Miss May Turner, head waiter
at the Bush house, narrowly escaped
"death at noon on Monday. She was
on her way to the train for a visit in’
Tyrone and did not notice the train
goming in on the east siding. A stran-
ger standing by saw her danger and
pulled her from the track. How nar-
row her escape was can be judged
from the fact that when the man
jerked her from the track the loco-
motive struck her foot as it was in
the air, but fortunately she escaped
without injury.

This will be especially true of chil-
dren's shoes of which he will offer a
large variety at very low prices. Shoe
bargains are rare these days and if
you are wise you will buy shoes when
they are cheap, whether you need
them or not, for they will be much
higher a year from now than they
are at this time.
the Philipsburg Brewing
and the applications of
J. W. Runkle, for a license at the
Centre Hall hotel, leaving four -appli-
' cations yet to be acted upon.
Hindle’s license was revoked on the
charge of selling liquor to minors. He
was arrested over a month ago on
retary of the Philipsburg Chamber of
Commerce, and a rule was at once
taken out requiring him to show cause
why his license should not be revoked.
Friday afternoon’s hearing was the
result of this rule, and a large num-
ber of witnesses were heard on both
sides.
One of most important witnesses
against Hindle was Elizabeth Warr,
a fifteen year old girl who is now in
charge of the probation officer of Cen-
tre county, who testified that on sev-
eral occasions she had been served
beer and drank the same at the Cen-
tral hotel, and one of the times the
beer had been served by Hindle, him-
self. Mrs. Warr, the girl's mother,
testified that she had been with her
daughter when she was served the
beer and saw her drink it.
Pearl Brown, an eleven year old
girl, and Annie Hansell, aged four-
teen, testified to having been in the
drinking room on several occasions
but that they drank no beer. Other
witnesses testified that the Central
was a customary gathering place for
husband and wife with their children.
In his own behalf Mr. Hindle swore
that the Warr girl had never been
served beer at his hotel and he had
been very particular not to sell to
minors. He also had quite a number
of witnesses who gave testimony in
his behalf. At the conclusion of the
evidence the court asked Hindle’s at-
torneys, M. Ward Fleming and W.
Harrison Walker Esgs., if they had
anything to say and Mr. Walker asked
that the testimony be written out so
that they would have an opportunity
to review it carefully and prepare
their argument.
Judge Quigley told him that in this
case he did not consider such a pro-
ceeding necessary. That the court
had taken the trouble to personally
inquire into this case and was satis-
fied that there had been a wilful viola-
tion of the law. The Judge stated
that so far he had made no extra rul-
ings for landlords in Centre county to
follow although he expected to make
a very few in the near future. That
the Brooks high license law was ample
to cover everything, and, while the
court might be disposed to overlook
technical infractions he under no cir-
cumstances will tolerate the wilful and
persistent violation of the law by
any landlord in Centre county. That
in any and all such cases brought be-
fore him the license will be prompt-
ly revoked, and for that reason this
license (Hindle’s) was revoked to take
effect at once.
The court then announced that be-
cause of the revocation of the Hindle
license he would reopen the applica-
tions of Mr. Dugan and Mr. Juschik
and grant both of them.

—The body of a deer was found
in the reservoir of the Citizens Water
company of Philipsburg, on Sunday.
The reservoir is located in Rush town-
ship, about two miles from the town
and it was only by chance that the
dead deer was discovered. How long
it had been there has not been deter-
mined. Health officer Samuel M.
Sankey, of Philipsburg, was notified
and he had the carcass removed.

the first episode of “Pearl of the
Army” at the Scenic on Tuesday
evening? If you failed to do so you
missed the opening part of one of the
best motion picture serials so far
produced. It is replete with interest-
ing situations and has enough thrills
in it to hold the attention of every
one. This serial will be a weekly
offering at the Scenic, but there will
be many other high-class pictures.
—-Frank Woogcoch, a Polander,
was brought to Bellefonte from Phil-
ipsburg on Monday and landed in jail |
on the charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill. Woogcoch was a
member of a party playing cards at
a Polish boarding heuse at Retort
Saturday night. A dispute arose dur-
ing the game and Woogcoch stabbed
three other Polanders. Though their
condition is not considered serious
Woogcoch was arrested and in de-
fault of $1,000 bail was sent to jail.

——Pennsylvania railroad officials
announce that the railroad wreck at
Bristol, Pa., on February 25th, in
which three Williamsport men were
killed and J. H. Detwiler, of Centre
Hall, lost three valuable Hambleto-
nian horses, was caused by a hot box
which burned off a journal on the
eleventh car from the engine on the
freight train, derailing that car and
ten others.

wreck furnishes a practical ‘denton-
stration of the truth of the cbaten-
tion that the “extra crew” laws not
only fail to increase safety, but actu-
ally encourage indifference to duty.
——Harry Fisher, son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Fisher, of south Water
street, will leave Bellefonte tomorrow
for New York city where he will join
Lieut. Pierre Boal and just one week
later, or on Saturday, March 24th,
they will both sail for France. Mr.
Fisher, who served one enlistment in
the United States navy and took a
full course in the aviation corps, has
already signed up as a lieutenant in
the British Royal Air corps which is
doing such efficient work in France.
Upon his arrival in that country ke
will naturally have to take a short
course in learning the handling of
the British and French aircraft, as
they are very much more sensitive to
the touch than the American made
machines, but as soon as he becomes
adept in handling the airplanes he
will go into active service in the fiy-
ing corps.
——County treasurer David Cham-
bers was so busy talking to a friend
in front of Green’s drug store last
Friday evening that he did not see
the Snow Shoe train pull out until it
was too far gone to catch it. Then
he telephoned home for a car. The
car arrived in course of time and Mr.
Chambers and son started for home.
On the way up the mountain the roads
were so bad that they broke the trans-
mission in the car. Young Chambers
then walked up the mountain to the
Reese farm where he telephoned for
another machine and in the mean-
time got the assistance of Mr. Reese
and his team to pull the disabled ma-
chine up the mountain. When the
other machine arrived they put out a
tow-line and towed the broken-down
machine home, but it was after mid-
night when they finally reached Clar-
Fortunately the
night was not cold so they did not
suffer in this respect.

Big Prices for Farm Stock and Ma-
chinery.
One of the biggest and best sales |
held in Centre county this spring was |
near Pleasant
Gap, last Friday. L. Frank Mayes |
was the auctioneer and he must have
had the crowd hypnotized from the |
prices he got for everything. His |
seven head of horses averaged $260 !
apiece. Cows sold as high as $114. Al
brood sow with eight six weeks het
pigs brought $86.00. Shoats weighing |
ninety pounds sold for $11.75. Geese
sold as high as $4.00 a goose and
chickens brought $1.25. Harness that
Mr. Jodon purchased three years ago |
for $61.00, sold for $74.75. Farm ma- !
chinery that he bought when he went !
to farming four years ago brought |
more than he paid for it at that time. '
In fact there were no bargains at all,
as is evidenced by the fact that the
sale totalled just $7,434.82. In addi-|
tion to the above Mr. Jodon sold his
crops in the ground at private sale !
for a little over five hundred dollars. |
The spring-like weather on Friday |
brought out an unusually large crowd |
and the large number of bidders had |
no doubt a lot to do with the high |
prices received.
Auctioneer Mayes stated that it
was the best sale he ever cried, and he
has officiated at a large number dur-
ing the twelve or fifteen years he has
been at the work. All told this year
he has between thirty and forty sales,
and he anticipates that when the last
one has been disposed of he will have
sold over one hundred thousand dol-
lars worth of farm stock and ma-
chinery this spring. And that will
probably be less than half of such
property that will change hands this
season through the medium of the
public sale.
x Out in the World.
Yesterday morning the overseer of
the poor of Elizabeth, N. J., with a dis-
trict nurse arrived in Bellefonte with
a family of six Slavish children, rang-
ing in age from three to thirteen
years, and thereby hangs a tragic |
story.
Less than a year ago Mr. and Mrs.
John Pascovick with their several
children left Snow Shoe township for
Elizabeth, N. J., the father no doubt
lured there by the prospect of higher
wages. Some time ago the father
killed his wife and youngest child, but
there must have been some extenuat-
ing circumstance in the case as after
conviction last week he was only giv-
en a penitentiary sentence.
During his incarceration in jail his
six children were taken care of by the
authorities of Elizabeth but now that
the father’s case has been disposed of
the authorities sent them back to Cen-
tre county, their old home.
When they arrived in Bellefonte
yesterday morning they were taken
to the Garman house and district at-
torney James C. Furst notified. He
in turn sent for Mrs. J. Thomas
Mitchell, president of the Children’s
Aid society of Centre county. The
latter at once proclaimed her willing-
ness to try to get homes for the un-
fortunate waifs.
“ In the meantime county treasurer
David Chambers learned of the chil-
dren’s plight and knowing that Snow
Shoe township was liable for their
keep he got active. By noontime he
had secured homes for two of them
and felt very confident he could place
them all. So taking the six children
he left Bellefonte at two o’clock on
the big Emerick bus, went to Mill
Hall and out to Clarence on the New
York Central train, doing the work
as cheerfully as if he were in the
treasurer’s office receiving a ten
thousand dollar deposit.
Mrs. Parsels’ Campaign in Centre
County.
The six day’s campaign of Mrs.
Parsels, National W. C. T. U. lectur-
er and organizer, was a wonderful
success, bringing great results in
spite of the unfavorable time of year
for such work. She spoke thirteen
times in eleven different places, con-
ducted an institute at Centre Hall, or-
ganized one new Union—Boalsburg—
(the only unorganized territory where
she spoke,) started four Young Peo-
ple’s Branches—Millheim, Rebers-
burg, Spring Mills and Boalsburg—
gained one hundred and sixty-three
new members (membership means
pledging one’s self to total abstinence
and the payment of annual dues,) and
left a substantial bonus for the coun-
ty traesurer after all expenses had
been paid from the generous collec-
tions donated.
Splendid audiences greeted her, au-
diences remarkable for the number
of men and boys present and the
number who joined the ranks of the
various Unions. The Pennsylvania
W. C. T. U. last year had a member-
ship of forty-nine thousand, six thous-
and of this number being men.
Mrs. Parsels was astonished at
the marvelous increase of temperance
sentiment in Centre county over her
last tour of this region eight months
ago.
