For the first time in months every member of borough council was pres- ent at the regular meeting on Monday evening and the atmosphere seemed charged with a gravity of apprehen- sion that sort of presaged a very im- portant session, and naturally the “Watchman” reporter anticipated an interesting article for this week’s pa- per, but the gravity in the atmos- phere cleared away like mist before the summer sun and the session was one of the shortest and most uninter- esting of any held in weeks. Here are the proceedings in a nutshell: Secretary W. T. Kelly presented the statement of the State-Centre Electric company for pumping water to November 1st, and other incident- als, amounting to $1,924.64. Refer- red to Water and Special commit- tees by the president. Street committee reported new pavement put down at the Julia Kel- ley property on Logan street.

Many fire- plugs also need repairing before win- ter sets in. Fire and Police committee report- ed fire at the Twitmire house on south Water street on October 25th. Finance committee reported a bal- ance in the treasury November first of $792.22. : : Special committee reported “pro- gress.” Bills amounting to $1,361.80 were approved and council adjourned. er : Motz—Smith.—A wedding that will be of interest to “Watchman” read- ers was that in Akron, Ohio, on Wed- nesday evening of last week, of George D. Motz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl D. Motz, of Woodward, this county, and Miss Isabel Smith, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James K. Smith, of Akron. The wedding took place in the Calvary Evangelical church in the presence of a large number of invited guests. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. E. Rad- ebaugh, pastor of the church. The attendants were Mrs. Henry Mingle, matron of honor; Miss Mar- jan Smith and Miss Ruth Nichol, bridesmaids; Alger Smith and Harry Walters, groomsmen, with a comple- ment of ribbon bearers, flower girls and ring bearer. The ushers were James Smith, of Agron; Roy Musser, of Woodward; Henry Mingle, of Aaronsburg; Roland Weaver, of Lock Haven, and Edwin Long, of Milton.

Last spring when seed potatoes were so very scare that they literal- ly sold at a premium Commissioners’ clerk Harry N. Meyer furnished Syl- vanus Lucus, of Union township, with two bushels of seed, agreeing to take a certain share of the potatoes this fall in payment therefore. On Tuesday Mr. Lucas came to Bellefonte with eleven bushels of po- tatoes for Mr. Meyer as his share of the crop. Tuesday being election day, it was also a holiday in the commis- sioners’ office and Mr. Meyer took ad- vantage of this fact to go on an auto- mobile trip to Altoona with Mrs. Meyer and several friends. Natural- ly, then, when Mr. Lucas arrived with the potatoes he did not find any one at home, so went to the court house to make inquiry for him. Several of the members of the court house ring happened to be around and they informed Mr. Lucas that Mr. Meyer had gone away and suggested leaving the potatoes on the porch. But that gentleman did not like the suggestion as he was afraid the potatoes would freeze. Another member then suggested storing them in the upper rear corridor of the court house and this struck Mr. Lucas as a favorable place, so he began to car- ry them in. Finally another member of the ring suggested that if he would pour them down the coal chute into the cellar they surely would not freeze, and without a word Mr. Lucas carried one bag around and dumped it into the coal bin. He was then advised to store the rest in the court house corridor, and after carrying them all in he asked the gentlemen present to tell Mr. Meyer to send the bags up as soon as possible as he needed them. “Empty the potatoes in the cor- ner,” said a member of the ring, “and take the bags along.” “Won’t it make too much dirt?” asked Lucas. “Qh, no,” chorused the court house ring. “We've got two janitors here and they can easily clean it up.” And with this cheering news Mr. Lucas dumped the potatoes on the marble floor just back of the door leading into the judge’s chambers and taking his bags smilingly walked away. 2 Up to this writing, however, the C. H. R. has had no opportunity to enjoy their “little joke” at Mr. Mey- er’s expense, as he got the potatoes out of the court house early Wednes- day morning before any of the ring was around, even if he did have to labor a little strenuously to do it. Death of Jerry (Horse) Potter. Having served his masters faith- fully and well the past twenty-six years the Potter-Hoy Hardware com- pany’s horse, Jerry, fell on the state road near Milesburg last Friday and was put out of of its misery and sent to horse heaven at the same time via the gun route. The carcass was bur- ied the same day in the phosphoric vats in the foothills of the Allegheny mountains north of Milesburg in or- der to avoid the fate of his mate which, being chloroformed two month’s ago, was decently buried, on- ly to be disinterred within two days and the hide taken for tanning pur- poses. Jerry horse had been in the Potter family eleven years. Sunday School Mid-Year Conference. The Centre county Sunday school association will hold a mid-year con- ference in the Presbyterian chapel, Bellefonte, Friday, November 16th, when all the superintendents, pastors and workers are requested to be pres- ent that they may be better prepared to keep up to the pressing needs of the bible school work.

The next meeting, which was to have been at Mrs. Barnhart’s, on west Linn street, next week, has been postponed on account of teacher’s institute until a week later. gai eto —Last week we mentioned the fact that Joseph L. Runkle had gone to the new penitentiary as a guard, but we were misinformed.

U. S. SOLDIERS IN FIRST FIGHT. Surprised in Trench by Germans They Put Up Gallant Resistance. With the American Army in tachment of American was attacked in the front line trench- es early Saturday morning by a much superior force” of German shock troops. The Americans were cut off from relief by the heavy barrage in their rear. They fought gallantly un- til overwhelmed by superior numbers. The fighting in the trenches was hand-to-hand. It was brief and fierce in the extreme. As a result of the encounter, three Americans were killed and five wounded. A sergeant and corporal and ten men were taken prisoners. Two French soldiers, who were in the trenches also were killed. The enemy lost some men, but the num- ber is unknown, as their dead and wounded were carried off by the re- tiring Germans. From the beginning of the engage- ment until the end the Americans lived up to all the traditions of the American army, the records showing the bravery of the detachment and of individual members. The German raid on the American trench was carried out against mem- bers of the second contingent enter- ing the trenches for training. These men had only been in a few days. Be- fore dawn Saturday the Germans be- gan shelling vigorously the barbed wire front of the trenches, dropping many high explosives of large cali- bre. A heavy artillery fire was then directed so as to cover all the adja- cent territory, including the passage leading up to the trenches, thereby forming a most effective barrage in the rear as well as in the front. The young lieutenant in charge of the detachment of Americans started back to the communicating trenches to his immediate superior for orders. The barrage knocked him down, but he picked himself up and started off again. He was knocked down a sec- ond time, but, determined to reach his objective, got up again. A third time he was knocked down and badly shell- shocked and put out of action. . Soon after that Germans to the number, according to the report, of 9210 rushed through the breaches and wire entanglements on each side of the salient, their general objective barrage in the forefield having lifted for a moment. The Germans went in- to the trenches at several points. They met with stout resistance. Pistols, grenades, knives and bayonets were freely used. For many minutes there was con- siderable confusion in the trenches, the Germans stalking the Americans Louis Dammers Philadelphia Eyesight Specialist, ONE DAY ONLY BELLEFONTE, PA.

Lancaster Allentown Altoona 62-44-2t and the Americans stalking the Ger- mans. In one section of the trench, an American private engaged two Germans with the bayonet. That was the last seen of him until after the raid, when a dead American was France, November 5.—A small de-. found on the spot. Another was kill- infantrymen | ed by a blow on the head with a rifle butt from above. Some of the Americans apparently at the beginning of the attack did not realize just what was going on. One of the wounded, a private, said: “I was standing in a communicating trench waiting for orders. I heard a noise back of me and looked around in time to see a German fire in my direction. I felt a bullet hit my arm.” The Germans left the trench as soon as possible, taking their dead and wounded with them. An inspection showed, however, that they had abandoned three rifles, a number of knives and helmets. The raid was evidently carefully planned, and American officers admit that it was well executed. As a raid, however, there was nothing unusual about it. It was such as is happen- ing all along the line. There is rea- son for believing that the Germans were greatly surprised when they found Americans in the trenches in- stead of the French. The French general in command of the division, of which the American detachment formed a part, expressed extreme sat- isfaction at the action of the Amer- The Big HARVEY D.
