——John A. McSparran, Democrat-
ic candidate for Governor, and Gifford
Pinchot, Republican candidate, will
both be drawing cards at the Gran-
ger’s picnic at Centre Hall on Thurs-
day, September 7th. The presence of
these two stellar attractions will likely
mean a gathering of lesser political
lights. The date for the picnic this
year is September 2nd to 8th, inclu-
sive. !
—— The Scenic is offering a splen-
did program of pictures for next
week, and you can’t find a more com-
fortable place in Bellefonte for an
evening’s entertainment than this pop-
ular movie show. Manager Brown ca-
ters to the taste of all his patrons by
putting on programs of interest to
everybody. Something good is shown
every evening, so be a regular and see
them all.
— On Tuesday evening Paul Ri-
der, a member of Wetzler’s band,
drove to Milesburg in his Ford car for
band practice. After an evening's
session he attempted to crank his car
to come home when the crank shaft
kicked and broke his right wrist. The
young man is employed at the Beatty
Motor company garage and the injury
will probably keep him from work for
some time.’
— The burgess of Bellefonte and
the members of the Fire and Police
committee of borough council have de-
.cided to enforce the traffic ordinance
relative to vehicles of all kinds. This
includes fast driving of automobiles,
parking or stopping a car on the
wrong side of the street, parking at
fireplugs, etc. The above officials have
. decided that enough warnings have
been given owners and drivers of cars
and other vehicles, and future infrac-
tions of the ordinance will mean ar-
rest and the imposition of a fine.
— Walter Cohen has cut down the
property on north Spring street. The
big black ash tree in front of his
tree was easily two feet in diameter
and had doubtless stood there for at
jeast four generations. But it was in
on the pavement and the big roots
had heaved up the pavement at sev-
eral places and would have continued
to damage any pavement that could be
put down. Mr. Cohen not only in-
tends putting down a new pavement
and gutter but will remove the side
porch from his house and construct a
driveway leading into a new garage
he is having erected in the rear of his
home.

TROOPS SENT TO COAL FIELDS.
Bellefonte Machine Gunners on Strike
Duty in Western Pennsylvania.
Bellefonte’s National Guard unit,
Troop B, of the 52nd mounted ma-
chine gun battalion, did not go to the
annual encampment at Mt. Gretna, as
announced in this paper last week,
but instead were ordered to the west-
ern part of the State where they are
stationed in the coal fields on strike
duty. Last Thursday morning, while
the men were all preparing for their
jaunt to Mt. Gretna, orders came to
get the troop in shape for a cali for
field service. Later orders came can-
celling the encampment trip and late
Thursday afternoon supplemental or-
ders were received to entrain as early
as possible Friday morning and pro-
ceed to the western part of the State
to guard the coal mines.
Most of the troop’s equipment had
been packed for the trip to camp and
all of it had to be unpacked, as much
of the stuff could not be taken along
for service in the field. Cars were
placed for the troop and equipment on
Thursday evening and the boys work-
ed most of the night loading their
stuff. At five o'clock Friday morning
their horses were loaded. Machine
guns were unslung and put in shape
for use and these with eight boxes of
ammunition were carried by the troop-
ers.
Shortly before eight o'clock Friday
morning Troop A, of Boalsburg, Capt.
Charles E. Sohl in command, reached
Bellefonte by special train. By 8:20
o'clock Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds
had his troop aboard cars and Major
H. Laird Curtin, who commands the
battalion, had his headquarters troop
on board, the two troops aggregating
115 men and thirty horses. It was
just eight-thirty o’clock when the train
of eleven cars pulled out of the Belle-
fonte depot and sped westward. The
original destination was given out as
Washington county, but Troop B was
detrained at Johnstown and sent to
Woodvale, while Major Curtin and
headquarters troop and Troop A went
to Cokeburg, Washington county.
This week’s Johnstown papers, how-
ever, stated that Capt. Reynolds and
Troop B are stationed at Jenners,
Somerset county, while Capt. Sohl and
Troop A are at Vintondale. Just how
long the troops will be kept in the
field will depend entirely on the set-
tlement of the strike.
The calling out of the National
Guard owing to labor troubles is not
at all unusual in the history of Penn-
sylvania. Just forty-five years ago to
the day, or on July 20th, 1877, the
guardsmen were called out to quell
riots in Altoona and Pittsburgh ow-
ing to a strike of railroaders. In June,
1889, 38 officers and 420 men were sent
to Johnstown on acount of the big
flood. Other calls were as follows:
July 10, 1892, Homestead steel strike,
490 officers, 7,000 men; September 11,
1897, Hazleton, coal and railroad dis-
turbance, 199 officers, 2,150 men; Sep-
tember 21, 1900, Shenandoah, coal
trouble, 159 officers, 2,110 men; July
30, 1902, coal strike, 725 officers, 8,750
men; May 2, 1918, East Pittsburgh ri-
ots, Westinghouse strike, 134 officers,
1,624 men.
Headquarters Troop is at Cokeburg,
Washington County.
The following letter from trooper
John J. Bower II, of the 52nd M. G. S.
Q., will give the home-folks of the
boys who are away on military duty
an idea of how they are located and
what they were doing up to July 25th,
the date of its posting.
Editor “Watchman”:
After leaving Bellefonte last Friday
morning, we reached Altoona about
noon, and ‘after several hours’ delay
continued our journey, arriving at
Cokeburg early Saturday morning.
Our outfit was on the second section
of the Troop train, under the command
of Major Curtin, and was the first
train to pull into Cokeburg, just as
the sun was rising.
After unloading our equipment and
supplies, we set up camp in a large
field on a hill overlooking the town of
Cokeburg, which has about 1500 in-
habitants. The peculiar thing about
this town is, that every house is built
practically alike.
Saturday and Sunday morning were
spent in fixing up the camp and get-
ting ourselves established for a pro-
longed stay. Sunday evening we had
avery fine talk by the Chaplain of the
Regiment, during church services. °
There are between three and four
hundred men here, and a horse for
each one, and the view from the top
of the hill upon which the camp is sit-
uated, is a wonderful one.
So far, everything has gone fine
with our outfit, and no one seems to be
the least bit homesick. None of the men
are allowed outside of the boundaries
of camp, except when on detail or pa-
trol. The 104th Cavalry band plays
every evening, and there is also a fine
orchestra in camp, SO there is plenty
of amusement to occupy our leisure
time.
The country around here is not
much different from that at home,
with the exception of a few culm
dumps, and the numerous coal mines.
There is one mine near camp which is
over four hundred feet deep, and ex-
tends about four and one-half miles
under ground. There are large farms
in the, neighborhood, which remind
one very much of the foothills of the
Alleghenies back of Unionville and
Milesburg.
The inhabitants of this part of the
State are mostly of foreign origin.
For three days officers and men
lived in “Pup” tents, but the supply
train reached us today and we are now
quartered in the regular squad tent.
Steel helmets have been issued and
will be worn when on duty.
Sincerely,
JOHN J. BOWER II

Minor Auto Accidents.
On Sunday evening as S. Patterson
was on his way home to Lock Haven
from a trip to Bellefonte and Max Ka-
lin on his way back to Bellefonte from
a trip down the valley, both drivers
undertook to cross the narrow culvert
at the Clevenstine property near Zion,
with the result that a collision occur-
red. Fortunately none of the occu-
pants of either car were injured but
Mr. Patterson’s Ford was damaged vo
the extent of forty dollars or there-
abouts.
On Monday evening Gilbert M. Boy-
er, a guard at the penitentiary ran off
the road with his Ford runabout out
beyond the Titan Metal company plant
and considerably damaged his car,
though he escaped injury.

Bellefonte Chautauqua Next Week.
Next Monday evening the big Chau-
tauqua tent and equipment will arrive
in Bellefonte and workmen will get
busy at once and erect the same on
the High school grounds so as to have
it ready for the opening of the Chau-
tauque. on Tuesday afternoon. A
caretul reading of the program for
Chautauqua week shows that all the
| lectures and musical organizations are
new to Bellefonte, but will come here
highly recommended by the Chautau-
qua management. HE
Ticket sellers have been busy the
past week, under the direction of the
guarantors’ committee, selling the al-
lotment of season tickets. Any per-
son who has not yet secured a ticket
can be accommodated by applying to
any of the guarantors. The price of
season tickets this year is $3.00. Sin-
gle admissions, afternoons and even-
ings, 75 cents, with the exception of
“play night,” which will be $1.00.
Glenn Sanitorium Sold for Frat House
Although the sale was actually con-
summated about a month ago the fact
has just been made public that the
Glenn sanitorium at State College has
been sold to a Greek letter society at
the College for use as a fraternity
home. When the owners of the san-
itorium decided to sell they offered the
institution complete to the borough of
State College for $16,000. The offer
was taken under consideration by the
Chamber of Commerce and question-
naires were sent out requesting an ex-
pression of sentiment from the resi-
dents of the town. So few people re-
sponded that the Chamber of Com-
merce dropped the matter and the in-
stitution was then sold to the frater-
nity for $25,000, without the equip-
ment.
The sanitorium is located on west
College avenue and was originally
built by David F. Kapp as a residence.
A few years ago he sold the building
to the Glenns for $10,000 and they
equipped it as a sanitorium. It has
never been a paying institution which
is probably the main reason for the
sale. The fraternity will likely be
given possession at the opening of
College in September.
PE— ed
Reward Offered for Arrest and Con-
viction of Murderer.
“$500.00 reward will be paid for the
arrest and conviction of the person or
persons responsible for the murder of
George M. Marks, of Taylor township,
Centre county, which occurred on or
about June 14th, 1921.”
The above offer was authorized at a
meeting of the Centre county com-
missioners, Harry P. Austin, George
H. Yarnell and George M. Harter, on
Tuesday. Mr. Marks was found dead
in his home near Hannah Furnace on
the morning of June 14th, and indica-
tions pointed to the fact that he had
been dead a day or two. The general
supposition at the time was that the
old soldier was murdered for his pen-
sion money, but up to this time no
clue has been found as to the identity
of his murderer.
In fact some people have expressed
the belief that Mr. Marks’ death was
the result of a fall, but his friends and
neighbors reject this explanation. As
a means of solving the mystery of his
death, if possible, the county commis-
sioners have authorized the offer of
the above reward, and stand ready to
pay it upon the arrest and conviction
of any one who committed the deed.
BELLEFONTE SOLDIER DEAD.
Corporal Albert Sager Killed and Six
Injured in Truck Accident.
Going forth to duty in the coal re-
gions, last Friday morning, Corporal
Albert Sager, of Troop B, 52nd
mounted machine gun battalion, of
Bellefonte, little realized that his life
would be the forfeit of his faithful-
ness. He was the unfortunate victim
of an accident at 4:45 o’clock on Tues-
day evening in which he suffered in-
juries which resulted in his death at
the Memorial hospital, Johnstown, at
7:45 o’clock the same evening. Six of
his comrades were also injured, four
of them being from Bellefonte. Sager
sustained a crushed chest, broken
back and internal injuries. The in-
jured are as follows:
Private Raymond Ammerman, aged
19, Bellefonte, fracture of the right
arm and fracture of the left collar-
bone. Condition reported as fair.
Private Gilbert Carroll, aged 20, of
Harrisburg. Injuries of the left leg.
Condition reported as good.
Private Richard Forker, age 24, of
Bellefonte. Injuries of the hip, and
lacerations of the forehead. Suffer-
ing from shock. Condition fairly
good.
Private Robert Hillard, age 21, of
Bellefonte. Injuries of the left knee.
Condition fairly good.
Private Oliver P. M. Smith, age 44,
of Bellefonte. Bruises about the
body, and to the right foot, as well as
bad case of shock. Condition fairly
good.
Private William Haverling, aged 21,
of Harrisburg. Suffering from shock
and bruises about the body. Condition
fairly good.
Ammerman is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Ammerman, of Thomas street,
and has been working as a clerk in
Montgomery & Co’s store. Mrs. Am-
merman went to Johnstown Wednes-
day morning to see her son.
Forker is originally from Curtin
but has beeen living in Bellefonte for
some time and is employed at the
Pennsylvania match factory.
Hillard is from Coleville and is said
to be a sober, industrious young man.
Private Smith is better known in
Bellefonte as Morton Smith, and is
assistant postmaster in the Bellefonte
postoffice.
Little is known here about Carroll
and Haverling, who are supposed to
be from Harrisburg.
From reliable sources it is learned
that Troop B had been held at Cone-
maugh from the time of its arrival in
Cambria county on Friday evening
until Tuesday when orders were is-
sued for the troop to go to Jenners,
Somerset county, about nineteen miles
from Johnstown. Trucks from the
motor truck company, of Shamokin,
were detailed to transport the troops.
Three truck loads made the trip, the
first getting to the camp without mis-
hap. The second truck was the one
which figured in the accident. First
lieutenant Roy H. Grove, of Troop B,
told the following story of the acci-
dent:
“The road takes a sharp turn to the
left into the gate of the camp site.
The first truck, on which I was riding
got through the gate all right.
“The driver of the second truck,
however, failed to get his steering
wheel straightened out in time, and
the machine went over the bank, mak-
ing a drop of fourteen feet to the wa-
ter below. He apparently lost his
grip on the steering wheel and was
unable to turn back on the road. The
truck turned over in the water, prac-
tically all of the fifteen men on it be-
ing thrown clear. We found Corporal
Sager doubled up, apparently in great
suffering. The other six men had ap-
parently jumped from the truck, and
were not so badly hurt.”
Word f the accident was telephon-
ed to Beliefonte and Mr. and Mrs. Sa-
ger and son George left in an automo-
bile for Johnstown but being apprised
of their son’s death when they reach-|
ed Altoona they returned to Belle-
fonte.
The dead soldier, Albert Sager, was
a son of Elmer and Mary Meese Sa-
ger and was born in Spring township
on February 21st, 1902; hence was 20
years, 5 months and 4 days old. His
entire life was spent in Bellefonte and
vicinity. For a number of years past
he had been employed by the Penn-
sylvania Match company, as a feeder
of their box folding machine. He was
serving his third year as a member of
Troop B and just recently had been
promoted from a private to a corpor-
al.
In addition to his parents he is sur-
vived by the following brothers and
sisters: William J. Sager, George H,,
Henry E., who is second li.atenant of
Troop B.; Anna, Elizabeth, Gilbert,
Joseph and Ella. The remains, ac-
companied by Lieut. Sager and private
John Lucas, were brought to Belle-
fonte on the Pennsylvania-Lehigh
train Wednesday afternoon and taken
to the Sager home on Halfmoon hill.
Funeral services will be held in the
United Evangelical church at 2:30
o'clock this (Friday) afternoon by
Rev. Reed O. Seely, and burial in the
Union cemetery will be made with the
honors of war.
