Michael Smith, who coaducted a res- taurant in the Y. M. C. A. at Burn- ham, was found murdered on the road between Burnham and Lewistown at an early hour last Saturday morning by workmen on their way home from the Standard Steel works. Smith had 2 bullet hole in his chest and clasped tightly in his right hand was a canvas bag containing the change taken from the money drawer in the restaurant when he closed up at two o’clock in the morning. Money and other valu- ables known to have been possessed by Smith were found upon his person, and also a wallet in his inside pocket containing $500 of counterfeit money. Jealousy was at first supposed to have been the motive of the crime and Michael Le Margo, a timekeeper at the steel works, was arrested on sus- picion, and Miss Nora Lyter, of Mount Union, Le Margo’s housekeeper, was held as an important witness it being elaimed that Le Margo was jealous of Smith’s atténtions to Miss Lyter. The finding of a revolver on almost a direct line from where Smith’s body was found to the Le Margo home was the evidence upon which Le Margo was arrested but later a witness turn- ed up who identified the revolver, an Iver-Johnson, as one they had seen purchased by Eli Lukao, a Hungarian employed at the Logan iron and steel works at Burnham. When the author- ities went to look for Lukao he was not to be found and inquiry revealed the fact that he had left town on Sat- urday morning for Bellefonte. They traced him here and found that he had bought a ticket for Gary, Ind., and word was telephoned to the police in Pittsburgh to be on the lookout for him. Lukao was discovered in Pitts- burgh on Sunday and arrested, being taken back to Lewistown on Monday. The only thing incriminating found on Lukao was a package of counter- feit bills aggregating $1,200, similar to those found on Smith, and now the authorities are wondering that if in addition to solving a murder mystery they are not on the verge of unravel- ing a big counterfeiting operation. Narrow Escape from Death. Robert Kerns, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry B. Kerns, had a narrow and almost .niraculous es- cape from death about nine o’clock on Monday morning, and as it was suf- fered a badly lacerated scalp. The street employees were working on east Howard street and the boy was there toddling after his father. The latter finally picked the boy up and put him on one of the cump wagons used in hauling stone for the street. The wagon had not gone far, however, when the child fell off and the rear wheel caught him on the left side of the head. Fortunately the boy’s head was pushed aside by the wheel so that no bones were broken but the scalp was torn loose from the top of his head down to the left ear. The child was hurried to the Belle- fonte hospital where the ugly injury was washed and dressed and if no complications develop he will recover in due time, but it was liitle less than a miracle that he wasn’t crushed and killed outright. Snook — Thomas. — Another war wedding occurred at State College last Thursday evening when Lawrence F. Snook, of Milroy, a sergeant in the Boal machine gun troop, and Miss Laura Thomas, a daughter of Mrs. Sarah Thomas, of State College, were married in St. Paul’s Methodist Epis- copal church by the pastor, Rev. 1. W. Long. The ceremony teok place at 7:30 o'clock and was attended by a number of friends of the contracting parties. The bride, who wore a gown of white satin and carried a bouquet of white roses, was attended by her cousin, Miss Margaret Stone, as maid of honor, and her sister, Miss Bertha Thomas, as bridesmaid. Alexander Dewey, also a member of the Boal troop, officiated as best man. Sergt. and Mrs. Snook have not made any plans for their immediate future ow- ing to the fact that the Boal machine gun troop is liable to be soon ordered to an intensive training camp, but when the war is over they will proba- bly live at State Cellege. soo Shope—Heverley.—Though a little belated announcement hes been made of the marriage in Lock Haven on August 18th, of Gilbert ‘Shope and Miss Maude Heverley, both of How- ard. The ceremony took place at the parsonage of Trinity Methodist church and was performed by the pas- tor, Rev. Oliver S. Metzler. —r oe Another Fatal Automobile Accident.

In July his partner died and since then he had worked unusuaiiv hard, and this fact probably hasteved his death.

The business men of Montgomery, with their wives and sweethearts, made an automobile trip through Ly- coming, Clinton, Centre, Union and Northumberland counties on Monday and had a most delightful trip. There were just ninety-four men and women in the party. They came by way of Muncy, Williamsport, Jersey Shore and Lock Haven reaching Bellefonte at 1:30 in time for a specially prepar- ed dinner at the Brockerhoff house. Prior to going in to dinner the crowd gathered in the hotel parlors and spent a few minutes in social chat and singing songs. It was rather unfortunate that the run was made on Monday, as owing to the fact of its being Labor day all the business places in Bellefonte were closed, and many of the business men out of town. But a few who were at home gathered at the hotel and met the visitors in an informal way. The very fact that it was a holiday and all business places in Bellefonte closed might be considered a misfortune for Bellefonte, because the Montgomery contingent was a very progressive and prosperous looking celegation. Their cars included such makes as the Pack- ard, the Marmon, Cadillac, Studebak- er, Buick, and such standard makes, and most of them looked as if they were this year’s model and had seen little wear and tear. The run was piloted by William Decker, president of the Good Roads association of Pennsylvania, and from Bellefonte they crossed Nittany moun- tain to Centre Hall, down through Pennsvalley and the Woodward Nar- rows to Mifflinburg and Lewisburg, thence by Milton, Watsontown and Allenwood to Montgomery. Two More Prisoners Escape. Benny Lichenstein, alias J. Kurtz, and James Allen, two trusty prison- ers, escaped from the Rockview peni- tentiary some time Thursday night by sawing off a bar inthe clothes room. Their escape was detected about 5:30 o’clock on Friday morning and officers in surrounding towns were notified to be on the watch ior them. Lichenstein was sent up from Al- toona for burglary on July 2nd, 1912, for net less than nine years nor more than thirteen, hence had served a lit- tle more than half of his minimum sentence. Allen was sent up from Elk county on the charge of breaking and entering and had almest complet- ed his sentence. After a five days’ chase the two men were caught at Jersey Shore on Wednesday morning and that afterncon were brouglit to Bellefonte and landed in the Centre county jail. Prof. Wagner’s Typewriter Stolen. Last Friday night some person un- known broke into the new High school building and stole Pref. Jonas E. Wagner's L. C. Smith typewriter, and now the school beard is offering a re- ward of $25.00 for information that will lead to the discovery of the thief. The thief gained an entrance to the building through one of the rear win- dows in the basement where workmen were making repairs. The window was out but the iron bars were in and these were removed. Going to the first floor the thief got into the director’s room where the typewriter happened to Le that night. But the thief also forced the door leading from the director’s room into Prof. Wagner’s office but did not dis- turb anything there. The only thing taken was the typewriter. ——Wednesday nigh%’s welcomed by the farmers. rain was WORK OF EXEMPTION BOARD. First Contingent of National Army Will Not Leave Until Sept. 19th.

Orders were issued on Wednesday to resume the movement of the Penn- sylvania National Guard from the va- rious home training stations to Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., but no defi- nate date has been set for the depar- ture of Troop L. It is possible the headquarters staff now at Sunbury and a Pittsburgh regiment may depart today or tomorrow, but if the troops are sent in the order cesignated in yesterday’s Philadelphia papers Troop L will not get away before the middle or latter part of next week, if then. The time depends very much on how many the railroad company can han- dle in a day. If only a regiment a day can be handled it will take two weeks to move the entire guard, but it is just possible the roads can wvensport two regiments a day. Inaay event as soon as definite orders have been re- ceived for Troop L to move notices will be posted so that the public will know it. now it a Titan Metal Co. Takes Nittany Fur- nace Site. All the obstacles and technicalities of title having been cleared away the Titan Metal company has finally de- cided on the old Nittany furnace site as the location for their auxiliary plant. In fact they took possession on Tusday by moving the building erect- ed at their old plant in the spring as a barracks for the soldier guards on du- ty there to the Nittany site to be used as a tool house. Contractor George Rhoads hauled the building on his au- to truck and a trailer and because he did not have a trailer license a state cop very inconsiderately notified him that he was violating the law and the fine and costs amounted to twelve dol- lars. But aside from that little im- pediment he got the building moved and placed all right. The Titan company already has the location of the first building to be erected staked out and the contract has been let to Gehret & Lambert. It will be a structure 60x200 feet in size and similar in design to the main building of the plant at Milesburg. Work on the same will be begun im- mediately so that it can be finished as soon as possible, as the company is anxious to get the new machinery al- ready on hand placed in position for operation. The Nittany furnace site contains sixteen acres and will afford the company ample opportunity for expansion for years to come. It is also right on the line of the Lewisburg & Tyrone railroad and has the best of railroad facilities. Brant House to Change Hands. Mrs. James Noonan has decided to retire from hotel life and has dispos- ed of all her right, title and interest in the Brant house to William W. Waddle who will assume the manage- ment as soon as a legal transfer of the license can be made, which will be on or about the fifteenth of the month. - Mrs. Noonan has had person- al charge of the hotel since the death of her husband early in June but for various reasons decided to retire. She and her two daughters will move into one of the Kelley houses on Logan street, in the rear of the new garage now being erected on the corner of Bishop and Allegheny streets. Mr. Waddle, who will take charge of the hotel, needs no introduction to the people of Centre county or the traveling public. He has been a resi- dent of Bellefonte for many years and has held a number of responsible bus- iness positions. During the past five or six years he has been Lead clerk at the Brockerhoff house and has thus acquired the needs and desires of the traveling public that will enable him to cater to their wants when he as- sumes charge as proprietor of the Brant house. On Tuesday Gehret & Lambert were given the contra:t to make some much-needed changes and repairs at the bar, so that when Mr. Waddle takes possession everything will be in good shape in that part of the hotel. Veteran Railroader Retired. Having been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad for forty-five years Samuel C. Lightner, of Tyrone, was placed on the retired list on Sep- tember first. Mr. Lightner was born at the old Monroe furnace in Stone- valley, across the mountain from Pine Grove Mills, where he spent his boy- hood. When a young mar he located at Pine Grove Mills and later moved to Stormstown. He lived there until thirty-five years old when he went to Tyrone and entered the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad company. He served as fireman, car inspector, car builder and gate watchman, but in whatever capacity he always gave the company the best that was in him. Though he has now been placed on the retired list at the age of seventy years he stil enjoys good health. To Put Wires Underground. The Pennsylvania railroad compa- ny is making preparations to put all the wires connecting with the passen- ger and freight depots in this place underground. This will include tele- graph, telephone and electric light wires. The wires will not be laid in conduits but will be strung in three inch cast iron pipe laid in con- crete. Most of the materal for the job is now here and work on the same will be begun at once so that the overhear wires will be removed within the next two weeks. ——— — Subscribe for the “Watchman.” GRANGERS HAVE BIG PROGRAM For Their Annual Encampment and Fair at Centre Hall Next Week.

The Penn Public Service company and the Citizens Water company, of Philipsburg, have brought injunction proceedings against th: Harbison- Walker Refractories company, the Moshannen Coal Mining company, the Philipsburg Coal and Lard company, the Atherton-Barnes :ompany, the Dumbleton Bros., S. J. Dunham & Co., Stott & Rapsey, William Pritchard, Commodore Hassinger and Silas R. Thompson to restrain them from pol- luting the waters of Cold Stream creek from which the water supply is drawn for Philipsburg, South Philips- burg, and portions of Rush township, Centre county, and Decatur and Mor- ris townships, Clearfield county. The plaintiffs allege that the de- fendants permit water ~ontaining sul- phur to drain from their mines into Cold Stream, thus polluting it, and that 2 number of farmers allow the drainage from their barayards to flow into the creek. The water company asked for the injunction on the grounds that the alleged drainage ren- dered its water supply unfit for use while the Penn Public Service compa- ny’s complaint is that the sulphur in the water is injurious to its machine- ry. The matter will be threshed out in the Centre county court. Foot Almose Severed in Mower Knife. Gray L. Furey, the eleven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Furey, had his right foot almose sev- ered at the ankle on Friday afternoon when he accidentally stepped in front of a mower when it was in action and he is now in the Bellefonte hospital where every effort is being made to save the foot. Mr. Furey was confined to the house by illness on Friday and he sent Her- bert Larimer, his nephew, out to the field to mow corn for his dairy herd, the corn having been sowed thick to furnish feed for the cows. Gray Fu- rey went along with him as was his custom to do and in some way happen- ed to step in front of the knife bar when the mower was in motion.
