A Suicide Well Known in Bellefonte.
A man who registered as Da-
vid William Dailey committed suicide
in the Vanderbilt hotel, New York
city, on Sunday morning by shooting
himself in the head. In his room
were found a number of letters ad-
dressed to people in different cities
and towns, one of which was address-
ed to “Mrs. Verna T. Dailey, care of
A. C. Thomas, Waddle, Centre Co.,
Pa.” The Mrs. Dailey referred to in
the address was formerly Miss Verna
Thomas, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
A. C. Thomas, of Waddle, and very
well known in Bellefonte.
Mr. Dailey was formerly. one of the
highest paid grocery salesmen in the
business and several years ago went
to Detroit as head of a chain of stores
in the middle west. Rumor has it
that financial reverses drove him to
take his own life.
The New York papers state that
Mrs. Dailey was granted a divorce
from her husband in February last
and that both his business and domes-
tic affairs were in a distracting con-
dition.
He was well known in Bellefonte
and several years ago spent the great-
er part of the summer at the Thomas
home near Waddle. It was while
there that he procured from his moth-
er-in-law the formula for making to-
mato soup that he later put on the
market as one of the famous “Bridal”
brands.
——Between four and five o'clock
Wednesday afternoon three little boys
were playing on a raft in Spring creek
which was moored at the Lewisburg
and Tyrone railroad bridge. Finally
two of the lads jumped off and in do-
ing so broke the raft from its fasten-
ings and before the other little fellow
could get off it had floated toward
mid-stream. There were no paddles
on the raft or anything with which
to steer it and the boy was absolutely
helpless so far as his hands were con-
cerned, but he had good lungs and he
' made free use of them to attract help.
Fortunately the raft caught the cur-
rent going down the mill race and
drifted into the headland so that the
lad was rescued without any trouble,
and as soon as he struck solid ground
he made away as quickly as possible,
and it will likely be some time before
he again ventures on a raft.
— Invitations have been issued for
the wedding of Miss Jennie E. Crit-
tenden and Clayton Clarence Johnson,
both of Waterbury, Conn., the cere-
mony to take place at the home of
Miss Crittenden’s sister, Mrs. David
Stinson, at Allentown, Pa., on Thurs-
day, April fifth. Miss Crittenden was
a daughter of the late Rev. Richard
Crittenden and with the family lived
the greater part of her life in Belle-
fonte. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson will live
in Waterbury.
