Brief Meeting of Borough Council
Monday Evening.
Six members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening. Secretary W. T.
Kelly read a brief communication no-
tifying council that the two triple
pumpers ordered for the Bellefonte
fire department were about completed
and would be shipped on or before
December 5th.
A communication was received from
chief fire marshal John J. Bower no-
tifying council that two or more of
the fire plugs in town are leaking and
suggesting that all the plugs be thor-
oughly tested and put in good condi-
tion before cold weather sets in. The
matter was referred to the borough
manager and Fire and Police com-
mittee.
The Street committee presented the
report of the borough manager and
also the treasurer's receipt for $56.00
water rent and $20.00 for sewer per-
mits.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $27.50 water tax on the

Daniel Sullivan, a whiskey runner,
visited Bellefonte on Saturday even-
ing with a load of booze but his stay
‘was of short duration.

the fact that it would be unwise for

——The report circulated that
many State College students would
hike to Philadelphia for the State-Na-
vy game tomorrow is no myth. Some of
the boys left on Wednesday and the
big bulk of them yesterday. Reports
from the College state that at least
four hundred are now on their way.
Of course they won’t walk the entire
way, hoping to get many a lift along
the road. If State wins tomorrow
they will probably all ride home.
——The State College football team
eontinued its winning streak last Sat-
urday by defeating Carnegie Tech 28
to 7. The visitors made the first
touchdown but after the Bezdek ma-
chine got to working they had no
further opportunities to score. A por-
tion of the game was played in a
blinding snow storm. Tomorrow
State will meet the Navy on Franklin
field, Philadelphia, and quite a num-
ber of Bellefonters are going down
for the game.
——Workmen are making good
headway in finishing the interior of
the Bellefonte Trust company build-
ing. The tile floor is all down and the
marble partitions between the lobby
and the main banking room are in
place. On Tuesday three large rolls
of linoleum were received which will
be put down on the floor of the bank-
ing room and also in the director’s
room. Practically all the equipment
is now here and the bank officials are
anticipating getting into the building
friends on Sunday.
Dr. David Dale, John Curtin and
Willis Shuey returned from a five
days’ hunt Saturday evening. They
camped near Beaver Mills, in the Al-
leghenies and were very successful
in bagging birds. So many fell be-
fore their guns that they were able to
present a brace of birds to most of
their friends upon their return.
Postmaster John Knisely was up at
the Masonic camp Monday afternoon
and, having his gun with him, just
went up in the woods long enough to
bring down a nice wild turkey.
While hunting along the Bald Ea-
gle this side of Unionville, on Mon-
day afternoon, Willis Shuey got a
wild turkey and a pheasant.
John Kline shot a cross-fox up in
the “old orchard” Monday afternoon
and as No. 1 cross fox pelts are listed
at $60.00 it was a good day for John.
But the fact that little game is be-
ing brought in is no evidence of its
scarcity. One hunter who spent last
Thursday in the woods came home
with one pheasant and he candidly ad-
mitted to having seen five or six birds,
but he declared that they are so wild
it is next to impossible to get a shot
at them. Other hunters confess to
having seen a fair quantity of game,
but seeing and getting it are entirely
different. A number of hunters out
on the mountains have run across
deer, but these fleet-footed animals
are not yet in season.
Willis Woodring Shot in Mistake for
: Turkey.
Last Thursday morning Willis
Woodring, a blacksmith of Port Ma-
tilda aged twenty-one years, went out
for wild turkeys accompanied by a
young friend. The two young men
separated in order to better cover the
ground and some time later Wood-
ring’s companion, seeing something
move in the underbrush, fired his gun
but instead of bringing down a turkey
shot Woodring in the legs. The lat-
ter was gotten out of the woods as
quickly as possible and taken to the
Altoona hospital where it was found
that the shot were deeply imbedded.
One leg was pretty badly riddled from
the hip to the foot. While the wounds
are not necessarily dangerous they
will keep ‘Woodring housed up for
some time.

where tomorrow they will take in the

——Two large sea gulls flying over
Bellefonte on Tuesday of last week
| attracted considerable attention from
i those fortunate enough to see them,
as it is the first time gulls have been
seen this far inland. The only way to
i account for their presence is the ter-
| rific southeast storms and dense fog
that day. The gulls did not come
‘down but flew around for some time
then headed east and were lost to
view in the misty, foggy atmosphere.
——A. G. Morris celebrated his
eighty-seventh birthday very infor-
mally at his home on Linn street Sat-
urday. A dinner at which the guests
included his children, with Mr. and
Mrs. John Anderson, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Lukenbach and John D. Meyer,
all of Tyrone, was followed by the re-
friends who dropped in to ‘offer con-
gratulations. Mr. Morris’ only neph-
ew, Alexander Wier, of McKeesport,
was also a member of the party, hav-
ing come in for the event and to spend
several days with his uncle.
——Partition proceedings were held
before Judge Quigley last Saturday
to determine the valuation of the
Grant block site in Philipsburg and
after hearing all the evidence the
court fixed the valuation at $18,000.
It will be remembered that the Grant
block, which contained the Masonic
hall, was destroyed by fire in the
spring of 1919. Hon. Harry B. Scott
had a five-eighths interest in the prop-
erty and the balance was held by L.
B. Gernon. Now that a valuation has
been placed upon the same Mr. Scott
will purchase the Gernon interest and
the probability is will erect a hard-
some business block thereon next
year.
——Mrs. Charles Moerschbacher
last week sold her restaurant in the
McClain block to Edward S. Binga-
man, of Sunbury, who took charge on
Wednesday. This is probably the old-
est restaurant stand in the town, hav-
ing been conducted for many years
by the late John Anderson. After his
death the place was sold to Jesse
Cox and later to Charles Moersch-
bacher who was in charge un-
til his death several years ago and
since then it has been conducted by
Mrs. Moerschbacher. The sale of the
restaurant does not include the pool
room and cigar store in the room ad-
joining, which will be conducted by
Cyril Moerschbacher.

——Last Saturday morning Jack
Hollenback, with a party of friends,
of Philipsburg, drove to State College
for the Pennsylvania day exercises in
Frank Rowland’s Marmon car. Re-
turning from the College he failed to
notice the sharp turn in the road
where it crosses the railroad near
Dale’s Summit and when he threw on
the brakes to decrease his speed the
rear end of the car skidded turning
the car completely over. Miraculous
as it may seem none of the occupants
were hurt but the car was badly
wrecked. Rowland had just gotten
it out of the shop after having it thor-
oughly overhauled at an expense of
two thousand dollars. The wrecked
car was hauled in to Wion’s garage

to what he wants done with it,

ment for the two fire companies, sub- |

| At this juncture in the proceedings
! Walter Cohen and George Hazel made
their appearance, and Mr. Cohen stat-
ed that they had been appointed a

{ to the removal of the “No Parking”
| signs on the streets, which Mr. Cohen
| stated are offending farmers and oth-
ers and driving trade away from

| farmers had told him that they would

furnish parking place for their cars,

Mr. Cohen that the only signs of that
character on the streets are at cross-
ings and fireplugs and they are abso-
i lutely essential at both places. He

anxious as the Business Men’s Asso-
ciation to encourage the trade of far-
|
if the committee or the association
can work out any better plan than the
one now being enforeed council will

was a “Watchman” office visiter on Mon-
day afternoon having come to Bellefonte
by way of Tyrone on a business trip. The
Captain’s visits to Bellefonte are not as
frequent as they used to be in years gone
by, not because he thinks less of his many
friends here but because he is sticking
closer to that eosy home of his at Gates-

a few days in the woods during the deer
hunting season, as he is one of the old-
time hunters of that section.

Werrenrath Visits Bellefonte.
Reinald Werrenrath, the great
, barytone, was a visitor in Bellefonte
last Friday night. He had had an en-
gagement to sing in Chicago on Sun-
day and as it was made at the time
tract was made to carry him from
New York by aeroplane. The strike
failed, but the singer chose the air
route and reached here in an Oriole
machine. Saturday morning the
flight was continued, but the snow
storm was encountered at Brookville
and a return made to this place where
Werrenrath took the Lehigh to his
destination.
While in Bellefonte he was a guest
at the Brockerhoff house, where his
identity was not discovered until after
he had left when Manager Landsy
found an autographed photo of the
singer on his dresser with a little note
of gratitude for the comfortable, quiet
night and the pleasing service of the
hotel.
