These three octogenarians have prob-
ably hunted every foot of that coun-

not indulge in that sport this trip be-
cause this is not the hunting season

—___Burnsides cabin on the top of
Muncy mountain is proving a’ delight-
ful retreat for the aviators located 'in
Bellefonte and especially as a most
fitting place to celebrate their natal
anniversaries. Pilot Charles H. An-
glin was twenty-five years old last
Saturday and in the evening a large
party of aviators and their Bellefonte
friends journeyed to the cabin and
‘had quite an elaborate feast in cele-
bration of the event. On Monday pi-
lot Krader was twenty-four years old
and quite naturally the event was ap-
propriately

The two gatherings proved so delight-
ful to all those who had the pleasure
of being in attendance that there is
likely to be a regular deluge of birth-
day anniversaries in the near future.
—__ In these days of woman suf-
frage, equal rights, etc., it is nothing
very strange to hear of woman, love-
ly woman filling any old position in
life that in past years was naturally
regarded as man’s chief domain, so it
was not at all startling on Tuesday
when Bellefonte was visited by Miss
Ruth Clark, of Altoona, who is the
real generalissimo behind the Vipond
Construction company, which is en-'
gaged on the contract of building the
state highway from Milesburg to Gum
Stump. Miss Clark was in Bellefonte
on business relative to the road work
being done in Boggs township and
while here announced that the compa-
ny is now arranging to put on a
night force as well as day force on
their job in this county so that work
will be continuous until the road is
completed, Miss Clark, who is cred-
ited with being one of the biggest
units in the Vipond Construction com-
pany, has entire charge of the Centre
county job, purchasing the material
required, hiring the men and handing
out the payrolls.
Smallpox in Cambria County.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Health has been advised by Dr. Math-
ews, medical inspector of Cambria
county, that he recently saw a case of
smallpox in the person of a railroad
police officer, and a resident of
Barnesboro.
This man took sick on or about the
14th day of August and on the 16th
day of the month he attended a Scot-
tish picnic in Sunset park, near Car-
rollton, and there mingled with hun-
dreds of men, women and children.
In giving publicity to this fact the
Department of Health urges people to
be vaccinated, as it is not possible to
locate individuals who might have
gone over: to Carrollton from Centre
county to attend the above picnic, and
there may have taken into their sys-
tems the infection for a later devel-
opment of this loathsome discase
within themselves, and probably be-
come the source of an epidemic of
smallpox in their own communities.
Young Men Arrested for Robbery.
On Wednesday morning George
Teaman and Joseph Dann were ar-
rested on warrants charging them
with feloniously entering and steal-
ing four dollars in cash: from the
Gregory Bros. Candyland store on
the nights of August 20th and 24th.
The young men were let go on their
own recognizance on their promise to
appear before the court at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning for a dis- |
position of the case but when the
court called at that hour and all was
in readiness the young men failed to
make their appearance, and inasmuch
as neither one of them had been seen
during the morning the natural im-
pression at the time this article is be-
ing written is that they skipped out.
For some weeks back the owners of
Candyland have been missing money
and candy and as both disappeared
‘during the night the only conclusion
that could be arrived at was that
some one was persistently robbing
them. On various occasions tools and
various things have been missed from
the Beatty garage but where they
went could not be found out. The
volice were notified and on various
occasions had men watch both places
all night but nothing happened.
On Wednesday night of last week
Candyland was again entered and
money and candy taken and the pro-
prietors decided to take the affair in-
to their ‘own hands. Consequently
one of them spent all Saturday night
in the store but nothing happened.
He camped there again on Sunday
night and everything was: peaceful
until four o'clock Monday morning
were
caught as they entered the store
‘through the rear window near the
Beatty garage. While the informa-
tion only charges the young men with
the theft of four dollars the Candy-
land proprietors aver that in the
neighborhood of sixty dollars in cash
‘has been taken at various times not
counting the candy, and they cannot
tell the value of that.
Both Teaman and Dann were in the
employ of the Bellefonte Central rail-
road company as drivers
busses’ between Bellefonte and State
College, but they were paid off and
discharged on Wednesday = evening,
and it is quite likely that they then’
decided to leave town and not face
the charge against them.

Trips Through the Air in Pi-
lot Budwig’s Ship.
Aviator Gilbert B. Budwig, a for-
| mer pilot on the Wilson aerial mail
| route and who is under contract to do
| Taking
{
| flying stunts at Philipsburg’s big La- |
bor day and welcome home demon-
| stration next Monday, was an arrival
lin Bellefonte last Friday morning
i with his wife and promptly announc-
i ed the fact that his Curtis plane was
coming by express-and that he would
| spend the week here and take up any
land all who desired to try a flight
through the air. His unexpected ad-
citement among residents of Belle-
fonte who have long aimed to fly high
and then saw the opportunity within
their grasp.
Pilot Budwig’s machine and mech-
anician did not reach Bellefonte ‘until
late Saturday afternoon but it was
quickly unloaded and hauled out to
the Beaver farm. By eleven o’clock
on Sunday morning the machine
had been assembled and thor-
oughly gone over by the mechanician
and pilot Budwig then gave it a thor-
ough testing out in a series: of flights
and stunts in the air. Immediately
afterwards he took up Mrs. Budwig
| for a short flight through the air, thus
| according her the honor of being his
| first passenger in Bellefonte.
Sunday afternoon he was ready to
i take up passengers and Ged
peneto was the first man to go up.
: The second was Lloyd Glinz, and he
| enjoyed the novel sensation of flying
through the air so much that he took
| a second trip the same afternoon. In
| fact pilot Budwig was kept busy all
| afternoon and on Monday he was kept
busy most of the day taking up pas-
, sengers. Among the number taken
up Monday morning was Mrs. Wil-
liam Hood Hackenberg, of Milton,
i who was the first lady passenger to go
| up in Bellefonte, not counting the pi-
| lot’s wife. All who have taken the
y trip have enjoyed the sensation of fly-
ring through the air, and while some
| admit having felt a little nervous at
i the start they aver that once under
1 way there is a feeling of perfect se-
| curity without a thought of not mak-
| ing the trip in absolute safety.
Pilot Budwig’s machine has a speed
of about eighty miles an hour and is
so constructed that it takes the air at
only a moderate speed and can be
brought to land in the same way. The
machine under perfect control at all
| times, so that it has much the appear-
| ance of a big bird in its graceful flight |
+ through the air. .
| Pilot Budwig will spend the balance
{ of the week here then fly over to Phil-
| ipsburg for the big time on Monday.
| The length of time he stays in Phil-
| ipsburg will depend on the number of
| citizens of that town and vicinity who
i may wish to take a’ trip through the
air, but at the conclusion of his date
{ there the aviator will return to Belle-
! fonte and remain here a day or two
longer before returning to New York,
, where he is connected with the Queens
| Aerial Navigation 'company, an or-
| ganization formed by Mr. Budwig
after he resigned from the service of
i the Postoffice Department.
| A complete list of those who have
| taken flights since pilot Budwig has
| been in Bellefonte. is as follows:
Sunday afternoon, Lloyd Glinz, two
' flights, one over the Nittany moun-
| tain and Centre Hall; George Carpen-
cto, Samuel Dick, C. W. Heney,
| George Hile and H. W. Harter.
Monday afternoon, Mrs. W. H.
Hackenberg, of ‘Milton. From early
Monday afternoon until Wednesday
noon no passenger work was’ done
owing to overhauling the motor and
replacing parts. : !
Wednesday afternoon, Samuel E.
| Noll, L. "Ward Hile and Ray C. Noll,
all of Pleasant Gap; Miss Henrietta
Quigley and S. H. Poorman, of Belle-
fonte. ;
Yesterday morning pilot Budwig
took Mr. Comners, of the Bellefonte
and Lewistown bus line on a trip to
Lewistown and back, making it in
just 72 minutes, which included cir-
cling over the town several times.
Pilot Budwig yesterday informed
the “Watchman” that he will be in
Bellefonte until Sunday evening then
‘go to Philipsburg for Labor day but
will return here for a few days’ stay
in order to give any one desiring a
flight an opportunity to go up.
