senior class at Dickinson College, Carlisle, an honor that carries with it the Rusling prize of $50.00. She was also admitted to the Phi Beta Kappa fra- ternity, one of the oldest Greek letter fraternities in the country, and ad- mission to which can be had on merit alone. Miss Shuey took first honors when she graduated from the Belle- fonte High school and now she is de- serving of congratulation on the fact that she will graduate at the head of her class in college. At the graduat- ing exercises of Dickinson, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey and their family will be guests of Miss Shuey. given a hearing before justice of the peace S. Kline Woodring, on Monday morning, on the charge of perjury and so damaging was the evidence against him that he was held under $1,200 bail for trial at the September term of court. The case grew out of the fact that on May 20th Mr. Riddle came to Bellefonte and made a depo- sition in front of notary public W. Harrison Walker in effect that B. Paul Swartz was innocent of sending threatening letters and attempted ex- tortion, for which crime he had been convicted at the February term of court and recently sentenced to not less than ten years nor more than fifteen in the western penitentiary. At that time he alleged that David A. Holter had told him that he knew the men who had sent the letter and that it wasn’t Swartz. On May 22nd he attempted to make Holter admit that he had told him as above and when he denied ever having made such a statement or any knowledge of the matter Riddle as much as intimated that Holter was the guilty party, consequently Holter and his father, H. C. Holter, swore out a warrant for Riddle’s arrest on the charge of perjury and suborna- tion. Knowing the character of the man when sheriff Yarnell went down to make the arrest, the latter part of last week, he took with him deputy sheriff Harrison Kline and chief of police Harry Dukeman and they sur- rounded the house. Riddle, however, made no resistance. At the hearing his interests’ were looked after by S. D. Gettig and W. Groh Runkle, while N. B. Spangler as- sisted district attorney James C. Furst. ——June 2, sale and bazaar day at 21-1t Gaspur Marturana and Thom- Las Chickerilla, the Barnesboro mur- | derers who were to have been electro- cuted on Monday were granted a res- pite last Friday by Governor Brum- baugh until the week beginning June 26th. The men are under sentence of death for killing and robbing a fel- low countryman. Hunters’ licenses, which this year will be issued about August first, will have on the reverse side a com- plete digest of the game laws and sea- sons, and a special warning to hunters to be careful about forest fire. There- fore when you get your license this it as well as the iront. ——The County Commissioners this week decided that they could not accede to the request of the ladies of Centre county in making an appropriation to put the Mother’s pension bill in force in this county. Thus for another year, at least, Centre county will not benefit in any way from the money passed by the Legislature from mother’s pensions,as the Act requires that the county must ap- propriate an equal amount to that appro- priated by the Legislature. ——Judge Quigley on Saturday sentenced William O’Neal and Wil- liam Macklin, both colored, to pay one dollar fine, costs of prosecution and imprisonment in the county jail for a period of three months. O’Neal is from Pittsburgh and Macklin a man of roving tendencies and the two plead guilty to beating up John Delige, who conducts a restaurant in Philipsburg, on Monday night of last week. They were brought to the county jail the following day. The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks last Saturday received a magnificent elk head and antlers as a gift : from James Allport, of Barnesboro. The head is surmounted by a pair of sev- en pronged antlers of unusual length and spread, making a trophy that the members of the club appreciate very much. Mr. Allport, by the way, has a reputation as a hunter, not only of deer and elk, but also of moose and more than one of the latter animals have fallen before his unerring aim in the wilds of Canada. ——Mr. George H. Musser brought to this office on Saturday a stalk of clover which measured just two and a half feet in length. It was picked on his farm in Boggs township that morning and is a record for clover on May 27th. When it comes to raising big crops, whether it be hay, wheat, corn, horses, cattle or hogs, Mr. Mus- ser can always be found in the front rank among the farmers of Centre county. In fact he is looking forward to cutting one of the biggest hay crops this year ever grown on his farm. On Wednesday Creighton Way, the thirteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Way, of Waddle, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Stevenson, about the same age, were in Belle- fonte for the big show and boy-like wanted to see everything. The result was they got lost from the rest of the party and missed the train home. Nothing daunted, however, they start- ed walking the ties and when their feet grew tired took to the road and walked the ten miles to their homes, arriving there about nine o’clock:in the evening, tired out but glad that they had missed nothing worth see- ing. ——The baggage and express car crew on the night train east on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad last Wed- nesday night had an experience not down on their regular program. A big blooded boar which had been shipped from a point in Iowa to Frank Colyer, at Coburn, broke out of its crate and for a few minutes made things quite lively in its end of the car. But it didn’t last long for after about five minutes rampage the boar lay down and peacefully passed away. The carcass was brought on to Bellefonte and the next morning sent out over the Lewisburg and Ty- rone road to Coburn just as proof to Mr. Colyer that the boar was dead. ——'Squire S. Kline Woodring had the fight of his life with a twenty-one inch brown trout he hooked in the deep waters of Spring creek just above the “Watchman” office on Tuesday evening. It took him almost a half hour to land it, and then Cyr- il Moerschbacher had to give him as- sistance with a landing net. The first net tried broke and the trout went through it, but a second one was se- cured and with this the trout was fi- nally landed. = About five hundred people crowded the bridge and Water street pavement to watch the contest between the fish and man, and many cheered when the man finally won. The trout measured 21 inches and weighed 3 pounds and 14 ounces. On Monday evening Register Frank Sas- serman is reported to have caught a 22 inch trout “somewhere in Spring creek.” year be particular to read the back of | In Honor of the Soldier Dead. { Memorial day in Bellefonte and ' throughout Centre county was some- ' what marred by the inclement weath- ‘er, but notwithstanding the rain good- ‘sized crowds turned out generally to ! pay the annual tribute of love and honor to the soldier dead, as well as loved ones who have gone before. In Bellefonte Our Boys band of Milesburg led the procession from the Diamond to Union cemetery. They were followed by twenty members of { Troop L, resplendent in their new | dress uniforms; a delegation of Lieut. | George L. Jackson Camp Spanish- { American war veterans, members of ; Gregg Post No. 95, G. A. R., and citi- zens generally. The usual services were held in the cemetery by the Post, commander W. H. Taylor offici- ating. The Spanish-American war veterans held special services at the grave of Lieut. Jackson. All the sol- diers’ graves were decorated with the usual floral contribution and on the grave of the late War Governor, An- drew G. Curtin, reposed the custom- ary elaborate wreath contributed by the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. Returning from the cemetery the crowd gathered in the court house where a very impressive and patriot- ic Memorial address was delivered by ‘Dr. Ambrose M. Schmidt. From four o’clock to six the old soldiers were the guests of the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks, at their beautiful and commodi- ious home on High street. Col. J. L. Spangler spent the day in Pennsvalley, making the Memorial address at Rebersburg, Madisonburg, Millheim and Centre Hall. Our Boys band of Milesburg furnished the mu- sic at Centre Hall, having gone over in one of the big Emerick motor buss- es. At all of the above places the cit- izens turned out in goodly numbers to assist the old soldiers in honoring their dead comrades. Worked for Good Roads. Owing to the lateness of the sea- son and farm work all being some- what behind, “Good Roads” day in Centre county last Thursday did not meet with the hearty response and co- operation it probably would have had had the season’s work been normal. Notwithstanding that fact, however, reports from the county showed that something over two hundred men re- sponded to the call by giving a day’s work and about ninety teams had been contributed. Among the places where much good was done were Runville, where eight car loads of cinder were hauled on the main road; Mt. Eagle, where four car loads of slag and two car loads of crushed limestone were used; Howard, where four car loads of slag were used; Rebersburg and Aarons- burg each used up one hundred tons of crushed limestone in improving the road through the towns; Sandy Ridge used two car loads of crushed limestone and a force of thirty men spent the day on the road from Snow Shoe to Clarence, so that all in all, Centre county made some showing and it was all in the line of lasting improvements. ra N Toll Road Will Soon be Free. On Wednesday there was received in Bellefonte a deed conveying the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turnpike from the Turnpike Co. to the State, the deed being accompanied with a voucher for $13,- 211.25, the price agreed upon in the amicable condemnation proceedings. All that now remains is for the deed to be properly executed and the regular legal formalities to be gone through with, when the road will become a state high- way and free of tolls. P. S.—Just as we were ready to go to press we received notice that the matter had been closed up and orders issued to swing the gates open to the public. ; G. Willard Hall Gets Appointment. On Friday of last week G. Willard Hall received .a letter from Harris- burg notifying him to report there on June 1st to take one of the posi- tions as claim adjuster in the in- surance department of the Workmen’s Compensation bureau. The appoint- ment was secured upon the recom- mendation of John Price Jackson and Harry Keller. The position pays, we have been informed, $1,200 a year, and expenses when sent out from Harrisburg where he will be perma- nently located. Mr. Hall left for Har- risburg on Wednesday. ——Frank E.
