Interesting Incidents of the Soldier
Boys.
"Second Lieut. Harry W. Shreffler
arrived home from Bronwsville, Tex.,
last Friday, having received his dis-
charge from provisional service dur-
ing the period of the war. He has
made application, however, for a com-
mission in the regular army and has
hopes of getting same in the near fu-
ture. Lieut. Shreffler went into the
service as top sergeant of Troop L
and went ‘with that organization to
Camp Hancock. When the cavalry
was disbanded Sergt. Shreffler was
sent to Brownsville, Tex., where he
was assigned to training cavalry
units. It was while in service there
that he won his commission, but as
his period of enlistment was provis-
ional on the duration of the war he
was recently given his discharge. But
he likes army life and at once made
application for a commission in the
regular army. While waiting for that
commission, or a decision regarding
it, he will not remain idle, but will
leave next Monday for Oklahoma
where he will work at a large oil re-
finery. He will take with him his
son Earl, the rest of his family antic-
ipating joining him a little later.
A young attorney of Mercer, who
was incapacitated from active service
at the front, joined the Y. M. C. A,,
was with the Pennsylvania troops at
Camp Hancock and went across with
that division last summer. In France
he was located very close to Company
‘A of the 107th machine gun battalion,
which was none other than the old
Boal troop of Centre county. Since
his return home he has been loud in
his praise of Company A, stating that
in all his experience he did not meet
a finer bunch of young men than were
in this company from Centre county.
He made the acquaintance of many of
the boys and spoke of Lieut. Philip C.
Shoemaker: and others, but became
particularly intimate with Sergt.
Charles Cruse, of Bellefonte, whom he
characterized as a good officer, a
splendid soldier and a most genial fel-
low in every way. In fact he was
quite enthusiastic over the soldierly
qualities of the entire company.
Lieut. Edmund P. Hayes was in
Bellefonte part of Monday and Tues-
day, having stopped here on his way
back to Camp Gordon, Va., from his
home at Joliet, Ill.,, where he spent a
month’s furlough while recuperating
from a slight illness. Liuet. Hayes
anticipates being discharged from his
provisional service in the U. S. army
in the near future..
Jim Lawler, Alias Showalter, Elec-
trocuted in Kentucky.
Pennsylvania railroad police have
received information that Jim Law-
ler, the lone bandit who several years
ago held up a Pennsylvania railroad
train in the Lewistown Narrows and
robbed the express car of $63 in new
Lincoln pennies, had been electrocuted
in Kentucky for a murder committed
at Covington, in that State.
Lawler, who was born in Clayton
county, Mo., and who frequently made
it his boast that as a boy he carried
messages for the James brothers, first
came into notoriety in this section
when he led a gang of postoffice rob-
bers through Centre county about the
year 1907 and after robbing the post-
office at Linden Hall took refuge in
the old Foust barn on the Seven moun-
tains. There they were surrounded
by a posse in charge of Col. H. S. Tay-
lor, then sheriff of Centre county, and
in an exchange of shots Lawler, or
Showalter as he gave his name, was
shot through the neck by one of the
sheriff’s crowd. The crowd was cap-
tured and brought to Bellefonte, Sho-
walter spending some time in the
Bellefonte hospital.
Later they were all taken to Scran-
ton for trial in the United States dis-
trict court and being convicted Sho-
walter was sent to the federal prison
at Atlanta for a period of six years.
He had been out of the prison only a
brief period when he single-handed
held up the train in the Lewistown
Narrows. He never was caught and
naturally escaped punishment for that
act. If the report is correct that he
has been electrocuted in Kentucky it
will simply be a case of a man get-
ting his just deserts.
Miss Margaret E. Grove, of
Bloomsburg, who is a member of the
Junior class at The Pennsylvania
State College, has been elected treas-
urer of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet at
Penn State. The women students at
State College are virtually all enroll-
ed in the organization, which is a
leading factor in the religious and so-
cial life of the institution. Miss Grove
is studying home economics.

i CURRY.— The very distressing |
news was received in Bellefonte yes-
| terday morning of the death of Mrs.
i Nettie Cook Cu.ry, wife of Benjamin
i R. Curry, of Aspinwall, near Pitts-
! burgh, which occurred at an early
hour yesterday morning. Two weeks
"ago on Tuesday she gave birth to a
little son and had so far recovered
that she was considering leaving the
{ hospital when intestinal trouble de-
| veloped which caused her death. Her
father, Mr. Charles F. Cook, was no-
tified of her serious condition on Tues-
day and at once went to Pittsburgh
and remained with her until the end.
Mrs. Curry was a daughter of
Charles F. and Abbie Rankin Cook
and was born in Beilefonte thirty-two
years ago last June. She was edu-
| cated at the public schools of Belle-
fonte and State College, graduating
at the latter institution with the class
of 1907. In August, 1908, she was
united in marriage to Benjamin R.
Curry, of Slippery Rock, Pa., a grad-
uate of State College in the class of
1905. Shortly after their marriage
they took up their residence at Wood-
lawn where Mr. Curry was chemist
for the Jones—Laughlin Steel Co.
About four years ago they went to
Florida intending to embark in the
fruit growing business but after a
year there returned to Pennsylvania
and located at Aspinwall where Mr.
Curry is assistant general manager
for the Heppenstall Forge and Knife
Co. Mrs. Curry has been a member
of the Presbyterian church all her life
and was a young woman of such en-
dearing qualities that the news of her
death was a great shock to her many
friends.
Surviving her are her husband, two
children, William aged 9 years, and
her infant boy; her father, of Belle-
fonte; and the following brothers and
sisters: Miss Anna, of Bellefonte;
Harris, of Pittsburgh; Joseph, of
Cleveland, Ohio; Miss Abbie, a train-
ed nurse of Ridgway, Col., but who
was with Mrs. Curry through her ill-
ness and death; Miss Elinor, now on
her way to Turkey as a teacher in re-
construction work; and Marshall, a
soldier in France.
Miss Anna Cook went to Pittsburgh
yesterday afternoon for the funeral
which will be held at three o’clock
this afternoon, burial to be made in
that place.

ty-eight hours their daughter Marion

Gregg Post Celebrated Washington's
Birthday.
The members of Gregg Post held a
meeting in their rooms at 2:30 o’clock
last Saturday afternoon in celebration
of Washington’s birthday. While the
attendance in general was not as large
as it should have been there was a
very good turnout of old veterans,
considering how their numbers are
dwindling down as the years go by.
Commander Samuel B. Miller pre-
! sided and the principal address was
| made by Rev. Malcolm DePue May-
nard, of St. John’s Episcopal church.
It was a patriotic and intensely inter-
esting address and was much appre-
ciated by all present. Other brief
talks were made by J. Kennedy John-
ston, S. D. Gettig and Dr. E. H. Yo-
cum, of the Methodist church.
Speaking in retrospection, time was
when Gregg Post had almost four
hundred active members on its roll,
and now the total is just forty-one.
At Saturday’s gathering there were
four members who were up in the
eighties and all the others in the sev-
enties. This alone tells the story of
how thin the ranks are growing of the
men who fought in that great civil
strife over half a century ago and it
won’t be many more years until the
Grand Army of the Republic will be
an organization in name only, revered
through coming generations as the as-
sociation of men who fought to pre-
: tion on earth.

Dunlap—Rhone.—Word has been
{ received in Centre county of the mar-
riage at 10:30 o’clock on Tuesday, at
pastor of the First Lutheran church
at Louisville, Ky., and Miss May V.
Rhone, eldest daughter of the late
Hon. Leonard Rhone, of Centre Hall,
: and this was the first intimation many
| of the Centre county friends of both
| Rev. Dunlap and Miss Rhone had that
i they even contemplated matrimony.
| Both are natives of Centre county,
| Rev. Dunlap having been born and
| raised in Ferguson township and Miss
! Rhone in Potter township.
i During the past fifteen years Miss
| Rhone has held the position of a clerk
| in the Dairy and Food Bureau at Har-
| risburg. Last week she tendered her
| resignation to Hon. James Foust,
| dairy and food commissioner, and be-
{ fore she took her departure on Friday
| that gentleman presented her with a
{ handsome silver sugar bowl and
| cream pitcher.
{ Rev. Dunlap and Miss Rhone at one
: time were schoolmates and quite nat-
urally their marriage now is given as
the culmination of an attachment that
sprung up at that time. Rev Dun-
lap has been pastor of the First Luth-
eran church in Louisville now going
on two years and is meeting with
good success in his work there.

McCullough — Logan.—Walter K.
| McCullough, who was recently dis-
' charged from the Areo branch of the
-U. S. army at Caruthers field, Fort

cient supervising agent of the Tyrone

Transferred to
Washington County.
Wayne D. Meyer, who the past four
vears has been highway engineer of
District No. 1, composed of the coun-
ties of Centre, Clinton and Hunting-
don, with headquarters and offices in
Bellefonte, has been transferred to
Washington county, with headquarters
in Washington, Pa., and left for that
place yesterday morning. He has
been succeeded here by D. C. Stack-
pole, of Harrisburg, formerly of the
district composed of Carbon and
Schuylkill counties, who is already on
the job at the state highway offices in
this place.
While the many friends of Mr. Mey-
er regret his departure from Belle-
fonte the change is in the nature of
an advance for him as it carries with
it not only greater responsibilities
but an increase in salary. Quite nat-
urally he was loth to leave here, as he
has acquired his own home since lo-
cating in Bellefonte and it was not an
easy matter for him to break from
the friendly associations he had ac-
quired while living in Bellefonte. But
the Department felt that he was the
man for Washington county and sent
him there.
Mr. Stackpole comes to Bellefonte
with a number of years experience in
highway work and is a most affable
and agreeable gentleman. He will re-
tain his offices where they are at pres-
ent located and there is every reason
to believe that he will display a gen-
uine personal interest in looking after
the welfare of the state highways in
his new district.
The state policemen who have
been stationed at Clarence the past
year or longer are to be withdrawn
and ordered back to the barracks at
‘Butler. The reason for the withdraw-
al of the troopers has not been given,
but it is very likely because they are
no longer considered a necessity at
that place for the law and order of
the community.
