A Pitiable Case,
On Monday an automobile arrived
in Bellefonte containing the matron
of the borough home at Philipsburg
who had in her charge Vivian Craw-
shaw, the twelve year old daughter of
William Crawshaw, who has worked
for the State-Centre Electric compa-
ny in this place at different times
during the past two years, though he
has not been regularly employed by
them, nor has he gained a residence
in Bellefonte.
The case is an extremely pitiable
one. The ciild is absolutely helpless
and devoid of reason. Crawshaw and
his wife have been separated for some
time and there is now an action pend-
ing against him in the Centre county
courts for desertion and non-support.
Mrs. Crawshaw and the child have
been in the Clearfield county home
and because the child was so much of
a care the Clearfield County Commis-
sioners decided to get rid of her.
Under the supposition that her father
was working in Philipsburg they sent
the child there but the Philipsburg
authorities refused to receive her and
putting her in charge of the matron
of the Philipsburg borough home they
sent her to Bellefonte.
Arriving here the matron went di-
rectly to the district attorney, James
C. Furst and deliberately told him
that there was the child and to do
what he could with it. Not wishing
to do anything that could in anyway
make Bellefonte responsible for the
child’s maintenance it was taken to
the county jail and an experienced
nurse secured to care for it. District
Attorney Furst, Judge Quigley and
Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell then got
busy and after considerable tele-
graphing and telephoning finally got
admission for it in the Polk Institute
for feeble minded children in Venan-
go county, under the indigent -chil-
dren’s act. It alco required consider-
able urging on the part of the local
authorities to get the State Board of
Health to waive the quarantine regu-
lations and permit the immediate en-
try of the child, but they finally waiv-
ed the regulations.
In the meantime Mrs. Mitchell
busied herself on Tuesday in purchas-
ing suitable clothing for tie child and
on Wednesday she was taken to the
Polk Institute by deputy sheriff Har-
rison Kline and Mrs. Emma Bayletts.
The question of the support of the
child will heve to be settled in the fu-
ture; in the meantime the action of
the matron of the Philipsburg home
while she was in Bellefonte is being
considerably criticised by those who
had anything to do with her.
Right Time to Train Dogs.
The “Watchman” has received the
following from Joseph Kalbfus, sec-
retary of the Siate Game Commis-
sion:
I write you this open letter today,
and as it may be a matter of consid-
erable interest to some of your read-
ers, 1 hope you may publish same
without charge.
We are frequently in receipt of in-
quiries at this time relative to the
right of those who may owr dogs to
turn them loose to run as they please
at this time of the year. Some of
these inquiries come from the owners
of dogs, and some from those who are
opposed to dogs, and for the benefit
of both, I quote the Law in so far as
game is concerned, a part of Section
21 of the Act of May 1st, 1909, as
amended by the Act of "April 15th,
1915, P. L. 183, which reads as fol-
lows:
“Provided, That dogs, when accom-
panied by and under control of their
masters, may be trained upon any of
the living wild game or birds of the
State, excepting elk and deer and
fawn, from the first day of September
to the first day of March next follow-
ing, so long as no injury is inflicted
upon said animals or birds.”
The dog must be with his master
and must be under the control of such
master, and the game pursued must
not be injured. Dogs zannot be turn-
ed out to run at large, under penalty
~ of death to the dog at the hands of a
Game Protector, when such dog is
caught pursuing game or injuring
game in violation of this provision.
Under the provisions of the Act of
June 3rd, 1915, P. L. 791, dogs even
under control of their masters may be
killed at any time by the owner of
lands upon which such dogs may be
found, or by the employee of such
owner, unless the dog shall have at-
tached to his collar the tax tag de-
scribed by the Aet, and the owner
shall have no recourse at Law in
either.case.

To Whom Aid is Given.
In order to ren:.ove from the minds
of some people a misconception of the
purposes and duties of the Soldiers
Relief Association, we deem it right
to state that when, in going to the
front at the call of his country, a sol-
dier leaves behind a family dependent
upon him, having no other means of
support, this association stands ready
to step in and lend assistance to such
dependents in keeping with their need.
This does not mean, however, that
any stated sum is required to be paid
to a soldier's family when necessity
for such aid does not exist; or in oth-
er words, where the absent soldier
was not the sole or even partial ‘sup-
port of his family, or where the for-
mer employer of the absent soldier
continues his wages, such aid
cannot be expected. The real pur-
pose of this association is to
relieve cases of actual need and
extend that aid only where such
need is apparent.
Additional contributions to the fund
have been received from the follow-
ing: Charles E. Gilmore, Centre Dem-
ocrat, Keystone Gazette, Washington
Grange No. 157, Mrs. Elizabeth H. B.
Calloway.
——Local golfers are in a quandary.
The links at the Country club are a good
place to lose golf balls, and all the play-
ers have this misfortune once in awhile,
and now they find, or rather can’t find,
any golf balls on the market. Inquiries
of the dealers in New York and Philadel-
phia brings back only the information
that there are no golf balls on the mar-
1 ket. :

| and the result has been a good at- !
' tendance, notwithstanding the edict
‘and Mary G. Butts and was born in | of the State Board of Health that no
| children under sixteen years of age
{ should be admitted to the grounds.
| This rnling of course, prevented many
families from taking tents who other-
children at home. As it was, however.
most of the tents have been occupied.
Of course in the aggregate the at-
tendance has been: less than in former
‘years, but at that the crowd has been
large enough every day to make the
gathering quite interesting. Cne
thing was especially noticeable this
the railroad traffic.
has always required twenty- five cars
to handle the crowds while this year
it has been done very comfortably and
promptly with five cars.
not mean, however, that the crowd is
remarkable inroads the automokile
has made on railroad traffic. Every
day from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred automobiles were parked
on the grounds and yesterday the
number probably excezded three hun-
dred.
In the matter of exhibits the en-
campment this year is on a par with
former years, the fruit and vegeta-
ble display being especially fine and
the implement exhibit large and com-
plete. In addition to the farming im-
plements there are several fine dis-
plays of automobiles, something new
to the encampment.
The program as printed in last
week’s “Watchman” was carried out
in detail. Hundreds were there for the
Sunday services while the big attrac-
tion on Tuesday was the visit of the
Governor and his party. The Gov-
ernor in his talk to the Grangers ad-
vocated a more liberal expenditure of
money in the improvement of the pub-
lic roads and gave his Highway De-
partment a big boost for efficiency.
The main speech of Wednesday was
by Congressman Clyde Kelly, of Pitts
burgh. The encampment will close
today with a public sale of various
exhibits. ;

Drug Store.
Basil J. F. Mott, son of Mrs. Qdillie
Mott, on Monday afternoon purchas-
ed the Krumrine drug store on Alle-
gheny street and will conduct the
same ‘in the future. Mr. Mott is a
graduate of the Philadelphia School
of Pharmacy and holds a state certifi-
cate. Since his graduation he has
had charge of a drug store in Phila-
tb
rine to dispose of his store in this
place was an opportunity to get in
business in his home town that the
young man could not resist. * It is his
intention to make it as complete a
drug store as can be found anywhere
in the State, outside of the large
cities. Mr. Krumrine will now de-
vote his entire attention to his store
at State College. :

Governor Brumbaugh, Secretary of
Agriculture Charles E. Patton, State
Highway Commissioner Frank B.
Black and party on their first agri-
cultural tour of the State passed
through Bellefonte at exactly 3.40
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon. And
“passed through” is exactly what they
did, because neither the Governor, Mr.
Patton nor Mr. Plack stopped a min-
"ute or even slowed up their cars, but

could not go there and leave their

pushed right on, just as if Bellefonte
was not the home of three distinguish-
ed Governors. In fact it is the belief
of some that the Governor and at
least a portion cf his party became
bewildered wher they entered the
borough limits and gzetting on the
wrong street fziled to pass the “re-
viewing stand.” :
Of course the “reviewing stand”
in this instance is only a matter of
speech, because cutside of the usual
crowd of men lcunging around the
Diamond the only persons who were
there specially to see the distinguish-
ed visitors were Harry Keller Esq.,
W. L. Malin and R. B. Taylor. Even
’Squire G. Wash Rees was absent. The
route of the Governor’s party had
been plainly marked by the State
Highway people on Monday with blue
arrows, so that it was easy to follow.
When the pilot car reached the corner
of Spring and Bishop streets it nat-
urally followed the way the arrows
pointed east on Bishop and north on
Allegheny to the Diamond. A half
dozen or more cars followed, but when
the Governor’s car came z2long it sail-
ed right north on Spring street to
Linn and on out the State road with-
out a stop. All the other cars follow-
‘ed suit, and that is the way the Gov-
ernor and his party passed through
Bellefonte.
The party arrived at the Grange
picnic at Centre Hall about twelve
o’clock on Tuesday noon where they
had luncheon in the main dining tent.
Following the luncheon a meeting
was held in the auditorium at which
addresses on farm topics were made
by Governor Brumbaugh, Secretary of
Agriculture Patten and others. Leav-
ing Centre Hall the party crossed the
mountain to Pleasant Gap then made
a detour to the new penitentiary and
State College without making any
stops. The party traveled in big, high-
powered cars and from the look of
them they at least raised the dust
along their route.
Former Bellefonte Citizen Buys a
Edward M. Speer, 2 son of the late
William T. Speer of this place and a
brother of W. Francis Speer, recent-
ly purchased the First National bank
of Hays, Kan., and took possession on
August 27th. Mr. Speer was original-
ly a telegrapher by profession and
had charge of the Western Union tele-
grah office in this place, succeeding
W. L. Malin. He went west almost
thirty years ago and during the past
twenty years has been engaged in
the banking business in Hoxie, Kan.,
for a number of years past having
‘been cashier of the Hoxie National
bank.
The Hays National bank which he
recenily purchased was organized in
the early eighties as the Ellis County
bank, and is the oldest banking insti-
tution in Ellis county, Kan. In 1888
it was merged into the First Nation-
al bank with A. P. West as president.
In 1893 E. F. Madden took charge and
Irad been in control ever since. Dur-
ing that time it Las grown to be one
of the firmly established and solid
banking institutions of the west, and
is now a member of the Federal Re-
serve bank of Kansas City, Mo. Belle-
fonte friends of Mr. Speer will be
glad to learn of his success in the
banking business of the great State
of Kansas.
Suffrage Work at the Granger Picnic.
Miss Anna McCue, of Philadelphia,
a State organizer for the Woman Suf-
frage Party of Pennsylvania, arrived
in Bellefonte Sunday evening, to as-
sist the local organization at the
Grangers picnic, where the Woman
Suffrage Association of Centre county
has been having a tent. Miss McCue
spoke Wednesday afternoon in the
auditorium, and was present at the
Suffrage -tent on Tuesday, to answer
any objections to suffrage as well as
to obtain signers to a petition, which
will be presented to the Legislature in
January asking for the submission of
a referendum on the Suffrage ques-
tion. Miss McCue is well known in
the State as the “little girl with the
big voice;” “the factory girl orator,”
etc. Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, chair-
man of Centre county, was in charge
of the Suffrage tent and was assisted
by Mrs. R. S. Brouse, the Misses
Rhone, Miss Edith Sankey, Miss Grace
Smith, Mrs. Frank Bradford, Mrs.
David Bradford, Mrs. G. O. Benner
and Mrs. William Keller.
A car filled with suffragists and
decorated with suffrage banners met
Governor Brumbaugh at Potter's
Mills on Tuesday afternoon.

Took the Pledge and Escaped the
Penitentiary.
At a special session of court on
Monday afternoon William Nichols,
who is a resident of South Philipsburg,
escaped a penitentiary sentence for
wife beating and making threats on
her life by taking the pledge to ab-
stain from the use of all spirituous,
vinuous and intoxicating liquors for
a period of five years. Nichols was
arrested some time ago on complaint
of his wife after he had beaten her up
and threatened to kill her and has
since been in the Centre county jail.
He was brought before Judge Quigley
on Monday afternoon and district at-
torney James C. Furst, after stating
the nature of the man’s offense, said
that he had received frequent plead-
ing letters from his wife asking that
he be sent home. That they had five
small children, the oldest of which
was ten years and the youngest two,
and that inasmuch as the man was
willing to take the pledge for five
years he asked that sentence be sus-
pended. After ccnsiderable question-
ing of the man the court suspended
sentence but admonished Nichols if
he is ever brought before him on a
similar charge he will be given a
maximum sentence.
THIS MAN NOT SO FORTUNATE.
John Haney, of Orviston, plead
guilty to the charge of pointing a gun
and threats to kill and was sent to
the panitentiary for a period of not
less than one year nor more than two
years. Haney was in Philipsburg on
September first and going into the
bar-room of the Ramsdale house de-
manded of the proprietor, Krondat
Juschik, as well as the bartender, ten
dollars which he said he had left with
them some time previous. As neither
of them knew Haney, or what he was
talking about, they naturally declined
handing over the ten spot. There-
upon the man drew a target rifle and
attempted to shoot both Juschik and
his bartender but in both cases the
cartridge failed to explode. Before he
could try another cartridge Haney
was overpowered and arrested. It
afterwards developed that he had
gotten into the wrong hotel and that
the man he had given his ten dollars
to for safe keeping was the proprietor
of the Central Lkotel, close to the
Ramsdale. This faet, however, did
not exonerate him from such a pro-
miscuous handling of firearms and
he will now have a year in the peni-
tentiary to think the matter over.

Escaped Prisoner Recaptured.
“Fred Herring, the prisoner who
escaped from ' ‘the * ‘western peniten-
tiary at Rockview last Wednesday |
morning, was caught by Harry Dun-
lap, one of the prison guards, late
Thursday afternoon in the Fisher
orchard near Unionville. As stated
last week Herring was seen shortly |
after his escape on the farm of
Charles Shuey, ahove Roopsburg. He
evidently kept in hiding during the
day but about three o’clock on Thurs-
day morning he made his appearance
at the Centre Lime company’s plant
up Buffalo Run. None of the men
who were on duty at the time knew
that he was an escaped prisoner, else
they would probably have taken him
captive and claimed the reward of
fifty dollars paid for the capture of
an escaped prisoner by any one not
an officer of the penitentiary.
When the workmen learned on
Thursday morning that a prisoner
had escaped they at once told of the
man’s visit there during the night
and the penitentiary officials were no-
tified. As it was quite evident that
the man was making for the railroad
Dunlap went up Bald Eagle valley
and late that afternoon the man
made his appearance in the Fisher
apple orchard af the foot of Bald
Eagle mountain. Dunlap had no
trouble taking him into custody and
bringing him to the Centre county
jail.
Like all other recaptured prisoners
district attorney James C. Furst at-
tempted to induce Herring to plead
guilty and stand his sentence, but he
has sc far persistently declined to do
so. He avers that in the first place
he was not sent te the Rockview peni-
tentiary but to the Pittsburgh insti-
tution; and in the sezond place he
maintains that he did not break out
and escape. That he did not climb a
wall or a high fence, but merely
walked away and thus he was not
guilty of jail breaking. Unless he
changes his mind he will be tried at
the September term of court which
begins on the 25th.

——W. Homer Crissman is not in the
very best of humor these days because a
few nights ago some sneak thief entered
his garden and stripped one of his
choicest pear trees of about a bushel of
nice pears, leaving only about half a
bushel for Mr. Crissman and family, and
those all at the top of the tree. Mr.
Crissman has quite a lot of fruit on his
lot and every year some of the choicest
of it is stolen. In fact the thieves have
not confined themselves entirely to steal-
ing his fruit but once in awhile raid his
hen coop, and naturally he is becoming
tired of such pilfering and the next man
who attempts anything of the kind is
likely to get more than he expects.
A Double Wedding.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. George
Harper, or. west College avenue,
State College, was the scene of a
double wedding on Tuesday when
their two daughters, Misses Myrtle
Viola and Maude Edna Harper, were
united in marriage to G. Dallas Mor-
rison, of Louisville, Ky., and Stanley
Stevens Harman, of Nescopeck, Pa.
Mr. Morrison and Miss Myrtle Viola
were the first to take the marriage
vows and immediately thereafter Mr.
Harman and Miss Maude Edna were
united in marriage. Both ceremonies
were performed by Rev. D. G. Felker,
of Blandburg, brother-in-law of the
brides. The only attendants were the
little flower girls, Violet Felker, of
Blandburg, and Ruth Bottorf, of
Bellefonte.
The parlors of the Harper home
were beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion, the color scheme being green
and white. The brides were gowned
alike in white silk and carried book
shower bouquets. Both couples went
‘by auto to Tyrone, Mr. and Mrs. Har-
man to go to housekeeping at Lewis-
town while Mr. and Mrs. Morrison
will spend the coming winter in Lou-
isville, Ky. Both brides received a
large number of beautiful and useful
wedding presents. ' In addition to the
friends from State College who were
present the following from out of
town were among the guests: Mr.
and Mrs. William Bottorf, of Belle-
fonte; Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Harper,
of Pennsylvania Furnace; Mrs. Mary
Harper, of Pine Grove Mills, the
grandmother of the brides, and Rev.
and Mrs. Ds G. Felker, of Blandburg.
ROAT—DAUGHERTY.—St. Paul's Meth-
odist Episcopal church, State College,
was the scene of a pretty wedding at
1.30 o'clock on Wendesday afternoon of
last week when Frank B. Roat, of 'Pitts-
burgh, and Miss Mary Daugherty,
a daughter of Mrs. Catherine
Daugherty, of north Barnard street,
State College, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. The ceremony
was performed by the pastor of the
church, Rev. J. McKendree Reiley, in the
presence of a number of friends of the
contracting parties, the beautiful ring
service being used.
Mrs. Percy Smith, of Curwensville,
was matron of honor, Harold Smith, also
of Curwensville, was best man hile the
little Misses Marian Isenberg and Kath-
leen Meel officiated as flower girls, and
Mildred Isenberg as ring bearer. Miss
Alice Reiley played the wedding march
and several other appropriate selections.
Mr. and Mrs. Roat have already gone
to housekeeping in their own home at
Sheridanville, a suburb of Pittsburgh.
REILEY—LITZ.—Dr. William Edgar Rei-
ley and Miss Alma Litz, both of Clear-
field, were married at the home of Prof-
Milton W. Eddy, Highland avenue, State
: College, at noon on Tuesday, the ceremo-
i ny being performed by the bridegroom’s
brother, Rev. J. McK. Reiley. The only
attendant was Katherine Lowther, of
Bellwood, as flower girl. Miss Alice
Reiley played the wedding march. Fol-
lowing the ceremony a wedding break-
fast was served after which the young
couple left for a brief honeymoon trip to
Eagles Mere. The bride is a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Litz, of Clear-
field, and is quite an accomplishedfyoung
lady. The bridegroom is a practising
physician in Clearfield, has charge of the
X-Ray laboratory at the Clearfield hos-
pital and is president of the Board of
Health of that borough.
NEIDIGH—ROWLAN.—A wedding of in-
terest to many of the residents of the
western end of Centre county was that
of Curtis Neidigh, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Newton C. Neidigh, of Ferguson
