TR Many Wild Turkeys Killed the First Day of Hunting Season. Monday morning was ideal weath- er for the opening day of the hunting season and the conditions ould not have been better. Enough rain fell on Sunday night to dampen the leaves so that the hunter made little noise in tramping through the woods. The re- sult was a big slaughter of wild tur- keys which, in fact, constituted the big part of the game killed. Just how many turkeys were killed in Centre county cannot be told, owing to the fact that a large number of hunters from a distance were in the county especially for turkey, and having bag- ged their bird departed for home. Most of the turkeys were killed on the Nittany mountain and in the neigh- borhood of Curtin and Unionville. Hunters at Pleasant Gap aver that not less than fifteen turkeys were killed on Nittany mountain. Among the residents of the Gap and vicinity who got one turkey each were George Hile, Harry Bilger, Daniel Boyer, William Hoy, William and George Kerstetter, George Homan, Norman Meyer, Oscar and Boyd Lonebarger, while the others were shot by hunters whose names could not be learned. Nine turkeys were killed in the neighborhood of Curtin, two of which | were by Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick and Robert Fry, of Bellefonte, while Wil- liam, Harrison and Hunter Dukeman, Edward Kline, Herbert Bathurst and William Bryan, of Curtin, each got a bird. Unionville residents report sixteen killed in that vicinity but they were all slaughtered by strangers except three, which were bagged by Samuel Holt, Joseph and George Stere. Sev- eral turkeys were gotten in the vicini- ty of Howard but the names of the lucky hunters could not be learned. The only pheasanz brought to Bellefonte on the opening day was by | fact they had to separate to keep ! from jumping on him, some passing i on one side and some on the other. | Shots from pursuing hunters awak- | ened Mr. Kephart just as the turkeys | were passing but he was too much be- | wildered to even try to catch one. Of course he didn’t care very much, he- cause he already had his turkey. PEPPERED WITH FINE SHOT. The only hunting accident of the week so far as now known occurred on Tussey mountain south of Grays- ville about four o'clock on Monday afternoon when George Wilson, aged 19, received the full charge of a load of No. 4 shot in the face when the gun of his companion, Roy Henry, was ac- cidentally discharged. Thirty-five of the little leaden pellets were embed- ded in the flesh of the young man’s face. In a swooning condition he was taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wilson, living near Graysville, and a physician summoned who extracted the shot. As no vital spot was punctured it is believed he will recover. PON SEEPS DEATHS. YOUNG.—Philip W. Young, 2 na- tive of Centre county, died on Wed- nesday of last week on the Gearhart homestead at Gearhartville, Clearfield county, as the result of various com- plications. He had not been well for some time but his death was sudden and unexpected. Deceased was a son ¢f Mr. and Mrs. William Young and was born at Rort Matilda on August 31st, 1864, making his age 52 years, 1 month and 11 days. Practically his entire life was spent at Port Matilda where he was well and most favorably known. He served as postmaster at Port Matilda from 1893 to 1897 and was mercantile appraiser of Centre county in 191i. In 1914 he moved to Huntingdon county hut about a year ago le C——— Lock Haven on Wednesday noon, by | Rev. Homer C. Boblitt. Immediately following the ceremony the young couple left on a wedding trip to Buffalo and other points in New York after which they will take up their residence in Howard. McCormick Confident of Wilson Landslide. New York, Oct. 19.—“The Den-o- cratic party is going to win and win big,” said Vance C. McCormick, chair- man of the Democratic national c¢ m- mittee, upon his return here this morning after having interviewed the western Democratic managers and conferred with national committee- ‘men and state chairmen in the middle west. “The reports to me were accompa- nied by facts and figures of unques- tionable reliability and clothed in cir- cumstances that left no doubt as to their authenticity and accuracy. “1 talked with Judge Connolly, the national committeeman, and State Chairman Stevenon about the situa- tion in Michigan. The Progressive or- ganization en masse hus come over to the President. “Detroit normally is Republican by 20,000 but today indications are that Wilson will carry it by that figure. In the agricultural districts the current is running that same way. “Wisconsin is not doubtful. It is Democratic and Democratic by a big plurality. National Committeeman Martin, who is informed as to condi- tions in every voting precinct in the State hasn’t a doubt as to the result— a Wilson landslide. Nebraska is in fine shape notwithstanding the ac- tivity of Mr. Hughes there. He was cordially greeted but he didn’t make many votes. “Indiana and Misscuri are safely Democratic although the Republicans are making a fight born of despera- tion. Our leaders have no fear as to the result. “In Ohio it is a question only of the size of the President’s plurality. The estimates run upward from 100,090. The Republican campaign has col- lapsed and the old machine is torn by dissension. “In North Dakota and Kansas our chairmen are confident the President a most nourishing { are Uneeda Biscuit ‘Cr With the Churches of the County.

Following the publica- tion of the story in book form it wus pub- lished serially in a Washington, D. C., and Syracuse, N. Y., paper. About & year ago there was such a demand for the story that Mr. Pattee had another edition print- ed and the book is now on sale at The In- The recent conviction in the Centre county courts of William H. Snavely, the pow-wow doctor of Greenbriar, Penn township, shows that there are still people in Centre county who cling to these be- nighted opinicns. And kaowing this read- i ers of Mr. Pattee’s book can regard it as a fairly accurate description of conditions as they existed years ago. In addition to that it is worth double its price for the faithful portrayal of the rugged and pie- turesque scenery that can be found no- where else in the State outside of the Sev- en Mountain regions.

Hunting was very poor over in the vicinity of Potters Mills, the only man who got anything was John H. Bitrer, who got his limit of pheasants before nine o’clock in the morning. Walter McCuilough, a clerk in the Bellefonte offices of the State High- way Department, was cne of the half dozen hunters who motored into the foothills of the Alleghenies where they had knowledge of a flock of tur- keys. They got on the ground ahout 4.30 o’clock in the morning and camp- ed under trees until it would get light enough to shoot. But their eagerness got the better of them and just as daylight was breaking in the far east they decided they had better try and get a little closer. They had not tak- en a half a dozen steps, however, un- til the turkeys they were after flew up, just an even dozen of them, and it was yet too dark fer an accurate shot, so that they didn’t get a bird. Later in the day they saw one of the turkeys but it was too far away to shoot at. The men scattered through the woods in quest of any kind of game and McCullough stopped to weer into the bushes when there was the crack of a gun on the side of the mountain above him and a half dozen or more shot struck him on the back while others pattered around him like drops of rain. Fortunately they were spent shot and dropped to the ground as soon as they struck his clothing. John T. Kephart, formerly superin- tendent of state highways for this district but now civil engineer for Fayette county, came in from Union- town with a party of friends and went out for turkeys in the neighborhood of Dix Run. They were on the ground early and Mr. Kephart was successful in shooting a turkey short- ly after six o’clock. Having secured his limit of turkey Mr. Kephart be- came a little indifferent as to any more strenuous hunting and sat down on the sunny side of a big log to en- joy a smoke and rest. Whether it was the soothing influence of the smoke or the enervating effects of the cun is not known, but at any rate Kephart soon fell asleep and while in that condition a flock of eleven tur- keys ran along and jumped right over the log he was leaning against.

Burial was made in Rose Hill cemetery, Altoona, on Wednesday afternoon. | | SAYLOR.—William Saylor, an old veteran of the Civil war, died quite suddenly at eleven o’clock yesterday morning of a hemorrhage of the brain, the result of a stroke of apo- plexy. A more extended notice will be given next week. Recruiting Officer to be Here Today. Lieut. R. A. Zentmyer, of Tyrone, re- cruiting officer for this district, will be at the Brockerhoff house this (Friday) forenoon. There is still an opportunity for young men to enlist in the National Guard and to get a chance to see the country and to secure some training in military affairs. This may be the last opportunity for young men to get the chance. While the men at the front have not seen war they have done good service to their country and their presence there is probably all that has prevented war long before this time. HEBERLING — STEWART. — Robert P. Heberling, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thom- as Heberling, of Tyrone, and Miss Bard L. Stewart, of Clearfield, were married on Monday afternoon at the Methodist parsonage in Harrisburg by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Smucker. The Heberlings were formerly residents of Ferguson township, this county, where a number of relatives of the bridegroom still live. Following a brief wedding trip the young couple will take up their residence in Clearfield where Mr. Heberling is now in business. WAGNER—HAUPT.—On October 17th, at the Reformed parsonage, Boalsburg, by Rev. S. C. Stover, Mr. Ernest A. Wag- ner, of Oak Hall, and Miss Marie K. Haupt, of Bellefonte, were united in mar- riage.
