A Wonderful Picture.
“The Four Horsemen of the Apoc-
alypse,” which will be shown at the
opera house Tuseday and Wednesday
nights, January 10th and 11th, has
been pronounced one of the greatest
pictures ever filmed. It was six
months in the making, cost an even
million dollars and twelve thousand
people were employed at various
times from the time it was started un-
til completed. The picture is a screen
version of Vincente Blasco Ibanez’s
wonderfully interesting book of the
same title, which is now in its two
hundredth edition. Half a million feet
of film was used up in the orginal
screening. This extraordinary length
was cut down to twelve reels of a
thousand feet each, which now make
up the picture. A splendid orchestra
furnishes appropriate music during
the showing of the picture. Every-
body who can do so should make it a
point to see this wonderful picture.

BANK ROBBERS CAPTURED.
i Karthaus Bank Looted by Two Res-
idents of Philipsburg.
Within forty-eight hours from the
time two men held up cashier Avery
Shope and robbed the First National
bank at Karthaus of $6,280, both men
were arrested and proved to be Harry
t Kinkead and Raymond Shope, both
residents of Philipsburg. On Monday
of this week the two men plead guilty
and were sentenced by Judge Bell, at
Clearfield, to not less than seven nor
more than twelve years in the west-
ern penitentiary. Up to the present
a little over three thousand dollars of
the stolen money has been recovered.
Suspicion was first attracted to
Harry Kinkead by his lavish ex-
penditure of money the day following
the robbery, and he was promptly ar-
rested. After considerable question-
ing he finally confessed and implicat-
ed Shope. The latter had gone to
Brookville in the Hudson car used by
the two men on their trip to Karthaus
and he was arrested there on Friday
morning. Morgan Shope, a brother of
Raymond Shope, was also arrested on
Friday and on Saturday two other
Philipsburg men, Summerfield Test
and William Fryberger were taken in-
to custody.
According to the story of the two
principals in the affair Test and Fry-
berger helped to plan the robbery but
failed to show up when the time came
to do the deed, and Kinkead and Shope
did the job themselves. They further
admitted that neither Test nor Fry-
berger shared in the proceeds. Under
the circumstances the two men were
released from jail but held in one
thousand dollars bail each as acces-
sories before the fact. Morgan Shope
1 was given $350 of the stolen money to
pay a pressing debt and he was dis-
charged under a suspended sentence,
as it was proven he did not know
where the money came from.
The robbery of the bank occurred
on Wednesday morning, December
21st, and by the evening of the 24th
all the men were under arrest and
over half of the money recovered, but
up to this time the two principals
have not disclosed the whereabouts of
the balance of it.
Kinkead is a native of Philipsburg
but spent most of the summer in
Pittsburgh. He returned to Philips-
burg early in the fall and had been
working at the new Curtis park.
Shope had for some time before his
arrest been an employee at the Cen-
tre and Clearfield Railway company.
He is married and has two small chil-
“dren.

i Some Holiday Unfortunates.
| On the Saturday morning before
| Christmas E. C. Cooke fell on the icy
. pavement near the Gazette office and
! broke his arm.
{ Having completed her Christmas
- shopping and about ready to leave for
her home Mrs. Cyrus Gearhart fell on
the pavement in front of the Benner
. property, on High street, about nine
: o'clock on the evening of December
24th and broke her right leg just
above the ankle. She was taken to
the Bellefonte hospital and is now get-
ting along all right.
While carrying in coal at a house
on east Bishop street, on Tuesday
afternoon of last week, Wm. Keeler,

Chinaman Electrocuted.
Chung Tao, of Reading, was elec-
trocuted at the Rockview penitentiary
on Tuesday morning and was the first
of his race to be put to death in the
electric chair in Pennsylvania. Chung
was brought to the death house on
Saturday by sheriff Edward Deem,
of Berks county, and at least four dep-
uties. Ordinarily he would have met
his fate on Monday morning, but that
being a legal holiday the mandate of
the law was not executed until Tues-
day morning.
Chung’s downfall was the result of
a poker game. According to the story
he won all the money and then was
accused of cheating by Joe Lee, a fel-
low countryman. A fight ensued and
Lee was killed, having been stabbed
eighteen times. Chung was arrested
for the murder and at his trial denied
the killing. Later, however, he con-
fessed to his spiritual adviser that he
had committed the crime but did it in
self defense. Chung was attended to
the death chair on Tuesday morning
by Rev. S. P. Erisman, pastor of
Grace United Evangelical church, of
Reading.

—Mrs. H. B. Shattuck and Mrs. H. H.
Havner, of State College, were among the
out-of-town members of the D. A. R. in
Bellefonte Tuesday for the January meet-
ing of the Chapter, held at the Bush house.
—Miss Helen Bartholomew, of Centre
Hall, and her niece, Elizabeth Bartholo-
mew, were in Philadelphia the after part
of last week, spending several days there
under the care of Dr. McCluney Radcliffe,
an eye specialist.
—Mr. and Mrs. David Blackburn enter
tained Mr. and Mrs. William Rachau, of
Bellevue, Ohio, during their recent visit te
Bellefonte. Mrs. Rachau, before her mar-
riage, was Miss Meyers, a graduate nurse
of the Bellefonte hospital.
—Mrs. Harry Garber, of College Point,
L. I, has been in Bellefonte for the past
ten days, called here by the serious illness
of her grandmother, Mrs. D. G. Bush. Mrs.
Garber will be with Mrs. Bush at her
apartments in the Bush Arcade, for an in-
definite time,
—Jack Montgomery, who is now home
with his mother, Mrs. Joseph L. Mont-
gomery, will leave early in the week for
New York, for a try-out as a movie actor,
with the Ralph W. Ince Film Co., to ap-
pear in three pictures, among which will
be “Who Cares.” Jack has the opportu-
nity, so that all he need show is histrionic
ability enough to start him on the way to
screen success.
—Miss Florence Finnegan, who has been
a guest of Mrs. R. 8. Brouse within the
past week, came here Saturday from Phil-
adelphia, for a visit of a few days before
going to take up her new work at Carlisle.
Miss Finnegan is a daughter of Mrs.
Stephen Finnegan, and spent all her girl-
hood life in Bellefonte, leaving here with
her mother and sister several years ago,
to make her home in Philadelphia. Fer
some time Miss Finnegan has been asso-
ciated with the State Welfare work in
Philadelphia, devoting her time for the
past three years to the Children’s Aid. A
transfer to the tuberculosis department
has now been made, which work she will
take up upon going to Carlisle.
—During the holiday week we just stole
enough time from the mechanical depart-
ment of this plant to sit out in the front
office for a few hours and act like the
uewspaper game was so soft that all one
need is to keep his face and hands clean,
throw a little bull and paw in money.
After about four months of intensive nos-
ing into type cases, ink kegs and roller
washing it seemed like “a little bit of
Heaven.” So many agreeable callers came
in all wreathed in seasonable smiles and
radiating good feeling. Among the near-
by agricultural “blo¢’ ’ who loafed and
swapped yarns with us for a few moments
were Wilbur Tibbens, who is on the Shu-
gert farm at Pleasant Gap; E. J. Gentzel,
who is carrying on on his father’s big
farm below Pleasant Gap; and Henry
Hoy, who makes a specialty of raising
beautiful flowers, good crops and serving
pure milk to a Bellefonte route. Then eame
Ollie Campbell, of Barnesboro. He and his
wife had been here for a few days at her
former home at Pleasant Gap. Following
him J. F. Zeigler and Peter Keichline, of
Bellefonte, dropped in and with twe such
stalwart old Democrats laying themselves
open to confab we nearly died of disap-
pointment because there was a Republican
lurking round in the back office and we
couldn’t open up with our friends for fear
he would get mad and chuck the job he
was at,, for in that event our little delu-
sion of being boss around here would have
ended right then. O. H. Nason, farmer,
lumberman and road builder of Martha,
was next with a display of photographs of a
hunting camp where deer and bear galore
were hanging. Just when we effervesced
with congratulations Orrie admitted that
the picture wasn’t of his camp, but that
of the crowd located near his in the moun-
tain. He had to get a picture of their kill
because his own had none to take. We
used to hunt with Orrie and we recall that
he was always in our class—a dandy hunt-
er—with the accent on the hunt. The last
caller was J. H. Heberling, of Tyrone, who
merely ran in for a moment while the
train that was carrying him to his for-
mer home in Eagleville for a short visit,
was dischanrging passengers. When he
left we remembered something that had
been forgotten down under the big press
and our sun went behind a cloud of grease,
printer's ink and paper scraps for the rest
of the day.
