There is an atmosphere around
the peculiar comedian, W. B. Patton,
that signifies success. There is some-
thing about him that asserts itself in
every character he creates. It is the
force and artistic refinement of his
methods that reaches out over the
footlights and compels admiration,
and in the character of Dr. Hale, in
his new play, “Lazy Bill” Mr. Patton
has unlimited opportunities to dis-
play the wonderful magnetism of his
personality. This delightful play
will be seen here for one night only
at Garman’s, Tuesday evening, Febru-
ary 27th.

Sentence Suspended Upon Payment
of Costs.
‘ burg, appeared before Judge Quigley
larceny and after attorney M. Ward
' Fleming made an eloquent plea in his
behalf Judge Quigley suspended sen-
' tence upon the payment of the costs.
Readers of the “Watchman” will re-
. call that a few weeks ago Mr. Stein
' resigned his office as burgess of Phil-
ipsburg upon request. A few days
later he was arrested on the charge
: of larceny ‘ for taking a handful of
cigars from the drug store of W. B.
Brown. When he appeared in court
Monday afternoon Mr. Stein waived
| the finding of the grand jury and
{entered a plea of nolle con-
| tendere. Speaking in his behalf
, attorney M. Ward Fleming said that |
he had always been a good and re-
. spected citizen of Philipsburg and he
felt that on account of his age and
| the humiliation he had already suffer-
{ ed that he had been sufficiently pun-
ished. Judge Quigley thereupon
| suspended sentence upon the payment
{of the costs and Mr. Stein promptly
settled.
In speaking of the case afterwards
to a friend Mr. Stein said that while
{he was technically guilty he didn’t
|
|
i
t erime. That he had gone to the same
store on occasions previous to that
when the clerk was busy and had
helped himself to cigars but always
paid for them. That on this occasion
i he went in and called to the clerk
| who apparently was busy behind the
prescription counter and as on former
| occasions helped himself, and it was!
that he was arrested.

Miss Fye had gone to the barn to
i do some chores, as was her custom.
{ When she returned to the house and
' stepped into the kitchen an unknown
man jumped from behind the kitchen
blunt instrument that did not cut the
flesh but knocked her unconscious.
He then shot her through the fleshy
part of the leg above the knee with a
38 calibre revolver.
Miss Fye lay unconscious on the
. floor for almost two hours, being
found in that condition when the men
returned to the house. Of course by
that time the man had disappeared
and no trace of him could be found.
| Robbery was evidently the man’s de-
sign, but in this he failed, as there
was no money of any consequence
about the house.
Miss Fye was sent to the Cottage
State hospital, Philipsburg, where the
i bullet hole in her leg was properly
attended to and several days later she
was taken home.

i er must be inspected before July 1st,
11917.
Touring Car Completely Burned Up.
Monday evening about 7 o’clock G.
H. Gates and his brother Stewart
were leaving the Gates farm, a mile
west of Waddle, in the former’s Page
Six, when the machine back-fired, an
explosion followed and in an instant
the whole outfit was enveloped in
flames.
The conflagration occurred on a
steep hill leading out past the barn
on the farm and so near to the build-
ings was the burning machine that
the occupants, and neighbors attract-
ed by the flames, had to devote their
energies toward keeping the buildings
from burning. The machine was
totally consumed.
——Frank Steele tendered his
resignation as station agent at the
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania in
this place to accept a position as

company, of Toledo, Ohio. He was
officially checked out on Tuesday
morning and yesterday went to Wil-
liamsport where he joined a corps of
salesmen of the above company for a
three month’s training service. At
the expiration of that time he will be
assigned a territory of which Belle-
fonte will be the centre. Charles E.

Why worry about the weather
when you can go to the Scenic every
i evening, be comfortable and enjoy a
big program of high-class motion pic-
| tures? Nothing like them to be seen
| anywhere else in Bellefonte. Remem-
| ber Mrs. Vernon Castle appears every
' Friday evening in that patriotic play,
| “Patria”. But every evening has it’s
own program of good pictures, so that
you cannot help but see something

Word was received in Belle-
fonte this week of the death of Mrs.
Ridgely Morris, one of Delaware's
oldest and best known women. Mrs.
Morris, who was a lineal descendant

‘and her brother, William P. Humes.
When the Abramsen Engineer-
ing company, of Pittsburgh, took over
| the Bellefonte Engineering company’s
i plant several weeks ago the foundry
was closed down and since then the
machine shop is the only part of the
plant being operated. At the pres-
ent
employed there, but the new company
anticipates increasing this force grad-
ually until they get a full quota of
skilled workmen. It is expected that
work at the foundry, also, will be re-
sumed in the near future.
Even though all Centre coun-
ty’s famous trout streams are open
to the sportsmen, some of the men of
Bellefonte are opposing the Woman's
club in an effort to close the stream
through Bellefonte for a few hundred
feet. The object of the women is to
protect the fish in a part of this
stream for the pleasure given the
{ hundreds of visitors and residents
whose thoughts do not center around
a fishing rod. The pride of the town
in the stream should be sufficient in-
centive for any effort to conserve its
greatest attraction, the fish.
ove
ern part of the State, where potatoes
are now selling for $2.50 a bushel,
that thousands of bushels are being
held in the bins by farmers who are
holding for $3.00 a bushel. While
there is no positive information as to
how many potatoes are being held by
farmers in Centre county for a high-
er price it is known that some far-
mers have from two to three hundred
bushels. In fact one farmer not a
great distance from Bellefonte recent-
iy asserted that he had four hundred
! bushels which he would hold until he
got $2.50 a bushel for them.

Several weeks ago the “Watch-
man’ mentioned the fact that Nor-
man R. Wright had taken an option
on the Palace garage with a view of
purchasing the same. At the time
the present occupant, F. S. Knecht,
vehemently denied the story. It now
develops that the story was correct
and that Mr. Wright has purchased
the building, and will take possession
March first. The first floor will be
used as a garage and one or two men
have looked over the second floor to
see if it can be arranged for manu-
facturing purposes. One of the lat-
ter was Mr. Shelton, proprietor of the
knitting mills at Millheim and Pleas-
ant Gap, who'is seeking a location for
a mill in Bellefonte. Just what he
will decide on doing has not been di-
vulged.
Mr. Thaddeus R. Hamilton was
eighty-one years old last Saturday
and he celebrated the event very
quietly at his home on east Howard
street. While Mr. Hamilton is not
the oldest man in Bellefonte he is
unusually active for his age, conduct-
ing his planing mill business here and
at State College just as if he were in
the prime of life. All his life has
been spent in Bellefonte with the ex-
ception of fifteen years spent in the
west, which at the time he was there
was regarded as the frontier of the
United States. Both his trips were
made overland before the steam rail-
road had penetrated that section of
the United States, and he still loves
to recall his experiences of those
years. Mr. Hamilton, by the way, oc-
cupies the home in which both his
father and grandfather lived and
died.

The case in question was an action

Twenty years or more ago when Mrs.
