Borough Council Proceedings.
Six members were in attendance at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil on Monday evening. James R.
Hughes was present and explained to
council the fact that his heating plant
is hemmed in on all sides and
though he has endeavored to purchase
an outlet he has been unable to do
so, hence his appeal to council to open
an alley along the line connecting the
Friends’ church property with that of
the Miller garage property. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee, borough engineer and bor-
ough solicitor for investigation and
report.
William Steele Jr. was present and
asked exoneration of water taxes on
the Steele properties Nos. 27 and 29,
also a shop on Pine street, as they
have all been vacant about thirteen
months. The matter was referred to
the Water committee.
A letter was received from the
American Defense League requesting
council to take some action favorable
to enforcing the law against pro-Ger-
man propagandists, and the matter
was referred to the borough solicitor.
Mr. Harris, of the Street commit-
tee, reported that a new floor was be-
ing put upon the Lamb street bridge,
and asked permission to creosote the
plank after they are down as a
means of preservation.
Mr. Seibert, of the Water commit-
tee, reported that the borough’s por-
‘tion of the pipe line out Pine street
for the Titan Metal company had been
completed. He also brought up the
question of the water tax duplicates,
and advocated getting some person
to collect them. After considerable
discussion pro and con the clerk was
instructed to turn the duplicates over
to the State-Centre company for col-
lection.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $10.40
for fines and licenses collected.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
which showed a balance in the treas-
ury on December 1st of $4,633.97.
He further reported that the last
floating note had been lifted and
made a motion that the treasurer be
authorized to place $2,000 in the
sinking fund, which was authorized.
' Mr. Harris reported to council that
on Saturday the big steam roller got
beyond control of the engineer, as he
was coming down High street, owing
to a loose pin, and to avoid an acci-
dent on the street, the engineer ditch-
ed the big machine in front of the
Garman property with the result that
it ran up on the pavement, smashing
the curb and crushing one or two
blocks of the pavement, all of which
will be repaired in due time.
Mr. Harris also stated that the Ti-
tan Metal company wanted the use of
the roller to roll the floor in their new
plant at the Nittany furnace site and
permission was given on condition
that the roller is in charge of the
Street committee.
President Walker announced that a
deed for the Pruner property in Ty-
rone had been properly executed and
approved by the court, and presented
a declaration of trust from Mr. J. S.
Ginter regarding the same.
Mr. Flack introduced a resolution
that council pay the interest on the
mortgage on the Undine fire compa-
ny’s building, amounting to $125, and
the same was passed.
Bills to the amount of $1,099.92
were approved and council adjourned.
More Workers Needed.
The Red Cross has received a large
special order for surgical dressings,
for the French hospital, that must be
completed this month and in order to
do this we need more workers.
The work rooms in Petrikin hall
will be open on Friday afternoon and
evening of this week and it is hoped
that as many women as possibly can
do so, will be there at that time to as-
sist in the work. If you can’t give
the entire afternoon or evening, go
for one hour and don’t let the lack of
a uniform keep you away; take a big
clean apron of any kind, and a linen
handkerchief to cover your head.
It is probable that the work rooms
will be open each day this month, but
further notice of work days will be
given on Friday.
Go, and take your neighbors.
are needed and welcome.

A YOUNG HUNTER SHOT.
i
! From Severed Artery in His
Left Leg.
Centre county had its first fatal
‘hunting accident of the season on
‘Monday afternoon when George
Shive, the nineteen year old son of Mr.
cand Mrs. E. A. Shive, of Clarence,
was shot in the left leg by an un-
| known hunter while hunting on Yost
| run, and bled to death in the arms of
"his brother Harry because the latter
had no first aid means of stopping the
flow of blood from the main artery,
which had been completely severed.
© The Shive brothers were members
of a hunting party of eight encamped
con Field’s run, some fifteen miles
back in the mountains from Clarence.
Shortly after the noon hour on Mon-
“day they started to make a drive on
: Yost run, and the two boys were walk-
ing up an old road to cover a cross-
ling. They noticed a man some fifty
'yards away but as he was a stranger
‘they paid no particular attention to
{him. They had gone a very short
{ distance, however, when there was a
| shot and young Shive fell to the
ground. His brother at once sprang
!to his side and realizing that he had
| been shot called loudly for assistance.
| Other members of the party came to
| the young man’s aid and when they
discovered that the shot was in the
‘fleshy part of the left leg they had no
idea it was at all serious, although a
man was dispatched immediately for
the Boak camp several miles away
| from where word was telephoned to
County Treasurer David Cham-
‘bers, at Clarence, asking him to get
a doctor and go out after the young
‘man.
In the meantime the wound bled
| profusely and to stop it his compan-
ions fixed a tournequet above the
‘wound. It stopped the flow of blood
land would probably have saved the
| vietim’s life, but it hurt him so that
{he demanded its removal, which was
done and he bled to death in the
| arms of his brother. It is not certain
| that the stranger seen by the Shive
! boys was the man who fired the shot,
| but he did not respond to Harry
| Shive’s call for help.
{ In the meantime Mr. Chambers se-
| cured a doctor as quickly as possible
and drove out to the camp, but as it
!was simply a drive through the
| woods in his automobile he did not
| reach there until after six o’clock, but
! Shive had then been dead over four
| hours. As there was nothing else to
ido he took the remains along back to
| Clarence. :
! The unfortunate young man 1s sur-
| vived by his parents, two brothers
and three sisters, as follows: Mar-
garet, Emma, who was married last
week to Francis McGowan; Harry,
Robert and Dorothy. He was a faith-
ful member of the Catholic church
and a young man who stood high in
the estimation of all who knew him.
The funeral will be held at ten o’clock
this morning, burial to be made in the
Catholic cemetery at Snow Shoe.

| Bled to Death in His Brother's Arms |
| Hunter Shot Deer With Horn Which
Proved a Doe.
On Tuesday morning Harry Mil-
lard, a member of a hunting party
rom Lebanon county, encamped near
Colyer, was standing on a watch when
a big deer stepped out in the road on-
ly about thirty steps away and stop-
ped. Mr. Millard plainly saw one
horn showing above the hair and of
course took it for a spike buck. It
was an easy shot and he pulled up and
shot it through the neck. The deer
dropped dead and when he went to
take a look at it, he discovered it was
a doe with one horn.
A consultation of the hunting party
was held and the result was Mr. Mil-
lard went to the nearest telephone and
called up district attorney James C.
Furst. That gentleman advised
bringing the deer to Bellefonte and
then he would see what could be done.
Consequently securing an automobile
Mr. Millard and H. M. Hartz, of Pal-
myra, the captain of the club, brought
the deer to Bellefonte and took it to
Beezer’s- butcher shop. Mr. Furst ex-
amined the deer and found one horn
just about two inches long.
Not knowing what to do himself he
called up Dr. Kalbfus, at Harrisburg,
and after explaining the situation was
authorized to return the deer to the
hunting party and exonerate them of
all blame. Mr. Furst so notified the
men but they then very generously
donated the meat to the Bellefonte
hospital, taking the hide and head
themselves, after Mr. Furst had giv-
en them a certificate exonerating
Cig from all liability for killing the
eer.

Women Welcome at
Ww. C. A.
Newspapers in Pennsylvania can
co-operate with the folks at home and
assist them greatly when they come
to Augusta if they clip the following
item of information. Please run it in
your next issue. Many women come
to Augusta and know not where to go
while waiting for their sons. In many
cases, the men do not know where to
leave their mothers, sisters and wives
while rooms are being found for them.
On’ Tuesday of this week the editor of
Trench and Camp saw four Pennsyl-
vania women sitting on the stone
steps of the Lamar building, tired out
with their long journey, waiting pa-
tiently for their sons to return from
hunting rooms for them.
Women from Pennsylvania who
visit their sons and husbands at
Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., will
find very attractive rooms fitted up
for their comfort by the Young Wom-
en’s Christian Association of Augus-
ta. The rooms are on the second
floor of the Lamar building in the
heart of the city. Competent young
women are in charge and every cour-
tesy will be shown visiting women.
Rooms will be secured for those de-
siring them, or women may use the
rest rooms at their convenience. It
would be a good plan to write to the
Y. W. C. A. in advance, asking the
secretary to provide rooms for you at
a definite time, thus saving yourself
considerable worry and annoyance.
