Young Lady Seriously Injured in
Motor Accident.
Miss Miriam Lee, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Lee, of Snydertown,
was seriously injured in an automo-
bile accident on east Bishop street,
Bellefonte, shortly before four o’clock
on Sunday afternoon and at this writ-
ing is in a critical condition at the!
Bellefonte hospital. Miss Lee was
one of a party of nine young people
from down Nittany valley who were
just starting home from a trip to
Bellefonte when the accident happen-
ed.
The car was driven by Lee Strunk,
who had come to Bellefonte to meet a
train and brought the other young
people along for the ride. Naturally
the car was crowded and Miss Lee
was sitting on the knees of one of the
other occupants of the car. At the up-
per end of Bishop street she decided to
change her position and in getting up
accidentally knocked the hat of the.
driver of the car forward over his
face. In grabbing for his hat he par-
tially lost control of the steering
wheel but no sooner had he replaced
his hat than it was again accidentally
pushed forward over his eyes and be-
ing unable to see he ran off the road
and side-swiped a telephone pole near
the Frank Deitrick home.
The impact strippel the top
almost completely off the machine
and Miss Lee was caught and pulled
cut between the car and telephone
pole, being badly crushed. Huston
Kanarr, of Howard, also sustained a
fractured arm, all the others escaping
without injury. Miss Lee was hastily
carried into a nearby house and phy-
sicians summoned. Her parents were
also notified and at once came to
Bellefonte. The seriousness of her
condition was at once apparent and
she was taken to the Bellefonte hos-
pital where everything possible is be-
ing done for her. Miss Lee, by the
way, is one of Centre county’s efficient
school teachers, and has had charge
of the Hecla school.
Mr. Kanarr, who suffered a frac-
tured arm, was given attention at the
hospital then taken to his home at
Howard. The car, which was badly
damaged, was pulled into Bellefonte
for repair.
Brakeman Crushed to Death.
William D. Nearhoof, of Tyrone, a
brakeman on the Tyrone division of |
the Pennsylvania railroad, fell from
his train at Osceola Mills on the morn-
ing of December 24th, and was so bad-
ly injured that he died at the Cottage
State hospital, Philipsburg, the same
day. Nearhoof was braking on a
freight train and when he went to
work that morning he stated that he
felt as if he was going to have an ac-
cident. At Osceola Mills he was on
the ninth car from the engine when
the drawhead on that car broke caus-
ing the train to pull apart. He was
thrown to the track and run over. In
addition to both legs being crushed he
sustained a fractured skull.
The unfortunate young man was a
son of Mrs. Alice Nearhoof and was
born in upper Bald Eagle valley. He
graduated at the Worth township
High school in 1917 and shortly there-
after came to Bellefonte and enlisted
in Troop L for service in the world
war. Training at Camp Hancock he
went to France early in 1918 and was
in service on the Vesle, Aisne, in the
Argonne and Ypres-Lys. He return-
ed home in May, 1919, and most of he
time since had lived in Tyrone. On
August 18th, 1920, he was married to
Lenora Gault, of Tyrone, who sur-
vives. Deceased was only twenty-
one years of age.
Funeral services were held in the
United Brethren church of Tyrone, of
which he was a member, on Sunday
afternoon, December 26th, by Rev. E.
G. Sawyer, after which burial was
made in the Grandview cemetery, Ty-
rone.

JOHN Q. MILES,
[From a photopraph taken 5 years ago.]
MILES.—John Q. Miles, a former
treasurer of Centre county and for
more than half a century one of the
best known men of Bald Eagle valley,
passed away last Thursday evening at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. O. D.
Eberts at Martha Furnace, following
an illness of some months with arte-
rio-sclerosis. In fact his ailment dat-
ed back a number of years and several
years ago his condition was so bad
that his death was momentarily ex-
pected. In fact, his death was report-
ed to this office and an account of
same was ready to put in type when
the report was contradicted. Mr.
| Miles made a wonderful recovery and
i on his next trip to Bellefonte he was
| permitted to read his prematurely
| prepared obituary. Being possessed
i of wonderful vitality he was up and
around until a few months ago when
he was finally compelled to take to his
bed from which he was never able to
rise again.
Deceased was a son of John and
Elizabeth Wilson Miles and was born
at New Millport, Clearfield county, on
March 17th, 1843, hence was 77 years,
8 months and 7 days old. His ances-
try dates back to revolutionary fame.
When his great-grandfather, General
Samuel Miles, was mayor of Philadel-
phia in 1757 he showed such ability
and courage during his military career
that the Governor of the colony sent
him an ensign’s commission in the
troop of Pennsylvania. Mr. Miles’
father, John Miles, was born in the
arsenal at Philadelphia. As a young
man he came to Centre county with
his uncle and assisted in the building
and operation of Centre furnace and
iron works. In fact they
founded Milesburg which was named
after the family. John Miles later lo-
cated in Clearfield county and it was
there that John Q. first saw the light
i of day and received his education in
the public schools. When the Civil
war broke out in 1861 he promptly
| gave proof of his courage and patriot-
ism by enlisting at Lumber City Sep-
tember 20th, 1861, as a private in
Company I, 84th Pennsylvania volun-
teers, though only eighteen years of
age. He made a brave and gallant
soldier but after nine month’s service
he was stricken with a fever which
left him in such a weakened and debil-
itated condition that he was discharg-
ed at Winchester, Va. May 22nd,
1862. Returning home he came to
Centre county im May of that year and
went to work on a farm in Bald Eagle
valley. Three years later he married
Miss Lydia A. Richards, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Richards, and
they at once went to housekeeping on
the old Richards farm where he spent
the greater part of his life tilling the
soil. In politics Mr. Miles was a
staunch Democrat and in 1893 he was
elected county teasurer, a position he
filled with care and fidelity for three
years, during which time he made
Bellefonte his home. At the comple-
tion of his term of office he returned
to the farm where he lived until his
retirement a few years ago.
Mr. Miles was a most genial com-
panion at all times and under all cir- |
cumstances. Optimistic by nature he
never allowed the trials and tribula-
tions of life to annoy or disturb him,
and hard luck stories had little appeal |
to him, though no man was easier |
touched or a more liberal contributor
to cases of genuine charity. Bluff and
hearty in his conversation he was pos-
sessed of a deep vein of humor that
appealed alike to friend and stranger. |
Mr. Miles came of a family of Bap- |
tists, four of his near relatives being '
ministers of that church, and he was
always a liberal supporter of the
i
|
Miles personally is due much of the
credit for the erection of the Baptist |
church at Port Matilda.
Mrs. Miles passed away a number
of years ago but surviving him are
three children, Mrs. O. D. Eberts, of
Hall, and John B. Miles, on the old
homestead farm. His only surviving
sister is Mrs. Sarah Smith, of Wil-
kinsburg. Two brothers, George W.
and S. S. Miles, preceded him to the
grave.
Funeral services at one o’clock on
George G. Fink, were honorary pall-
bearers.

New Picture Theatre for State College
Announcement has been made this
“week by Maurice Baum of his inten-
‘tion to erect in the near future a new
' theatre at State College which will
have a seating capacity of twelve hun-
dred people and facilities for doubling
its size if the demands warrant it in
the future. This announcement fol-
‘lowed close upon another announce-
' ment that he had disposed of the State
College store of Sim the Clothier to
"H. L. Long, of Karthaus, who took
charge early in December, though the
change was not officially announced
until the beginning of the new year.
Mr. Long was formerly an employee
1 past year he has spent at Karthaus.
At present the store is in charge of
Ben Meek, but Mr. Long eventually
expects to take charge of it himself.
Mr. Baum disposed of the store with
the sole idea of devoting his entire
time to his moving picture business,
which is conducted under the name of
the Nittany Theatre company. He al-
ready has two motion picture houses
at the College, the Pastime and the
Nittany, but the town has already
outgrown their capacity, hence the
intention to erect a new theatre of the
most modern style. According to the
announcement ground for same will
soon be broken on College avenue be-
tween the Times office and the First
National bank building. The building
will be of the Adam style exterior
with interior decorations and furnish-
ings of the same period. It will be of
fireproof construction throughout. No
steps will be attached to the building
in any way, all entrances being by in-
cline stairways, even to the balconies,
No radiators will be used in heating,
the indirect system to be installed,
with a constant change of air, heated
in the winter and cooled in the sum-
mer. The building will be equipped
with lounge and rest rooms and all
modern conveniences. A large and
| expensive pipe organ will be installed,
| as appropriate music will be made a
| feature of all the programs in the
| new theatre.

| The value of vocational training in
‘agriculture was strikingly demon- |
| strated at the annual corn, apple and
! potato show held in Bellefonte on De-
| cember 23rd by the Farm Bureau
when four out of the six prizes offer-
ed for best ehxibits were won by boys
from vocational schools. Boys won
the three first prizes and one second,
notwithstanding the fact that quite a
number of exhibits had been entered.
The awards were as follows:
Corn—First prize on White Cap to
Harry Burd, of the Aaronsburg high
school. Second prize on Yellow Dent
to W. C. Smeltzer, Bellefonte.
Potatoes—First prize on Rural New
Yorkers to Biron Decker, Spring
Mills vocational school. Second on
Rural New Yorkers to Ward Hoster-
man, of the Aaronsburg high school.
Gray, of the
school.
James I. Thompson, Lemont.
. It looks good for the future of Cen-
tre county agriculture to have the
boys come to the front in a show open
to every farmer in Centre county, and
it is to be hoped that they will keep
up their interest and make an even
better showing next year.
Port Matilda high
The Katzenjammer Kids.
The third edition of the great car-
toon musical comedy, “The Katzen-
jammer Kids,” will be offered for
‘public approval at the opera house,
Saturday evening, January 8th. The
offering is the joint work of John P.
‘ Mulgrew and Donald H. Bestor. The
company of artists who participate in
the triumph of this musical melange
leave little to be desired. They have
been chosen by the management with
i as great care as Mr. Ziegfeld displays
| when he selects his prinicpals and
! chorus for his celebrated “Follies.”
| The music is particularly catchy
and delightful, and the apex of suc-
| cess is certainly reached when the
' people hum and whistle the tunes as
i they leave the theatre. The Society
Bathing number discloses a shapely
! bevy af beauties who really can sing
| and dance. :
| There are many solo and ensemble
numbers, any one of which would en-
. sure the success of the average music-
al comedy, particularly the “Classicus
Versus Ragtime” number in which
four of the principals take part, and
the effect introduced of dividing the
audience into two sections—two of
the artists selecting the classic and
operatic numbers, the other two
choosing the syncophated, jazzy, rag-
time numbers, provokes a tumult of
laughter and applause.

During the year 1921 there will be
| four eclipses, two of the sun and two
i of the moon. The first, an annular

——A persistent rumor has been in
circulation in Bellefonte this week
i that the Nittany Inn, at State College,
| has been purchased by a New York
party who at present owns a hotel in
| Bedford, Pa., and a chain of garages
throughout the country. According
| to the rumor the Inn is to be entirely
remodeled. All the store rooms are to
be torn out on the first floor and the
dining room and kitchen moved down-
stairs, which will afford very much
more space for rcoms on the second
floor. The “Watchman” failed in get-
ting either a confirmation or denial
of the rumor from the present man-
agement of the Inn, but it is positive-
| ly known that the party credited with
making the purchase has been endeav-
{ oring for some time to get property

of such companies, and this will be
