—————— EEE ee) Demoreaic Wald, Bellefonte, Pa., May 26, 1922. NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY. ——Only eight more days until the close of the Bellefonte public schools. Mr. and Mrs. Leo H.

In another column of this pa- per Lewistown is advertising concerts this afternoon and evening by a mil- lion dollar band, and a dance this even- ing by a million dollar orchestra.

A fire on the roof of the Kern laundry, on north Water street, short- ly before one o’clock on Tuesday noon, called out the entire Bellefonte fire de- partment, but fortunately Mr. Kern and several others extinguished the flames by the use of hand extinguish- ers and fire hose before the companies arrived on the ground. Comparative- ly little damage was done. The circus has been here and gone. It furnished one day’s diver- sion but the Scenic is on the job every evening in the week, giving the people of Bellefonte and vicinity good enter- tainment at a nominal price. Another big picture is scheduled for next week. Watch the weekly programs published in this paper for the appear- ance of your favorite movie stars. The inmates of the Methodist home for the aged, at Tyrone, had their May day sale of fancy needle- work this week, when some 350 pieces were disposed of. In announcing the sale special mention was made of the work and industry of Mrs. Mary Shoop, formerly of Centre Hall, who had cleared over sixty dollars as the result of her work prior to the open- ing of the sale. The circus parade last Satur- day was led by Willis E. Wion in a new Nash car, a machine that is rap- idly becoming a favorite of automo- bile owners. In order to illustrate the durability of make and simplicity of action of the Nash car Mr. Wion will have at the Wion garage in Bellefonte a Nash motor and chassis literally stripped for action. Every part of the motor, the differentials and the transmission will be exposed to view, so that any one so desiring can see the car operate. The exibition will open tomorrow (Saturday) and con- tinue several days. The public is in- vited to visit the Wion garage and see the Nash display. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Scott Stover and their twins, and Mr. and Mrs. Rothrock drove to Lemont where they were members of a little family gathering at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Williams. Some twelve or fif- teen people were present and all had dinner at the Williams home. Sunday night and Monday eight members of the party became ill with ptomaine ~peisoning and while none of them "were critical a few are still sick. One of the dishes eaten at the dinner was canned peas, but whether the poison- ing can be ascribed to these has not as yet been determined. Mr. and - Mxs. Rothrock, Mrs. Stover and her dwin children were among the sick. While it is not “the biggest show on earth” the Sparks Bros. cir- cus and menagerie, which exhibited in Bellefonte last Friday is clean and wholesome throughout, and fills every promise made in its advance adver- tisements. The show travels in its own train of fourteen all-steel cars. Owing to the fact that it came to Bellefonte from Bedford it did not ar- rive here until 8:30 a. m. This nat- urally made the street parade-late and also the afternoon performance de- layed, but notwithstanding this fact the program was given in full. The attendance was very fair, though not as large as it would have been had the weather been fair. But the Sparks circus will be welcome in Bellefonte any time it comes this way. Every man with it comported himself as a gentleman while in Bellefonte and everybody was pleased with the per- formance. BRUTAL MURDER AT CLARENCE. Steve Zimmerman in Centre County Jail Charged with the Crime. Steve Zimmerman, thirty-four years old, of Clarence, Pa., is a prisoner in the Centre county jail and will likely have to stand trial for murder at the next term of court. In a fight among the miners at Clarence on Wednesday morning of last week Zimmerman hit Joe Surovice over the head with an iron bar and fractured his skull, and also struck Andy Koresko, who sus- tained several fractured ribs. Suro- vice died at the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, on Friday afternoon, while Koresko is at his home near Snow Shoe, recovering from his inju- ries. : Joe Surovice, Steve Franek, Andy Koresko and Steve Zimmerman, lived as neighbors at Clarence. According to an eye witness of the tragedy the three men first named left their homes Wednesday morning and went to the home of John M. Soltis to hire a car to come to Bellefonte. While they were away from home Zimmer- man went into the Koresko yard to get a bucket of water from a spring, the only water supply for several families. As he crossed over to the spring he remarked to Mrs. Brunyak that “Koresko might as well pack his suit case and leave Clarence.” A short time later the three men returned and Koresko went into his yard. Franek and Surovice passed on to the gate of Franek’s home where they stopped to talk. Zimmerman had filled his bucket with water and re- turned to in front of his own home, when Mrs. Brunyak told Koresko what Zimmerman had said. Koresko imme- diately followed Zimmerman and asked him what he meant by his re- mark. Zimmerman made no reply but grabbed a hammer lying on the ground near his feet. He hesitated a second, threw the hammer down and picked up a tamping bar, about four feet long and an inch in diameter, and aimed a blow at Koresko’s head. The latter dodged but got the full force of the blow on his back and side, sustaining several fractured ribs. In the meantime Surovice had start- ed for his own house, which was be- yond the Zimmerman place. Walking along with his hands in his pockets he arrived at the Zimmerman place just as Koresko was struck. Natur- ally he asked, “what is going on here?” Zimmerman promptly raised his tamping bar and hit Surovice on the left side of the head. The latter fell to the ground unconscious. A physician and the state police were immediately summoned and were on the ground in ten minutes. Zimmerman was placed under arrest and brought to the Centre county jail while the hammer and bar were brought along as evidence. Surovice was carried to his own house but failing to regain consciousness was taken to the Cottage State hospital, Philipsburg, on Thursday morning where he lingered until Friday after- noon when he passed away. The victim of the tragedy was a son of John and Mary Surovice and was born at Clarence twenty-four years ago. He was a miner by occupatibn and a thrifty, law abiding citizen. Three years ago he married Mary Smolko and shortly thereafter pur- chased a house and several acres of ground near Clarence. He cleared the ground, cultivated it and had one of the most attractive little homes in that neighborhood. In addition to his wife he leaves a son, Joe Jr., “two years old, and a baby girl one month old. Burial was made in the Catholic cemetery at Clarence on Monday morning. —————r i e———————— Near East Relief Bundle Day. ‘Every community in Centre county is asked to have a “Bundle day.” Near East Relief work shops can do nothing for the near naked refugees; they cannot even meet the demands of their orphans. If it were not for American old clothes bags, the little children whom we are. sheltering could not be properly clothed. The demand is imperative. There is noth- ing arrogant in it. We ask only for things for which you have no further use. Ned Keller, of Linden Hall, says: “The old clothes from America are our biggest asset; they are worth a hundred times what they cost when new. For these people to get an is- sue of old clothes is like being pre- sented in America with a thousand dollars.” Bellefonte May 26th. Send your contribution to the Epis- copal parish house, the Evangelical | Sunday school room, or the Undine fire house. “Bundle day,” Friday, | { | To Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary. | ! Fifty years ago the coming 7th of | June St. John’s Episcopal church was ! consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Howe, | Bishop of Central Pennsylvania. The parish will thus have the privilege of | celebrating the jubilee dedication fes- | tival on that date. Of all possible ob- | servances connected with the life of a ! parish the greatest, from the eccles- | iastical point of view, is that com- | memorating the solemn setting apart | of the church building, containing the | altar of God, to the worship of the Most High. As a feast-day this an- | niversary of the dedication ranks with | Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, All Saints, ete. The jubilee this year gives particular opportunity for thanksgiving. The day itself and the ; week following will be the occasion of special service at St. John’s. ——The Thimble Bee of the ladies of the Reformed church will meet in the chapel, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, as the guest of Mrs. Eliza- beth Wagner and Miss Bertha Wag- ner. ——The Woman’s club of Belle- fonte will give a dance and card par- ty in the public building on Howard street this (Friday) evening. sion, 50 cents.

Ward, Lil- lic C. Etters and David O. Etters vs. Permelia Tyler, of Lewistown, an ac- tion to recover damages for a motor accident on the road to State College on October 23rd, 1921, when the de- fendant drove into the rear end of the Ward car, upsetting it, injuring most of the occupants and badly damaging the car. The jury returned a verdiet in favor of Mrs. Ward for $1165; Lillie C. Etters $100 and D. O. Etters $400. Hecla Park Will Open Memorial Day.

A meeting for the purpose of ef- fecting a permanent organization of a Music Study Club for Bellefonte will be held in St. John’s Episcopal parish house Friday evening of this week at 7:30 o'clock. Through the efforts of Miss Rebecca Lyon, Mus. Mitchell, president of the Lewistown Music Club and state historian of the State Federation of Music Clubs, last week addressed an informal gathering here for the purpose of getting the sentiment relative to the formation of such a club in this place. Considerable interest was manifest- ed by all present and an invitation is extended to all music lovers interest- ed in such a movement to attend the meeting this evening, May 26th, when the purposes and the objects of the club will be fully set forth and explained. A ————— Minstrels All They Promised to Be. The Academy minstrels excelled themselves at the two shows given at the Garman opera house last Thurs- day and Friday evenings. The pro- grams were full of pep from the opening to the closing number, Much credit is due to the management and director for the fine treat given. The second part of the program was a new innovation and the high-class variety vaudeville numbers were much enjoy- ed. The affair was a success from the financial standpoint despite the counter attraction of the circus. Mr. Hughes has sent the Y. M. C. A. the sum of $500.00 which he promised for the Academy at the time of the drive last winter to help go over the top, despite the fact that the receipts this year were not as great as in former years.

The Academy ball team made a rec- ord on Hughes field, last Friday after- noon, by knocking out three pitchers of the Pitt Freshmen nine and win- ning the game by the one-sided score of 16 to 1. On Saturday, on the grounds of the University of Pittsburgh, at Pitts- burgh, the Academy track and field | team won the interscholastic meet by the score of 45% points. The nearest ! competitor was Johnstown High school with 28 points. The beautiful silver trophy cup won by the Acade- my team is now on exhibition in the window of Yeager’s shoe store.

This will be the first appear- ance of the Stroudsburg team in Belle- fonte, and as it is reported to be very strong this year, all lovers of the game should be on hand at the ap- | ‘pointed time and place. Admis- BELLEFONTE WINS AGAIN. Many Boys and Girls Compete in ‘Second Annual Track and Field Meet. So many boys and girls took part in the second annual track and field meet on Hughes field last Saturday that it was almost dark when the final event was pulled off. Teams were present from the Spring Mills vocational school and the high schools of Bellefonte, State College, Boals- burg, Aaronsburg, Pleasant Gap, Mill- heim, Howard and Centre Hall. Belle- fonte won in the Class A events and Centre Hall in the Class B events. The attendance this year was twice as large as last year. The I. O. O. F. band was present during the after- noon and enlivened the events with music. The purpose of the annual meet is to stimulate athletics in the high schools. The committee in charge acknowledges the co-operation of the Bellefonte Business Men's as- sociation in furnishing the trophy cup; appreciation to James R. Hughes for the use of Hughes field and to Penn State students who so cheerfully offi- ciated at the meet. The only misfortune of the meet oc- curred to secretary E. K. Stock, who was hit over the eye by a flying dis- cus, sustaining a bad cut. He was taken to the Bellefonte hospital where the injury was dressed and is now get- ting along all right. So great was the interest manifest- ed this year that the officers of the as- sociation have already decided to make it a two day event next year, and will make of it a play festival, literary contest and field meet. It will begin on Friday evening and continue through Saturday. Seventh and eighth grades will be included in the eligibles. Following is the summary of Sat- urday’s meet.

Nothing new has developed during the past week in connection with the closing of the Centre County bank. Mr. Charles M. McCurdy, who has charge of the investigation of the bank’s accounts, with a force of com- petent clerks, have been working every day in an effort to get the bank’s books in shape for a statement, but it will take some time to complete the work. Every depositor’s pass book is being checked up with the bank’s ledgers to see that the proper bal- ances are entered, and as some depos- itors have been slow in bringing or sending in their books, this work has naturally been retarded somewhat. In the absence of any official state- ment from those who are now in charge of the bank’s affairs it would be preposterous to even hazard an opinion as to what the outcome will be. The creditors of the bank, the bulk of whom naturally are deposit- Ors, are exercising wonderful patience and control and are to be commended on this attitude. Nothing could be gained by any other course. In fact it would be detrimental to the best in- terests of all concerned to do anything but wait for the unraveling of the bank’s affairs by Mr. McCurdy and his assistants. a Philipsburg Coal and Land Company Reorganizes. At the annual meeting of the Phil- ipsburg Coal and Land company, held in Philadelphia, May 9th, a new board of directors, representing the Morgan- Hale interests was elected.
