better fire fighting apparatus for the
Bellefonte firemen and as evidence
that they are willing to practice what
they preach they will give ten per
cent. of their gross sales tomorrow

——The high and muddy condition
of the waters in the various streams
of Centre county are at least conserv-
ing the trout in the streams. For
about two weeks now the waters have
been so high and muddy that trout
fishing has literally been at a stand-
still. The fishermen, however, will
doubtless make up for it later when
conditions become more favorable.
Owing to the frequent postof-
fice robberies of late the Postoffice De-
partment has made a ruling that in
the future at least one employee in
every postoffice must carry a firearm
soras to be prepared for any emergen-
cy. The Department does not desig-
nate whether the postmaster or one of
his subordinates shall carry the weap-
on, probably leaving that up to the
postmaster to decide.
= The two Foreign Missionary
societies of the Bellefonte Presbyter-
ian church, have sent two hundred and
eigthy-five yards of gauze in surgic-
al dressings to the Dr. Wanless hos-
pital at Miraz, India. The Foreign
Missionary societies of the Presbyter-
ian church of America are now con-
tributing all supplies to these hos-
pitals, and the first shipment from the
church here, is their share of the quo-
ta of the Huntingdon Presbytery.
The circus has been here and
gone but the Scenic is with us always.
Other attractions are good for a day
or an\‘evening’s diversion but for en-
tertainment and amusement every
evening in the week the Scenic, with
its motion pictures, is the only depen-
dable place in Bellefonte. Open
every evening except Sunday and no
better line of motion pictures can be
seen anywhere than is shown at the
Scenic. If you are not a regular, you
ought to be.
The regular session of May
term of court will be held next week,
but as it looks now it will not be a
very long one. There are several ser-
ious cases on the criminal list but
neither of them is likely to come up
at this session of court, while the oth-
er cases on the quarter sessions list
are principally of a petty character.
One or more cases on the common
pleas list have already been settled
and it is not likely that many such
cases will be ready for trial.
Dr, W. K. McKinney and elder
James H. Potter were over at Centre
Hall on Tuesday evening attending a
reception given by the Presbyterian
congregation of that place to their
new pastor, Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick
and wife. All the ministers from Cen-
tre Hall and a delegation from Spring
Mills were present and the new minis-
ter and wife were made to feel that
not only his own congregation but the
people of Centre Hall generally are
back of him in his great work for the
good of the community.
Before the next issue of the
“Watchman” reaches its readers the
Bellefonte Academy minstrels will
have given their initial performance,
which will be next Thursday evening,
May 19th. The young men and young
women who will take part this year
have been practicing for weeks and
have their parts down letter perfect.
So many new songs, jokes and other
features will be introduced this year
that the entertainment will surely
eclipse any former performance.
Don’t fail to get your tickets in time
for the opening performance.
——Late Monday night a report was
current on the streets that a man had
been killed on his way home from at-
tending the Main circus, but the re-
port evidently was based on the find-
ing of Craig Grassmire, of Curtin, ly-
ing unconscious along the road about
midway between Milesburg and Cur-
tin. At first it was thought he had
been hit by an automobile but no evi-
dence was found to prove this theory
and it is likely that the man was over-
come with his long walk and fell un-
conscious by. the roadside. He was
taken home and the next day was all
right.
YOUNG GIRL KILLED BY AUTO.
Helen Shuey, of Lemont, Victim of
Circus Day Accident.
On Monday Mrs. John Shuey and
daughter Helen, of Lemont, came to
Williams to see the Walter L. Main
show. Immediately after the close of
the afternoon performance they start-
ed for their car, which was parked
along the state road about one hun-
dred feet this side of the entrance to
the old fair grounds, where the circus
was held. In order to reach the car
and the girl ran across the road. Mrs.
Williams made the trip in safety but
driven by Thomas Gill, of Julian, shot
first, then Mrs. Shuey,
, of them thought the car passed over
| both people they were not positively
sure of it. But both Mrs. Shuey and
her daughter were pushed along the
hard roadway some five or six feet un-
“til the girl was rolled under the run-
ning board of the car just ahead of
the Williams car.
This car happened to be that of
Harry Struble, of College township,
who, with his wife, had just reached
| the car before the accident. Mr. Stru-
, ble, at the coroner’s inquest, stated
_ that he was standing alongside his car
and saw the Gill car shoot around the
curve in the state road. That the
driver of the car had plenty of room
to pass the women but instead he
, made no effort to do so but drove right
| into them. As soon as the car passed
{ Mr. Struble jumped to the aid of the
| women, first helping up Mrs. Shuey
and then picking up the girl. It was
, evident at once that she was very
, badly hurt and Mr. Struble carried her
in his arms to another car, got in and
| was driven quickly to the Bellefonte
; hospital. Mrs. Shuey was also taken
i to the hospital. Dr. Dale was at the
hospital and a hurried examination of
"the girl showed that she had received
fatal injuries, her skull being fractur-
ed from the top of the head down the
| right side to the middle of the ear,
| while she had an abrasion on the left
! temple aud a laceration on her right
| leg. The accident happened about
4:20 o’clock and just two hours later
the girl passed away. Mrs. Shuey
suffered from shock and lacerations
of the right ear and hands, but was
able to be taken home the same even-
ing.
Gill, the driver of the car that hit
the women, made no effort to get
away, and was somewhat confused
after the accident. He was promptly
placed under arrest and taken to jail
to await the outcome of the girl’s in-
juries. fter her death ’Squire S.
Kline Woodring, acting coroner, em-
panneled a jury consisting of L.
Frank Mayes, Wallace Markle, Rob-
ert Cronemiller, George Eberhart, W.
« W. Witmer and Milton Straub, who
viewed the body and the place of the
accident then adjourned until Tues-
day afternoon when evidence was tak-
en at the office of Mr. Woodring. A
number of witnesses were heard and
the preponderance of the evidence was
against the driver of the car. Gill was
on his way home from Bellefonte and
witnesses who saw the car before the
women were hit and also those who
saw the accident aver that he was
driving at the rate of from twenty to
i twenty-five miles an hour. He had
his father, George Gill, in the car
with him, also a ten year old boy.
| Officers who examined the car after
the accident found a broken steering
rod and both brakes defective. The
Bellefonte with Mr. and Mrs. Frank | arrive in Cleveland by 11 a. m.
wheel.
: Aairplane Mail from Bellefonte.
Beginning Monday, May 16th, Belle-
fonte will send a pouch of first class
mail to Cleveland and points in the
west as far as San Francisco. The
mail here will close at 8 a. m. and will

San Francisco by 3:25 the next after-
noon.

A special dinner was the
enty-two guests were served. This
week the house has been doing almost
a capacity business, showing that
there is a demand for two first-class
hotels in Bellefonte. As an incident of
his venture into the hotel business
manager Landsy on Monday received
a letter from Major C. G. McMillen,
of Dayton, Ohio, who stated that just
forty years ago to the day he took
charge of the same hotel and he wish-
ed Mr. Landsy the same measure of
success that he had during his years as
landlord. He further stated that he
expects to be in Bellefonte over the
4th of July and asked to be remember-
ed to all his old friends.
——On Monday J. T. Sellers and
family, of Mingoville, motored to
Bellefonte to see the circus. After the
performance they loaded up, ten of
them and started home. On nearing
the road that turns in to Hecla Mr.
Sellers tooted his horn and held out
his arm as a signal that he was going
in that road and just as he was in the
act of making the turn a high power
car swept by him to the right, tearing
a fender off of his car and bestowing
such an impact that Mr. Sellers al-
most lost control of the steering
Two seconds later and the big
car would have hit the Sellers machine
broadside and with that family of ten
in the machine it isn’t hard to imagine
the tragedy that would have resulted.
As it was the Sellers car was consid-
erably damaged and the family badly
frightened, while the driver of the big
car never stopped or even slowed up
to see what damage he had done.
Passing any car on the right is
against all road rules while passing
it after the driver has given a signal
for turning off at that point is a most
flagrant violation of the law and offi-
cers of the law are endeavoring to
trace the car and bring the driver to
justice. Th
Montzello Released on Suspended
Sentence.
At a brief session of court yester-
day afternoon Charles Montzello, the
Italian who several weeks ago stabbed
Guy Bonfatto, was released on a sus-
pended sentence pending his good be-
havior. The suspension was made at
the request of Bonfatto who was even
willing to withdraw the prosecution
because of the fact that Montzello has
a wife and four small children de-
pendent upon him for support, but the |
case was too serious a one to permit of
its withdrawal and after telling the
young Italian of the gravity of his of-
fense and cautioning him as to what
would happen if he did not live with-
:in the law in the future, the court sus-
broken rod may have been the result
"of the accident, but the brakes were
. worn out and would not hold the car,
which may account for the speed at
which he was going. After hearing
“all the evidence the jury returned a
, verdict in effect that the girl met her
. death by being hit with an automobile
i driven in a reckless and careless man-
"ner by one Thomas Gill. This means
‘that the young man will be held for
' the killing of the girl.
i Helen Shuey, the unfortunate girl,
‘was the only child of Mr. and Mrs.
| John Shuey and would have been thir-
teen years old next August. She was
large for her age and an unusually
bright and intelligent girl. In addi-
tion to her parents she is survived by
a number of step-brothers and sisters,
{ as both Mr. and Mrs. Shuey had been
! married before they were joined in
matrimony. In fact the family seems
to be ill-fated as to accidents. Two
years ago one of Mrs. Shuey’s sons by
her first marriage was electrocuted
at State College and about three
weeks ago another of her sons was
College, while it has not been very
long ago that Mr. Shuey was painful-
ly hurt in an accident.
Funeral services for the young girl
were held at her late home at ten
o'clock yesterday morning by Rev. M.
C. Piper, of the Methodist church, of
which she was a member, after which
burial was made in the Branch ceme-
tery.

Bellefonte Girl Rescues Child from
Drowning. :
Miss Catherine Kane, who works
for the Pennsylvania Match company,
rescued a little child from drowning
in Spring creek, right above the falls
one day last week, and although she is
so modest as to declaim any heroism
in doing so and has even kept very
quiet about it it was an act that im-
pels admiration and should not go un-
told. Miss Kane every morning goes
to the postoffice for the Match compa-
ny mail and it was on one of her trips
i last week that her attention was at-
badly hurt in a motor accident at the
tracted by something red in the creek.
Looking closely she saw it was a
child’s red sweater and was horrified
to see that there was a child inside
of it.
Did she go into hysterics or scream
for help as most girls would have
done? She did not, but promptly
crawled over the railing at the falls
and waded up-stream to the child, lift-
ing it carefully and tenderly out of the
water and depositing it safely on the
stone pavement. She then crawled
out and as soon as she had delivered
the child to the nearest house uncon-
cernedly walked home and changed
into dry clothing.
The child proved to be little Eddie
Zong, aged two and a half years,
whose parents live out back of Curtin
street, and who had wandered away
from home, gone out south Water
street and fallen into the water. Had
it not been for Miss Kane’s prompt ac-
tion he might have drowned.
The mother had missed her little
son and was frantically searching for
him during the time he was in the
creek. It is needless to say she was
overjoyed to have him restored to her
none the worse for his adventure.
Fighting Apparatus.
“An enthusiastic meeting of citizens
of Bellefonte was held in the court
house last Friday evening to devise
some way, if possible, for the pur-
chase of up-to-date fire fighting ap-
paratus for the Bellefonte fire depart-
ment. The meeting had been called
by members of the Logan fire compa-
ny and as a means of getting togeth-
er a representative crowd the Logans
staged a parade previous to the meet-
ing. Headed by the Odd Fellows band
the company, forty-eight strong, pa-
raded the principal streets of the
town, then marched into the court
house a few minutes after eight
o’clock. Between two and three hun-
dred people were present at the meet-
ing.
Charles M. McCurdy presided and
after announcing briefly the purpose
of the meeting called on John J. Bow-
er to tell the needs of the fire depart-
ment. Mr. Bower stated that the
greatest difficulty the firemen had to
contend with at the present time was
the inability to get the present fire
fighting apparatus to fires promptly,
because of the scarcity of horses in
town. He also stated that both en-
gines are old and out of date and while
they are capable of doing good work
for a time are liable to go bad any
miunte. He further stated that both
fire companies ought to be equipped
with triple combination pumpers, and
everything that goes with them. Only
two firms make these pumpers and the
cost is approximately $10,000, so that
to equip both fire companies would
mean an outlay of $20,000.
The next * speaker called on was
James C. Furst, who stated that as he
understood it the only reason that
council has not purchased the new ap-
paratus is because they cannot see
their way clear financially to do so.
He outlined a plan which he termed a
moral duplicate in which a regular as-
sessment be made of the various prop-
erties in Bellefonte and each individ-
ual assessed according to his proper-
ty interests, whether it be real estate
or a stock of merchandise, the amount
to be computed prorata in order to
raise the money needed. Of course,
such a duplicate would have to meet
with the approval of the people gen-
erally, as the payments would have to
be entirely voluntary.
Others who spoke in sympathy with
any movement that would secure the
desired result were Frank E. Naginey,
Hon. A. G. Morris, Dr. Schmidt and
John Blanchard Esq. Mr. Herron then
made a motion that the chairman ap-
point a committee of five to work out
some plan for the raising of the mon-
ey, which motion was put and carried.
M. R. Johnson, of the Logan Fire
company, stated that the company had
a nest egg of $1,500 which it would
give to start the fund. Mr. Morris
stated that he would put $500 to it
which would make $2,000. The meet-
ing then adjourned.
On Saturday Mr. McCurdy appoint- |
ed the committee decided upon as fol-
lows: James C. Furst, chairman; Ho-
mer P. Barnes, representing the Lo-
gan Fire company; George Carpeneto,
representing the Undines; A. Fauble,
representing the Bellefonte council,
and Charles R. Beatty. On Monday
the committee erected a booth in the
Diamond and started right in on the
work of raising the necessary funds
with which to purchase the equipment.
Will Demonstrate Triple Combination,
Pumper...
The committee having in charge the
work of raising the funds for the pur-
chase of more efficient fire fighting
equipment for the Bellefonte firemen
have made arrangements with the
Lock Haven fire department to bring
one of their triple combination pump-
ers to Bellefonte this afternoon, and
a demonstration of the effectiveness
of this kind of fire fighting apparatus
will be given at the Bush house this
(Friday) evening from 6:30 to 7:30
o'clock. Every property owner in
Bellefonte interested in having ade-
quate protection for his property, and
there is no doubt but that every one
is, should make it a point to be pres-
ent. Only by seeing one of the triple
combination pumpers at work can
they be convinced that it is the kind
of apparatus needed.
McAllister Scholarship Examination..
Each year five scholarships in The
Pennsylvania State College, which are
known as the McAllister Freshman
scholarships, are awarded on the pro-
portion of the number of students in
the College from any county to the
population of that county. They are
of the value of $90 and are awarded
after a competitive examination. Cen-
tre county has been assigned one of
these scholarships for the year 1921-
1922: The examination covering Eng-
lish grammar and composition, plane
geometry, algebra (to quadratics),
American history and civics, will be
given at the college by the committee
on college entrance June 16th and
17th, 1921.
Candidates, on arrival at the college,
will report at the Registrar’s office
for any information desired.

its, 4; nursing visits, 35; school visits

—Miss Sara Clemson returned Monday
from a ten days’ stay in Chicago, where
she had gone to make arrangements for
taking advanced piano work. Expecting
to be home on the farm near Stormstown,
until June, Miss Clemson will then return
to Chicago for the summer session at the
conservatory of music, intending to re-
main through the winter. Although hav-
ing devoted much time to music while at
Dickinson Seminary, Miss Clemson's most
pronounced advancement has been made
since going to State College.
—Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Homan, of State
College, and Mr. Homan's sister, Mrs. Os-
car Brungart, of Zion, who is visiting with
Mr. and Mrs. Homan, drove to Bellefonte
Tuesday afternoon, the women spending
the time shopping while Mr. Homan was
looking after some business interests. Mr.
and Mrs. Homan, who have lived at the
College since leaving their farm at Oak
Hall a number of years ago, spend much
of their time with the worth-while things
of life, enjoying their opportunities from
a view point which gets for them the best
there is in everything.
—Media Torsel, the pioneer Italian shoe-
maker of Bellefonte, has returned from a
nine year’s visit to Italy, and reopened his
shop on west High street. Media, as he is
best known here, has made several visits
back home with his family, all of whom
are in Italy, save one son, who accompan-
ied his father to America on his return
this time. Being compelled to remain over
there on account of the war, he has lost a
lot in his business, but being a property
owner, a tax payer and a good citizen,
Bellefonte people should lend him a help-
ing hand until he re-establishes his busi-
ness.
at ! friends out at Pleasant Gap,
part of the day here and the night with
returning
home yesterday. Mr. Gramley is still
limping a bit from the accident he met
with shortly after the burning of his barn
in Rebersburg. While helping to clean up
the ruins he stepped on a nail that pene-
trated his foot quite a depth.
The Western Maryland Dairy to Make
and Sell Butter.
Within a few days the Western
Maryland Dairy company will carry
into execution another of the plans it
anticipated when the fine plant was es-
tablished here.
At that time, it will be remembered,
it met some small opposition on the
ground that it would take milk out of
the community and consequently
cause a scarcity of milk for local con-
sumers, with the statement that al-
ways local milk men or individuals
would be given milk at the station, if
they should have difficulty in procur-
ing sufficient from other sources. The
Western Maryland has made good on
that offer.
Now it is going to make butter here.
The new refrigeration boxes, churns
and all are in place and within a few
days butter will be on the market for
the people of this community. So far
as local consumption is concerned it
is not to be manufactured for a profit.
The price to people who go to the
plant for it will be merely cost of
manuiacture. vat
This very liberal policy on the part
of the Western Maryland Dairy is in
conformity with plans announced
when they located here of securing
and holding the good will of the com-
munity.
— If the plans which are now be-
ing considered for improved airmail
service mature the Bellefonte field is
likely to prove a very busy place in
the near future. The Postoffice De-
partment is planning to put on a night
service, the ship leaving New York
after business hours in the afternoon
and delivering the mail in Chicago in
the morning. To make it feasible the
ships will be equipped with powerful
electric headlights for landing pur-
poses. Included in the plans now be-
ing considered is the resumption of air
mail service to and from Bellefonte.
