As the result of last week’s session of criminal court two men were sent {0 the western penitentiary. One was William H. Snavely, of Penn town- ship, convicted last Thursday of fel- onious rape He was sentenced on Friday to not less than three years nor more than five in the western penitentiary. During the hearing of the case the evidence presented by the Commonwealth showed that Snavely claimed to be a healer of disease through the ancient medium of pow- wowing, and he admitted that he was possessed of that gift and used an Indian turnip in his work. In sen- tencing Snavely Judge Quigley told him that he had evidertly been living in a bad atmosphere, one tainted with the fetishes and superstitions of the dark ages and he hoped that his time in the western penitentiary would be sufficient for him to forget such non- sense and when he canie out he would be in a condition to live a more man- ly life. The other man sent to the peniten- tiary was Robert Ryan, who on Au- | gust 15th beat up an old umbrella | mender down at Blanchard and threatened to kill several residents of that town for interfering. Ryan was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Roy W. Kunes, and refused to plead guilty out of court. His case was called for trial on Friday morning and after the Commonwealth had pro- duced about two-thirds of its evidence Ryan changed his plea from “not guilty” to “guilty.” Judge Quigley at once sentenced him to not less than two vears nor more than three in the western penitentiary, telling him at the time that he was giving him just one more year than he would have gotten, had he heeded the district at- torney’s advice and plead guilty at once. But his refusal to do so, which kept the jurors ir. Bellefonte an extra day, just cost him an extra year in the penitentiary. Both Ryan and Snavely were taken to the penitentia- ry on Monday morning by sheriff George H. Yarnell, Robert Bennison and James Kane. Other cases disposed of during the latter part of the week were as fol- lows: Commonwealth vs. Jacob White, as- sault and battery. Prosecutor, Er- nestine Lapp. A verdict of not guil- ty was returned and the costs equally divided between the prosecutor and defendant. Commonwealth vs. Mike Kush, non-support. Prosecutor, Julia Kush. A verdict of guilty was returned and the defendant was sentenced to pay a fine of one dollar and $15.00 a month to his wife, and give a bond for faith- fully carrying out the rentence of the court. Commonwealth VS. Llewellen Rhoades, malicious mischief. Prose- cutor, John Henderson. A verdict of guilty was returned and sentence was suspended upon payment of the costs. Commonwealtle vs. Andrew Frantz, larceny and receiving stolen goods. Prosecutor, Sterling Simcox. The ju- ry returned a verdict of not guilty and put two-thirds of the costs on the prosecutor and one-third on the de- fendant. —e- ——Bellefonte friends of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Reynolds for the payment of the tax on the Phoenix mill property, $359.00 in all, and the secretary was ; authorized to draw an order for the same when Col. Reynolds desired it.

Wright reported that he had consider- ed the matter of a plan for a compre- hensive sewage system but could not | give anything like an accurate esti- | mate as to the cost of same, but ex- nite report at the next meeting. Dr. Dixon’s letter was referred to him with instructions to communicate with the doctor and tell him what the bor- ough is doing along this line. ! Chairman Seibert, of the Water | committee called attention to the fact ' that the State-Centre Electric com- | pany’s bill for pumping water during { the month of August was $331.99, | which was unusually large.

R. B. Taylor’s bill for $189.00 was again brought up for consideration "and both the Street committee and { borough solicitor reported in favor of | paying it, and council so voted. Bills to the amount of $1,455.71 were approved and council adjourned. — The Fauble Store will be closed tomorrow—=Saturday, Oct. 7, until 6 p. m.

The venerable John Gill, of Julian, had his right leg broken just above the ankle, last Thursday evening, when he was knocked down and run over by an automobile driver by S. S. Gates, of Altoona. The accident hap- pened about 8.45 o'clock at the north east corner of High street bridge. Gill was orn his way up town while Mr. Gates drove down High street and turned north on Water street to go to Beezer’s garage. He was not driving fast but unfortunately swing- ing too wide and was almost over to the pavement on the left hand side of the street. Gill evidently did not no- tice the car and stepped off of the pavement right in front of the ma- chine. He was knocked down and his right leg caught under the wheel, resulting in a compound fracture of the bone. He was at once taken to the Belle- fonte hospital where the fracture was reduced and he is now undergoing treatment. “ — The Fauble Store will be closed _ tomorrow—Saturday, Oct. 7, until 6 i p. m.

Suffragists of these counties, it is announced, will ke headed by their ablest leader, their most forcible ora- tor, their shrewdest tactician and most experienced and best campaign- er, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. Dr. Shaw’s chief of staff will be Mrs. J. 0. Miller, of Pittsburgh, State chair- man, and both will be assisted by | county leaders and workers. The suffrage fcrce will deploy first at Lebanon, October 16th, whence | they will manoeuvre to Bellefonte, in | Centre county, October 17th; Cou- | dersport, in Potter county, October | 18th, and Lock Haven, in Clinton county, October 19th. At all these places, upon the days given, ~ounty | conferences will be held, methods of campaigning discussed, and suifrage business transacted. Orders of the day issued, according | to Mrs. Miller, insure four busy days from reveille to taps. Speaking of the conferences, Miller said: “The presence of ‘The Suffragist,’ Dr. Shaw, insures enthusiasm and the arousing of the best spirit of women seeking the vote in these four coun- ties. Her presence means compre- hensive instructicn, incisive criticism j and valuable inspiration. That which comes from Dr. Shaw comes from the fountain-head of suffrage. Our Mrs. | women are awaiting these days ea- | gerly, and in addition to Dr. Shaw’s i messages and orztory, various social and other activities have been arrang- | Never have our forces been in bet- ter condition or more enthusiastic, and we consider Dr. Shaw’s appear- | ance in these counties at this time as particularly propitious.” On Tuesday evening, October 17th, at 8 o’clock in the court house, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw will speak on Woman Suffrage. In the afternoon of the same day there will be an in- formal county conference at the home of Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, 19 west Linn street. Mrs. John O. Miller, chairman of the Pennsylvania Wom- an’s Suffrage party, will be present at this conference. Those from out of town who wish to attend both metings will be given the use of the domestic science kitchen in the High school building, where they can make them- selves a cup of tea or coffee. All who are interested in Woman Suffrage ‘are urged to attend the afternoon meeting and of course every one will be anxious to hear Dr. Shaw. There will be no charge of admission to the court house, but a collection will be taken up to help cover expenses. The Tale of a Fox. About ten days or two weeks ago Walter Harpster went down the Jack- sonville road and in the neighborhood of, the Curtin gap saw a young fox run to cover in a stone pile. He dug him out and succeeded in capturing the animal alive. The fox is of the red variety and about two-thirds grown. On Monday he took him to J. O. Heverley, the auto supply dealer on the northeast corner of the Diamond, who fixed up one of his big show win- dows as a fox pen and the animal has been on exhibition there ever since, attracting considerable attention from the children, as well as grown people. The pen in which it is enclosed is built of heavy wire netting and bed- ded with green leaves. On Monday night the fox succeeded in tearing the wire loose ‘at one side and when Mr. Heverley went to the store Tuesday morning the fox was missing from its temporary home. A hunt was at once instituted and young Mr. Reynard was finally discovered almost at the top of the room, snugly ensconced in the inside of a row of rubber tires, which he had evidently taken for a hollow log. But it was some job to capture the animal, and it was not until he had been chased into the cellar of the building and cornered behind some boxes that Mr. Heverley and others succeeding in catching him and re- turning him to his pen in the window. — The Bellefonte Academy foot- ball team will open the local season on Hughes field tomorrow ( Saturday) morning, at 10.30 o’clock, when they will play the Bucknell reserves.
