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.

_ 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.

sued next week, and your next num-
ber will be out on July 16th. The

ever, for other business and all friends
of the paper will be welcome at any

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.

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’

world war.
Three games of baseball are on
the program to be played by teams
from State College, Grass Flat and
Snow Shoe. Horse racing will be
another leading feature and there
will also be auto and bicycle races.
A new merry-go-round has been pur-
chased by the park association and
it will be on the ground for the first
time on Monday. The I. O. O. F. band
of Bellefonte, will furnish the music,
while there will be a good orchestra

son Walker Esq.
Athletic events include a tub race,
three legged race, various dashes,
ete. Music for the occasion will be

Beavertown, which includes forty
pieces. A festival will be held in the
evening by the American Legion.
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.
