Bigamists Sent to Penitentiary.
At a brief session of court on Sat-
urday the case against George M.
Taylor and * Mrs. Mabel Shawley,
charged .with bigamy was heard and
disposed of. Taylor is from Watson-
town and a year or so ago worked at
the limestone quarries near Belle-
fonte. While here he made the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Shawley, wife of
Henry M. Shawley, and last June they
left here together, went to Union
county, where they were married.
Early in the winter they came here
on a visit and both were arrested. At
the hearing on Saturday they plead
guilty to the charge and were sen-
tenced to serve from one to two years
each in the western penitentiary.
Another case disposed of was that
of George Page, charged with larce-
ny. Prosecutor, J. C. Brooks. Page
is originally from Pennsvalley but
had been working as a fireman on the
Pennsylvania railroad with headquar-
ters in Altoona. When the retirement
system was put in force by the rail-
road company Page was bumped out
of a job and went back to Pennsval-
ley. Early in December he appear-
ed at Lewis Miller's garage in Belle-
fonte with a new auto tire which he
sold to Mr. Miller for eight dollars.
The tire proved to be one stolen from
the rear of J. C. Brooks’ car at Cen-
tre Hall, and on information sworn
out by Brooks a few days later Page
was arrested. At the hearing he plead
guilty to the charge of selling the
tire but declared he had not stolen it.
That it had been given to him by a
man in payment of a four dollar loan.
He stated, however, that the man in
question was married and had several
children and that he would rather go
to jail than tell on him. The court
sentenced him to pay back the eight
dollars received for the tire, costs of
prosecution and serve six months in
the county jail. Then he told Page
that at the end of thirty days he
would grant him a parole and give
him five months in which to earn the
money to pay the costs, etec., but if he
failed -to -make good. he .would..-have.]
him brought back to serve out his sen-=
tence.
Highway Department Explains what
Constitutes a “Commercial Car.”
Every Legislature takes upon itself
the burden of changing the automo-
bile law of the State, especially in the
matter of regulating the license fee,
and the last Legislature was no ex-
ception. A stipulation slipped into
the bill by the last Legislature was
an increase of five dollars over the
regular license for all cars used for
commercial purposes. Naturally there
has been considerable difference of
opinion as to what “commercial pur-
poses” might be construed to mean by
the State Highway Department, and
consequently justice of the peace S.
Kline Woodring wrote to the Depart-
ment for explicit information.
He received a reply this week and
in accordance therewith it was ex-
‘plained that any Ford car with a truck
body, any farmer’s car used for con-
_veying produce to market, or any car
used by the owner in a commercial
way are termed commercial cars and
an additional five dollars must be paid
for the license therefor. Under this
construction every jitney owner in
Bellefonte, every owner of a delivery
truck and every man who uses his car
for business, and not purely for pleas-
ure, would seem to come under the
“commercial car” heading.
The one class of car owners that
Mr. Woodring is undecided about is
doctors, and he intends getting ex-
plicit instructions in regard to them.
The doctor’s car is of course used al--
most entirely in a commercial way,
but whether the Department will rule
them as commercial cars remains to
be seen..
Potters’ Mills Man Commits Suicide.
William O. Laughner took his own
life last Thursday night or early Fri-
day morning by hanging himself with
a chain to the rafter of his barn. His
body was found on Friday afternoon
by his brother Edward. Mr. Laugh-
ner had not been in good health for
some time and had become quite
despondent and this is assigned as the
cause for his taking his own life. He
was 62 years old and was born in
Westmoreland county. He is survived
by his wife and two brothers, Edward,
of Potters Mills, and the other in
Ohio. The remains were sent to
Jeannette where burial was made on
Tuesday.
——Marshall Tillman, an Alabama
negro, who used an axe to kill his
wife, Beattie Tillman, in Johnstown,

other colored men, was electrocuted
at the Rockview penitentiary on Mon-
day morning. There being no friends
brothers and sisters.
to claim the body the remains were
buried in the penitentiary cemetery.

lowing a lingering illness with |
Bright's disease, aged 28 years, 1
month and 28 days. A telephone mes-
sage to the “Watchman” last week
conveyed the information that on
Wednesday Mrs. Brown had attempt-
ed to take her own life by drowning
in the Oak Hall dam, but her friends
aver that this is a mistake, that she
fell into the dam by accident. She
was a member of the Evangelical
church and lived a good, christian life.

——The new burgess James IL
Ginter, of Tyrone, has clamped the lid
down tight on that borough and has
declared he will sit on the lid until
he reforms the town. In a public
proclamation he has forbidden the
sale on Sunday of ice cream in any
quantity, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco,
chewing gum, candy, etc., and he has
instructed the police to see that his
edict is carried out.
— Easter this year will fall on
April 16th, which is naturally regard-
ed as unusually late and presages a
late spring. If the latter should prove
true it will mean late blossoming of
fruit trees and a good crop of fruit
this year. Of course we know that
everybody will join in the hope that
this may be the case.

the panels where the sol-
diers’ names will appear.

Veterans Clean-Up Squad Will Visit |
Bellefonte.
The director of the veterans’ bu- |
reau is very anxious to render full |
service to the disabled ex-service man. |
To that end an immediate attempt is
to be made to clear up all awards and
complaints concerning awards of !
either compensation or training with- |
out further delay, and also to arrange
for medical treatment where needed. |
A clean-up squad from the bureau !
will be in Bellefonte on January 23rd, |
1922, at the court house. This clean- |
up squad includes men who can assist
in preparing applications for compen- |
sation, medical examination and evi-
dence, and applications and decisions
for training.
It is imperative that every ex-
service man in this county who be-
lieves that he is entitled to receive
some consideration from the govern-
ment be made aware of this visit.
Any man known to you to be in need
of any of the services should be told
of this meeting. If perchance, you
are suffering from a disability believ-
ed to have been incurred, increased or
aggravated in the service, you should
make it your personal business for
your own benefit to meet these repre-
sentatives and place before them the
full facts regarding your claim.
Bring your discharge and any let-
ters received from, the bureau in or-
der to help the squad in adjusting
your claim.
If you are in training at present or
have been declared eligible for train-
ing, any adjustment you desire should
be taken up with your training officer,
as the squad is primarily in the field
to adjust claims which have been dis-
allowed, discounted, or where a re-
duction in compensation has occurred
and a complaint is made by the claim-
ant. The squad will also accept and
prepare new claims when all the old
claims have been heard and adjusted.
Your co-operation is absolutely nec-
essary if you are to weceive the full
benefits of what the government has
provided for you. You cannot afford
to miss this opportunity for immedi-
ate action. ‘

at church to hear him.
Owing to the deep snow and block-
ed roads our R. F. D. man was able
to make but two trips over his route
the past week. Patrons on his route
will do him a great kindness by shov-
eling a path to their mail boxes, as
the carrier has job enough trying to
make his daily rounds without wad-
ing through the snow to boxes.
Our popular and efficient bandmas-
| ter, W. K. Corl, is having a serious
time as the result of a sore hand.
After suffering about a month he sub-
mitted to the amputation of the index
finger on Tuesday, which it was be-
lieved would afford relief, but yester-
day morning the condition of his hand
was such that a consultation of doc-
tors was held, and it is possible the
hand may have to be amputated.
Last week’s deep snow fall drifted
the roads fence high and in many
places travel was diverted through
adjacent fields. Many school children
were caught in the storm and had to
be carried to the nearest house and
their parents notified. Several auto-
ists go stuck in the drifts and had to
be dug out and trailed to the nearest
town with horses. Our mail carrier
was among the unfortunates and was
compelled to leave his car stand in
the snow over night. The road men
have worked diligently to get the
highway open from State College to
Tyrone, via this place and the Spruce
Creek valley.
