HR
MINER'S HOUSE DYNAMITED.
One Man Killed and One Injured in
Explosion Near Snow Shoe.
William Bukosky, of Winburne, a
miner working for the Lehigh Valley
Coal company in its No. 26 mine near
Clarence, was instantly killed about
one o’clock on Tuesday morning when
the house in which he was living with
two companions was dynamited and
blown to atoms, and George Shikalla,
one of his companions, was badly in-
jured, while the third man, Fred Rash-
dorm, escaped without suffering any
injuries.
Conditions in the Snow Shoe region
have been quite tense for several
weeks. A number of miners in that
section went to work a few weeks ago
after about a year’s idleness, at a
scale of wages somewhat lower than
that demanded by the union men, and
vet as much as the operators can af-
ford to pay with the price of coal as
it is. Naturally, during the prolonged
strike there has been considerable
suffering among the miners and their
families, and the morale of the men,
and women, too, for that matter, has
not been any of the best. During the
past few weeks, since a few of the
mines have been in partial operation,
there have been mutterings and
threats, and on two or more occasions
dynamiting, which, however, was
probably done more with an idea of
frightening the men who were work-
ing than with any intention of doing
personal harm or damage to mine
property. But it is alleged that many
miners carried guns and it was no
unusual thing to hear shots fired, but
up to Monday night no attempt had
been made to do anybody any bodily
harm.
Of course most of the miners who
have been working kept pretty much
together and close to the mine. But
Bukosky, Shikalla and Rashdorm, all
of whom were residents of Winburne,
leased a vacant house at what is
known as Pancake, over a mile from
No. 26 mine, and lived there, doing
their cn housework.
The c:zplosion that blew the house
to pieces and killed Bukosky about
one o'clock Tuesday morning was
heard by a number of people but lit-
tle attention was paid to it at first, as
it was thought to have been simply
another threatening explosion, and it
was probably a half hour or more
later when the report reached the
mine that the house had been blown
up. Miners and others promptly hur-
ried to the scene and found the house
completely demolished. Bukosky was
dead and the men assisted Shi-
kalla from the ruins. He sustained
some bad cuts and bruises, but no
critical injuries. Bukosky was about
forty years old and leaves a wife and
six children. .
Naturally the explosion and killing

The Brooks-Doll Post of the
American Legion are planning to have |
2 baseball team this year. Quite a|
number of the members have played |
on the diamond in past years and they |
are now assured of the services of a |
pitcher from the Southern league who |
has located here and become a mem-
ber of the Post. As soon as the
weather becomes fit candidates for the
team will go into training and a!
strong aggregation will be built up.
Miss Meeker, the new commu-
nity Red Cross nurse, met with an un-
fortunate accident on Wednesday
afternoon in which the Red Cross car
was wrecked but she, fortunately, es-
caped injury. Crossing High street
bridge she wanted to go out Water
street but attempted to turn around
the east side of the dummy policeman
with the result that she ran into the
«curb, smashing the left front wheel of
ithe car. She stuck to the steering
wheel, however, and guided her car
almost a hundred feet along the street
before she got it stopped. Aside from
je smashed wheel the front axle was
ent.
—=~—Capt. George M. Boal, of Cen-
“tre Hall, went over to Reedsville the
latter part of last week to spend some
time with his daughter, Mrs. Charles
Meyer. This week Mrs. W. Gross
Mingle, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. W.
A. Park, of Mount Pocono, also ar-
rived at the Meyer home for the cel-
“ gbration today of Capt. Boal’s eighty-
third birthday anniversary. The Cap-
" “tain and St. Patrick were born on the
i same day, but a few hundred years
“apart, and we'll wager that Capt.
Boal is now about as spry and active
as St. Patrick would have been at his
age, notwithstanding the fact he
was the patron saint of Ireland.
Two strange members of the
state constabulary arrived in Belle-
fonte the latter part of last week and
at once proceeded to see whether the
automobile laws were being rigidly
observed in this locality. Automobile
owners and drivers were stopped and
requested to produce their license
card. In most instances those appre-
hended could do so, but when they
could not they were either taken be-
fore a justice of the peace or ordered
to report there. On Sunday the offi-
cers spent at least a portion of the day
on the state road near Zion and held
up all cars. This action on the part
of the state constabulary is-in line
with the policy of the State Highway
Department to enforce the automobile
Sheriff Harry Dukeman was over in
Philipsburg and district attorney
James C. Furst was notified of the
killing and the situation, which was
described as critical, many men car-
rying arms of some kind. The sheriff
was notified at Philipsburg and at
once proceeded to Snow Shoe, while
requests were also sent in for state
police.
Sheriff Dukeman remained in Snow
Shoe until Wednesday morning but
during all the time he was there there
was no demonstration of hostility
manifest. While nothing definite
was learned as to the parties who did
the dynamiting several parties are
under suspicion and it is possible that
something may develop in the near
future. One thing seems pretty cer-
tain, and that is that more than one
man was concerned in the job. From
the complete way the house was de-
molished considerable dynamite must
have been used. In fact some people
incline to the belief that an entire box
of the explosive was used. It was
planted in the cellar of the building,
right under the portion of the house
in which the men were sleeping and
how any of them escaped being blown
to atoms is little less than a miracle.

District forester Morton has
j resumed the construction of the new
road through the Bear Meadows,
{ which was begun last fall. The grade
is now completed for virtually the en-
i tire length, and a bridge has been
(built over Sinking creek. The road
' bed through the Meadows proper has
been well piked with stone. Forester
i Morton expects to use new road build-
| ing machinery to finish the grading
! just as soon as the frost is entirely
out of the ground. He expects to fin-
ish the job by July first.
! — Most of the older readers of the
| “Watchman” recall the great flight of
wild pigeons in 1876, when they flew
south in such dense flocks that the sun
was obscured while they were in tran-
sit. Prior to that year wild pigeons
were as common as crows, but since
that time they have disappeared en-
tirely and naturalists have for years
been trying to figure out what became
of them. Old hunters can also remem-
ber when squirrel were quite plenti-
ful and it was no trick at all to go out
in the fall season and gather in a bag
of eight or ten on a morning’s hunt,
but for some years past squirrel have
been almost as scarce as hen teeth.
But last week one morning railroad
employees on the Tyrone and Clear-
field railroad saw in the neighborhood
of three hundred squirrel all in one
drove on the mountain near the big
fill. The squirrel were all traveling
down the mountain and where they
came from or whither they were going
was a question the men who saw them
could not solve. Perhaps they, like
the wild pigeon, are migrating, but
whether into this country er out of it
remains to be seen.

Williamsport and Altoona, or the big
show in Pittsburgh,” was the way one
visitor characterized the big auto
show being held in the Bellefonte ar-
mory this week under the auspices of
the Centre County Automobile Deal-
ers’ association. In fact everybody
who has visited the show since its
opening on Tuesday evening are
unanimous in asserting that it is high-
class, not only in arrangement but in
the line of exhibits. The cars are so
placed that every one can be seen and
inspected, and every exhibitor has
been shown equal courtesy in the mat-
ter of space, ete. The exhibitors with
the cars on display are as follows:
C. E. Snyder, of State College;
John A. Confer & Son, of Snow Shoe,
and Boozer & Smith, Centre Hall, the
Dodge cars.
Beatty Motor Co., Bellefonte, the
Ford and Lincoln cars.

passenger cars of every description,
two delivery wagons and three trucks
on exhibition. Most of the cars are
well known in this vicinity, but the
Handley Knight and Lincoln are two
cars which have attracted considera-
ble attention because they are new to
this section. Many prospective pur-
chasers have taken advantage of the
show to inspect the different makes
and styles of car and there is no doubt
but that numerous sales will result
from this medium of advertising.
The show was opened on Tuesday
evening with a concert by the Odd
Fellows band and following that mu-
sic was furnished throughout the
evening by Wion’s orchestra. This
latter organization will be on hand
every afternoon and evening and do
its part in helping to entertain the
crowd. Each evening there will be
one or two vocal selections by well
known musical artists of Bellefonte.
The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Y.
M.C. A, is serving sandwiches and
coffee, ice cream and cake, day and
night, so that any person becoming
hungry while visiting the show can
have their hunger appeased without
leaving the building.
All in all it is a better show than
that of a year ago. The decorations
are most appropriate and effective and
every arrangement is complete as fo
detail. The show will continue until
10:30 o’clock tomorrow (Saturday)
evening, and if you have not been one
of the visitors up to this time don’t
fail to drop in before the close. You
will be entirely welcome, whether you
want to buy a ear or not.
It might be mentioned that the show
was planned and staged under the di-
rect management of Robert F. Hunt-
er, one of Bellefonte’s most enthusi-
astic motorists. The decorations were
designed and arranged by Mrs. R.
Russell Blair, assisted by Mrs. Donald
S. Potter and Miss Louise Hoffer.

You men! Do you love the woods?
Do you wish to learn the trees as the
forester knows them? And the stars,
not as the astronomer, but as a trav-
eler? Do you wish to have all-round,
well-developed muscles, not as the
athlete, but those of a sound body that
will not fail you? Would you like to
be an expert camper who can always
make himself comfortable in the great
outdoors, and a swimmer who fears
no waters? Do you desire the knowl-
edge to help the wounded quickly and
to keep cool and self-reliant in an
emergency? Do you believe in loy-
alty, courage and kindness? Would
you like to conform to habits that will
make life a success? If you do, and
you men have boys from twelve to
eighteen years old, their place is in
the ranks of the Scouts. To be a
Scout will give them new pleasures in
life, will help them do better work
and teach them more about outdoor
life.

jobs you want done. If you have any

Kessler—Cole.—A news dispatch
from Easton on Monday announced
the marriage of Nelson T. Kessler, a
son of police surgeon and Mrs. F. J.
Kessler, of that place, and Miss Rus-
sie Cole, of Bellefonte, the wedding
having taken place in Bloomsburg on
January 8rd. The bridegroom is a
Senior at State College and it was
while returning from a visit at the
home of his parents in Eeaston that
the young people decided to get mar-
ried. So stopping in Bloomsburg they
went to the Episcopal church where
the ceremony was performed by the
rector, the Rev. Mr. Moore. The bride
is'a daughter of Jacob Cole, of Belle-
fonte, and is at her home here wait-
ing the time when her husband will
graduate in June. When that event
transpires they will decide on their
future.

——There is a man out in Snow
Shoe who has little superstition re-
garding the number 13. When called
to pay a small bill last Monday, the
13th, the collector remarked that per-
haps he held to the belief that to pay
on the thirteenth was unlucky. “Oh,
I don’t know,” he remarked. “I was
born on the 13th, was married on the
13th, have nine children and seven of
them were born on the 13th, had one
child die on the 13th and was laid up
a year asthe result of an accident
which occurred on the 13th, so I don’t
see that thirteen figures to any great
extent ene way or the other,” and he
paid the bill.
