STATE COLLEGE MAN KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Thomas D. Gray, with Load of Stu-
Creek with Fatal Results.
On his way fron: Lewistown to
State College with a load of college
‘ students returning from the State-
Navy game, early Monday morning,
Thomas D. Gray, a well known resi-
dent of State College, drove his car
through the bridge spanning Kisha-
coquillas creek and down into the
the creek, a fall of eight feet. Gray
was caught under the car, sustaining
a broken neck and crushed chest, re-
suiting in instant death.
W. Stewart Taylor, of Dauphin
county, a student, sustained two cuts
on left leg, cuts on nose and badly
bruised chest.
Andrew Musser, of Dauphin coun-
ty, escaped with minor injuries.
Miss Amelia Schuler, of McCon-
nelsburg, sustained a broken left arm
above the wrist and bad body bruises.
The other students were J. Freder-
ick Merz, of Philadelphia; Kerzy Be-
vor, of Washington, Pa., Donald Hu-
| ber, of Philadelphia, and Ellridge Na-
than, of Erie, who suffered minor in-
juries and were able to swim ashore
out of the six feet of water and also
render assistance to the others.
Mr. Gray, driving a seven passen-
ger Paige car, left State College at
two o’clock Monday morning and
drove to Lewistown to meet the train
arriving there from the east about five
o’clock. Immediately upon the train’s
arrival he loaded up with the seven
students above named. Musser and
Taylor were on the front seat with
Mr. Gray. Huber, Miss Schuler and
Merz occupied the rear seat and Ell-
ridge and Bevor were on the folding
seats.
Mr. Gray was driving along at a
moderate rate of speed as he ap-
proached the Xishacoquillas bridge.
The road at that place has an abrupt
curve approximating ninety degrees
and whether Mr. Gray had forgotten
the curve, mistaken his location or
was unable to see it is not known, in
any event he failed to make the turn
and drove into the bridge, the ma-
chine plunging into the creek a dis-
tance of eight feet. The machine
fell to the left and Gray was caught
beneath it in six feet of water. Oth-
er cars were on the road and it was
only a question of a few minutes un-
til Gray’s body was taken from the
water and taken to the undertaker at
Lewistown. The injured students
were given medical attention at the
Lewistown hospital and all able to do
so continued their trip to State Col-
lege in other cars.

Mr. H. D. Monroe, poultry special-

mer could mix his own grains in or-

them. With the price of grain so
low, a farmer must do everything
possible to break even on the grain
crop. The high price of eggs and
poultry products opens up one way in
which some of the grain may be dis-
posed of at a fair price by feeding to
the poultry if it is correctly done.

The Bellefonte Chautauqua.
Because of the delay in obtaining
the required number of guarantors
for the 1922 Chautauqua, there was
no opportunity of easily calling to-'
gether the members for the election
of new officers, and therefore, Rev.
Malcolm DePue Maynard and Cecil
Walker have very kindly consented
to hold over for 1922 their former of-
fices as chairman and treasurer. Wal-
ter Cohen has consented to be vice
chairman and Nevin Cole, secretary.
This committee, with the ticket sell-
ing chairman, will attend to the busi-
ness of putting over the 1922 Chau-
tauqua, and will not call together the
grneral body of guarantors, except by
request.

——John D. Decker, jury commis-
sioner of Centre county, expects to
close the deal this week for the sale
of his old homestead in Decker val-
ley to a hunting party from Greens-
burg and Jeannette. The price, it is
reported, is $5000. The Decker home-
stead is located in the heart of Decker
valley and is in one of the best game
sections in the Seven mountains. In
fact deer are almost as plentiful in
that locality as sheep, and the pur-
chasers want the property not only
as headquarters during the hunting
season but as an attractive place to
spend a portion of the time during
the hot summer months. It is under-
stood that Mr. Decker will be per- |
mitted to retain his home there as
long as he lives.
——Members of the old Union |
church at Philipsburg celebrated the
101st anniversary of its organization
last Saturday evening and among the
speakers was Mr. T. R. Hamilton, of
Bellefonte. Mr. Hamilton, by the
way, is in his eighty-sixth year, and
he told his audience of how he made
! a trip to Philipsburg by driving over
| the mountains when he was sixteen
{ years old, almost seventy years ago.
Te frequently saw and talked to
| Hardman Phillips, the founder of the
| town, and remembers the old screw
factory, Philipsburg’s first industry.
Some years later he went to Philips-
! burg and worked on the first saw mill
i located there. On leaving there he
{ took a consignment of lumber sawed
at the mill to Nebraska, hauling it
over the mountain to Tyrone, going
from there to Pittsburgh by train,
then down the Ohio and up the Mis-
sissippi river. Mr. Hamilton’s talk
was much enjoyed by the people of
Philipsburg.

‘modation of all State College students
of Willis Showers, of Bellefonte.
Popello, who lived near Bellefonte
and worked in the limestone quarries,
was one of the young Italians called
for service in the world war by the
| Centre county board. For a year or
more prior to being called he had been
enamored with a young woman of
Milesburg and, it is alleged, had given
her money and costly presents. But
after he had gone to the training
camp the young woman accepted the
attentions of Willis Showers. Popel-
lo eventually returned home and on
the evening of October 8th, 1919, he
met Showers and the girl near the
latter’s home in Milesburg. Without
any warning he drew a gun and fired
five shots at Showers. His aim was
poor, however, as not one of the shots
I did any particular harm. One went
through the lobe of Shower’s left ear,
one cut him over the right thumb, one
hit the left lapel of his coat, another
went through his left trouser leg,
while the fifth shot flew wild.
Popello at once took to his heels
and made his escape. Ever since
has kept up a hunt for Popello and
finally located him in Wilkes-Barre.
On his request the authorities there
placed him under arrest and the sher-
iff will bring him back here for trial.

COME TO BELLEFONTE
FOR DOLLAR DAY.
An Invitation from W. Harrison
Walker, Burgess of Bellefonte, Pa.,
to the People of Centre County to
Come to Bellefonte, Pa, on “Dol-
iar Day,” Wednesday, November
23rd.
On behalf of the retail merchants
of Bellefonte, it gives me great pleas-
ure to extend to the people of Centre
county a cordial invitation to come to
Bellefonte on their “Dollar Day,”
Wednesday, November 23rd. More
than forty progressive merchants in
our town are busy arranging their
stores for this event and each prom-
ises many surprises for the “Dollar
Day” visitors. Some of the merchants
tell me that they are going to sell
merchandise that sells for two and
three dollars at one dollar.
Come to Bellefonte Wednesday,

Prisoners Steal Booze Stored in Cen-
tre County Jail.
Even the Centre county jail is not
a safe place in which to store booze,
a fact demonstrated on Sunday night
when the prisoners, who had the run
of the corridors until 9:30 o’clock,
stole some of the liquor stored in one
of the cells and after drinking it re-
filled the bottles with coffee they had
surreptitiously saved from their meals
and replaced the bottles in the case.
The theft was discovered when the
sheriff went into the jail at 9:30
o'clock to lock the prisoners in their
cells. His attention was at once at-
tracted by the smell of whiskey and
though he searched every man he fail-
ed to find any of the stuff. Then he
investigated the cell where the booze
was stored and discovered that some
of the prisoners, with a piece of base
board torn from the floor to which
was tied a hook made from a brace
torn from one of the beds, had man-
aged to draw a case of whiskey to the
barred door, through which they got
the bottles. Five quart bottles were
found which had been emptied and
filled with diluted coffee. The booze
was the same that had been removed
from the postoffice cellar to the jail
for safe keeping. :
Big Holiday Attraction.
At the opera house next Thursday.
November 24th, (Thanksgiving day)
the Tip Top Merrymakers will offer
for your approval “The Honeymoon-
ers,” a two act musical comedy with
twenty-three song numbers, seven
scenes and a chorus of pretty, snappy
girls. Some of the well known stars
are Joe Burkhart, Lew Orth and Al
Coleman. This trio of singers and
dancers are literally knocking them
off their seats everywhere. The scen-
ery and the costumes are all new, and
the chorus is not bad to look at. This
show is pronounced by theatre goers
to be the best popular priced music-
al comedy of the season. A special
matinee will be given at 2:30 p. m.,
and the seat sale will open at the
Mott Drug Co. on Monday. Pre-war
prices will prevail, 50, 75¢c. and $1.00,
plus tax, matinee and night.
