TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.—Until turther notice his paper will be furnished to subscribers at the following rates: Paid strictly in advance - - $1.50 Paid before expiration of year - 1.75 Paid after expiration of year - 2.00 Firebug Given Long Sentence by Judge Quigley. Having plead guilty to two indict- ments charging him with setting fire to the McGirk building in Philipsburg on March 13th, 1916, and the Odd Fel- lows building on October 29th, Ed- ward Bannon, a resident of South Philipsburg, was brought into open court on Tuesday morning and sen- tenced by Judge Quigley to $1,000 fine, costs of prosecuticn and nct less than fifteen nor more than twenty years in the western penitentiary on the first indictment, and $500 fine, costs and not less than five years nor more than ten years in the penitenti- ary on the second indictment, which makes a maximum of $1,500 fine, and not less than twenty years nor more than thirty years in the penitentiary, and Judge Quigley told the man that when he was released he would prob- ably realize that setting fire to build- ings was a crime of no mean propor- tions. Ever since the burning of the Me- Girk building in March deputy fire marshall Edward J. Ryan, of Sun- bury, has been at work on the case. Clue after clue was run down hut it was not until after the fire which de- stroyed the substantial Odd Fellows building in October that the clue be- gan to grow warm. Finally Mr. Ry- an and the Philipsburg police conclud- ed that they had sufficient evidence to arrest Bannon and he was taken into custody and brought to the Centre county jail on November 10th. Finally last Friday he broke down and confessed to district attorney James C. Furst, sheriff George H. Yarnell, deputy sheriff Harrison Kline, E. J. Ryan and F. J. Green, of Philipsburg, that he had set fire to the two buildings for the purpose of rob- bery. Bannon’s confession clarified the case considerably, and when he entered a plea of guilty to both in- dictments crime of arson there was nothing left for the court but to sentence him. Bannon goes by the name of “Peg- gy,” having lost one leg in a railroad accident when he was six years old. He is now twenty-six years of age and his looks and personal demeanor are not such as to create any sentiment of sympathy in nis behalf. brought into court on Tuesday morn- ing and the case was called up for disposal W. Groh Runkle addressed the court and stated that he had beer retained by the young man’s mother to look after his interests. But inas- much as he had entered a plea of guil- ty there was little for him to do. That he had gone to the jail to see Bannon but could not get him to talk and it was his impression that the man was not sound mentally, and he would ask the court to take that into considerdtion when passing sentence. Judge Quigley then told Bannon to stand up. In reply to a question as to whether his parents were living he stated that they were and that he was unmarried. When asked what he had worked at thetpast eight or ten years Bannon said “nothing.” The court asked him how many fires he had started the past year and Bannon said “about four.” In sentencing him the court stated that ordinarily he would take into consideration his crippled condition and home environment in disposing of the case, but his actions were such as to prove conclusively that he was a dangerous man for any community, and he believed it would be better for him to be put some place where he would be under restraint. He also stated that it was necessary to mete out proper punishment to criminals as a deterrent to others and because of that he would give him al- most the maximum sentence, and sen- tence as above given was then pro- nounced. Will There Be a Contest? Friends of William E. Tobias, in Clearfield county, are talking of con- testing Rowland’s election to Congress on the ground that many votes were thrown out in that county that should have been counted for him. It is claimed that quite a number of voters after voting in the Prohibition square also marked their ballots for Mr. | Tobias, and that all such votes were thrown out. In five districts, it is claimed, twenty-three such ballots were not counted. The move has not gone far enough to demand a recount, though it is possible that some such action may be taken. ——Resident. of Bellefonte and Centre county are again requested to bear in mind the Thanksgiving dona- tion to the Bellefonte hospital. Any- thing you can give will be appreciat- £d. charging him with the’ When | 1 | wit THOMPSON.—John I. of Lemont, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. H.

On that occasion he was driving along the road in a buggy when he was run into by an automo- bile upsetting him. His nervous sys- tem suffered such a chock that he never entirely recovered therefrom.
