Naturally every hunter that is in the woods anticipates getting a deer, but the most of them are doomed beforehand to disappointment, because if they did it would take every buck in Pennsylvania to go around.

In one year, it is said, he killed three panthers, four bear, one of which weighed between 500 and 600 pounds, and fifty deer, not counting a large amount of small game. Of course that was forty or fifty years ago and game was more plentiful then than it is now. C. Y. Wagner Had Narrow Escape On Saturday evening C. Y. Wagner drove out Water street in his new Ford car to go to his home on Willowbank street. As it happened the passenger train on the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail- road was late, a fact he did not know and he was running along at a fair rate of speed. When he got in sight of the railroad, however, he saw the watchman at the crossing waving to him to stop but his brakes failed to hold. All the time he was getting nearer to the railroad and when he got near enough he saw the train rapidly ap- proaching the crossing. It was too close for him to attempt to cross so he swung sharply to the left but the car was al- ready too far advanced and he was side- swiped by the train which struck the car on the right front, stoving in the radia- tor, breaking the lamps and fender and bending the steering aparatus. In fact the car was turned almost half around by the impetus of the train. Fortunately the car did not upset but as it swung around the right hand side door flew open and Mr. Wagner’s daugh- ter Anna, who was in the car with him and was holding her baby brother George on her lap, was thrown out on her back in the roadway, but when picked up she was still holding the boy in her arms and he escaped without even a bruise. Anna sustained a few bruises and a slight shock, but no serious injury. Mr. Wagner was not injured in the least but it was about as narrow an escape as he ever had. The car was damaged to the extent of from forty to fifty dollars. soe Change of Time Table on the Bellefonte Central Railroad. On and after Monday, December 4th, 1916, trains will leave Bellefonte at 6.30 and 9.40 a. m. and 1.45 p. m. Leave State College at 8.00 and 11.40 a.m. and 5.00 p. m. If the difficulty of getting coal contin- ues there will probably be a curtailment of passenger train service between Belle- fonte and State College. NOTICE. On and after Saturday, December 9th, 1916, the Bellefonte Central Railroad company will discontinue passenger train service between State College and Pine Grove Mills, Pa.

RR —Suit was entered in the Clearfield county court on Monday against the Mo- shannon Coal company, of which Con- gressman Charles H. Rowland is the principal owner to restrain it from paying a bonus of 331-3 per cent. of their wages to its employees. The suit was brought by the operators association which alleges that the Moshannon com- pany has broken its compact in paying the tonus without the knowledge and full consent of the association, Argu- ment on the case will be heard before Judge Bell at Clearfield tomorrow. —— coe — Owing to the Bellefonte Academy opening two weeks later than usual last fall on account of the infantile paralysis scare the only Thanksgiving holiday al- lowed was one day, yesterday, conse- quently none of the students went home. State College students will have from Tuesday until next Monday and a large number of them went out to Pittsburgh for the State-Pitt game. The migration of the students always makes a lot of work checking baggage consequently Joseph Undercoffer and John Scholl spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the College checking baggage right through to the students’ destination. ——Prothonotary David R. Foreman made a record in certifying the official returns of the November election, includ- ing the soldier vote on the border, to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The law distinctly specifies . that the soldier vote must be opened and counted the third Friday after the general election. In accordance therewith the vote was opened and counted last Friday after- noon, but the tabulators did not return their certified copies to the prothono- tary’s office until about ten o'clock Sat- | urday morning. Mr. Foreman then went to work and copied all the returns com. plete in figures then wrote them out in full, certified them, made out two hund- red and twenty-six certificates, did them up under the seal of his office and sent them by express to Harrisburg on the 4.50 train Saturday evening. When one con- siders the amount of writing that had to be done and how careful and particular it was necessary to be, the work was only an interesting document but one | o'clock some strange dogs got after Wade | Herman's sheep. Three of them took to | the road with the dogs in full pursuit. | They chased them from the Herman | refuge therein by jumping through the | glass of one of the windows. The dogs | went elsewhere. The buck stayed in the shop ten or fifteen minutes then jumped ; out through the other window, thus com- | pletely demolishing the handsome glass ‘ front. | While the buck was in the shop Wil- | {liam Coble passed and saw the animal. | He walked up street and meeting Mr. | Meyers told him he had better hurry | { down to his shop as he had an early cus- l tomer. The barber naturally asked who it was and Mr. Coble said he thought it ! his shop but the buck was gone and all ‘he saw was the ruin left in his wake, ' Now he can’t get damages from the dogs | because he don’t know where they be- i long, and he can hardly go after the ' sheep because it was chased through the | window by the dogs, but he does think that the sheep might at least have gone out the way it went in and thus left him one whole window. Colored Chauffer Sent to Jail. Harry (Smoke) Miller, the colored chauffer who drove J. C. Condo’s auto- mobile onto the pavement at the corner lof the Brockerhoff house on Monday evening of last week, averting by virtu- ally a hair’s breadth the mangling if not killing of several people, entered a plea | of guilty before Judge Quigley on Friday | afternoon and was sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars, costs of prosecution and undergo imprisonment in the county jail for a period of three months. The judge also told Miller that in the event of Condo’s case going to tri- al in court he would expect him to come into court willingly and testify to the truth. Miller was taken to jail at once to begin his sentence. Probably four-fifths of the automobile accidents in the country are the result of men operating cars when they are un- der the influence of liquor. While few accidents have happened in this county because of this fact there is no question but that there are too many instances right here in Bellefonte of intoxicated men driving cars, and Miller's sentence get if they ever get in a like predica- ment. TYDEMAN—FRYBERGER.—Arthur Fred- erick Tydeman, of Butler, Pa., and Miss Mary Fryberger, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. C. T. Fryberger, were married in the Trinity Methodist church of Philips- burg at 1.30 o'clock on Monday afternoon in the presence of a large number of in- vited guests.

Immediately fol- lowing the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Tydeman left on a wedding trip to east- ern cities at the conclusion of which they will take up their residence at the New Willard hotel, Butler, where Mr. Tydeman is located as an inspector for ‘the Standard Oil company. >es-— GRAZIER—CoX.—Albert Clark Grazier, of Huntingdon Furnace, and Miss Mary Esther Cox, of Tyrone, were united in marriage on Wednesday of last week at the parsonage of the Mulberry street Methodist Episcopal church, Williams- port, by the pastor, Rev.

The firm of Pittsburgh prospectors | who are drilling for oil on the Christ Sharer lands about three miles north of Hannah station, in Taylor township, have now reached a depth of nine hundred feet. They have gone through an im- mense bed of solid red rock and ara now in what they term the “first sand.’’ They expect to go down to a depth of from 1 3,000 to 3,500 feet, which will be necessa- ry to determine if oil exists in that local- ity. The dpproximate cost of putting a well down that deep is fifteen thousand dollars. So far the only grounds under lease to the Pittsburgh firm are the lands of Christ Sharer and the John Kelly farm. Other land owners who have been asked for options have declined giving a lease, as the term of ten years asked for in which to do prospecting was considered too long.
