Of

home. The Centre County Soldiers’
all who need it, and will continue to
do so. But to do this the people of
Centre county must give a more liber-
al response. So far Bellefonte has
shown up very well in the number of
contributors, and every day new
names are being added; but other
places should also help.
The men and women who are at the
head of the association and are charg-
ed with the distribution of the funds
are a strict guarantee that every cent
contributed will be properly and judi-
ciously spent. The families who need
help need it now just as much as they
will need it three months hence, there-
fore a quick response is the kind that
will be appreciated.
LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS TO THE RELIEF
FUND.
Below we publish the names of
firms, corporations and citizens who
have thus far contributed to the fund
for the relief of dependent families.
The amounts contributed are omitted
on the belief that the contributors
have given according to their ability
and that a small contribution is just
as acceptable as a larger one. If any
names should inadvertantly be omit-
ted in writing this list the association
would be glad to be corrected. We
have just commenced asking for sub-
scriptions and cards are coming in.
We are only publishing those who
have thus far returned their cards.
Next week we will publish the names
of those whose cards will be received.
This list does not include names of
contributors to the funds of the B. P.
0. E, L. 0. 0. M. and other benevo-
lent associations, nor members of the
various churches who prefer to make
their contributions through their or-
ganizations. We publish the name of
the organization and will be glad to
publish the names of the individual
contributors if the list is furnished us.

CANNOT EVICT SOLDIER TENANTS.
Already several landlords whose
houses are occupied by families of
soldiers at the front have given no-
tice that if their rent is not paid
promptly they must vacate the prem-
ises. For the benefit of such we have
been requested to publish Section 60
of an Act of the Legislature providing
for the organization, discipline, main-
tenance and regulation of the militia
of the Commonwealth, approved April
9th, 1915; P. L. 80, which is as fol-
lows:
No civil process shall issue or be
enforced against any person mustered
into the service of this Common-
wealth, ior of the United States, dur-
ing so much of the term as he shall
be engaged in active service under or-
ders, nor until thirty days after he
shall have been relieved therefrom;
provided, that the operation of all
statutes of limitations and presump-
tions arising from lapse of time shall
be suspended upon all claims against
such person during such term.
This does not mean that said sol-
diers are exempt from paying rent,
but simply establishes a moritorium,
. of Preventing any landlord from evicting
a soldiers’ family or in any way dis-
tressing them until thirty days after
he has been discharged from the serv-
ice.
On the other hand, every effort will
be made by the Soldiers’ Relief asso-
ciation to see that the rent is paid.
In fact they will insist that the men
at the front send enough of their pay
home to pay the rent, which is no
more than right, if the association as-
sumes the burden of otherwise sup-
porting their families.
A movement is on foot to organize
the physicians of Bellefonte into a
full medical corps to give their serv-
ices in attendance on dependent sol-
diers’ families, when needed, in lieu of
making a contribution to the general
fund. To do this the town will be dis-
tricted and each doctor given a cer-
tain district to look after.
——Just seventy-two tickets were
sold at the Bellefonte depot of the
Pennsylvania railroad for the Tol-
chester Beach excursion, which left
here at 1.40 o’clock Sunday morning.
The excursionists had a nice day and
arrived home at an early hour Mon-
day morning.
Relief association is extending aid to !
——Harry D. Lane, conductor on
switch engine No. 5, in the Bellefonte
yard, received a bad cut on the head
just before noon time yesterday. He
and his crew had been to Milesburg
to bring a box car to Bellefonte and
Lane was on top of the car with the
result that he got hit on the head by
the outlet-pipe at the water tank. His
injury was given prompt attention
and he was later taken to his home in
Tyrone on the 1.08 train.
——At the annual meeting of the
Nittany Country club on Saturday
Col. W. Fred Reynolds was elected
president; John M. Shugert, vice
president, and W. Harrison Walker
secretary-treasurer. John J. Bower
was selected as a member of the
Board of Governors to take the place
of Col. Reynolds. About forty mem-
bers were present and after the
meeting they all partook of a deli-
cious spring chicken dinner.

——Every day the city papers
contain sensational articles on the
man-eating sharks which now infest
the Atlantic ocean off the Jersey
coast, and to the casual reader who
is used to seeing nothing larger than
the big trout in Spring creek the
stories told might seem peculiarly
“fishy.” This week, however, Chas.
M. Heisler has been exhibiting a
tooth of a man-eating shark and it
certainly looks as if it would play
its part in mutilating any part of
a man if set in jaws powerful
enough to do the work. The tooth is
shaped like one of the knives on a
mowing machine or reaper, with a
fine saw-like edge, but sharp as a
newly-ground axe.
Kill the Stray Cats.
Now that an epidemic of infantile
paralysis is sweeping over some of
the eastern States, with a number of
cases in Pennsylvania, it behooves the
citizens of every town and community
to take all due precautions against the
disease. One of the worst causes for
the spread of the disease, authorities
aver is ascribed to that household pet,
the cat. And if the pet cat that stays
around the house is a menace, how
much more so is the cat that is all the
time straying from one place to
another. Therefore, as a preventive
against infantile paralysis as well as
various other diseases a war should
be waged on all the stray cats in
Bellefonte. There are a number of
places in Bellefonte where cats are a
nuisance both day and night, and the
only sure remedy is a dose of cold
lead.

Unionville ‘Restaurant Robbed.
On Saturday night or early Sun-
day the restaurant of Harry M.
Stere, at Unionville, was robbed of a
quantity of goods and $28.00 in cash
Early Sunday morning before Mr.
Stere knew that his restaurant had
been burglarized John Logue, a
young man of that town, appeared
at his home and told him his store
had been broken into and robbed the
night before and that he would help
him hunt the robber if he wanted
him to.
Stere immediately went to his res-
taurant and found that it had been
robbed all right, and at once tele-
phoned to Sheriff Yarnell. That
official and chief of police Harry
Dukeman went to Unionville and
after looking things over sent for
young Logue. The officers interrogat-
ed him as to how he come to know
about the robbery before anybody
else and after enduring the sweating
process for a brief spell Logue broke
down and confessed. He also took
the officers to an old shed in the
rear of his home where they found
all the goods and cash. These were
returned to the owner and Logue was
brought to Bellefonte and jailed to
await trial by the court,
Jelly Kettle Boils Over, Starts Fire.
About 9.30 o’clock on Wednesday
morning Mrs. Eben Bower, of west
High street, left a kettle of jelly on
the stove and went out of the kitchen
into the yard. She had been out
only a minute or so when looking
toward the house she was horrified to
see smoke pouring from the kitchen
door and windows. Rushing to the
kitchen door she discovered a lot of
clothes she had just ironed, and which
were hanging over the stove, to be all
on fire. Grabbing a section of garden
hose she ran through the flames and
smoke and attached it to the spigot
at the kitchen sink, and turned the
stream upon the flames. In the mean-
time Mrs. Charles Keichline attached
a line of hose in her kitchen and trail-
ing it over also assisted in extinguish-
ing the flames.
Both fire companies responded to an
alarm but by the time they got there
it looked as if the fire was out, but
several members of the Logan investi-
gated and found that the fire had
burned through the ceiling and a hole
had to be cut in it to make sure the
fire was out. The fire evidently start-
ed from the jelly kettle boiling over
and bursting into flames which - com-
municated to the clothing hanging
over the stove. In addition to the
clothing burned, the cupboard was
badly charred and the ceiling ruined.

at nine o’clock on Sunday night. Two
men were reported to have been seen
in the neighborhood of the Breon
farm on Buffalo Run shortly after
ten o'clock that night, and two
strange men were reported at Snow
Shoe Intersection at two o'clock
Monday morning, but there is no
certainty that they were the men.
BOTH MEN RECAPTURED.
The two men had only one day of
freedom, as they were both recap-
tured on Monday afternoon at the
Beech Creek trestle on the Belle-
fonte and Snow Shoe railroad, a
Shoe. The men who made the cap-
ture were two penitentiary guards,
Abram and Charies Houser. Evi-
dently going on the clue that the two
men reported having been seen on
Buffalo Run and at Snow Shoe In-
tersection were the escaped prisoners
the two guards made the trip up the
Allegheny r.ountains in Charles
Houser’s autc:iobile. At the trestle
they came von the two men sitting
alongside t-: road taking a rest and
being in an automobile were able to
get to thera before they had any
chance to get away. Neither Smith
nor Styers offered any resistance and
they were bundled into the car and
brought to the Centre county jail,
being landed there between five and
six o’clock in the evening.
The men were taken before J udge
Quigley on Tuesday afternoon who
sentenced each one to serve out his old
sentence and an equal length of time
for escaping from the penitentiary.
Smith was sentenced at Clearfield in
June, 1915, for not less than two nor
more than five years for aggravated
assault with intent to kill, so that
his total sentence will now be not less
than four nor more than ten years.
Styers was sentenced at Lock Ha-
ven in January, 1916, to not less than
one year nor more than two
years so that his total time now
will be not less than two nor more
than four years. They were both tak-
en back to Pittsburgh on Wednesday
morning.
