A lady of our acquaintance: is
righteously indignant because a ru-
mor is being circulated to the effect
that she has made a barrel of dande-

it distinctly understood that she didn’t
amake a barrel at all. She made only
forty-five gallons.

| MURDER IN PHILIPSBURG.
Raymond Shaw Shot by Frank Bene-
dict. Slayer in Centre Coun-
ty Jail
| Following close on the alleged mur-
der of George M. Marks, at Hannah
Furnace, a shooting occurred in Phil-
ipsburg last Friday evening and the
| result thereof was the death of Ray-
'mond Shaw, of Blue Ball, Clearfield
, county, and the arrest of his slayer,
Frank Benedict, also alleged to be a
| resident of Clearfield county, who is
now in the Centre county jail await-
ing trial on the charge of murder.
| The shooting occurred in front of
the Continental hotel, on west Pine
' street. Definite information as to the
' cause of the shooting has not been ob-
tainable. So far as can be learned the
two men were in the bar-room of the
"hotel. Benedict was the first to go
' out and stood on the pavement. When
' Shaw went out of the hotel Benedict
is alleged to have pulled a revolver
from his pocket and without a word
fired pointblank at him. The latter
did not drop but staggered back into
the bar-room and exclaimed to the |
bartender,
Shaw was hurried to the McGirk san-
itorium while Benedict calmly walked
down to the railroad where he was ar-
rested by state policeman Sterling.
Various stories have been in circu-
lation as to the cause of the shooting, '
such as a feud if several years’ stand-
ing, a dispute over who should pay
for the drinks in the hotel, but there
is nothing authentic about either ru-
mor. To a newspaper man who ques-
tioned him Benedict said he shot Shaw
because the latter was going to fight
him.
! At the sanitorium it was found that
‘ Shaw had been shot in the left side of
he abdomen, the bullet making thir-
teen perforations in its passage
through the body then lodged in the
| right side. The bullet was a 32-cali-
bre. The shooting occurred about six
'o’clock on Friday evening and Shaw
(lived until 8:12 o'clock Saturday
morning. Following his death coroner
| Heaton empanelled a jury and view-
ed the remains, the jury returning a
| verdict in effect that Shaw came to bis
death by a gunshot wound inflicted by
| “another party.” Shaw was twenty-
i five years old and bore an excellent
| reputation. He is survived by his
| wife, one brother and three sisters.
i Benedict, who claims to be a Hun-
. garian, is thirty-five years old and
;unmarried. -. He has been in this
country seventeen years. Inquiry at
Clearfield brought out the fact that
Benedict was known as a man of quar-
relsome nature and rather difficult to
get along with. He was unnaturalized
but had taken out his firt papers just
recently. He was held in Philipsburg
until Saturday afternoon when he was
brought to Bellefonte and locked in
the Centre county jail. = ;
League of Women Voters to Hold
Convention.
i of the League of Women Voters for
Centre county, will in the next few
‘days issue her official call for an an-
‘nual convention to be held in the High
"school building, Bellefonte, on Friday
| of next week, July 8th. There will be
! two sessions, from 10 to 12 a. m., and
to 4 p. m. A box luncheon will be
| served in the domestic science room
vat 12:30. .
i Miss Martha G. Thomas, state
treasurer of the organization, will «
speak in the afternoon on what the
' League has accomplished and its pres-
| ent needs. Much of the legislation
' for which the organization stood has
been enacted, but considerable work
has been planned for the coming year.

Fifty Years an Odd Fellow.
| A pleasant little incident that
brightened up the corners around the
home of W. H. Derstine, on Bishop
street, recently, was the presentation
to him of a handsomely jeweled Odd
Fellow’s insignia in commemoration
of the fiftieth anniversary of Mr.
Derstines’ membership in the order,
which happened on June 1st.
Now Bellefonte lodge has a quintet
of semi-centenarians. C. T. Gerber-
ich, Isaac Miller, Henry Armagast and
Harvey Griffith have all been wearing
the gold and red medalion suspended
from the three links of gold for some
time, and to their number is added
William H. Derstine. And, inciden-
tally, when one stops to recall just
what kind of men these five have been
and are yet in our community there
need not be much speculation as to
why the local Odd Fellows had such
a long and unsullied existence here.

——Centre countians have no cause
to complain of lack of rain this week.
Beginning on Monday there has been
a succession of hard storms every day
which have covered the entire county.

fell that fields were washed out and
corn and wheat flattened to the
ground. On Tuesday lightning struck
the C. C. Shuey home on Bishop street,
but fortunately it was a cold stroke
and did little damage. One barn up
in Ferguson township was struck and
burned to the ground. During the
hard storm on Wednesday afternoon
lightning struck the Shiloh church,
knocking off a portion of the steeple
and ripping off some of the weather
boarding. The damage done will
amount to several hundred dollars.

HR
Linn Fromm Loses Eye in Peculiar |
Accident.
Theodore Linn Fromm, chauffeur
for the American Lime and Stone
company, had the sight of his right
eye totally destroyed and was
otherwise injured in a peculiar acci-
dent late last Thursday afternoon. |
Fromm had driven the car down to the
office when he discovered that the mo-
tor was not working right. On mak-
ing an examination he discovered a
defective battery connection. Going
into the office he asked Mr. Morris for
a piece of wire. The only wire in the
office suitable was that attached to
a dynamite exploder. Mr. Morris of-
fered to cut off a piece of the wire but
Fromm demurred, saying he would
take it out to the car and measure it
first, as there was no use in wasting
more wire than was needed.
Mr. Morris thereupon cautioned
“him to be very careful as an exploder
was a dangerous thing to handle, es-
pecially for a man who knew nothing
about it. He also told him not to cut
it himself but after measuring it take
it in to him and he would cut it.
Fromm went out and in order to get a
correct measurement fastened one end
of the wire to the battery then car-
ried the wire to the tail light, which
had been out of service, and there is
where he made the fatal mistake.
He thus created a complete circuit
and the result was the explosion
of the exploder. Most of the con-
tents of the exploder struck Fromm
on the breast, inflicting painful
wounds while one sliver struck him
in the right eye, puncturing the pupil
and destroying the sight.
Hearing the explosion Mr. Morris
ran out of the office and saw Fromm
stumbling away from the machine
and with his hand over his eye. He
ran and caught him and at once saw
the seriousness of his injuries, so got .
him to the hospital as quickly as pos- |
sible. He is getting along now as well |
as can be expected. Fromm is mar-
ried and lives on north Spring street.

Harry Fogleman Badly Scalded at
State-Centre Co. Plant.
Harry Fogleman, one of the engi-
neers at the big power plant of the
State-Centre Electric company at
Milesburg, was badly scalded last
Thursday night when the four inch
steam pipe running from the battery
of boilers to the big turbine engine
burst with a loud explosion and a roar
of steam that could be heard all over
Milesburg.
The accident happened between
eight and nine o’clock in the evening.
Mr. ‘Fogleman was not in the boiler
‘robm at the time but as soon as he re-
alized what had happened he started
for the boiler room to turn off the
valve on the pipe. In going down the
steps he ran into a shower of steam
and. hot water but he went through
and turned the valve. He was later
brought to the Bellefonte hospital for
treatment. Although very painful he
was not seriously scalded and has been
getting along as well as can be ex-
pected.
As a result of the accident the plant
was shut down until repairs could be
made and it was well on toward eleven
‘ o’clock when the big engine was start-
ed and the current again turned on.
But for two hours or longer Bellefonte
| and the entire territory served by the
' State-Centre company was in dark-
ness, save for candles and kerosine
. lamps requisitioned to tide over the
emergency. »

ry Bros. State College, paid the “Watch-
man” office a brief visit and related a por-
tion of his experience on a recent trip back.
to his native land for the purpose of vis-
iting his mother. Upon his arrival in
Greece he observed rather ominous signs
of army mobilization and at once called on
the U. 8. consul to find out what he
thought of the situation. The consul
promptly told him that if he was a native
of Greece and had a business in the United
States he'd get back there as soon as he
could. Mr. Gregory took the hint and
promptly applied to the Greek authorities
for the surrender of his passport and then
got the shock of his life. That official pa-
per cost him ten dollars in the United
States but to get it back from his brother
Greeks he was compelled to deliver over
four hundred good American dollars. But
he did so and just twelve days after he
landed he was back on ship headed for
heme, without getting to see his mother
and friends and the very day he embark-
ed army mobilization orders were issued.
Mr. Gregory got back to State College sev-
eral week ago and he is glad of it because
he is a naturalized American citizen and
before coming here had served his native
country in the Balkan war. :
on a trip to Illinois and Iowa.

neering Co. The principal reason for Mr.
and Mrs. Haller’s vacation at this time,and

arena in the Dempsey-Carpentier fight to-

road and is now associated with his broth-
cer Edmund’s law firm in New York city.
He has charge of the finance and credit
department of the firm which carries on a
business in realty and motor financing
running into the millions annually. He is
grown a man, of course, but sticking out
everywhere one can detect the pleasing
manner and other little characteristics
that made Mannie one of the little boys in
Bellefonte of whom everybody was fond. .
He left here Tuesday for Atlantic City,
where he expected to tarry until tomorrow
when he will run over to Jersey City for
the fight before going home.
