Everything went all right untii Don struck up “Home, Sweet Home.” It is not exag- gerating in the least to say that most of the boys had to turn their heads, trying to hide the mist in their eyes. But let’s talk about something more cheerful. Last Sunday K. T. (Dukie) Gummo and B. A. (Red) McMurtrie took a trip to Jaurez, Mexico, to see the races. While there they were stricken with the betting fever, returning with wonderful tales of their coup. But, when asked to produce, they sorrowfully told us that they had los: all in an attempt to “break the bank.” On Monday morning, after drill, Ca pt. Curtin had the troop assemble on the pa- rade grounds for a picture. It turned out very good, and as soon as they are finished—and we get a pay day, I will send one to the “Watchman.” : To tell the truth, drilling was becom- ing rather monotonous until Wednesday, when we were given something entirely new. It is dismounted saber drill and in the short space of a few days we have fast become quite proficient swords- men. Later on we will have the same drill mounted, our targets being dum- mies stuffed with sawdust. When one stops to think of the purpose of our drills, they take on a rather gruesome aspect. An El Pasonian will tell you that the only ones who forecast the weather here are newcomers or fools. It strikes me that they are about right. For a few days last week, and Monday and Tues- day of this, the weather was very pleas- ant, reminding one of our “Indian Sum- mer” back home, while now it has grown very coid again. I guess the only rea- son we have no snow is because the clouds are lacking, although we did have a slight hail storm yesterday. Tomorrow, (Saturday) we will have another fiela inspection, carrying equip- ment A. To your readers equipment A means little or nothing, but to us, it means everything we own, from tooth- brush up. About the only thing we don’t take along is our cot. However disagreeable such inspections are to us, they are making real soldiers out of all. I think that the National Guard has earned the right to discard the name “tin soldiers.” : Tomorrow afternoon we receive our last inocculation for typhus fever. Just one more injection of several millions of “bugs” and we are through with that— for awhile. There is not a man in our troop who would not willingly trade his millions of “bugs” for an equal amount of dimes, or pennies, for that matter. In the absence of Sergeant Fromm Harry Whiteman has been detailed to act as mess sergeant. It goes without say- ing that we will be well fed. When any- one asks what we are going to have for mess, the reply invariably is, “Leave it to Harry.” Each morning when we hear the fa- miliar cry “El Paso Morning Times, Pa- per! Read about'it! Paper gen’men?” we dig down in our jeans, providing we have a nickel, and, after buying a paper, eagerly scan every page to finds out if we have been fortunate enough to be put on the “going home list.” As yet our search has been in vain—but we still have hopes. The 18th Regiment of Pennsyl- vania has been ordered home, together with several regiments or parts of regi- ments from several States. All the men in our regiment heartily agree with Capt. Reypert Hughes in his article “The Crisis in the National Guard,” Colliers, issue of December ninth. It is our earnest desire that everyone interested in the troops on the border read that article, for it vividly portrays the conditions here. No, I am not an agent for Colliers. Our horses are much more comforta- ble at night, for we have been issued sta- ble blankets. While they are not wool, they are made of heavy duck, and I im- agine our horses feel very grateful. They, also, are a great help to us, for they make grooming wnuch easier. The period of enlistment of two of our men runs out next week and they ex- pect to leave Tuesday. First Sergeant Com. Phone 64-y ——The ladies of the Presbyterian church at their sale last Thursday clear- ed the very handsome sum of $126.00. In addition they had considerable stuff left over which they gave to the ladies of the Milesburg church to dispose of at their sale. —The ladies of the Pleasant Gap Lutheran church will hold a chicken and noodle dinner and supper on New Year's day at Stitzer’s hall. In addition ice cream, cake, candy and fancy articles will be on sale. The public is invited and urged to attend. ——On Tuesday morning the engine at the heating plant in the conrt house broke down and the result was that the court room became so cold that the court adjourned to the grand jury room, while the court house officials wen: around in overcoats. —— Higgins, left end, has been elected captain of the State Colle ze football team for 1917. In arranging the schedule for next year the most important change wil} be the dropping of the University of Penn- sylvania at Philadelphia and the taking on of Dartmouth, the agreement for the latter having already been signed. ——=Centre county friends of Daniel C. Keller, of Phoenixville, Pa., will regret to learn that he was stricken with paralysis last week and that his entire side has been rendered helpless. Mr. Keller was born and raised in Pennsvalley and serv- ed one term as treasurer of Centre coun- ty. Since moving to Phoenixville he has been conducting a large dairy farm. ——Newton Haupt has decided to close his home on Pine street, store his fur- niture and tomorrow will leave with his wife and four young children for Harris- burg where they will spend the winter with their daughter, Mrs. Edward Latham and family. Mr. Haupt has been troubled with rheumatism of late and he hopes that the few months change wili do him good. ——The gentleman who is at the head of the United States weather bureau at Washington is some correct prognostica- tor. In his report sent out last Saturday on the weather for this week he predicted snow for Tuesday with continued cold, and snow it did. In fact it was the first real wintery-like snow of the season. He also said it would be warmer today and tomorrow and now it is up to him to make good. ——Postmaster Robert M. Foster, of State College, received information last week that $25,000 is the amount to be appropriated at this session of Congress with which to start the new federal post- office building at State College. Owing to the fact that the site has been located and paid for, all buildings removed and the sub-soil investigated he believes that the new building will be started on or about March 1st, 1917. —Rhoads & Knisely shipped their concrete machinery to Hyde City on Sat- urday and on Monday Gehret & Lam- bert shipped their contractor's outfit of tools, etc., to the same place, the men going over on Tuesday morning to begin work on the rebuilding of the old and dilapidated Hyde City steel mills. The contract undertaken by both firms is quite large and will take them well along into next year to complete, if the weath- er is such that they can work during the’ winter. —Christmas shopping is taking up a lot of time just now, but the Scenic con- tinues a good drawing card for all those who delight in a good program of mo- tion pictures. Anditis a good relaxa- tion from the trouble and worries of selecting suitable Christmas remem- brances that can be had within the means of one’s purse this year. The Scenic not only makes you forget but long for the next evening's program and two more hours of interesting enter- tainment. ——An item is now going the rounds of the country press that the largest dining hall in the United States is the one recently completed at the new west- ern penitentiary in Centre county. It’s normal seating capacity is three thous- and persons but in a pinch it car seat thirty-five hundred. It is built of re- inforced concrete and thoroughly equip- ped in every way. It might also be stated that the men who eat in the din- ing room are always punctual at their meals and the same faces are to be seen there every day. ones. We will, indeed, miss our first sergeant. I have not been long in the Guard, but even with my short experience I will say that the entire Guard does not hold a more efficient or respected first sergeant. A strict disciplinarian, an excellent drill master—in a word, a soldier. It is partly due to his untiring effort that Troop L has received a high rating.

The whistle, however, will sound the fire alarm whenever there is a fire. woe | Another Bellefonte Fire. About 5.20 o’clock on Tuesday morn- ing fire was discovered in the stable of the American Lime & Stone company, at the Sunnyside plant, and before the flames could be checked the stable was entirely destroyed, the blacksmith shop was partially burned and one or two small buildings were reduced to ashes. The stock in the stable was all gotten | safely out but the hay and feed were all consumed. The origin of the fire is un- known, but might have been from cross- ed wires. The property was insured. The fire, by the way, made a brilliant light and locked quite dangerous for a time, but after the firemen got there they soon had it under control. Both fire bells, locomotive whistles, etc., were utilized to give the alarm and at that lots of people in Bellefonte did not know there was a fire until hours after it was over. | —_———— Another Electrocution. Joseph W. O’Brien, of Montgomery county, was electrocuted at the peniten- tiary at Rockview on Monday morning. Attended by Father McArdle he went to the death chair at 7.05. Five contacts were given and at 7.10 O’Brien was pro- nounced dead by Dr. Robert J. Campbell. The body was claimed by the man’s sis- ter, Mrs. O’Conners and was shipped to Norristown for burial. O’Brien, who was forty-three years old, was convicted of the murder of Israel Goldman, a twelve year old Hebrew boy of Philadel- phia, at the Whitemarsh golf grounds over two years ago. He went to his death without making any statement. He was the eighteenth man to go to the chair since electrocution was made the death penalty in Pennsylvania. Two men who were sentenced to electrocu- tion had their sentence commuted to imprisonment for life and one man died before the date for his electrocution. coe Board of Trade Nominated Officers. - A meeting of the Bellefonte Board of Trade was held in the hall of the public building on Monday evening for the pur- pose of nominating officers for the ensu- ing year. The only new nomination was that of Col. W. Fred Reynolds for presi- dent in place of J. Linn Harris. The old officers who were renominated are vice president, Robert F. Hunter; secretary, W. T. Kelly, and treasurer, Charles M. McCurdy. The Board also authorized the presi- dent, J. Linn Harris, to make a trip to Franklln, Pa., and consult attorneys re- garding what prospect the Board of Trade might have in collecting the sum of $1,200 which the organization had to pay to secure a clear title to the old glass works meadow site. One of the principal men who started the organiza- tion of the Bellefonte Six Automobile company in the summer of 1913 was E. Bleakley, of Franklin. One of the de- mands made was that Bellefonte furnish a site for the plant. The Board of Trade took the matter in hand and through vol- untary contributions money was raised to purchase the glass works site. Be- fore deeding it to the automobile compa- ny the Board of Trade exacted a promise from Mr. Bleakley, who had been elected president of the company, that in the event of the company failing to erect buildings on the site he was at once to re-deed the land back to the Board of Trade. When the Bellefonte Six bubble burst Mr. Bleakley failed to do this and the company having contracted obligations suit was brought and a judgment aggre- gating $1,200 was obtained which, in the natural course of legal events, was enter- ed against the only tangible thing, the glass works meadow. Then in order to obtain title to the property the Board of Trade was compelled to pay the judg- ment and costs. And it is to ascertain if this amount is collectable from ‘Mr. Bleakley that Mr. Harris will make the of $1,000 and Six Months in Jail. | by Judge Quigley on Monday morning | to pay the costs of presecution, a fine of county jail for a period of six months, {and to stand committed until the sen- | tence is complied with. He was at by district attorney James C. Furst Mr. | Bullock’s attorney, W. D. Zerby Esq., ad- dressed the court in his behalf. He { stated that Mr. Bullock had plead guilty to the six indictments and thus saved | the county the costs of one or more | trials, which in itself should be a plea for leniency. He further stated that while Mr. Bullock had done what was | not right he was not the only one who | thus broke the law at State College. He further stated that Mr. Bullock’s trouble had been the means of him starting to lead a better life and that he believed he was sincere in his declaration to live an upright life in the future. Before sentencing Mr. Bullock Judge Quigley told him that it was a very un- pleasant and painful duty for him to perform. That he was one of the first clients he had had as a law student and he had known him very well ever since. good qualities but that there had always been some inner promptings that led him to do things that were not right. Referring to the case in issue he told him that the one place in the whole State of Pennsylvania -that is protected by the laws of the Commonwealth lege, as no liquor can be legally sold there or within a radius of four miles of the town. That this was not only done to protect the two thousand and more young men who go there as students, but to preserve the good organization that has been built up there in the cause of education. stated that in the eyes of the ‘court his crime was greater than it would have been if committed by the ordinary citi- zen, because he was clothed with the of- ficial power of a justice of the peace and ought therefore to have preserved the law from being outraged instead of be- coming a law-breaker himself. He then stated that the court could impose sentence on all of the six indict- ments, but he would impose sentence on only one, and suspend sentence upon the other five. And in so doing he did not intend to hold the suspended sentences as a club over his head because he had faith enough in the good part of him to believe that having served his sentence he would renounce all bad ways and live the kind of a life that society should ex- pect from a man of his learning and ability. his sentence he would revert to some of the things he had done in the past the court would exercise its right to call him up and sentence him on the other five indictments. The court then pronounced the sentence given above. The six indictments to which Mr- Bullock plead guilty merely charged him College, going back over a period of two years. The only evidence that was heard any- where in the case was before the grand jury and that was not revealed to the public, but it must at least have been of a convincing nature in order that that body returned true bills, to which Mr. Bul- lock later plead guilty. Mr Bullock has been justice of the peace at State Col- lege about eight montlis, having been appointed last spring by Governor Brum- baugh as successor to Henry Woomer, resigned. Through his action he would have voluntarily forfeited his commis- sion as justice of the peace but to avoid this he two weeks or more ago sent his resignation to Governor Brumbaugh with a request that it be promptly ac- cepted. Court Cullings. Only two cases were on trial in court this week. The first was that of Austin and Mary Walker vs. Edward and Eva M. Heaton, an action in trespass to set- tle the title to a roadway. At the con- clusion of the plaintiff’s testimony the court granted a compulsory non-suit, subject to a question of law reserved. The case of Calvin S. Garbrick vs. A. S. McNitt was settled out of court. The other case tried was that of Pearl C. Gray vs. TheP. R.R. Co., an action in trespass to recover damages for land taken for a right-of-way. The case went to the jury yesterday morning and a verdict of $974.81 was returned in favor of the plaintiff. ——To join next week in the donation for Mrs. Risk and her seven small chil dren, will be the real charity for persons in this community at Christmas time. We would recall to your mind the sud- den death in May of this year, of Mr. Risk at Pleasant Gap and that of her son Joseph, who was killed two weeks ago, at Milton, leaving her without means of support and practically destitute, this in addition to illness makes the case one which should appeal to everyone at this season.
