-FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON.
Wednesday’s Weather Was a Record
Breaker for This Time of Year.
While “the oldest citizen” might
recall something similar the average
person admits that Wednesday's
weather was a record breaker. Rain
began falling early Tuesday night
and later it turned to sleet and snow
and Wednesday morning residents of
Bellefonte were treated to a sight of
white-capped mountains in the neigh-
borhood of Point McCoy. But Belle-
fonte was not to be compared to oth-
er places in the county.
Out at Snow Shoe the ground was
covered to a depth of three inches
and notwithstanding the fact that it
was but the 24th day of October
snow shovels were called into use to
shovel the snow from the pavements.
Up at Benore and through the Bar-
rens there was an inch and a half to
two inches of snow.
Rain and snow fell intermittently
all day on Wednesday and out beyond
Clarence it reached a.depth of seven
inches and a bunch of mining engi-
neers from State College, who were
out there opening up a mine for
Charles Reese had to quit work and
come home for heavier clothing.
A terrific storm swept over State
College about five o’clock in the even-
ing when the snow fell so fast that it
was almost impossible to see around,
and a depth of four inches was record-
ed. Through all the mountainous
sections of the central part of the
State snow-falls of various depths
were reported.
Of course most of it melted as it
fell in the valleys but all the moun-
tains were covered with a mantle of
white yesterday morning, but it melt-
ed away during the day with the
slight moderation of temperature
which followed the stormy period.
Four Men Sent to the Penitentiary.
In an open session of court on Mon-
day morning four men plead guilty
to various crimes and were sentenced
to the penitentiary by Judge Henry
C. Quigley.
The men were James Hand and
Harry Meese, of Sandy Ridge, charg-
ed with the robbery of Stuart’s store.
The sentence imposed on both was
for a term of not less than thre
years nor more than five. :
Robert Brown, colored, charged
with larceny and who a few weeks
ago had been paroled in the custody
of Charles Morris, then broke his pa-
role, was given a sentence of from
one to two years.
The fourth man sentenced was Da-
vid Hummell, one of the prisoners
who escaped from the penitentiary
last Thursday afternoon. Hummell
was caught on Saturday afternoon on
. the Bald Eagle mountain south of
Unionville by J. C. Fox, a school
teacher, and H. I. Stere. Fox had
gone hunting on the mountain and
discovered Hummell and Peter Hart-
man the other escaped prisoner in an
old cabin, where they had built a fire
to warm up at. Fox was a little ap-
prehensive of tackling the prisoners
alone so went back to Unionville and
telephoned the penitentiary as to the
whereabouts of the prisoners. He
then induced H. I. Stere to go with
him and the two men went back up
the mountain to the cabin.
Approaching the cabin Fox called
to the men to come out and they did
so. Hummell began to parley with
the men to leave them go and while
doing so Hartman edged around the
cabin and made a break for liberty.
He ran into a wire fence and Fox
called to him to stop but he did not
heed the command. Freeing himself
from the fence Hartman made anoth-
er dash and escaped in the under-
brush. Fox and Stere took Hummell
down to the main road where they
were met by penitentiary guards who
brought Hummell to the Centre coun-
ty jail.
On Monday morning he plead guil-
ty to escape and was sentenced to
serve out his old term and an addi-
tional term of equal length, which is
from one year and two months to one
year and four months.
The four men were taken to Pitts-
burgh on Tuesday morning by Sher-
iff George H. Yarnell, chief of police
Harry Dukeman, Horace W. Musser
and H. W. Irivin.
Women Engaged in
Bonds.
Suffragists throughout the county
are working under a Woman’s com-
mittee to sell Liberty Bonds.
You can help in this work by tak-
ing bonds yourself, by trying to influ-
ence others to take them, and by
helping the wage worker to buy on
the installment plan, or better, by
lending the money to be repaid to
you over a longer period than the
banks allow.
Whatever work you do will you
kindly report it to me, as we are anx-
ious to know what suffragists contrib-
ute to this part of the war work.

Chairman W. S. P., Centre County.

Opening Day of Hunting Season
Yielded Poer Returns.
Notwithstanding the fact that con-
ditions were quite favorable the
opening day of the hunting season
yielded poor returns to those who
braved the damp woods and fields.
In fact the writer does not recall an
opening day in years when so few
squirrel and pheasants were bagged
and brought to Bellefonte. So far as
we have been able to learn just one
squirrel and one wild duck were ex-
hibited on the streets of Bellefonte
last Saturday evening and the man
who had those was a stranger.
Down Hublersburg way a few
squirrel were bagged, the most suc-
cessful hunter being Fred Yarnell, a
son of Sheriff Yarnell. Out in the
Snow Shoe region very few hunters
were out for the opening day and in
consequence little game was gotten.
The Snow Shoe crowd, however, went
into camp on Monday and when they
return home will likely have their
share of the game in the woods.
Reports from all over the county
concur in the fact that squirrel are
very scarce so far, due no doubt to
the short crop of nuts. Of course,
being of a migratory nature they may
become more plentiful later. It is
quite evident, though, that pheasants
are not as plentiful as they should be
for good hunting. The wet, cold sea-
son early in the summer was evident-
ly hard on the young birds and the
crop has been, in consequence, small-
er than usual, so that the hunter who
is able to get his limit in a day will
be lucky indeed.

State College Announces Annual
Farmers’ Week.
The Pennsylvania State College
school of agriculture and experiment
station calls attention to its annual
Farmers’ week which this year will
cover a period of four days, from
Wednesday, December 26th, to Satur-
day, December 29th, inclusive.
In past years the practice has been
to continue the Farmers’ week ses-
sions for a full week. Although the
period has been shortened this year
an effort is being made to pack a
large amount of practical informa-
tion into four days. As usual, speak-
ers and demonstrators representing
all lines of practical and institutional
work and every phase of agriculture
will present the program.
Programs will probably be ready
for distribution early in November.
Savage Injured Auto
Accident.
Ex-Judge Clinton R. Savage, of
Sunbury, with his wife and son, were
victims . of an automobile accident
early on Sunday night when their car
was struck by a motor truck on the
road between Harrisburg and Carlisle,
the Savage car overturning and pin-
ning the occupants beneath it. All
the members of the party received
cuts and bruises but no broken bones.
It was at first feared Mrs. Savage
and her son might be injured inter-
nally. Judge Savage is well known
in Bellefonte and his friends here
hope the injuries of he and his fami-
ly will not prove serious.
State Fire Marshall Killed in Auto
Accident.
State Fire Marshall Thomas G.
Ryan and Harry Swank, of Danville,
were instantly killed last Friday and
Harry Cromwell was badly injured
when the latter’s high powered car
went over an embankment and hurled
the occupants onto the tracks of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad. Ryan was fairly well known
in Bellefonte having worked on sever-
al fire cases here in the last several
years.

——To see him going so diligently
about his work of raising trout at the
Bellefonte fish hatchery one would not
take W. F. Haas with being overbur-
dened with a saving grace of humor,
yet when a Bellefonte young man
asked him on Monday why he had
boards over the fish ponds he told him
“for the fish to get under when it
rains,” and the Bellefonte young man
is still wondering if he was in earn-
est.

John S. Crandell, of New York city,
and Miss Kathryn Foster, a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Philip D. Foster, of
State College, which took place in the
Presbyterian church at State College
at six o’clock last Wednesday even-
ing, was quite a brilliant social event.
Many invitations had been issued and
a large congregation witnessed the
ceremony, which was performed by
the bride’s pastor, Rev. Samuel Mar-
tin. Miss Foster, who was given in
marriage by her father, wore a gown
of white charmeuse beaded in pearls,
with a flowing veil of tulle fastened
with orange blossoms. She carried a
bouquet of white roses and lillies of
the valley. Her maid of honor was
her sister, Miss Helen Foster, and her
bridesmaids Miss Elizabeth Foster,
of State College, and Mrs. Fred J.
Holben, of Harrisburg. They were
dressed in autumn-colored gowns and
carried bouquets of tea roses. The
best man was Dr. Horace G. Keith, of
Yonkers, N. Y. The fact that the
brother of the bride as well as all her
male cousins have been summoned
for service was excuse for having a
“war vedding” and the ushers were
four young lady friends of the bride,
namely: Misses Juliet Grazier, Ruth
Meek and Mary Lytle, of State Col-
lege, and Mary Warfield, of Belle-
fonte, all of whom were dressed in
pure white.
In keeping with the patriotic spirit
of the wedding a large American flag
furnished the centre of decorations in
the church which were of spruce,
rhododendron and autumn leaves.
Similar decorations prevailed at the
house where a reception was tender-
ed the young couple immediately fol-
lowing the ceremony. About one hun-
dred and fifty guests attended the re-
ception and refreshments were serv-
ed by caterer Achenbach, of Lock Ha-
ven. The musical program at the
church was very elaborate and includ-
ed a wedding march specially written
by Victor Lecoq, an intimate friend of
the bridegroom.
Mr. Crandell was formerly assist-
ant professor of civil engineering at
the college but is now consulting en-
gineer for the Barrett company in
New York city where they will make
their home upon return from their
wedding trip which will include a visit
to Camp Grant, Ill, to see the bride’s
brother, Harold D. Foster, who is now
in an officers’ training camp at that
place.
Many out of town guests were
present including these from Belle-
fonte: Mrs. G. Fred Musser, Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Hazel and Mr. and Mrs.
J. Will Conley.
Flagg—Swope.—A wedding that
will be of interest to many readers of
the “Watchman” was that of Harold
Vincent Flagg, of State College, and
Miss Frances Margaret Swope, of
Caldwell, Clinton county, the ceremo-
ny taking place at three o’clock on
Tuesday afternoon at the home of the
bride’s sister, Mrs. Scott Williams, in
Lock Haven. The officiating minister
was Rev. Mr. Brucke, of the Lutheran
church, the double ring service being
used. The only guests present were
members of the two families.
~The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Bell Swope and is a graduate
nurse of the Bellefonte hospital, class
of 1912. After her graduation she
spent some time in Bellefonte on pri-
vate cases. The bridegroom is a son
of Mrs. Eva Flagg, of State College,
but formerly of Oil City. He gradu-
ated in metalurgical engineering at
the college in the class of 1915 and
since then has held a good position in
one of the steel mills at Youngstown,
Ohio. The young couple left for that
city on Wednesday where they will
live until Mr. Flagg, who is one of
the registrants for the national army,
is called for service.
Johnson—Dinges.—On Tuesday af-
ternoon Theodore A. Johnson and
Miss Ethel E. Dinges, both of Peale,
came to Bellefonte and securing a
marriage license at the Register’s of-
fice telephoned Rev. Walter Fay Car-
son that they wanted to be married in
the court house. That gentleman
quickly responded and Register
‘Frank Sasserman escorted the pair to
the library, while most of the officials
in the court house gathered as wit-
nesses. The bride donned a large veil
and Rev. Carson soon made the two
man and wife.
While Rev. Carson was making out
the marriage certificate the young la-
dies employed in the court house se-
cured a supply of tin horns and as the
couple descended the rear stairway
and started out through the corrider
they gave them a real, old-fashioned
serenade, much to the discomfiture of
the bride. The bridegroom, however,
took the affair good naturedly and
gave the young ladies a dollar with
which to buy candy. And not to be
outdone by the bridegroom Rev. Car-
son also gave the ladies a dollar for
more candy.
VanValin—Davis.—Forest DeLore
VanValin, a son of the late Waldo V.
VanValin, of Unionville, and Miss

the employ of the Pennsylvania rail-
road and after an extended wedding
trip Mr. and Mrs. VanValin will take
up their residence at Chevy Chase.

George D. Benn, president of the
First National bank, of Coalport.
About thirty-five guests were pres-
ent to witness the ceremony which:

was served and in the afternoon Mr.
and Mrs. Benn left in an automobile
for their future home in Coalport.
Farrow—Wetzel.—The home of
Mrs. H. M. Wetzel, on South Thomas
street, was the scene of a pretty wed-
ding on Wednesday afternoon when
her daughter, Miss Helen M. Wetzel,
was united in marriage to Thomas
Farrow, of Algonquin, W. Va. Only
a few intimate friends were present to
witness the ceremony which took
place at two o’clock and which was
performed by Rev. Dr. Ambrose M.
Schmidt. Preceding the ceremony a
wedding breakfast was served at elev-
en o'clock. Immediately following the
ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Farrow left
for their already furnished home in
Algonquin. During the few years
that the bride has been a resident of
Bellefonte she made many warm per-
sonal friends and all join in wishing
her years of happiness and success.

of mines at Algonquin and is an en-
terprising and progressive young
man.
