The Bilger Bros., of Pleasant Gap have purchased the Allison tim- ber tract on the Seven mountains, just east of Potters Mills, for the sum of $25,000. The timber on the tract includes some of the best virgin white pine still standing in Centre county as well as some excellent sec- ond growth. The Bilgers will move their mill onto the tract from their old operation in Greensvalley and will cut and market the lumber. — For some time past crows and black birds have been doing consider- able damage to Harry Winton’s corn at his little farm on Quaker Hill, and last Thursday he fashioned a scarecrow and put it out in his patch of corn. His work was so realisti¢ that it scared all the ladies in that neighborhood who thought that some- body had dropped dead in the Winton corn patch. Whether it had the same effect on the crows has not yet been revealed. ——One of the duties of the squad of state police recently located in Bellefonte will be a regular patrol of the various state highways in this section to see that the automobile laws regarding speeding and lights are being carefully observed. And this patrol will not always be in day- light, whieh was made clear last Sat- urday night when the state officers not only patrolled the Nittany valley highway but, according to reports, stopped just twenty-two autoists and asked for their numbers, cards, ete., and also sort of peeked around the autos to see that none of the for- bidden juice was being transported. The state highway down Nittany val- ley will not be the only one in this section patrolled, as the state officers are under orders to see that all laws are enforced and it will be their duty to do it. — James Miller, who runs the dinkey engine for the American Lime and Stone company at the Sunnyside quarries, was badly injured last Sat- urday afternoon, though fortunately it is not believed that the injuries will prove fatal. Engineer Miller no- ticed something wrong with the ma- chinery of his engine and stopping on a grade he set the brakes and got un- der the engine to fix it. In some way he inadvertently loosened the brakes and the dinkey started down grade. Mr. Miller was unable to get clear of the engine and the result was his right shoulder was caught by the slowly moving wheels and badly crushed. In fact his shoulder com- pletely blocked the engine and brought it to a stand-still again. He sustain- ed some bad cuts and bruises on the head and face, but fortunately no in- ternal injuries. He was promptly taken to the Bellefonte hospital where he is now undergoing treatment, and although he will be laid up for some time the attending physicians antici- pate no permanent serious results. — In the changes necessitated by the building of the state highway on Bishop and south Spring streets is the removal of all electric light poles from the street. Naturally the company is seeking to make the change with as little trouble and expense as possible and has endeavored to put the poles within the pavement line of property owners along the streets in question. At the McClure property, on the cor- ner of the two streets, the company dug out the stump of a tree that had been removed from the pavement and dug a hole there to erect a pole, in op- position to the wishes of Mrs. Me- Clure. But when the hole was dug Mrs. McClure calmly walked out of the house and literally sat down in the hole and no amount of persuasion would induce her to move. She sat there an hour or longer until officials of the company agreed to abandon their plan of erecting a pole there. As other property owners also object to poles being erected on their proper- ty it looks as if the company will have to put down an underground cable to carry their wires to that portion of the town. eS. _ STATE COPS COP WHISKEY. Three Barrels Covered with Onions | Taken in Transit Tuesday Morning. | ' Whiskey straight and whiskey _high-balls are well known, old-time | drinks in : Bellefonte but whiskey | smothered In onions was a new one introduced in Bellefonte at exactly 4:15 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and while many an old-timer looked with longing eyes at the three barrels of whiskey bulging out through the tops of the onion bags, and doubtless smacked their lips in memory of old times and with a longing hope that the barrels would burst and the am- | ber liquor Tun out where they could at least lick it up, nothing of the kind | happened, and the truck, whiskey and onions were finally driven up and stored for safe keeping inside the jail yard. To be more explicit two members of the state constabulary now located in Bellefonte left the Garman house about two o’clock on Tuesday morn- ing and went out on night patrol, ac- cording to orders from headquarters to all state police to patrol main high- ways at night and be on the lookout for stolen automobiles. The officers went out the detour toward Pleasant Gap and somewhere near the latter village they saw the headlights of a car coming toward Bellefonte. The car was stopped and it proved to be a truck, apparently loaded with bags of onions. The state police aver that they asked the driver of the car to show his license card and that he didn’t have any, and it was because of this infraction of the law that the truck and all it contained, as well as the driver and his companion, were taken in charge and brought to Belle- fonte, reaching here at 4:15 o’clock. The truck was driven up in front of the Garman house and the men taken to jail. And then, according to the story of the state police, they started to check up the number of bags of onions in the truck and discovered the whiskey. The driver of the truck gave his name as Harry Franks and his companion as John Kaleck, and both men later denied the story of the state cops as to their having no li- cense cards and in proof of their in- nocence in this regard both men ex- hibited their cards to a county officer who visited them in the jail on Tues- day morning. They also stated that they were from Wilkes-Barre and had left that city late on Monday after- noon with the three barrels of whis- key which they were to deliver to a point not many miles from Philips- burg. The driver of the truck admit- ted that he had no permit for the transportation of the whiskey but stated that he had hauled plenty of it before this and got through all right this time. It goes without saying that the cap- ture of the cargo of whiskey and the bringing of it into Bellefonte caused considerable excitement. In fact a murder would hardly have occasioned more. Scores of people walked up to the Garman house just to get a look at the truck and at the three barrels which contained the good old whiskey valued at $1000 per barrel, and it was with deep regret that some of the lookers saw the cargo driven into the jail yard for safe keeping. Prohibition enforcement officers at Wilkes-Barre were notified of the cap- ture of the men and the whiskey and notified the officers here to hold men, whiskey and all pending their arrival, but up to yesterday no enforcement officer had put in an appearance. In the meantime the whiskey has proven a veritable white elephant to the state constabs, for, while sheriff Dukeman permitted the storing of the truck and its valuable cargo in the jail yard he stoutly refused to be responsible for it and the three members of the con- stabulary took turns at guarding it both on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Yesterday morning they de- cided to notify the federal authorities that the cargo of whiskey is here and leave the disposal of it up to them. Just what will eventually become of the liquor is hard to tell. The law is so full of quirks and isms that it can be twisted a good many ways if the right kind of a twister gets hold of it, and the solution of the problem is yet to be made. Bull Ditched the Auto. On Sunday E. C. Ale, of Grazier- ville, Blair county, took his three chil- dren for a motor trip through Centre state highway bound for Lock Haven. While driving along at a moderate pace in the neighborhood of Nittany a large and ferocious bull that was grazing in the road stopped chewing grass and charged the automobile head first, bucking it into the ditch. The result was the top of the machine, left front wheel, a fender and head- lights were broken, while Mr. Ale had his right hand injured and all the children sustained cuts and bruises. A nearby physician looked after the injuries of Mr. Ale and the children and after an auto wheel had been se- cured from Bellefonte the party were able to return home. The bull in question is said to be a vicious one and Mr. Ale is considering the ques- tion of bringing an action for dam- ages against the owner. ___New six ton doors are on the way for the vault in the First Nation- al bank. Not that the old door is con- sidered deficient in any respect, but because the bank officials decided to install new doors of a modern design and which will open and shut with much greater ease and convenience. and hence took a chance on doing so. No Paper Next Week. Don’t be disappointed when your «Watchman” fails to pay you its reg- ular visit next week. In accordance with an old-established custom of giv- ing the employees who help to make the “Watchman” possible a mid-sum- mer holiday during the week of the Fourth of July, no paper will be is- sued next week, and your next num- ber will be out on July 16th. The “Watchman” office will be open, how- ever, for other business and all friends of the paper will be welcome at any time. A regular carnival of nations at the circus—Thursday, July 8th.

Forest Fire Towers to be Built. Three new lookout towers for de- tecting forest fires in Centre county will be built this summer by the Cen- tral Forest Fire Protective associa- tion, according to a report sent to the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry by Forester W. H. Horning, of Snow Shoe. Secretary R. A. Smith and Forester Horning are selecting suita- ble locations for the observation tow- ers. The association decided to erect the towers to increase the protection of its forests from fire and it is expect- ed the towers will be ready for use before the beginning of the fall fire season. Forester Horning has notified the Department of Forestry that Guy Moore, of Sandy Ridge, was fined by J. E. Hawkins, justice of the peace, of Philipsburg, for refusing to assist fire warden R. A. Smith to extinguish forest fires. Circus starts at 6:30 p. m., so the little tots can go—School house commons, Thursday, July 8th. Rabbits Destroying Gardens. It is not an unusual thing to hear of rabbits destroying young orchards and creating havoc in truck gardens in the country districts but never be- | fore have they been known to invade the sacred precincts of the most ex- clusive residential district in Belle- fonte and commit the depredations now charged up against them by | property owners and residents of Linn and Curtin streets. A number of gar- dens in that section have been inva- ded by rabbits and lettuce, beets, cab- bage, etc, literally eaten down to the ground. And inasmuch as the rab- bits do their feeding at night it is im- possible to do anything to abate what is getting to be very much of a nui- sance. Some garden owners feel like doing most anything to get rid of the pests and save their gardens, but they don’t want to do anything unlawful and because of that fact are up against a proposition that they don’t know how to solve. Big Time at Snow Shoe Next Monday. Bellefonters who may be hankerin’ for excitement next Monday, the day on which the glorious Fourth will be celebrated, will be able to find an abundance of it out at Snow Shoe where the Snow Shoe Driving Park Association has arranged an all day celebration in the interest of the mem- orial building it is proposed to erect there in honor of the boys from that locality who served during the world war.

F. band of Bellefonte, will furnish the music, while there will be a good orchestra for dancing. Refreshments can be secured on the grounds. The public is invited. — Ice cream, lemonade, popcorn, county and down the Nittany valley at the circus—Thursday, July 8th. School house commons. Big Celebration at Millheim Next Monday.

Centre county people everywhere are cordially invited to go to Millheim for this great patriotic celebration. | | GAMBLE’S MILL BURGLARIZED. Safe Blown Last Thursday Night and Cash and Checks Totaling Over $1,400 Taken. The bold, bad burglar made his presence in Bellefonte felt last week when he broke into the office of the Gamble flouring mill and after blow- ing open and wrecking a costly safe got away with the contents of the cash drawer, which consisted of $570 in cash and between eight and nine hundred dollars in checks. Ordinari- ly burglars do not take checks but throw them aside, but in this case not only the checks were taken but Mr. Gamble’s rubber signature stamp, which looks as if the robber intended making a try, at least, of passing the checks. Whether the job was pulled off by one man, two or more, is of course not known, but it is generally believ- ed it was not a single-handed affair. The safe, which is quite large, is equipped with double doors and the robbers drilled two holes near the combination dial and blew out the combination. The inside door was al- so blown open. Just what time the deed was done is not definitely known. Max Gamble put his car in the garage at the mill some time between ten and eleven o'clock Thursday night and everything was all right then. Mr. H. L. Hartranft was the first one at the mill on Friday morning and it was he who discovered the robbery and promptly notified Mr. Gamble. Every effort on the part of the owner and the officers of the law to discover some clew to the perpetrators proved futile, but it is pretty certain that the job was not the work of a novice. Just the night before the robbery Mr. Isaac Underwood’s machine shop was broken open and tools to the val- ue of forty or fifty dollars stolen. Among the tools taken were two ratchet drills, one of which was a chain drill. Some persons who examined the blown safe were of the opinion that an electric drill had been used on the job, while others expressed the be- lief that a chain drill had been used, as there were marks on the four cor- ners of the safe at just about the height of the holes drilled into the door. Mr. Gamble is of the opinion that the robbery was the work of two strange men who had been around Bellefonte last Thursday in an auto- mobile and who were not here on Fri- day. Then again, on two evenings prior to the robbery two strange men were seen lounging on the bank of Spring creek near the old Thomas house and of course suspicion points to these men, but as there is no way of identifying either of the two, asso- ciating them with the burglary is merely a matter of speculation. On Saturday two strange men were seen in Milesburg and as they were acting in what some people living | there thought was a suspicious man- ner the state police in Bellefonte were notified and they went down and ar- rested the men, bringing them to Bellefonte and taking them to jail, but nothing has been unearthed con- necting them with the burglary. Since the robbery of Gamble’s mih it has also been learned that contrac- tor Ben Bradley had over a hundred dollar’s worth of tools stolen about ten days ago, and up to this time he has found no trace of them. The “Harmless Sparkler.” Inasmuch as the Fourth of July this year falls on Sunday all celebrations will be held next Monday, the 5th. A few years ago there was a country- wide crusade for a safe and sane Fourth, caused by the constantly in- creasing death rate from burns and tetanus (the result of burns) caused by the high-powered explosive fire crackers. The result was manufac- turers were compelled to cut out the big dynamite cracker and other big explosives and turn their attention to the manufacture of what they term harmless fireworks. Chief among these is the “sparkler,” and it has en- joyed a several year’s run as being perfectly harmless. But so far this year a number of deaths by burning have been reported from various parts of the country as the result of putting off sparklers, and on Monday of this week a small boy at Bellwood would have been burned to death had it not been that his mother was close enough to smother the flames before they en- veloped his little body. As it was he suffered first and second degree burns and may be scarred for life. He was putting off a “harmless sparkler” which was not as harmless as adver- tised, as his clothing was set on fire by the falling sparks. Fireworks cannot be handled too carefully by adults, and they certain- ly ought to be kept out of the hands of children. Therefore, if you don’t want to run any risks, keep the “harmless” fireworks away from the little ones at all times, because there isn’t anything entirely harmless that has fire connected with it. Help for the Farmers. At the regular meeting of the Bus- iness Men’s association on Tuesday evening the question of adequate help for the farmers during the harvest season was discussed and it was agreed by the business men if the la- bor situation proves to become acute they will release some of their clerks to go out and help. The question of compensation was fixed at $3.00 a day and board. Any farmer needing help should communicate with Mr. Charles Schlow, secretary of the association. c—————————— A ———————— ——Lots of fun for old and young at the circus—High school commons, | Thursday, July 8th.
