wery little news “of any consequence

State enthusiasts an opportunity to

On Tuesday morning as the
Lewisburg train left the depot to go
#0 the Y for turning the pony wheels
of the locomotive jumped the track on
the High street crossing and the driv-
ing wheels followed suit, but fortu-
mately the tender clung to the rails and
as the train had not gotten under any
great speed it was brought to a stop
before it got over the crossing. But
the track just north of High street
was badly bent and one or two plank
on the crossing split. The shifting en-
gine was requisitioned and pulled the
locomotive back onto the track, none
&he worse of the derailing.

warieus financial vicissitudes of the
Eastern Refractories company it
* finally became the property of the Su-
perer Silica Brick company, and as
their offices have been removed from
Bellefonte the building was sold.

SURPRISING RESULT OF TUES-
DAY’S PRIMARIES.
Burgess W. Harrison Walker Winner
on Both Tickets and Herbert
Auman Nominated for
Tax Collector.
Tuesday’s primaries had its surpris-
es for many voters in Bellefonte, and
as usual in such cases, the unexpected
happened. W. Harrison Walker
was nominated for another term of
burgess on both the Republican and
Democratic tickets notwithstanding
the fight that was made against him
on the grounds of dereliction of duty
and in favor of J. Kennedy Johnston.
Mr. Walker's plurality over Johnston
on both tickets was 829. His nomina-
tion on both tickets naturally makes
him the only candidate, or at least the
only candidate whose name will be
printed on the ballot at the election in
November, and virtually assures his
re-election.
Another surprise was the nomina-
tion of Herbert Auman as the candi-
date for tax collector on the Republi-
can ticket in a field of five. While no
one thought Mr. Auman a weak can-
didate by any means few of his most
ardent supporters believed he would
show the strength he did. While his
plurality over Orian Kline, the next
highest man, is only 17, it is amply
sufficient. John Curtin ran a close
third in the race. Mr. Auman will
have as his opponent at the election
John M. Keichline, who had 72 votes
over Thaddeus Hamilton, on the Dem-
ocratic ticket. The vote by wards on
the offices of burgess and tax collector
is as follows:
For Burgess: N.W. S.W. W. Ww.
Walker, B........... 272 209 63
Johnston, R......... 142 109 10
Zerby, B............. 36 23 7
Walker, D.......:sv 85 112 31
Johnston, D......... 67 46 3
Zerby, D............. 23 25 2
Tax Collector: ;
Auman, B........... 184 51 32
Kine, B............. 47 169 34
Curtin, R............ 163 95 27
Kelly, B.........cis: 31 29 7
Keichline, R......... 30 02 15
Keichline, D......... 6 115 49
Hamilton, D........ 56 16
The above two offices were the only
ones in the borough on which there
was a contest of any interest. Charles
F. Cook and A. C. Mingle were nomi-
nated for school director on both tick-
ets, and David A. Barlett was equally
fortunate for the nomination for bor-
ough auditor.
In the North ward Benjamin Brad-
ley and W. J. Emerick were nominated
for borough council, Thomas Hazel
got the nomination in the South ward
and J. M. Cunningham and W. H.
Brouse in the West ward.
The question of holding a constitu-
tional convention was defeated in the
borough by a vote of 574 to 411, and
when the vote in the county is tabu-
lated it will probably show a big ma-
jority against it. If the question is
defeated inthe State, which seems
likely at this writing there will be lit-
tle interest in the election of delegates
to. the constitutional convention, but
just as a matter of record it might be
said that in Bellefonte borough Wood-
ward had 471, Mayo 243 and Miss
Simmons 459, all on the Republican
ticket. Miss Simmons also had 60 on
the Democratic ticket.
1t was ten o’clock Wednesday morn-
ing when the North ward election
board completed their work of tally-
ing their vote, making out their re-
turn papers, etc. The total vote cast
in the ward was 665, which naturally
made considerable work for the board.
In the South ward 555 votes were
cast.
Funeral of Elwood Brooks Largely
Attended on Sunday.
The funeral of Elwood B. Brooks,
one of the first Centre county soldiers
to lose his life in the world war, was
the most largely attended of any of
the soldier boys who made the su-
preme sacrifice. The body, recently
returned from France, arrived in
Bellefonte last Tuesday and was held
at the morgue of the F. E. Naginey
undertaking establishment until the
time of the funeral, which was Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock. At that
hour it was conveyed from the under-
taking establishment to ‘the Lutheran
church on one of the gun trucks of the
Boal Machine Gun troop.
Escorting the remains were the IL
0. O. F. band, fifty-four members of
the American Legion in command of
Major H. L. Curtin, and Troop B. of
Bellefonte, in command of Capt. W.
Frederick Reynolds. The services at
the church were in charge of Rev. W.
P. Ard, and were very impressive.
Many automobiles were required to
convey those who followed the re-
mains to their last resting place in
the Advent cemetery, where hundreds
of people had gathered to witness the
services at the grave, which were in
charge of the American Legion.
Arney Instanly Killed by
Automobile.
George
George Arney, nine year old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Miles A. Arney, of Ni-
agara Falls, was struck by an auto-
mobile on Monday afternoon and kill-
ed instantly. A number of years ago
Mr. and Mrs. Arney lived in Belle-
fonte, when Mr. Arney was superin-
tendent of the old Bellefonte Electric
company, the family originally living
at Centre Hall. George was the only
son of Mr. and Mrs. Arney and in ad-
dition to the grief stricken parents
two sisters, Mary and Helen, survive.
Arrangements for the funeral are not
known at this writing.

——The firebug in Warriorsmark
valley was in evidence again on Mon- |
day evening when the barn on the
Walter Crust farm was burned to the
ground. All the livestock was saved
but the year’s crops and much farm
machinery went up in smoke. The
Crust farm was occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Stover and adjoins the
Gates farm where both house and
barn were burned down several weeks
ago.
ESA RET Ar a
——The bequest of $10,000 to The
Pennsylvania State College by the will
of the late John Hamilton, for many
years treasurer of the College, was
formally accepted at a meeting of the
executive committee of the board of
trustees at the College on Saturday.
The will stipulated that one-half of
the income of the fund is to be used
for the moral welfare of the students
through the agency of the Y. M. C. A.
and the other half of the income is to
be compounded with the principal un-
til it totals the sum of $100,000.
——Workmen began the job yester-
day morning of tearing down the old
steam heat and gas plant on Lamb
street. The buildings in question
| were condemned by the borough offi-
cials some time ago but the exact own-
er of the plant and ground on which
it is located has been a mooted ques-
tion for some time, and even now, it
is not certain who really owns the old
plant. But it is evident that some one
in authority has put men at work tear-
ing it down. The heating plant was
installed in 1882 and continued in op-
i eration until three years ago when the
high price of coal and labor put the
plant out of business and lying idle it
has deteriorated into nothing but junk.
In fact, it has for some time been 2
menace to life and limb, and especial-
ly to the children attending the High
school building. But what an oppor-
tunity the owners missed two weeks
ago to get the building torn down
cheap. If they had only given the
word when that stolen whiskey was
found there the thirsty crowd would
have torn the plant upside down in
their efforts to discover the last bot-
tle.
Conference of Tuberculosis

ers will be held in Bellefonte, Wednes-

various townships will find it conven-
ient to be present. ; FF

Penn State Girl Would Become Forest
Ranger.
Even the story of fried rattle snakes
as a part of the menu atthe Penn
State College forestry students’ camp
at Lamar last summer, first news of
which was given in the columns of the
“Watchman,” has not deterred Miss
Caroline B. Kessinger in her ambition
to become a forester through her en-
rollment last week as the first woman
to study that profession at Penn State.
Her fondness for all outdoor activ-
ities, and the pleasure she gains
through roaming the Central Pennsyl-
vania mountain forest reserves,
prompted Miss Kessinger, whose res-
idence is in State College borough, to
join forces with the very popular for-
estry department at the college. An
expert with rifle and gun, she likes
nothing better than a mountain hike
and shows as much familiarity with
the nearby forest trails as most of the
habitual men student hikers. The dan-
ger of forest ranging holds no fears
for her, and one of her ambitions is to
some day patrol a section of state for-
est preserve.

Frederick Daggett, Basil Mott and
Robert Taylor, three young men of
Bellefonte, had a wonderfully lucky
escape from death or injury in a ser-
ious automoble smashup last Friday
night. The three had taken a run down
Nittany valley in the Daggett car and
were on their way home shortly be-
fore twelve o’clock at night. Out at
Hughes field Daggett evidently lost
control of the steering wheel as the
car ran to the right of the road and
up the bank behind a large telephone
pole. The pole was broken off and
falling across the machine completely
wrecked the top. A post in the wire
fence along the Beaver farm was also
broken off. The car, a six cylinder
Studebaker, was so completely wreck-
ed that it is nothing but junk. How
the young men escaped with their
lives, or at least very serious injuries,
is inexplicable. Daggett suffered a
slight injury on one leg and aside
from a shaking up the other two were
unhurt.
Friday seemed to have been an un-
lucky day for motorists. Early in the
i morning an umbrella mender and scis-
sors grinder undertook to back his
Ford car out of the Wion garage,
missed the driveway and upset his car
| down over several steps onto the Alle-
, gheny street pavement. He was un-
injured.
Between four and five o’clock on
! Friday evening a car from State Col-
ilege and one from Osceola Mills
crashed together at the intersection
of Allegheny and Bishop streets, both
cars being considerably damaged. The
car from Osceola Mills contained a
bird dog in a crate fastened to the
running board and the animal had one
leg cut off and was so badly hurt it
had to be killed. Of course both
drivers blamed each other for the ac-
cident.
Saturday morning Earl Tibbens
drove the Clevenstine bakery truck
out to Pleasant Gap and just this side
of the road to State College was run
into by John Snyder, of State College,
with his Buick car. The front end of
the Clevenstine truck was badly dam-
aged and the impact of the collision
threw the Snyder car around against
a telephone pole with the result that
it was also badly wrecked. Neither
of the drivers were hurt, however.
Booze Burglars Still on the Job in
Bellefonte.
When federal agent Rudisill under-
took to move the stock of confiscated
booze from the cellar under the post-
office to the county jail, Wednesday
‘evening of last week, he discovered
that the cell doors in the jail were too
small to admit a whiskey barrel, con-
séquently the barrel stuff was allowed
to remain in the-postoffice cellar until
further arrangements can be made for
its ‘disposition. There are nine bar-
rels in the cellar, seven of them full
of whiskey, one barrel about one-third
full and a barrel of vinegar.
. ‘Some time Saturday night burglars
again broke into the cellar and had
broken the government seal on the
bung of one of the barrels when they
were evidently frightened away, as a
close inspection showed none of the
wet goods missing.
Various reports have been in circu-
lation about Bellefonte that the bot-
tled goods found at the old steam
heating plant last week did not come
from the postoffice cellar but were a
portion of a truck load brought to
Bellefonte by a professional bootleg-
ger. Local authorities, however, as-
sert that the whiskey had been taken
from the postoffice cellar, and prove it
by the fact that they had the serial
numbers of the government stamps on
the bottles and the whiskey recovered
at the steam heating plant bore the
same numbered stamps.
- It is also the general belief that the
robbing of the postoffice cellar was a
home job, done by somebody in Belle-
fonte who knew conditions generally.
This fact is also pretty well establish-
ed by the attempt last Saturday night
to get some of the barrel whiskey
still stored there. It might also be
added that the authorities have pretty
well defined suspicions as to the iden-
tity of the booze burglars and arrests
may be made at any time.
Band Concert Down Town Tonight.
Weather permitting the I. O. O. F.
band will give a concert this (Friday)
evening in front of the Bush house.
While the band last week completed
its engagement with the Business
Men’s association for regular weekly
concerts during the summer season,
members appreciate the fact that the
people of Bellefonte and surrounding
community enjoy hearing them play,
and as none of the concerts this sum-
mer have been given down town they
decided to give one this evening. Turn
out and hear them.
