Philadelphia Man Held at Clearfield as Alleged Attempted Murderer. . After a ten day chase over four States and into the District of Colum- bia C. J. Logan, alias J. R. Crawford, an employee of a private detective agency of Philadelphia, was finally captured in Washington by county detective Hugh Jeffrey, of DuBois, and landed in the Clearfield county jail on Tuesday of last week. Logan is under the serious charge of at- tempted murder. "The case is of state-wide interest and is an incident in conection with a criminal action brought in the Philadelphia county courts a few months ago against E. J. Brill, the wealthy car builder, by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Seabrook, of Westover, Clear- field county. Brill was charged with adultery and being the father of the five year old child of Mary Seabrook, who at the time was a nurse in his home. While the action was pending and before the trial of Brill Logan went to Westover, it is alleged for the pur- pose of obtaining any evidence he could that would be favorable to Brill. He managed to worm his way into the good graces of the Seabrook family and then, it is alleged, attempted to murder Mr. Seabrook by putting poi- son in a drink of gin, and made an at- tempt on the girl’s life by trying to induce her to take some kind of dope as headache powders. Seabrook be- came very sick but recovered after an antidote had been given him, while the girl did not take the dope but in- stead turned it over to the district at- torney of Clearfield county. At the trial of Brill in January he claimed that he had already settled the case with the girl by paying her five thousand dollars and after hear- ing the evidence a nolle contendre was entered and Brill was paroled by the court, Logan was held in $10,000 bail for trial at the May term of Clearfield county court, and bail was furnished by Philadelphia parties.

Thompson died quite suddenly at his home at Port Matilda last Thursday afternoon, of heart failure. He was around in the forenoon as usual at- tending to his professional work but after dinner he complained about not feeling very good. The seriousness of his condition, however, was not real- ized up until a short time before he died. : James Adam Thompson was a son of Matthew L. and Susan Marie Speer Thompson and was born in Lock Ha- ven on January 19th, 1844, hence was 73 years, 3 months and 7 days old. When he was a youth his parents moved to Boalsburg where he lived until eighteen years of age when he enlisted on August 5th, 1862, as a pri- vate in Company G, 148th regiment, commanded by Gen. James A. Bea- ver. He was wounded at the battle of Gettysburg on July 3rd, 1863, by a fragment of an exploding shell, and after his recovery he was detached from his company and appointed a courier at Gen. Winfield S. Hancock’s corps headquarters, a position he held throughout the war. He was a splen- did horseman, a fine looking soldier who always won the admiration of his comrades for his dauntless brave- ry. He was mustered out of service with his company at the close of the war and returned to Boalsburg where he learned the coachmaking trade with Mr. “Kreamer. This work not being to his taste he went to Philadel- phia and took a course in medicine at the Jefferson Medical college. After his graduation he establish- ed himself at Snow Shoe and practic- ed there a few years, then went to State College and from there to Stormstown. From there he came to Bellefonte and for a year or two con- ducted the drug store now owned by Basil Mott. Disposing of that he re- turned to Stormstown but later mov- ed to Port Matilda where he has practiced a number of years. He was a member of the Bald Eagle Presbyterian church and an elder in same since 1901. Personally he was a most congenial and companionable gentleman and his death is sincerely mourned by a wide circle of friends. On February 18th, 1880, he was united in marriage to Miss Nora M. Thompson, who survives with no children. He leaves, however, one brother, Robert Thompson, of Kent, Ohio. Funeral services were held at his late home at Port Matilda at two o'clock on Monday afternoon by Rev. Walter Fay Carson, after which bur- ial was made in the Presbyterian cemetery. A large number of Belle- fonters aftended the funeral. Jl mre Il ALLPORT. —Llewellen H.

A Good Crowd in Attendance Sunday | Afternoon. i One of the biggest flags so far ! flung to the breeze in Centre county is the one raised in front of the | school house at Julian on Sunday afternoon. The flag was purchased by the citizens of the town at the so- licitation of the school children, and despite the fact that the weather was raw and cold a good crowd was in at- tendance: Frank W. Dillen, teacher of the school, and he was assisted by Roland Williams, and a large choir. Previous to the opening of the exercises the school children formed at the school house and marching double file, with { each one carrying a small flag, they | marched around the main business | block in the town and formed a square | around the flag. Following an appro- priate song by the choir prayer was offered by Rev. H. C. Cramer, of the Port Matilda charge of the Methodist church. During the singing of “The Flag of My Country,” the beautiful emblem was hoisted to the top of a forty-five foot pole by six veterans of the Civil war. Miss Julia Bullock, the fourteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Bullock, was then introduced and gave a splendid recitation on the origin of the flag. Patriotic address- es were then made by Rev. Cramer, Burgess Edmund Blanchard and Col. H. S. Taylor, of Bellefonte, though the latter was compelled to cut his speech short on account of a threaten- ed shower. But, notwithstanding this fact, the flag now floats in the breeze at Julian, an every day emblem of the fact that there is just as much patriotism and loyalty among her citizens now as there was when so many of her noble sons responded to the call of President Lincoln in the trying days of 1861. The writer of this article as well as the Bellefonte gentlemen who spoke at the flag raising are under obliga- tions to Mr. J. H Turner, who not only conveyed us from Bellefonte to Julian but landed all safe at home. Was It An Aeroplane. Several weeks ago the “Watch- man’s” Lemont correspondent report- ed that an aeroplane had been seen sailing over Boalsburg and Oak Hall on two occasions. At the time very little consideration was given the statement. And now comes Frank E. Naginey, a well known citizen of Bellefonte, who avers that he not on- ly heard an aeroplane sail over Belle- fonte at two o’clock on Sunday morn- ing, but that he got out of bed, went to the window and could distinctly tell that the machine was flying al- most due west. He could see no light, however, to denote the location of the machine. The question now is, was it an aero- plane that has been heard on the above occasions, and if not, what was it? And if it was an air-man making a flight, where did he come from and what was he doing in this section of the State? The nearest aviation school to Bellefonte is Philadelphia, though an amateur station is located at Williamsport, but it would hardly be likely that any one from either place would be flying in this locality. Christian Patriotic Service at the Academy. A christian patriotic service will be held on the campus at the Bellefonte Academy on Sunday afternoon at 8 o’clock to which the public at large is cordially invited. Three prominent speakers will be present in the per- sons of Dean Arthur Holmes, of State College; Col. J. L. Spangler and Col. | H. S. Taylor, of Bellefonte. Mr. Rob- inson, of State College, the man who is in charge of the music at that in- stitution, will be present to take charge of the singing. As this is a purely patriotic meet- ing it would be a highly commenda- ble act if some band would volunteer their services for this occasion. Per- ‘sons living in the country cannot spend the afternoon. in a better way than in motoring to Bellefonte to at- tend this meeting. A meeting of Bellefonte patri- otic citizens has been called for this (Friday) evening, in the arbitration room of the court house, to discuss the advisability of forming a .Red Cross organization. Every man, wom- an and child should be eager to add their mite in the country’s effort to relieve the distress of the present ap- palling war conditions, this opportu- nity being given only through direct association with the National Red Cross of America. Col. J. L. Spangler having consented to lead this move- ment, has spent a part of the past week in both Washington and New York, in search of information for the ‘most direct and practical methods to be used, and will tell you of them to- night. Go to the court house and join the Red Cross, with the intention of helping to make it one of the most successful branch organizations of the country. The exercises were in charge of —1If you find it in the “Watch-- Nd an, - Vout
