Jackson, colored, of Bellefonte, enlisted at Altoona last Thursday as a stevedore in the quar- termaster’s corps. So far Centre county raccoon hunters have made no record, but these crisp, cool nights ought to lend piquancy to the sport. ——Automobile owners might find something to their interest by reading the Palace Garage advertisement in this issue of the “Watchman.” ——In last week’s “Watchman” it was stated that Robert Tressler had been paroled by Judge Quigley when it should have been Harvey Tressler. The MecNitt-Huyett Lumber company have leased the Decker building on Spring street, in the rear of the Centre county bank, for office purposes. Lieut. Vincent Taylor, who re- cently graduated at West Point, left this week for Syracuse, N. Y., where he has been assigned to the 38th U. S. infantry. The next attraction at the op- era house will be Vogel's big min- strels, with the newest of stage crea- tions. They will also show Japland and the garden of the Mikado. A kitchen shower was given Miss Lela Ardery, on Wednesday evening, by a bevy of her young women friends in anticipation of her marriage in the near future to Nevin Cole. —The Titan Metal company is making good progress on its new plant. The foundation for the first big building is practically finished and a good part of the structural work is on the ground ready to put up. A food sale will be held by the Young Women’s Missionary society of the Presbyterian church Saturday afternoon, October 6th, 1917, at the S. & H. premium parlors. Cakes, bread, pies and candy will be for sale. ——Hon. John Noll was seventy- two years old last Wednesday and he celebrated the event by looking after his laundry business as usual. Mr. Noll, by the way, is a well preserved man and from his looks has a good lease of life ahead of him yet. ——The Twenty-second volunteer cavalry will hold its annual reunion in Tyrone on Thursday, October 11th, morning, afternoon and evening. As full a turnout as possible of the old comrades is desired as the members are becoming fewer year by year. And now it is said the chestnut crop was injured by the hard frost two weeks ago and what few there are will be soft and immature. Of course in this county the frost did not do any great damage as the chest- nut burs are few and far between this year. Beginning next week the Red Cross rooms will be open on Monday and Tuesday afternoons at two o’clock and evenings at 8 o’clock, for regular workers, instead of Tuesday and Fri- day afternoons, as they have been dur- ing the summer. Red Cross workers will please note the change. The Dorcas society of St. John’s Catholic church cleared fifty dollars at their euchre and five hun- dred held in the Knights of Columbus hall on Tuesday evening, and on Wed- nesday a check for the above amount was handed to Charles M. McCurdy, treasurer for the Red Cross fund. ——Rev. A. Lawrence Miller, pastor of the Bloomsburg Methodist church, has accepted a call to the chaplainey of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania infan- try with the rank of first lieutenant. Rev. Miller is well known in Centre county and his friends here know that with him as chaplain the spiritual wel- fare of the soldiers will be ably look- ed after. Mrs. J. C. Harper has been very successful this year in raising in her garden on east Howard street some beautiful specimens of white tomatoes, grown from seed sent her by her son, Clarence G. Harper. When the toma- toes ripen on the vine they are almost perfectly white, but have a yellow cast if pulled and allowed to ripen off of the vine. ——Miss Jane Crowley, of Lock Ha- ven, has been appvinted nurse in charge of the dispensary at Tyronc, and first assistant in that of Altoona, the appointment dating from Tuesday, September 25th. Miss Crowley will devote the first four days of the week to her new duties, the remainder to be given to the continuing of her profes- sional orthopedic work in Lock Haven. ——J. Thomas Mitchell Esq., now has a force of men at work making necessary repairs at his property, the old Graham home on Allegheny street, preparatory to his occupying the same some time between October first and fifteenth. It is also his intention to have the house paint- ed on the outside some time this fall, which will greatly improve its appear- ance. ——Thirty Lewistown people made a motor run to Centre county on Sat- wrday afternoon, coming over the Sev- ‘en Mountains to Potters Mills, thence by way of Boalsburg to State College and past the new penitentiary #o nte. They had supper at the ®rockerhoff house and left for home SEPTEMBER TERM OF COURT, | Escaped Prisoner Pleads Own Case to Court and Jury. The regular session of the Septem- ber term of court opened on Monday morning with Judge Henry C. Quigley on the bench and Gilbert S. Burrows present as court reporter. A number of motions and petitions were present- ed to the court after which the list of constables was called and each in turn made his report. The list of grand jurors was next called and after in- structing them as to their duties Frank Daley, of Curtin township, was appointed foreman. The list of trav- ‘erse jurors was also called and absen- tees noted. On Monday afternoon the three prisoners who were in the county jail on charges of breaking and escaping from the Rockview penitentiary were brought into court for disposal of their cases. The first called up were Benny Lichenstein and James Allen, who made their escape on the night of August 30th and were caught at Jer- sey Shore the following Wednesday. Lichenstein had been sent up from Blair county and almost completed a nine year’s sentence for burglary, while Allen had been sent up from Elk county and had served about half his sentence of from three to four years for breaking and entering. The men had no attorney and the court ap- pointed Clement Dale Esq., to defend them. Mr. Dale took his clients into a side room and after explaining to them the nature of their crime and that under the laws of Pennsylvania a jury could do nothing less than con- viet them the two men went into open court and entered pleas of guilty. The court then imposed the usual sentence, that they be taken back to the peni- tentiary and serve out their original sentence and an additional sentence of equal length in years. The third escaped prisoner to be called up was Allie Hammond, alias William Jennings, alias W. R. Black,of Spangler, who was sent up from Som- erset county on May 14th, 1917, for three years for burglary. Hammond was transferred to the Rockview peni- tentiary on June 1st, escaped on the 19th and was recaptured near Pine Grove Mills on the 22nd. When called before the court on Monday and asked if he had an attorney he stated that he did not but was willing to have one. The court appointed Clement Dale to look after the prisoner’s interest but when Mr. Dale approached him the prisoner, evidently recalling what had happened to the two prisoners just be- fore his case was called, told the nes- tor of the Centre county bar that he didn’t want him. He was then given his choice of attorneys and he selected N. B. Spangler Esq. Mr. Spangler took his client into an ante-room and evidently attempted to induce him to plead guilty, because when they emerged from the room he repudiated the services of any lawyer and said he would handle his own case. He then wrote out a plea of not guilty to the three counts charged in the indict ment, went on the witness stand and told his story, claiming that while he did escape he did not break out and therefore was not guilty as indicted. Hammond also made his own plea to the jury but it did not prove very ef- fective as a verdict of guilty was re- turned after only fifteen minutes’ de- liberation. The court then imposed the usual sentence on Hammond, after which the prisoner said: “Your Hon- or, I ask that an exception be noted.” The court noted the exception and re- manded the prisoner in the custody of the sheriff. The next case called for trial was that of the Commonwealth vs. Thom- as Gutwald, desertion and non-sup- port. Defendant plead guilty and sentence was suspended upon the pay- ment of the costs and entering into an agreement to pay his wife twenty-five dollars a month beginning October 15th. Commonwealth vs. J. O. Meese, de- sertion and non-support. On the wit- ness stand Mrs. Meese testified that her husband had given her only one dollar recently and that they did not have enough to eat. On cross- exam- ination, however, she admitted hitting him with the poker and any other ar- ticle she could conveniently get, and of stoning him down the road on one occasion. At this point Judge Quig- ley stated that under such circumstan- ces the husband could not be convict- ed of the desertion and non-support claim of his wife but that he would have to make some provision for the support of his child, and the jury re- turned a verdict of not guilty. The court then ordered that the man pay the costs and eight dollars a month for the support of his child. Commonwealth vs. Edward Grav- ish, assault and battery. Prosecutor Paddy Buscotis. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty and divided the costs, the prosecutor to pay one-third and the defendant two-thirds. Hillary and May Viard, of Philips- burg, were the defendants in several cases brought by D. M. Donohoe, a member of the state constabulary, and as the former plead guilty and the lat- ter was convicted it will help some in the campaign to clean up Philipsburg. Commonwealth vs. David Reese, in- dicted for threats. Prosecutor A. L. Woomer. This case grew out of a misunderstanding over a settlement and the court held the defendant not guilty but ordered him to pay half the costs. Commonwealth vs. Henry Wine- brenner, indicted for carrying conceal- ed deadly weapons and making threats. The defendant plead guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $25, costs of prosecution and impris- onment in the county jail for a period. of nine months. Thomas Martin, of Spring township, plead guilty to the charge of deser- tion and non-support, but sentence has not been imposed. The last case called was that of the Commonwealth vs. Thomas Menchio, charged with the stabbing of Walter Young, in Philipsburg, on the night of May 24th, as the result of which he died on June 12th. The jury selected to sit on the case is as follows: J. B. Martin, State College. Calvin Holt, Huston township. James C. Condo, Gregg township. C. M. Wilson, Huston township. Clifford Close, Ferguson township. Charles R. Meek, Penn township. O. J. Stover, Liberty township. Charles A. Hening, Gregg township. Norman R. Wright, Bellefonte. Daniel Shook, Gregg township. Wallace Kerstetter, Penn township. Wm. H. Garman, Bellefonte. Jail Delivery Frustrated. On Wednesday afternoon when sheriff George W. Yarnell made the rounds of the jail he noticed a news- paper spread out rather suspiciously at the foot of the cot in the cell occu- pied by Benny Lichenstein, one of the prisoners who escaped from the Rock- view penitentiary and who was this week resentenced for another term. On asking the prisoner what the pa- per was doing there Benny replied that it had just fallen there. He was told to pick it up and when he did so the sheriff discovered a pile of mortar and small stones. An investigation disclosed the fact that they had been dug out of the wall near the ceiling of his cell, and with the start he had thus made he would have been able to have dug out in a night. Lichenstein was removed to another cell and a guard put over him as well as the other pris- oners who have been sentenced to the penitentiary. To make sure that there would be no jail delivery the sheriff yesterday morning took Lichenstein, James Al- len, Allie Hammond and William Shannon to the penitentiary at Pitts- burgh. ——— te Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of Atonement, was celebrated by the He- brew business men of Bellefonte on Wednesday by keeping their business places closed until six o’clock in the evening. oe ——J. W. Leathers, of Howard, and George Long, of Curtin township, were taken to the Danville asylum last Friday by Sheriff Yarnell, accompa- nied by chief of police Harry Duke- man and constable Howard Smead. William Doak, the blind, deaf and dumb man, wishes the “Watch- man” to publicly express his apprecia- tion to J. Kennedy Johnston Esq., for presenting him with a good, strong cane, when he observed that his old one was broken. He further says that Mrs. Johnston never fails to remember him at Thanksgiving and other times with a box of good things to eat. And for both of these things Mr. Doak is very thankful. ————aee- Among the promotions and ap- pointments announced by the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company on Tuesday was that of Joseph J. Rhoads from superintendent of the Schuylkill di- vision to superintendent of the Alle- gheny division, with headquarters at Pittsburgh. Quite naturally Mr. Rhoads’ many Bellefonte friends are pleased to see him going gradually but surely up the ladder of the Penn- sylvania management. The Scenic is the place to go these chilly evenings when it is too cold to stand around on the street. The big auditorium is comfortable and the motion pictures always worth see- ing. Manager T. Clayton Brown is always on the lookout for something new and of especial interest, and in that way he manages to serve his pa- trons with the best attainable. Every evening during the week there is something worth seeing for men, women and children. Up to last Saturday eight hun- dred and forty Freshmen had been en- rolled at State College and the total attendance was a little in excess of two thousand. This is considered very good by the faculty, owing to the fact that such a large per cent. of the two upper classes has enlisted for service in the war. This latter fact, however, cut in heavily on the football materi- al, as only a few of last year’s *Varsi- ty squad are back, but at that coach Harlow has hopes of rounding out a good team. ——Earl Orr, Fred W. Witmer and Ivan Walker left yesterday for Rock Island, Ill., in response to an order of the War Department assigning them to service in the ordnance department of the United States army. Russell Foster, Harold Williams, H. Hurwitz and Donald Strunk, of State College, left on Wednesday for the same post. The seven young men were members of Prof. Deemer’s class who took a course in storeskeeping at State Col- lege in July. The departure of Orr and Witmer leaves two vacancies in the clerical force at the Bellefonte Trust company. ——DMen are now at work making repairs on the steam heat pipes on the streets so as to have them in shape for starting the plant next Monday, October first. There seems to be a wrong impression abroad as to the price that will be charged for heat by the new company. When the old com- pany began the season last year they started at the price charged the year before. Later they increased the rate thirty per cent. Afterwards it was doubled by the citizens committee. The price to be charged this year is forty per cent. on the price of two years ago which will be only about one-half, or a little less than one-half the price charged by the citizens com- mittee. CENTRE COUNTY VETERANS. Large Crowd Attended Their Annual Reunion Last Saturday. The forty-fourth annual reunion of the Centre County Veteran club was held at Pine Grove Mills last Satur- day. Although a little cool the day was an ideal one for such a gathering and quite a large crowd was in at- tendance, although the fact is becom- ing more pronounced every year that the ranks of the old soldiers are thin- ning out quite rapidly. Of the three hundred original members of the Vet- eran club only fifty are now living, though the ranks have been kept up by new recruits during the intervening years since its organization. At 10.30 o’clock John Hamilton, president of the club, called the mem- bers to attention and prayer was offer- ed by Rev. S. C. Stover. This was followed by the roll call and payment of dues. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting Rev. L. N. Fleck was introduced and made a pa- triotic and pathetic address, paying special tribute to those men of slow steps, gray locks and empty sleeves, eloquent marks of the faithful service they rendered their country in its time of need. . The auditor’s report as presented by A. V. Miller and D. W. Miller gave a detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures for the past twenty-one years, and showed a balance in the treasury of $40.59. A motion was passed reducing the annual member- ship dues to 25 cents, and as the dues are now so nominal all G. A. R. men are urged to enroll. W. H. Bartholomew was appointed chairman of the committee to select a place for next year’s meeting, Thom- as A. Snyder chairman of the commit- tee to nominate officers, and S. B. Mil- ler chairman of the committee on res- olutions. Adjournment was then tak- en for dinner and as this was a basket affair prepared by the ladies in at- tendance, a regular charge was made upon it by the old soldiers. One of the dainties worthy of special mention was a large cake in the centre of the table which was decorated with forty- eight silk flags, representing all the States in the Union. Free coffee was served to all. By the time the inner man had been satisfied the crowd had swelled considerably and comrade Hamilton made a brief address of wel- come. The crowd was then favored with music by the Citizens band of Ferguson township. The reports of committees being in order Mr. Bartholomew reported in favor of Bellefonte as the place for holding the reunion next year, and the report was accepted. Mr. Snyder for the committee on nominations reported as follows: President, John Hamilton; first vice president, Henry Meyer; second vice president, S. B. Miller; secretary, W. H. Fry; treasurer, George M. Boal, all of whom were unanimously elected. Mr. Miller reported resolutions of thanks to all those who in any way contributed to the success of the gathering, as well as a resolution in loving remembrance of those who have passed away. Addresses were then made by Rev. S. C. Stover, Rev. L. V. Barber, J. L. Holmes and Col. H. S. Taylor. Miss Catharine Graham gave a splendid re- cital of “Your Flag, My Flag.” A vote of thanks was extended the la- dies for their good dinner and with the band playing “America” the old soldiers adjourned to meet at the call of the president. The following members were pres- ent and answered the roll call: John Hamilton, First Penna. Cavalry. Thomas Snyder, First Penna. Cavalry. J. W. Sunday, Co. B, 148th Regt. tobert Henderson, Co. A, 148th Regt. Lewis Thomas, Co. D, 149th Regt. M. M. Garven, 153rd Illinois. John Q. Miles, Co. I, 84th Regt. J. H. Miller, Co. D, 148th Regt. James Knox, Co. C, 148th Regt. George 8. Kaup, Co.

Fortney, William Grenoble, W. B. Shirk, Hiram Thompson, Thomas McCafferty, William Burnett, James I. Thompson, Ez- ra Smith, H. H. Montgomery, Lemuel Clark, C. C. Rumberger, W. A. Ishler, John Houck, Israel Young, George Kuhn, C. B. Hess and Armstrong Bailey. U. B. Church Appointments. The Allegheny conference of the United Brethren church came to a close in Johnstown on Sunday even- ing with the announcement of the ap- pointments. J. S. Fulton was reap- pointed conference superintendent of the Altoona district. C. W.
