Philipsburg Man Killed in Auto Ac- |
cident.
Returning home from a pleasure |
ride into Bald Eagle valley on Sunday |
morning Isaiah Curtin Beatty, of |
North Philipsburg, was instantly kill- |
ed when the car in which he was a |
passenger overturned on the mountain
road just above Flat Rock, and his |
neck was broken when he was caught
and pinned under the car. |
Mr. and Mrs. Beatty were guests of |
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Comley who, |
with their son Merle and daughter!
Jean and ten year old Lena Goss, mo-
tored over the mountain early in the
morning to the home of Mr. Comley’s
brother, Ellwood Comiey and family,
at Unionville. They were on their
way home and at the steep point in the
mountain just above Flat Rock Mr.
Comley attempted to change into low
gear and killed his motor. The car at
once started backwards down the
steep mountain and to avert going
over the embankment Mr. Comley
steered the car into the bank at the
right side of the road. Unfortunately
the car had already gained considera-
ble speed and instead of stopping the
right rear wheel ran up on the bank
and the car upset. All the occupants
were caught beneath it.
Mr. Comley managed to kick one of
the front doors open and crawl-
ed out then by lifting on the side of
the car released the two women and
children, none of whom were seriously
hurt. While Mr. Comley lifted on the
car the two women pulled Mr. Beatty
out from beneath it, but he was al-
ready dead, and it later developed that
his neck was broken and skull fractur-
ed, so that death must have been in-
stantaneous. Word was at once sent
to the Flat Rock club house a short
distance away and cars were obtained
there to convey the entire party to
Philipsburg.
Mr. Beatty was a son of Isaiah and
Harriet Beaty and was born in Hus-
ton township on September 22nd,
1860, hence was in his sixty-first year.
He was a miner by occupation and is
survived by his wife, his mother and
one sister, Mrs. Robert M. Emigh, of
Patton. He was a member of the
Church of Christ, the Moose and Ea-
gles. Burial was made in the Phil-
ipsburg cemetery on Tuesday after-
noon.
Kennett Square Woman Killed in!
Railroad Accident. |
Mrs. Helen Walker, of Kennett
Square, daughter of former State Sen-
ator Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware |
county, and a sister-in-law of Mr. and
Mrs. John S. Walker, of Bellefonte,
was instantly killed by a train on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Menden-
hall, Chester county, late Sunday
night, when she leaped from an auto- |
mobile after it had stalled on the
railroad tracks.
Mrs. Walker, with her husband, Wil-
liam Walker, and their two children,
William and Elizabeth, were on their
way home from spending the day with
friends at Chad’s Ford. As they near-
ed the Mendenhall crossing “Mr. Walk-
er reduced the speed of his machine, |
remarking at the time that it was a
dangerous crossing. When the car
was halfway across the tracks it
stalled and almost instantly the head-
light of an approaching train flashed
into view. Mrs. Walker, who was in the
rear seat with her three year old
daughter, leaped from the car and as
she did so threw her baby down the
embankment. Almost at the same
time Mr. Walker got the machine
started and shot off the tracks just as
the train thundered by in the rear.
He stopped as quickly as possible and
looked around to speak to his wife but
was horrified to discover that she and
the baby were missing, and this was
the first knowledge he had that she
had jumped from the car.
A search disclosed her dead body
and also the baby safe except for a
few scratches and bruises. In jump-
ing Mrs. Walker evidently alighted on
the track and had not time to get out
of the way of the swiftly moving
train. The unfortunate woman's hus-
band, William Walker, will be remem-
bered by many people in Bellefonte as
he was in business here several years
in the latter nineties. He is now a
seed merchant in Philadelphia.
Conference of School Directors.
A conference of school directors of
Pennsylvania in co-operation with the
. State Department of Public Instruc-
tion will be held at State College on
Thursday and Friday, July 7th and
8th. An excellent program has been
prepared for the occasion which in-
cludes among the speakers some of
the leading educators in the county.
Morning and afternoon sessions will
be held each day of the conference.
— Nominally speaking Tuesday
was the longest day of the year and
the beginning of summer. The spring
season this year made a record for cool
weather and the limited rainfall. In
fact there has not been one good, old-.
fashioned steady rain this year, the
entire rainfall consisting of thunder
RUNKLE.—Mrs. Margaret Cohn
Runkle, widow of the late Jacob L.
Runkle, died at her home in Youngs-
town, Ohio, last Thursday evening.
Early in January her son Joseph died
quite unexpectedly and shortly there-
after Mrs. Runkle became ill without
any apparent cause and her death was
assigned to grief over the loss of her
son.
She was a daughter of William and
Bridget Loughrey Cohn and was born
in Ireland upwards of seventy years
ago. She came to this country when
a child and when she grew to woman-
hood was married to Mr. Runkle.
Their early married life was spent in
Pennsvalley, later moving to Belle-
fonte, and after living here a score of
years moved to Youngstown, Ohio. Mr.
Runkle died a number of years ago,
but surviving her are three sons and |
one daughter, namely: William, of
San Francisco; Miss May, at home; .
of |
Lee, in Mexico, and Charles,
Youngstown. She also leaves one sis-
ter, Mrs. Fox, in Philadelphia. The
remains, accompanied by her brother- ;
in-law, Michael Healy, and nephew,
Father Francis Healy, were brought

taken to the home of Mr. Martin
Cooney. Funeral services were held
in the Catholic church at ten o’clock

ial was made in the Catholic cemetery.

MYERS.—Mrs. Florinda Jane My-
ers, wife of W. J. Myers, passed away
at her home at Alexandria at four
o'clock on Sunday morning of general
debility. She was a daughter of John
and Mary Hewitt Konode and was
born in Hartslog valley on February
25th, 1845, hence was in her seventy-
seventh year. On April 17th, 1875,
she was married to W. J. Myers, and
for many years they resided in Fergu-
son township, this county, moving to
Alexandria only a few years ago. She

Anent the Passenger Pigeon.
Several weeks ago the “Watchman”
carried an article about the passing
away of the passenger pigeon, a fact
regretted by both hunters and natur-
alists. This week’s mail brought a
letter to this office from J. W. Young,
of Kerrmoor, who says that he re-
members some fifty or sixty years ago
when pigeons were so plentiful that
they were a pest to the farmers. In
' those days all kids of grain was sowed
by hand and harrowed into the ground,
and the pigeons were so tame they
would follow the harrow and pick up
all the grain that remained uncovered.
They were also very fond of buck-
| wheat and in the fall of the year, Mr.
| Young says, he has seen whole fields
| literally beaten to the ground by the
| pigeons. As a boy he would take his
| father’s gun and slip out to the fields,
| make a noise to scare up the pigeons
| then shoot into the flocks. Thé flocks
i were so dense that one shot would
{ bring down a number of birds. The
| pigeons were also very fond of poke

Peters Families Hold Fourth Annual
Reunion.
The fourth annual reunion of the
Peters families was held in Kohlbeck- |
er's woods, near Milesburg, Saturday,
June 18th. In spite of the stormy
weather Friday evening the gather-
ing was well attended. At an early
hour the people began to assemble,
bringing with them baskets laden with
all sorts of good things to eat. Those
who came from the direction of Belle-
fonte had to walk from Milesburg to
the grove, as the state road is under
construction. The others took their
automobiles to the entrance of the
grounds. But it made no difference
how they came, all were glad they
were there.
newing old acquaintances and talking
over the scenes and doings of their
childhood, a couple of young women
took the children off by themselves
and played games with them. “Lucy
Locket” seemed to be the most inter-
esting for it was not long until some
of the other folks decided they wanted
to play it, too.
At noon the baskets were unpacked
and the contents placed upon one long
table. Many declared they had been
saving up for this occasion for a week.
And, indeed. one would have thought
so, to have seen some people eat.
There was an abundance of everything
in the eating line. After the tables
had been cleared, Mr. Orvis Peters,
the president, called the people togeth-
. er for the afternoon’s program. Grant

‘a splendid thing. We are living a
| other if we do not have times for get-
| ting together. It makes one happy to
meet the friends of childhood.
The Rev. W. W. Reeder, of Storms- |
| town, the next speaker, put everybody
| in a good humor with his many stories
{ of Mike and Rastus. In his address
| he spoke of building up the forests,
the government, and the Sunday
school. This very important work
takes time, brains, labor, money, sac-
Family reunions can help in this work.
A very interesting letter from J. L.
Peters, of West Liberty, Iowa, was
read by Clarence Peters. Miss Eliz-
abeth Peters, of Lewistown, recited
some poetry about trees, which was
appropriate to the place and in line
of thought with the addresses of the
afternoon. Mary Eckenroth and
Edith Swartz also recited very well.
Following the program the business
! session was held. The following offi-
| cers were elected for the coming year:
President, William F. Peters; vice
| president, Samuel Weaver; secretary,
E. M. Peters; treasurer, Frank Peters.
| It was decided that the president
should appoint a social committee to
young and old in the way of sports
and games for the next reunion.
A vote of thanks was extended the
women for the excellent dinner they
had served, and the meeting adjourn-
ed until next year.
Many stayed for supper, making the
day last as long as possible. It was
the general opinion of the crowd that
the fourth reunion was a success, the
best one yet.
ONE WHO WAS THERE.
a.
Gardeners in Bellefonte and
farmers in some portions of Centre
county got what they have long been
hoping for on Wednesday in a real
downpour of rain, but the weather
man must have it in for the people in
Buffalo Run valley, especially in the
neighborhood of Waddle, where it did
not rain a drop.
Burgess W. Harrison Walker
has requested the “Watchman” to call
attention to the fact that the procla-
mation recently issued regarding the
prohibition of fireworks before the
Fourth of July or after that date will
be strictly enforced.
Another Drop in Price of Kerosene.
Another cut in the price of kerosene
oil has just been announced by the At-
lantic Refining company. This latest
step in the downward trend of kero-
sene prices puts the price from tank
wagons at 12 cents per gallon. This
figure amounts to a 40 per cent. re-
duction which has been effected since
last February.
From February 26, 1920, to Febiu-
ary 3 of this year, the Atlantic Refin-
ing company’s price of kerosene was
steady at 20 cents per gallon. The
price was cut three cents during Feb-
ruary and another cent in March.
These reductions were followed by a
two-cent drop in May. Two more
cents during the present month have
brought the price to 12 cents.
Because of the wide use of kerosene
oil throughout the agricultural sec-
tions of Pennsylvania and Delaware,
this new fall in prices will be of real
interest to farmers. Although trac-
tors are standard equipment on almost
every modern farm in these regions,
it 1s reported there has been a notice-
able tendency on the part of their
owners to revert to horses because of
the price of kerosene for fuel. This
has been true even in recent months
because of a general impression that
kerosene was still selling at 22 to 25
cents a gallon. The new 12-cent low
level will come to them as a pleasant
surprise.
The reduction will be welcomed as
enthusiastically by the farmer’s wife.
In the districts beyond the gas pipe
and electric wire, kerosene oil stoves
are used widely to replace the coal
range in summer. With the new
price, it will be easily possible for
housewives to do their cooking with
kerosene, and remain free from the
discomfort of working near a coal or
wood stove during the hot summer
months.

Soldiers Memorial for Milesburg.
Milesburg is to have a soldiers mon-
ument and we know of no place in the
| county more worthy of such a memor-
‘ial. A movement looking to this end
has been started by Toner Hugg, of
that place, and as now planned the
monument will be put up on the green
at the head of Water street, just
across from the big power plant of
. the State-Centre Electric company.
The monument will be a triangle of
concrete faced with buff brick, each
side of the triangle to be eight feet
| long and eight feet high. Surmount-
{ing the triangle will be the figure of
! a doughboy, six feet, three inches
high, carved out of Italian marble.
| On the front of the triangle will be a
| bronze plate bearing the names of the
t soldiers in the world war. Bronze
plates will adorn the other two sides
of the triangle, one of them contain-
ing the names of Civil war veterans
and the other those who served in the
Spanish-American war.
The material for the base has al-
ready been arranged for, most of
which will be donated to the worthy
cause, while those in charge expect
soon to place the order for the marble
figure of the doughboy. This, of
course, will cost considerable money,
and while the people of Milesburg do
| not expect to go a begging for money
| to pay for their mounment, they will
| not refuse to accept any voluntary con-
tributions given. Mr. O- E. Miles has
| been appointed treasurer of the fund
land any one feeling disposed to give
\ anything should send direct to him.
The churches apd civic organiza-
tions of Milesburg have united in an
effort to help raise the money and
Frank L. Wetzler has volunteered the
services of his famous Boys band to
help along in the campaign. As now
planned the band will give weekly con-
certs in Bellefonte, on the band stand
in the Diamond, probably Saturday
nights, and on those occasions volun-
tary contributions will be received.
No definite amount will be asked but
anything from a penny up will be ap-
preciated.
It is hardly necessary for the
“Watchman” to call attention to the
fact that during the war no other com-
raunity in Centre county excelled the
people of Milesburg in patriotism. In
every drive made, whether it was Lib-
erty loan, Red Cross, or for some oth-
er good cause, they always went over
the top of their quota, sometimes giv-
ig double their portion; and everybody
in Bellefonte recalls how Mr. Wetzler
and his band were always on hand, no
matter what the hour, to escort the
soldier boys to the train, or appear in
any patriotic parade. Because of this
fact the public generally should give
them a hearty response now. .
— Last Saturday evening Miss
Verna Lingle, of Tusseyville, aged
nineteen years, started a fire in the
kitchen range for the purpose of pre-
paring supper for the family, using
some sticks of wood her father had
cut and taken into the house a short
time previous. A few minutes later
there was an explosion and the young
woman received several buckshot in
her legs just above the knees. She
was brought to the Bellefonte hospital
where the leaden pellets were removed.
The only explanation of the accident is
that a buckshot shell must have be-
come imbedded in the wood in some
way and was discharged by the heat
of the fire. While her wounds are not
regarded as serious, they are quite
painful.

Milesburg Presbyterian church on
Sunday, June 26th, at two o’clock p.

attend.
Draw Pay for Reading Dime Novels.
From the Huntingdon Monitor.
The present administration is keep-
ing 30,000 useless officeholders in
Washington, due to the fact that Con-
gress refused to cut the appropriation
from which they derive their salaries.
There are thousands of persons on the
clerical payroll of the government at
Washington who do nothing more than
read dime novels and draw their pay
since the Republican party is in pow-
er.
