Shooting Affair at Central City.
Considerable excitement was occa-
sioned at Central City, on Saturday
evening, by the report of five shots
in rapid succession and a hurriedly-
spread rumor that a man had been
shot down on the street. Investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that the only
reason the man hadn’t been shot down
was because the man who did the
shooting was a poor shot, but at that
he sent one bullet through the lobe of
his victim’s left ear, one ball cut him
over the thumb of the right hand, one
struck the left lapel of his coat, cut
through the outer cloth without cut-
ting the lining and came out at the
fold of the lapel, and another bullet
went through his trouser leg on the
inside of the left knee without dam-
aging his underclothing. The fifth
bullet went wild.
The principals in the affair were
Tony Popla, an Italian, and Willis
Sowers, and the cause of the shooting
was a girl. According to reports To-
ny was enamored with the girl for
two years or more and prior to being
called into the service over a year ago
not only lavished money upon her but
just before he went away gave her
some money and personal trinkets to
keep for him. While the Italian was
playing the part of a soldier the girl
in question transferred some of her
affections to Sowers, and since the
Italian’s return there has been more
or less enmity between the two men.
Saturday night about 9:30 o’clock
they met on the street of Central City
near the girl’s home and the shooting
was the result. As soon as Tony
emptied his gun he made a get-away.
The affair was later reported to the
authorities and an effort was made to
apprehend the Italian but up to this
writing (Monday afternoon) his
whereabouts have not been discover-
ed.
When Tony was called before the
exemption board for examination pri-
or to being sent away for service he
not only pleaded ignorance to about
every question asked him, but was so
badly frightened at .the time that
after his examination he put on all
his clothes but his trousers and was
at the door ready to leave when one
of the board asked him why he didn’t
put his trousers on.
A Big Blacksnake Trees a Youthful
Chestnut Hunter.
Last Saturday Billy Curtin, son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Curtin, and Evan
Blanchard, son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Blanchard, were with a party at the
Country club and the two boys decid-
ed to go up on the side of the moun-
tain for some chestnuts. The nuts
were not very plentiful on the ground
and selecting a fair sized tree that
was pretty full of burrs Evan decid-
ed to climb it and switch off the burrs.
He had no trouble getting up and
succeeded in knocking down a quanti-
ty of chestnuts but when he began the
descent of the tree he was very much
startled to see a big blacksnake crawl
out of a hole in the tree between him
and the ground and partly coil him-
self on a limb near the trunk of the
tree as a sort of guard against poach-
ing on his domains. Naturally Evan
made no effort to go down past the
snake and all attempts of Billy Cur-
tin to dislodge it by throwing stones
and sticks at it proving futile the
only thing to do was go for help. So
leaving Evan up the tree Billy ran
down the mountain to Hecla and told
the story of their predicament to a
man working for Lawrence McMullen
and he went along up the mountain
side. When the man and boy reach-
ed the place, however, they found that
the snake had left the chestnut tree
and swung itself onto a smaller tree,
so that Evan got to the ground safely.
The snake was about six feet long
and the fact that it was quite active
and crawling around at this time of
year when all wise snakes ought to
to be holed up, is taken as evidence
that mild weather may be expected
for some time to come.

WHO THE CANDIDATES ARE.
In order that the voters of Centre county may know exactly who
and what manner of men are asking to be made their county officials
the “Watchman” is going to publish a brief historical sketch of those
We do this with a feeling of pride, for
certainly seldom has the personnel of any ticket presented by any par-
ty comprised such a group of men of splendid equipment and high
whose election it advocates.
character.
These are times when the very foundations of government are
shaking and to maintain confidence in and guarantee the justice of
our institutions it is necessary to have men of the highest standard,
strong christian men in all of our offices.
We call your most critical attention to the sketches of the lives of
the gentlemen here presented, feeling sure that their superiority will
be evident.
Capt. E. R. “DICK” TAYLOR.
Capt. Taylor was born in Belle-
fonte, November 27th, 1878, and all
of his life has been spent in this com-
munity, with the exception of the
years he has served abroad with the
army of our country. His education
was secured in the public schools and
at the age of sixteen he entered an
apprenticeship for the plumbing
trade which he mastered in such a |
way as to earn for himself the repu-
tation of being a splendid mechanic.
For a man not yet forty-one years
of age he has a military record which
we feel is scarcely equalled by any
man living who has not made soldier-
ing his profession. On July 2nd,
1895, he enlisted as a private in Co.
B, 5th Reg. N. G. P. and served with
that organization until the outbreak
of the Spanish-American war, in
1898. On April 27th of that year the
regiment was called into service and
he was with it until it was mustered
out on the 11th of the following No-
vember.
When President McKinley called
for volunteers to put down the Phil-
ippine insurrection in 1899 Dick re-
sponded. He enlisted September
9th, 1899, and was assigned to Co. D,
47th Reg. as a private. Before sail-
ing for the Philippines he was pro-
moted to a sergeant and on November
2nd shipped for the scene of a long
and hazardous campaign. He was
fighting insurrectos for nineteen
months. In that time he took part in
twenty-nine major engagements and
after returning to the States was hon-
orably discharged on July 2nd, 1901.
A month after his return he took
charge of the repair work at the
Bellefonte gas and steam plant and a
month later was made assistant su-
perintendent, which position he capa-
bly filled until the fall of 1909, when
he resigned to accept the position of
military instructor in the Pennsylva-
nia Industrial Reformatory at Hunt-
ingdon. This position he filled with
marked ability until the call for pa-
triotism again brought him to Uncle
Sam and he enlisted with Troop L,
1st Penna. Cavalry, on June 25th,
1916, for service on the Mexican bor-
der. There he served with rank of a
Lieutenant for seven months and up-
on the return home of his command
he resumed his position in Hunting-
don. While drilling with Troop L, at
accidentally kicked by a horse and
suffered a broken leg. But two
months later we find him volunteer-
ing for service in the world war and
going off to Camp Hancock with his
troop. There it was disbanded and
“Dick” was assigned to Co. K, 110th
Inf., of which organization he was in
command. They sailed for France
May 2nd, 1917, and were fifteen days
crossing.
His first work on the other side
was in support of the British, French
and Marines and digging trenches
which kept him busy until July 12th,
when his command was sent to the
front line. Two days later, when the
Germans started their last big offen-
sive, he was in the fighting.
He was in the front line acting
with the French and was out recon-
noitering a position near Courthiezy,
on the Marne, that his company was
to take over on July 18th, when he
was surprised by a squad of Germans
and taken prisoner. He remained in
the hands of the Huns until Novem-
ber 27th, when he was released, but
was in such a condition that he could
not rejoin his command for a month.
After his capture he was promoted to
the rank of Captain and when he was
mustered out of the service, last May
24th, his men presented him with a
gold watch as a mark of their esteem
for him as a commander and as a
man.
In infancy he was baptized in the
Episcopal church by the late Rev.
John Hewitt and has been a commu-
nicant member of that denomination
ever since. Capt. Taylor is married
and has a family of four children.

Mutual Life Insurance company, and
later state organizer for the I. 0. O.
F. fraternal insurance with sixteen
counties in Central Pennsylvania. He
was chosen chief clerk to the board of
County Commissioners on January
1st, 1912, and is serving most effi-
ciently in that capacity at this time.

Andrew Harter farm in Penn town-
ship, December 26th, 1869. All of his
early life was spent on the farm and
his education was acquired in the
schools of Penn township and at the
Spring Mills Academy.
Having taken a course at the New
England Conservatory of Music at
Boston, he devoted his time to music
until 1898, when he embarked in the
general store business at Coburn. He
was successful in the mercantile line
and continued in it for seven years
when he sold out and formed a con-
nection with his brother in the retail
piano business.
From youth he has been an ardent
member of the Lutheran church and
since 1891 has been a deacon and el-
der, respectively, of Trinity church of
Coburn. He is a member of Lodge
955, I. O. 0. F.,, of Millheim, was
chairman of the Penn township Lib-
erty Loan committees and was one of
the very active men in all of the war
work carried on in the lower end of
the county.
Mr. Harter has held several elec-
tive offices in his own township,
school director and tax collector, and
made good records in both of them.

Harry Winton has been award-
ed the contract by the Pennsylvania
railroad company to carry all local
mails between the postoffice and rail-
road. In the old location the carrier
was paid by the Postoffice Depart-
ment, but as the postoffice is now lo-
cated within a thousand feet of the
railroad depot, it is up to the railroad
company to provide the carrier. But
at that it is mostly a matter of book-
keeping as the railroad company will
likely get it all back on their rates
for carrying the mails.

D. WAGNER GEISS.
D. Wagner Geiss, candidate for
Register, was born in Potter town-
ship, April 15th, 1870. He lived in
Centre Hall until 1900 and it was in
the schools of that place that he re-
ceived his early education; later hav-
ing attended Prof. Wolf’s summer
school at Spring Mills and the Leba-
non Business College.
In the fall of 1900 he came to Belle-
fonte to enter the employ of the late
Edward K. Rhoads, coal and grain
merchant, and remained as his super-
intendent and accountant until 1913
when he embarked in the produce
commission business which, with his
livery, is his present occupation.
Mr. Geiss is a member of the Luth-
eran church, the Masons, P. O. S. of
A., Maccabees, Woodsmen and is

always been active in every forward
movement in this community and is
known about Bellefonte as one of the
men who is ready at a moment’s no-
tice to do his bit in wha'ever is to be
done for the public welfare.
It is rather a coincidence that Mr.

Furst for the County Attorneyship,
for just ten years ago he defeated the
same gentleman for burgess of Belle-
fonte by a handsome majority.
Opening of Game Season.
Beginning next Wednesday, Octo-
ber 15th, it will be lawful to hunt and
shoot bear in Pennsylania and the sea-
son will last until December 15th.
Bear are becoming quite numerous in
the mountains of Pennsylvania and
are worth going after for the meat as
well as the pelt.
Squirrel, pheasants and quail will
come in season on Monday, October
20th, and it will be lawful to hunt ali
three until November 30th inclusive.
Centre county was closed to the kill-
ing of pheasants last season but this
year it will again be lawful to kill
these game birds. But remember the
limit is but four in one day and twen-
ty-four in a season. Woodsmen re-
port pheasants as being quite plenti-
ful this year so they ought to furnish
good sport.
Only six squirrels may be killed in
one day and twenty in a season, but
as they are reported as being very
scarce it is hardly likely any hunter
will be taxed very hard to keep from
breaking the law.

MARSHALL.—William Allen Mar-
shall, a native of Centre county, died
at his home in Kansas City, Kansas,
on Wednesday, October 1st, following
an illness of some weeks. He was a
son of Joseph W. and Mary Allen
Marshall and was born in . Buffalo !
Run vailey on July 25th, 1850, hence
was 69 years, 3 months and 6 days
old. When a young man he taught
school in Centre county and in 1880
he went to Kansas and taught there
a number of years. He quit teaching
to become a general agent for the In-
ternational Harvester company and
his success in this line led the com-
pany to send him to South America
on two different occasions to intro-
duce the push binders into the great
Argentina wheat belt in the vicinity
of Buenos Aires. For many years
past he had made his home in Kansas
City.
His wife died on October 25th, 1918,
but surviving him is one son, Charles,
and an adopted daughter, Verna. He
also leaves the following brothers and
sisters: Joseph L., on the old home-
stead in Buffalo Run valley; James
G., of Niagara Falls; Mrs. George H.
Musser, of Boggs township; Mrs. Et-
ta Shivery, of Buffalo Run, and Mrs.
Alice Alexander, of near Unionville.
Burial was made in Kansas City.
Interchurch Movement in
County.
Centre
Rev. R. Raymond Jones, of Centre
Hall, and Hon. Ives L. Harvey, of
Bellefonte, will have charge of the In-
terchurch movement in Centre county.
They have divided the county on the
lines of the twelve Sunday school dis-
tricts and appointed leaders of each
district. These leaders have already
begun the work of making the survey
in their respective districts. It is
likely that in Centre county the con-
ditions will be found to be similar to
that of the rest of the county. This
survey should help Centre county in
solving its most perplexing religious
problem, namely, overchurching. Itis
hoped that this movement will receive
the hearty support of the ministers
and all others who are asked to as-
sist in furnishing information to
| those making the survey.
| ——Last p Saturday 1 morning Mrs. |
Robert Walters and Mrs. Susan
| Brickley, of Shiloh, drove to Belle- |
| fonte in the buggy to do some shop-
ping. At noontime they went to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Poorman,
on east High street, for dinner. As |
| they were in the act of feeding their
| horse on the street the animal fright-
ened at something and ran out High
street to Wilson, south on Wilson to |
| Bishop street and down Bishop. The
animal fell down but quickly regain- |
i street to the intersection of Bishop
with Allegheny street where it ran in-
to an auto delivery truck that Clar-
ence Turner was driving. The horse
was caught at that place and aside
from several small cuts was uninjur-
ed and the buggy was very little
damaged. But the Ford truck sus-
tained a stoved-in radiator, one light
broken, and a badly bent fender. Just
what frightened the horse is un-
known.

Aviator Budwig Leaves Bellefonte.
After making Bellefonte his head-
quarters for almost seven weeks avi-
ator Gilbert B. Budwig shook the dust
of the town off his feet and metaphor-
ically spreading his wings flew away
on Tuesday to other scenes to con-
quer. To be exact he went to Milton
where he will do stunts for the pa-
trons of the Milton fair this week and
incidentally take all who desire a
flight through the air at the rate of a
dollar a minute a ride in his Curtis
machine. Next week he will be one of
the attractions at the Lewisburg fair
and then he will stick his nose in the
wind and head for the southern part
of California. His original plan was
to spend the winter in Florida but re-
ports that he received recently indi-
cate California as a better field for
flyers just now and this was the cause
of his changing his decision from
Florida. He expects to fly a portion of
the way but had not definitely decid-
ed on how far when he left Bellefonte.
During the six weeks or more avia-
tor Budwig was in Bellefonte he took
up dozens of passengers, some of
whom insisted on getting all the
thrills that go with airplane travel,
and in not a single instance did he
have an accident or anything near be-
ing one. In fact the ease and comfort
with which he took up passengers has
divested the flying game of much of
the fear with which it had originally
been viewed by many people in Belle-
fonte and Centre county, and if flying
ever reaches that point where it won't
form such a touching acquaintance
with a man’s pocketbook there will be
little hesitancy on the part of the peo-
ple of Bellefonte in taking a trip at
every opportunity.

Union County’s Big Fair October
14-17.
Union county’s greatest fair fixed
for October 14, 15, 16 and 17, promis-
es to excel any previous exhibit by
‘ the agricultural society. Three days
of fast horse racing, daily band con-
certs by bands of reputation, fakirs
galore, a midway only surpassed by
{ Coney Island, big daily features in
front of the grand stand, shows and
side shows, female acrobats in glaring
pink tights, performing animals, an
unusually large exhibit of live stock,
poultry, farming machinery, farm
products, fancy work and monster
crowds.
Due to the fact that the Union
county fair will be held near the close
of the circuit of the fairs in this sec-
tion, there will be an unusually large
number of horses, fakirs, shows and
exhibitors on the ground. Already
large numbers have asked for privi-
leges, and every bit of available space
in the buildings has been given out.
Special rates will prevail on all rail-
roads, and on Thursday the regular
excursion will be run from Centre
county, enabling any who desire to
attend to go down and return home
the same day.

Rasmussen — Elliott. — Frederick

of Pennsylvania, and Miss Faith Win-
ifred Elliott, of Hillsdale, Mich., were
married at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fay Warren
Elliott, in Hillsdale, at four o’clock
last Thursday afternoon. The wed-
ding is of interest to Centre coun-
tians because of the fact that during
the past two years the bride has been
a member of the faculty at State
College, connected with the depart-
ment of home economics, while Mr.
Rasmussen, prior to being appointed
| Secretary of Agriculture by Governor
Sproul was head of the department of
| dairy husbandry at the college. They
i will take up their residence in Har-
| risburg the first of December.

arrived in the Smoky city on Monday
to hear the appeal of Irvin G. Gray
