agent.
——The barber’s union of Bellefonte
is again at work, and beginning next
Monday the price of a shave will be
15 cents and 25 cents for a hair cut,
with all the extra fixin’s at propor-
tionate rates. In fact from now on
the city barbers will have nothing on
the Bellefonte tonsorial artists.
——At the opening of the court in
Clearfield on Tuesday morning D. O.
Downing entered a plea of guilty to
the charge of attempting to rob the
Curwensville National bank. His at-
torneys made ar extenuating plea
to the court for a light sentence. Up
to vesterday the case had not been
disposed of.
D. C. Martz, of Shingletown,
was ir Bellefonte Tuesday making ar-
rangements for the big farm sale he
will have on Thursday, October 5th.
He has several good young mares, a
fine lot of cattle and shoats to sell so
that if you are looking for some stock
his sale might prove the place where
You can get what you want.
During Tuesday’s hard storm
the barn on the farm of Thomas Con-
fer, near Beech Creek, was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
The lightning also struck a wire
fence on the farm of Wilson Herr,
near Salona, killing five head of cat-
tle. The barn of the Ricker brothers,
in Nittany valley, was also struck but
did not catch fire.
——Next Tuesday afternoon Gov-
ernor Brumbaugh and party will pass
through Bellefonte on their first ag-
ricultural tour of the State. An-
nouncement from Harrisburg states
that there will be upwards of one
hundred people in the party. They
will take lunchecn at the Granger's
picnic at Centre Hall, where the Gov-
ernor will make a speach.
According to an established
custom, all fruits and vegetables used
in such great profusion for the deco-
rations of the annual Harvest Home
celebration, at the Reformed church
last Sunday, were taken directly to
the hospital. It is a donation that is
greatly appreciated and should the
individuals who are so blest with
the years’ abundant crops, add to this
contribution from time to time, as a
Harvest Home offering, this celebra-
tion would be the most worthy of
Centre countys’ charities.
——John Bayletts is in the Belle-
fonte hospital with his left leg brok-
en and lacerations of his right leg
and head as the result of an automo-
bile accident last Friday evening.
Bayletts was working on the farm for
Harry Smith between Zion and Hecla
park and about dusk was riding down
the state highway on his bicycle. He
had gone but a short distance when
he saw an automobile approaching.
The driver of the machine had his
right of way and Bayletts was on the
wrong side. Both the driver of the
machine and Bayletts finally became
confused and turned at the same time
with the result that there was a col-
lision. The young man, who is sev-
enteen years old, was knocked from
his wheel and sustained the injuries
mentioned above. Just at the time
one of Alex Morris’ delivery trucks
happened along and Bayletts was
placed in it and brought to the hos-
pital. ‘The driver of the automobile
was H. C. Robinson, of Milesburg,
and from all accounts, he is not to
blame for the accident.
| Troop L Now
Drilling ‘on Mounts
With Their Horses to Look: After
the Men Are Kept Busy.
Other News of Interest.
By Corp. Harry J. Cohen.
Camp Thomas J. Stewart,
El Paso, Texas, Sept. 2nd.
This week’s letter will be much
shorter than usual, owing to the fact
that very little of intarest has trans-
pired during the week. The daily
drills are now on in. full force and as
we now have a horse for every man
in the Troop every man’s time is pret-
ty well taken up in drilling or keep-
ing the hcrses in shape. No more
passes are issued to the men to spend
the afternoon in the city as hereto-
fore, but permission is given to the
extent of fifteen per cent. of the en-
listed men each evening after retreat.
This ruling is imperative on account
of the attention each man is required
to give his mount, and as there gener-
ally are a few of the boys detailed for
either guard duty or special duties,
there are always more horses to look
after than there are men at leisure to
do it.
The drills are getting to be real in-
teresting as well as exciting, although
we, as yet, have been fortunate
enough to escape any injury, and as
each day rolls past we are naturally
becoming better horsemen, so we do
not anticipate any trouble now.
Among the different commands
heard on the field in the equitation
exercises is one called “Take the
track to the right,” or left as the
case may be, and Corp. Wilbur Deck-
er experessed the sentiments of many
when he said it sounded as if we were
a bunch of train robbers and were
about to pull off a “stunt.”
The nights are getting real cold
now and it is not an urusual sight to
see the boys decked under their new
sweaters, which were issued to us the
past week. They make a poor substi-
tute for pajamas or a night shirt, but
out here everything goes, except ru-
mors.
The evenings are generally spent
by the boys at the Y. M. C. A,, in let-
ter writing or playing checkers, and
last Wednesday night there were
eight different boxing bouts pulled off
according to schedule. The fights
were the kind that come under the
head of “clean sports,” and they were
enjoyed by all who were lucky enough
to witness them.
Joe Hall and William Musser just
came in from killing a rattle-snzake,
which they dispatched while out with
their horses near the adobe hut. Joe
has the skin and intends having a belt
made of it, while Bill is busy jingling
the nine rattles and a button.
A bulletin posted on the board at
the association hut last night stated
that the eighteenth infantry would
leave on September 15th for East
Pittsburgh. We do not know whether
to take this news seriously, or wheth-
er it is intended as a joke, but we do
know that the said infantry regiment
is surely celebrating the good rews
more than a little bit.
John Morrison, who is listed as our
veterinary surgeon, intends leaving
for good old Bellefonte in a day or
two, or as soon as his transportation
can be received. John’s enlistment
expired while the Troop was at Mt.
Gretna but he decided to stay with
the boys until he thought he had
enough, and that’s now. By the way,
menticning the name of Bellefente
seems to be a thing of the past, and
Luther Crissman wants to know if
Bellefonte is a foreign country.
Announcement has been made by
the regimental staff that three prizes
will be awarded within the regiment.
One to the Troop that excels in the
sanitary condition of its streets: one
for the best disciplined Troop in the
regiment, and one to the Troop whose
personnel makes the best appearance.
The prizes will be awarded for the
month of September. The captain
has left the matter up to us and we
are going to try and bring at least
one of them back for display at the
armory.
The weather in the day time contin-
ues moderately warm with now and
then a cooling breeze, but it is far
pleasanter than when we first came
here. The boys are all in real good
health and always ready for the mess
call. Regards from all as usual.
——AIll suffrage enthusiasts of
Centre county who contemplate at-
tending the Grangers’ picnic at Cen-
tre Hall next week, are most cordial-
ly invited to spend a part of their
time at the suffrage booth, which will
be in charge of Mrs. Robert M. Beach
and Miss Florence Rhone. Much
worth while literature will be there
for distribution, and some of the at-
tractive new state souvenirs will be
offered for sale. !
——Only three members of borough
council made their appearance at the
public building on Monday evening,
the time for the regular session of
council, and as this number did not
constitute a quorum there was no
meeting.
——William Burnside entertained a!
party of friends at his retreat on top of
Purdue mountain, over Sunday night.
——The Chevrolet automobile agency
of State College will have a good display !
of 1917 cars at the Granger’s picnic at |
Centre Hall next week and anyone inter-
ested in this up-to-date, low price car
should look them up.

——Bass fishermen down Bald Eagle
are making some nice catches, according
to reports received from that section.
Some fishermen report baskets of from a
half dozen to ten, all of which exceed
twelve inches in length. The best fish-
ing is found from Howard down.
——Centre county had its first frost of
the season on Sunday morning. In
Bellefonte it showed quite white in
places, while at Show Shoe it was almost
heavy enough to track a rabbit. Fortu-
nately it did no damage, owing to the
extremely dry condition of the earth.
COP ——
——AlI the coal dealers of Bellefonte
put up the price of coal on Friday. The
increase on hard coal was seventy cents
a ton, and fifty cents a ton on bitumin-
ous. The excuse given for the raise was
the increase given the miners in an
amicable adjustment of wages last April.
——Joseph H. Mosser announces
through the “Watchman, that he has
made his final delivery of goods in Belle-
fonte and wishes in this way to thank
the people for their courtesy and sup-
port of his work. Mr. Mosser has been
engaged during the summer in selling
aluminum ware as a means of helping to
pay his way through College.

——A seven pound daughter, who has
been named Helen Louise, arrived at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. William Overton
Hannon, at Wadsworth, Ohio, on Wed-
nesday of last week. Mr Hannon is a
former Centre county boy and a nephew
of Miss Overton, of the Bellefonte Acad-
emy, while Mrs. Hannon is a distant
relative of President Wilson. Mr. Han-
non says from all appearances the young
lady will be a staunch suffragist.
- eee —
——Trooper Randolph F. Glenn, a son
of Rev. and Mrs. George M. Glenn, of
Tyrone, ‘and who is now a member of
Troop B, at El Paso, Texas, arrived in
Tyrone on Wednesday of last week on a
fifteen day’s furlough. Prior to the call-
ing out of the National Guard in June
Trooper Glenn lived in Bellefonte with
his wife and worked at the new peniten-
tiary. He has enjoyed good health while
in the South, but states that the work
now of breaking in and training their
new mounts is quite arduous.
——The railroad strike has fortunate-
ly been averted, for which the public
generally is thankful, but happily there
is no danger of a strike at ‘the Scenic.
Manager T. Clayton Brown has his
forces well marshalled and arrangements
perfected to continue getting the best
motion pictures obtainable. These will
be shown at the Scenic every evening
during the week except Sunday. Do
you know of another place where you
can get the same amount of amusement
and entertainment for the money as you
can get at this popular place of amuse-
ment? We venture you do not.
——Just at present Bellefonte is in the
throes of an epidemic but it ‘is not the
kind that is inimical to the health of the
general public. In fact it is an epidemic
of chicken stealing and more than one
resident of the town would be only too
pleased to have Dr. Dixon turn his guns
loose on the individuals responsible for
the invasion. Some time ago Dr. Rogers
purchased about twenty nice, plump
chickens which he put in a pen on the
rear of his lot. He also purchased a new
lock which he put on the pen. One
night recently the lock was broken and
in the morning about two-thirds of his
chickens were missing. On Tuesday
night some one made an attempt to rob
D. Wagner Geiss’ chicken coop but who-
ever it was was frightened away before
he secured any of the tempting fowls. A
number of other Bellefonte residents
have lost chickens in like manner and
they all would enjoy seeing the thief put
in durance vile.
Elmer C. Straub, better known
to his many friends as “Waxie,” and
who occupies the old Alexander farm
above the Sunnyside lime kilns, is not
exactly in quarantine but he is just at
present very much isolated in certain
ways. He had a good crop of wheat
this year but with seeding time at
hand has been compelled to buy his
seed wheat, all because he cannot get
a thresher to his barn to thresh out
his crop. Two weeks or more ago the
threshermen were on their way to Mr.
Straub’s farm but when they reached
the bridge over the Buffalo Run they
were warned that it was unsafe for a
traction engine and thresher to cross
and if they did so it would be at their
own risk. Consequently they didn’t
cross. The bridge down at the fair
grounds has also been condemned for
heavy traffic, so that the threshermen
can’t go that way, and the result is
Waxie is unable to get his wheat and
oats threshed and his hay baled. Nat-
urally he is somewhat wroth at some-
body and is trying to find out who.
Borough council has had the propo-
sition for the repair of the Buffalo
Run bridge up several times, but up
to this writing nothing definite has '
been decided upon.
vs. John N. Krumrine,
rine, W. H. Kerstetter, C. A. Kerstet-
ter and Albert Kerstetter, an action
brought at the September term of
court, 1915, and tried at the May
term of court, 1916, to set aside the
judgment of the court confirming the
sale of a piece of land in State Col-
Defendants Get Court Decree.
In the acse of Charles E. Decker
A. H. Krum-
lege, Judge Quigley last week filed an
opinion and decree on a rule taken
out by the plaintiff to show cause why
judgment of non-suit should not be
stricken off in which he dismissed the
rule and discharged the case.
The action had its inception in 1910
when Mr. Decker made an assignment
to-J. N: Krumrine for the benefit of
his creditors. Later his store in State
College and a piece of land he owned
were sold at public sale and bought
in by a third party who subsequently
transferred the same to J. N. and A.
H. Krumrine. These gentlemen im-
proved the buildings on the land and
also sold lots to W. H., C. A. and Al-
bert Kerstetter. Decker then brought
suit to have the titles set aside and
restore him to the ownership of the
property.
At the May term of court, when the
case was heard, the plaintiff, in all
the testimony submitted, failed to
show any semblance of fraud in the
transaction and at the request of the
defendant’s attorneys a compulsory
non-suit was granted. The plaintiff
then took out a rule to show cause
why the non-suit should not be strick-
en off and the case allowed to again
go to trial. It was upon this rule
that the court’s decree was handed
down.
Hunters’ Licenses Going Slow.
In the case of Charles E. Decker
a very great demand for hunters’ li-
censes, notwithstanding the fact that
County Treasurer David Chambers
has had a bountiful supply on hand
ever since the first of August. To be
exact up to noon on Tuesday just six-
ty-five licenses had been issued, but
this is nothing to be alarmed about,
as the big rush always comes in the
two weeks prior to the opening of the
hunting season.
And that suggests the thought as to
the possibilities for hunting, this fall.
All reports are in effect that deer are
very plentiful, but they afford sport
only for that class of hunters who
can afford it and have the time to go
into the mountains for a week or two
during the open season. So far both
turkeys and pheasants are reported
quite scarce. The unusual season of
wet and cold weather during the
hatching season in the spring is giv-
en as the reason for the scarcity of
the birds, and the probability is that
the gunner who gets a good bag this
fall will have to do some hunting.
Squirrel are also reported scarce, but
the frisky rabbit seems quite numer-
ous and may be the one kind of game
that hunters will have a chance to fall
back on.
Big Family Reunion.
The Schencks and the Pletchers, the
Bechcels and the Holters, foar of the
old-time and leading families of the
lower Bald Eagle valley, held a fami-
ly reunion in the Schenck grove north
of Howard, last Thursday, which was
attended by fully five hundred peo-
ple, most of whom were entwined in
the bonds of blood relationship.
Albert Schenck presided at the ten
o’clock meeting, the address of wel-
come was made by Prof. F. M. Pletch-
er and the response by Rev. R.F.
Gass. A choir composed of members
of the four families and the Howard
band furnished the music.
In the afternoon addresses were
made by Revs. C. W. Rishel, W. L.
Dudley and W. R. Griffin, while Prof.
B. F. Pletcher, of Lock Haven, read a
historical sketch of the four families,
which came to Centre county from
Lancatser county in 1795, and estab-
lished homes in the lower Bald Eagle
valley. They were of the Mennonite
faith and in 1811 built a church just
east of Howard which stood as a place
of worship until 1885.
of the above families are now scatter-
ed far and wide, but wherever they
are they have proven the very best
of citizens.
Descendants
