THE MARCH TO THE WOODS.
Deer Hunting Season will Open Next
: Wednesday.
Before the next issue of the
“Watchman” reaches its readers the
annual deer hunt will be on in full
swing. The deer season will open
next Wednesday, December 1st, and
from present indications there will be
who will go out on the trail. Up to
‘ date over four thousand hunters’ li-
censes have been issued. in Centre
county and the majority of this num-
ber will go out after deer. But the
fame of Centre county mountains as
a paradise for deer hunters is known
all over the State and the consequence
is that every fall hundreds of hunt-
ers come into Centre county from
other sections, so that the total out
after deer will run up into thousands.
Last year over two hundred buck
deer were killed in Centre county, the
best season in many years, and the re-
sult is already manifest in the eager-
ness of old hunters to get into the
woods this fall. As by far the larger
number of deer were killed in the Sev-
en mountains that vast stretch of
mountainous country will be the mec-
ca sought by most of the hunters this
vear. Many deer have been seen in
the Seven mountains during the sum-
mer, and in the fields of farmers abut-
ting on the mountains. About the
usual percentage of deer seen were |

old and stated before his death that

to believe that the hunters have good
sport ahead of them.
But the Seven mountains are not
the only good hunting grounds in the
county. The Barrens, Brush moun-
tain and little Sugar valley are deer
countries, and more deer have been
seen on the Alleghenies during the
summer than have been in evidence
for several years. Bear hunting goes
with deer hunting as a matter of
course, but as bruin is not as plenti-
ful as deer, and harder to trail, hunt-
ing him is not the attractive sport
that hunting deer is.
In this connection the “Watchman”
would esteem it a great favor if its
readers and friends everywhere would
telephone this office promptly on the
receipt of news of the killing of deer
anywhere. Don’t wait until the end
of the season but send us a report as
soon as you get it. It is only in this
way that we will be able to give early
and accurate reports of the game
killed.
MANY CAMPERS SEEK PERMITS.
Sportsmen from Centre, Clinton
and Union counties are promised rare
sport in the Bald Eagle state forest
by district forester H. S. Metzger, of
Loganton. He has notified the Penn-
sylvania Department of Forestry that
deer are plentiful in his district.
Prospects are also favorable for a
‘ large number of hunters going to that
‘ region for their bucks. There are six-
i teen permanent camps established in
i that forest, and an additional number
of persons have applied to the State
Forest Commission for other permits.
As a result of all this activity and the
abundant supply of deer, forester
Metzger expects a large kill during
the open season.
He reports small game as rather
: scarce this fall, particularly pheas-
| ants. A number of dead birds have
! been found by the forestry depart-
i ment employees, without bearing any
| wounds. Forester Metzger believes
ome disease is prevalent among the
grouse.
Forester Metzger is on the trail of
| hunters who have destroyed several
: of the large metal signs on his forest.
The signs were shot full of holes by
‘irresponsible persons.

campaign. Pennsylvania’s allotment

a per capita of nine for every man,
woman and child in Centre county. To
get rid of this number of seals will
mean a more energetic campaign than

seals can be disposed of is through
wholesale buying on the part of the
public generally. Begin buying seals
now and use them right along, thus

A scourge of scarlet fever, or to be

Trial.
William D. Hall, the convict who es-
jcaped from the western penitentiary
i at Rockview on June 8th, 1918, and
| Altoona for which crime he was sent
up for two years, completed the latter
sentence on Sunday and on Monday
was brought back to Centre county to
answer to the charge of escaping
from the penitentiary.
Hall is an habitual criminal; in fact
he might be properly termed a very
bad man. He is now fifty-six years
old, and approximately thirty-eight
years of that time have been spent be-
hind prison bars.
of twenty years in Baltimore for kill-
ing a man, and yet, with his astound-
ing record as a criminal, he asserts
that he will contest the case against
him for escaping from the penitentia-
ry.
When Hall escaped from that insti-
tution he was serving a term for
burglary committed in Altoona.
left the Rockview institution on the
evening of June 8th, 1918, and that
night stole a revolver and rain coat
from a house near the fish hatchery.
Early the next morning he walked in
, the old pike, passed through Belle-
: fonte and started down the state road
| toward Milesburg. At the Red Roost
he encountered Harry Whiteman, who
i was employed as a guard at the peni-
i tentiary. The latter knew him and
whipping out his revolver ordered
him to throw up his hands. Hall
promptly did so, but at the same time
he told Whiteman that he was almost
starved and asked if he couldn’t get
him something to eat.
Whiteman took him into the home
of Robert Bloom and got him his
breakfast but as he finished eating he
whipped out the stolen revolver and
fired at the guard. Whiteman ducked
out of the house with Hall after him.
The convict ran for the mountain and
Whiteman took two pot shots at him,
one of which he believed took effect,
but Hall made his escape. He spent
ten days or longer on Muncy moun-
tain up in the neighborhood of the
Schad improvement, but although
guards from the penitentiary literally
scoured the mountain they failed to
find him. He finally made his way to
Altoona and on June 24th shot a po-
liceman in the shoulder when the lat-
ter attempted to arrest him.
He was finally captured on July
12th, tried at the November term of
court in Hollidaysburg and sent up
for two years. He is now back in the
Centre county jail to answer to the
charge of escaping but he asserts that
he will not plead guilty but stand for
trial. And he further asserts that he
wants service on fifteen of his fellow
convicts as witnesses to prove that he
was justified in escaping. Just what
the outcome will be remains to be
seen, but it will doubtless finally end
with Hall going back for another
good-sized term. ’

Increase in Occupation Valuations,
County Commissioners have set a new
valuation on the various professions,
trades and occupations, but it is rath-
er doubtful if the new will meet with
as much satisfaction asthe old, be-
cause in the majority of instances it
has been an increase which will mean
| an increase in the taxes next year on
| non-property owners. Included in the
new list of occupations are those of
women which will run from $25 for'a
waitress to $200 for a milliner. . Un-
der the present rate of millage a mil-
liner will be obliged to pay a total tax
of about ten dollars, instead of the
fifteen cents paid this year for the
privilege of voting. Following is''a
