Florence Krape, of Centre Hall, | Drowned in Automobile Accident. | Last Saturday morning Alfred Krape, of Centre Hall, with his two : daughters, Florence and Mrs. Harry | Reish and the latter’s three year old son, and his brother, James S. Krape, who recently came east from Seattle, started on an automobile trip to Reedsville in Mr. Krape’s Dodge car for the special purpose of visiting friends. Notwithstanding the fact that the road was icy in spots and Mr. Krape had no chains on his car he got over the mountains all right and was traveling along at a fair rate of speed about three miles on this side of Mil- roy when he met a team on a rather sharp curve. He turned out to pass the team when he saw right ahead of him a narrow bridge over Laurel run. He attempted to steer the car back onto the road but the rear wheels slipped on the ice and to avert run- ' ning against the side of the bridge he threw on the brakes with the result that the car skidded into the side of the bridge, knocked off the railing and toppled over into the creek, a distance of about eight feet. The water in the stream at that place was about two feet deep but the car fell in such a way that it formed a fairly good dam and backed up the water. Mr. Krape was thrown through the curtains of the car and escaped with only a slight shock. He at once went to the assistance of the others and helped his brother, James Krape, who occupied the front seat with him, out of the car. Next he got out his daughter, Mrs. Reish and her little son, the latter being unconscious from being under the water, but when efforts were made to rescue Florence Krape they found her pinned fast un- der the car. While frantically en- deavoring to release her a man from Penn Hall came along in a runabout but the two men were unable to raise the car far enough to get the impris- oned girl out. While still tugging at the car William MecNitt and three oth- er men in a car happened along and the entire force succeeded in prying up the car and getting the young girl out, but she was dead when released, having been under water thirty-five minutes. She had a deep blue mark on one cheek and it is possible that she was knocked unconscious when the car went over as she was not seen to struggle once while under water. " The little boy was quickly revived and suffered no ill effects from his : submersion. Mrs. Reish was uninjur- ed except by shock, but James Krape was slightly injured on the stomach "and right leg. The man from Penn Hall conveyed the body of the dead girl to Milroy, while Mr. McNitt took the other members of the party to the same town and saw that they got dry clothing.. Automobiles from Centre noon and brought ' the entire party back to Centre Hall. Florence Krape, the girl who was drowned, was fourteen years old and a bright and winsome maid. Her parents and sister, Mrs. Reish, are her only survivors. The funeral was held Wednesday morning, Rev. R. Raymond Jones officiating, and burial was made in the Centre Hall ceme- tery.

Crider & Son, in Bellefonte, was totally de- stroyed by fire on Saturday, Decem- ber 20th, with all its contents. The building was owned by G. M. Gamble and had been used as a planing mill for upwards of fifty years. The skewer factory operated by H. N. Cri- der was also located in the building. While there is no definite knowledge as to the origin of the fire it is believ- ed to have been caused by thawing out water pipes with a blow torch. Bellefonte firemen succeeded in sav- ing adjoining buildings and lumber piles, notwithstanding the fact that the heat was unusually intense. _ The loss is estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars. Mr. Gamble had no insurance on the building while Mr. Crider’s interests were practical- ly covered by insurance. Whether the mill will be rebuilt or not has not yet been decided.

V. | of the Temple Lutheran church in Al- ! Chester Heisy Narrowly Escapes Death from Petromortis. | Chester Heisy, of Pleasant Gap, is alive this morning but the fact that he is is little short of a miracle. He is one of the employees of the Beatty Motor Co., in this place, and drives to and from his home at Pleas- . ant Gap in a Ford ruabout. Wednes- - day evening he came into the garage ‘ for his night turn, arriving here prob- "ably about 5:45. Paul Mallory and Milan Walker had not left the place : yet and both of them heard a motor running outside the entrance door. Such things are of constant occur- | rence there and they paid no atten- | tion to it at first, but when it contin- ued and no effort was made by its | driver to open the door and enter they went to investigate. They found | Chester lying over on his side on the | seat of the car totally unconscious and his face and hands blue. Lifting him out as quickly as pos- sible a physician was summoned and | after considerable work he was reviv- ed and recovered sufficiently to be taken home. An investigation revealed the fact i that the union on the exhaust pipe, that on Ford cars is directly under | the foot board, had worked loose per- . mitting the entire exhaust to escape there instead of going on back | through the muffler to the rear of the car. Chester says he doesn’t remem- ber anything later than when he turned into the garage off High street, yet he must have been con- scious up to the very moment that he reached the door at the rear, for his brake was set, the clutch out and the car had been stopped at the proper place and in the right way. At that instant he must have gotten the in- hallation of gas that overcame him before he could get out of the car. The singular part of it is that it was an open car. While the top was up there were no curtains on so that the gas must have been unusually deadly to have overcome him with so much fresh air about. It is quite probable that he was in- haling a small amount of the gas all the way in from the Gap, but as he was running fast then the fresh air partially counteracted it, but when he turned into the garage entrance he slowed down, and being in a sheltered alley way, got more gas and less pure air. Stine Verdict $116,035.23. When the last issue of the “Watch- man” went to press the jury was still out in the case of S. B. Stine, of Osce- ola Mills, against the Pennsylvania railroad company for damages for the destruction of his foundry by fire al- leged to have been caused by a spark from a passing locomotive, and the verdiet they finally returned was in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $116,035.28, one of the largest actual damage verdicts returned in Pennsyl- vania in many years. : In proving his loss Mr. Stine claim- ed $15,660.96 for buildings, lighting and heating equipment, and the jury allowed $15,442.12.. The claim for machinery, tools, ete., totally destroyed was placed at $36, 092.71, and the jury allowed $35,- 132.45. For machinery and tools only partially destroyed $61,730.37 was claimed and the jury allowed $58,- 376.52. For loss on profits on con- tracts on hand, $10,178.12 was claim- ed, no part of which was allowed by the jury. On a claim for interest on items of loss for twenty-six months, amounting to $14,164.28, the jury al- lowed $7,082.14. Immediately upon hearing the verdict counsel for the Pennsylvania railroad company made a motion for a new trial and appealed to the court to set aside the verdict on the grounds of it being unduly ex- cessive. The Old Homestead. With its delightfully pure and ap- pealing sentiment, the greatest of all comedy dramas, Denman Thompson's “The Old Homestead,” will be pre- sented at Garman’s for one night on- ly, Tuesday, January 6th. “The Old Homestead” tells the story of the Whitcomb family, who owned a little farm near Swanzey, New Hampshire. They were kind hearted folks, who made the world a great deal better for their having lived in it. Uncle Joshua was a quaint character, full of wise sayings and the Poor Richard of that part of the country. This lovable character, made famous by the late Denman Thompson, is now portrayed by William Lawrence. Before his death Mr. Thompson told Mr. Law- rence that he hoped he would contin- ue as “Uncle Josh,” as the play would out-live him and run on indefinitely. His prediction has been true, as the play is now on its thirty-third annual tour. This will be counted on as one of the season’s cleanest and most worthy offerings. Recent Births.
