“Bellefonte, Pa, September 5, 1919. msn NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. — Patriotic League meeting this (Friday) evening, September 5th, at 7:30 o’clock, in the High school au- ditorium. If not a member go out and become one. Miss Edith Houser last week resigned her position as clerk in the Index stationery store and went to Gamble’s mill as stenographer and book-keeper. Dr. John Sebring on Monday opened his own office in the Montgom- ery building on Allegheny street and Dr. David Dale took charge of his office and resumed the practice of his profession in Bellefonte. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Schlow have leased the Tressler home on Howard street and will move into it just as soon as their furniture ar- rives. Mr. and Mrs. Schlow expect t make Bellefonte their home. : A civil service examination will be held at Bellefonte, State College and Philipsburg to fill the position of rural carrier at Port Matilda and any other vacancies that may occur on ru- ral routes throughout the county. While working on the new en- gineering building at State College last Friday Joseph Wolf had the mis- fortune to run a six penny nail into his right hand, causing a painful injury that kept him from work several days. Just to show that they can toot the horns with musical sweetness the Odd Fellows band made its appear- ance on the streets on Tuesday evening and rendered several pieces to the delight of a large crowd of list- eners. ——Charles H. McVey, president of the McVey real estate company, of Altoona, was in Bellefonte yesterday for the purpose of looking up a suita- ble location and making the prelimi- nary arrangements for opening a branch office in Bellefonte. Centre Hall has two women who have passed the ninety year mark in the persons of Mrs. Susanna Spangler, who celebrated her ninety- first anniversary on August 22nd, and Mrs. Mary Dinges, who was ninety years old on August 25th. ———The manager of the local avia- tion field knows nothing of plans for a flight of the Prince of Wales from New York to Chicago a report of which has been circulated in Belle- fonte to the effect that his itinerary includes a stop in this place. ——Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, who have been making their home with Mns. Kelley’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Campbell, at Linden Hall, since com- ing from Philadelphia, have taken the flat in Crider’s Exchange, recently va- cated by Mr. and Mrs. George Carpe- neto. re ——The “Watchman” has received word direct from Mr. W. L. Malin, who is now in the state sanitorium at Cresson, that his condition is already considerably improved and he feels sure that in the end he will be greatly benefitted by his sojourn there. His many friends in Bellefonte will be pleased to learn of his improvement. There must be something about Pennsvalley that appeals to silk manufacturers. Some weeks ago F. OQ. Hartman, of Danville, purchased ground in Millheim on which to erect a silk mill and last week he purchased a plot of ground in Centre Hall on which he represents a sixty to seven- thousand dollar mill will be erect- ed. r. James D. Caldwell, the young dentist who recently purchased the office equipment of the late Dr. J. E. Ward, has been in Williamsport this week laying in a stock of sunplies and some new equipment for his den- tal office. He will occupy the old Dr. Ward office which will be entirely done over, and expects to be open for prac- tice in the very near future. ——DBeginning tomorrow and con- tinuing throughout next week the Methodist church of Warriorsmark will hold a big “home-coming” when all former pastors are expected back to give 2 message of cheer to their old parishioners. Sunday, Septem- ber 7th, will be the big day and Bish- op William F. McDowell will be pres- ent and deliver the sermon in the evening. On Tuesday Harvey T. Smith, a United States marshall, appeared in Milesburg and arrested Mrs. Blanche Shope, wife of Barney Shope, for having raised a money order from $1.10 to $17.10 and getting the same eashed at the Bellefonte postoffice gome time last April. Mrs. Shope was held under $250 bail to appear at the United States court in Scranton on October 20th. ~——All pictures look good on pa- per but if you want to see real piec- tures go to the Scenic and watch the metion pictures as they are thrown fpon the screen. Every evening’s program presents something new and interesting. The big bills in front of the Scenic don’t half tell the story of what you can see inside. There is something good every evening, that’s why you should be a regular attend- ant. ———TFvidence that Centre county landlords are still pinning their faith. on President Wilson is shown in the fact that every one of them who re- newed his license for August has again renewed for September. This is the third renewal made without the privilege of selling liquors, and it is only natural to suppose that if the ban is finally lifted Mr. Drinker will have to settle for what the landlords have been compelled to pay out. | COUNCIL WILL PURCHASE PHOE- NIX MILL PROPERTY. Borough Council Voted to Exercise Option on Plant at Regular Meet- ing on Monday Evening. At a regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening that offi- cial body voted unanimously to exer- cise the option held on the Phoenix mill pumping station and purchase the plant as per the offer of Col. W. Fred Reynolds of July 10th, which gave the purchase price as $25,000 and terms of payment exceedingly reasonable. The six members present at the meeting were president Walker and Messrs. Brouse, Cunningham, Fauble, Flack and Richard. Mr. Rich- ard, as chairman of the Special com- mittee, recommended the purchase of the plant and Mr. Fauble made a mo- tion that the recommendation be ac- cepted. Mr. Flack seconded the mo- tion and on roll call every council- man present voted aye. The details and arrangement for the payment of the plant will be worked out by the Special committee and borough solic- itor and presented to council at a lat- er meeting.’ The first business brought before council when it convened was a writ- ten communication from both mem- bers of the borough police force re- questing an increase in salary on the grounds of the unusually high cost of living. Inasmuch as the Fire and Po- lice committee had no recommenda- tion to make no action was taken. A written communication was re- ceived from the Potter-Hoy Hardware company setting forth the fact that contractor R. B. Taylor was indebted to them in the sum of $1316.28 for material purchased and used in build- ing the state road through the bor- ough and requesting any action that council could consistently give to- ward securing the payment of the ac- count. Inasmuch as council is al- ready obligated to the Bellefonte Trust company to practically the fuil amount of any and all moneys yet due contractor Taylor no action could be taken on the above request. Mrs. A. Sterner, of Philadelphia, requested exoneration of water taxes on a house she owns on east Howard street because of its being unoccupied for a period of two years. The mat- ter was referred to the Water com- mittee. Mr. Richard, for the Street commit- tee, reported the receipt of ten dollars from Mrs. Morrison, of east Bishop street, for a sewer permit, and ten dollars from Miss Montgomery for re- pairs to sewer on Allegheny street. The committee also presented a con- tract with the Gaylord International Engineering and Construction compa- ny for the use of the borough steam road roller for which they- agree to pay twelve dollars for each and every actual working day it is in use, bills payable monthly. Mr. Richard furth- er, reported that the committee had obligated the borough to the extent of one hundred dollars for making a change in the location of the state highway where it intersects with the borough line near Mallory’s black- smith shop, and the action of the com- mittee was approved by council. The report of the borough manager was submitted showing various repairs made on the streets and the collection of $36.00 for extra work done infront of private properties. The Water committee presented the report of the borough manager in connection with the water department, detailing various repairs made and leaks in water pipes corrected. The Finance committee presented the report of the borough treasurer and asked for the renewal of an old note for .$700 and the execution of a new note for $5,000 for four months to meet current expenditures, both of which were authorized. The commit- tee also presented the report of the secretary of council that the tax du- plicate for 1919 has been completed and is ready to turn over to the col- lector. The total assessed valuation in the borough for the year 1919 is given as $1,800,962, and the total tax for borough, street and interest pur- poses $25,317.52. The water pumping question so far as the contract between the State- Centre Electric company and the bor- ough is concerned was pretty thor- oughly discussed but no definite de- cision was reached and the matter was continued in the hands of the Special committee. Bills approximating $2,400 were ap- proved and council adjourned. — awe Frank Lynch Taken to Sunbury. Frank Lynch, the cripple who un- dertook to work the “crippled soldier” sympathy game on Bellefonte people last week in order to get money from the Red Cross to help him on his jour- ney to New York State, was taken to Sunbury last Friday evening by an officer who came up for that purpose. The man’s parents live in Sunbury and he was turned over to them. The Bellefonte authorities were satisfied to get rid of him, as they decided that owing to his confirmed dope habit he was not accountable in any way for what he did. In a letter to the “Watchman” this week Dr. John Keichline, of Peters- burg, states that he has no knowledge whatever of the three prescriptions found on the man bearing the signa- ture “Dr. John Keichline,” as he nev- er saw or heard of him until he read the article in the “Watchman” telling of the man’s actions in Bellefonte. Prof. J. S. ¥. Rauthrauff, who has been superintendent of the Phil- ipsburg schools for a number of years past, has been elected secretary of the Philipsburg Chamber of Commerce, vice Henry T. Farr resigned. The change took place on Monday morn- ing. See Nazimova in “The Red Lantern,” Sept. 11th and 12th, Scenic theatre. 35-1t Workmen are already engaged in fixing up the room in Temple Court formerly occupied by the post- office for F. P. Blair & Son’s jewelry store. A new ceiling will be put in and the room painted and freshened up throughout. When it is ready for occupancy Blair & Son will equip it with mostly new furnishings of an up- to-date character and their store then will be difficult to reconcile with their present establishment. — Following a year’s service in the army, both at home and abroad, Dr. M. W. Reed has been discharged and returned to Bellefonte this week to resume his practice at his former office in the Masonic Temple. Dr. W. U. Irwin, who had charge of Dr. Reed’s practice during his service in the army, will remain in Bellefonte and be associated with Dr. Reed in the future. With Dr. Reed’s return to Bellefonte all the Bellefonte phy- sicians who were in service are now back on the job with the exception of Dr. SM. Hufl. Moving a postoffice from one building to another is not a very easy job, a fact that can be substantiated by the entire force in the Bellefonte postoffice. Notwithstanding the fact that they started moving in earnest on Saturday morning it took until Tuesday to get the screen properly set so that the lobby could be kept open for the use of the general public while there is likely to be considera- ble changing around inside for some time yet in order to get everything arranged so that the work will be most convenient for all the employees. The weekly community sing which some of the enterprising and musically-inclined people of the town attempted to inaugurate last Thurs- day evening didn’t inaugurate. Sam- my Bryan, the well known band man who was to have been on hand with his cornet, failed to materialize and with no music to lead the singing the movement died a-bornin’ and the small bunch of enthusiasts who had gathered in the Diamond to lend their voices in sending forth sweet songs of melody went home in disgust. As it looks now no further effort will be made in this line. ——The court has refused a new trial in the case of J. C. Condo vs. D. H. Shivery and ordered judgment enter- ed in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $554.00, the amount of the verdict returned by a jury at the December term of court, with interest from that date. The case was an action brought by Mr. Condo against Mr. Shivery to recover damages for a threshing en- gine that had blown up while being used by the defendant, the gist of the plaintiff’s evidence being that the ex- plosion was caused by the engine not being level at the time thus exposing the crown sheet to the mercy of the : a hot fire in the fire box. —n conn. $B u The House of Lords has literal- ly been lifted up and transplanted from the top of Nittany mountainito | a point on Muncy mountain above Valley View, not far from the Burn- side cabin. The House of Lords was built upwards of twenty years ago by less than half a dozen young men on the very brink of the mountain above Gregg station. For years it proved a pleasant retreat for Bellefonte peo- ple when they grew weary of the strife and turmoil of town life, but the onward march of progress in the shape of the Rockview penitentiary took up all the surrounding land for use as a water shed, and the Lords fell by the wayside one by one until the Nittany mountain retreat was al- most bereft of patronage. Recently the idea was conceived to transplant the cabin onto a delightful spot on Muncy mountain and Monday was utilized as moving day. In its new location the House of Lords will probably again grow in popularity but it will hereafter lack that wonderful view across the broad expanse of Pennsvalley that was one of its great- est charms as a place for a summer day’s outing. -—a a Last Friday evening Miss Ruth Badger was in Katz & Co’s store do- ing some shopping and while waiting for her change laid her purse down on the counter. When she looked for it, | it was gone and a hasty examination failed to reveal it anywhere. There were two colored women in the store at the time and one of them made the remark that she supposed they'd be blamed for stealing the purse. Miss Badger did not mind losing the purse, as she had only a little change in it, but there were one or more articles in it she didn’t want to lose.” The color- ed women left the store before she did and walked down High street. Miss Badger followed them down and told her father, Harry Badger, at Twit- mire’s store, and he called policeman Elmer Yeager, who was across the street, and the two of them overtook the two women near the Bush house and demanded the purse. Both vehe- mently denied having taken it or seen it, and the men finally walked away. After they had gone the women turn- ed around and at the bridge one walk- ed ahead of the other and when the one in the rear reached the side of the bridge near Water street she was seen throwing something into the creek, at the same time dropping some torn pa- per on the pavement. She then hasti- ly walked up street. A number of men soon gathered on the bridge and the torn paper on being pieced togeth- er proved to be a receipt that Miss Badger had in her purse while the purse and a dime were found on a large stone that juts out from the high wall along the creek, but the special articles that Miss Badger par- ticularly cared for could not be found. REUNION OF BOAL TROOP. Held at Boalshurg Saturday, When Monument Was Dedicated to Dead Heroes. Notwithstanding that Saturday morning was rainy and threatening the weather cleared up somewhat by Saturday afternoon and the result was over one thousand people assem- bled at Camp Boal, at Boalsburg, to witness the first reunion of the old Boal troop, which served in France as Company A, 107th machine gun bat- talion and take part in the dedication of a monument to those members of the troop who gave their lives for the cause. The people of Boalsburg and vicinity took advantage of the occa- sion to hold a picnic on the grounds during the afternoon and evening and thus helped to swell the crowd. Mu- sic was furnished by the Modern Woodsmen’s band, of State College. About seventy-five members of the troop were present at the gathering and these ex-soldiers, headed by the band, marched from the camp to the newly erected monument promptly at five o'clock, the hour for the exercis- es. The program included an invoca- tion by Rev. Father O’Hanlon after which Mrs. W. F. Leitzell sang a very appropriate solo, the accompa- niment to which was played on a French piano captured in a German dugout by the members of the troop and brought back to this country by ! Major Boal as a trophy of war. Im- mediately following Mrs. solo the monument was unveiled and was dedicated to the memory of the dead heroes by Major Theodore Da- vis Boal in a very neat presentation speech. It was accepted on the part of the troop by Major Wilbur F. Leit- zell. The monument consists of a cross taken from one of the battlefields in France set in the breech of a captur- ! ed German “77,” and mounted on a native limestone base with a Boche machine gun at the bottom. On the base of the monument are carved the names of the thirteen young men who gave their life for the great cause, as follows: Hayes M. Wilson, Clearfield. Bromley R. Smith, Lewisburg. Eugene R. Davis, Harrisburg. Michael A. Miller, Pittsburgh. Donald J. Hile, Pleasant Gap. Arthur Monroe, Lock Haven. Ralph I. Dunlap, Pine Grove Mills. Claude Kahle, New Castle. Daniel J. Halpin, Pittsburgh. William C. Conway, Wheeling, W. Va. Lewis Crossovolt, address unknown. James Thorpe, address unknown. George Simcox, Philipsburg. The roll of the honored dead was called by second lieutenant Donald Zimmerman and as each name was read out a little girl dressed in white advanced with a wreath and placed it on the base of the monument. Fol- lowing the above dedication exercises there were brief addresses by Major General William G. Price, who com- manded the artillery of ‘the Twenty- eighth ' division in "France, and Col. David Davis, chief of staff of the 28th, both of whom told of the fighting and bravery of the soldiers of Pennsylva- nia in the great world war. Later an American flag which had been carried through the campaign in Trance and later floated over the American army headquarters at Goshen, Germany, was flung to the breeze from the top of an iron flag- pole presented the troop by Christ- opher Morgan, general manager of the Pittsburgh Steel company. At the close of the exercises a buffet sup- per was served the soldier guests and the entire crowd enjoyed a picnic sup- per furnished from the well laden baskets of those present. The even- ing was devoted to a reception, an in- spection of the Boal museum and a dance. Bellefonte Taxi Driver Unwittingly Helped Prisoner to Escape. The “Watchman” last week con- tained a brief item relative to the es- cape of L. C. Statler, of Altoona, from the western penitentiary at Rockview on Wednesday morning but the man- ner of his escape did not leak out un- til Saturday. Statler made his getaway from the gang he was working with some time Wednesday morning and walked to Pleasant Gap. There he represented himself as a telephone lineman and asked an automobilist coming to Bellefonte to give him a lift into town. The man very obligingly did so. Arriving in Bellefonte Statler walked boldly up to the Brockerhofl house and accosted one of the well known taxi drivers of Bellefonte on a proposition to take him to Tyrone. He told the same story about being a telephone lineman and that he had just received word that his wife was very sick in Bellwood, but if he could get to Tyrone he could take the troi- ley from there to Bellwood. The taxi driver asked ten dollars to make the trip and the escaped prisoner pulled out one dollar, gave him that and told him when they got to Tyrone he would go into the office and get him the other nine. Thereupon the taxi man headed it for Tyrone. He made good time up the valley and when they reached Ty- rone the prisoner directed the taxi man to the telephone office building and told him to wait and he would go in and get him his nine dollars. The taxi ‘driver waited and waited and waited until almost an hour and a half passed and then he went into the office to make inquiries for his man, only to learn that he was a fake. There was nothing left for the taxi man to do but return home and it was not until two days later that he learn- ed that his passenger to Tyrone was an escaped prisoner and that he had fifty dollars (the reward for his re- turn) within his clutches and didn’t know it. ’ Leitzell’s | NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Blanchard are Washington, D.

The final game of the Red Cross baseball season ' will be’ played: on Hughes field ‘this (Friday) evening between the North and South ward teams, and owing to its growing dark much earlier now than it did a month ago the game will be called promptly at 6:30 o’clock. Last Friday evening the West ward defeated the North by the score of 4 to 1 and while there are a number of postponed and tie games between the various teams that compose the league the only two now figuring in the pennant are the North and South wards and as there is only one game in which they both figure it has been agreed by all the managers to make that game this evening, and thus close the season, as the evenings are now too short to prolong the series. Therefore go out to Hughes field this evening and see the North and South fight for the pennant. It is sure to be a battle royal, and may the best team win.
