NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— The extreme heat wave which
prevailed all of last week and over
Sunday was broken on Monday after-
noon with a hard rain storm that was
general over most of Centre county.
—A record in freight business at
the Bellefonte freight station of the
Pennsylvania railroad was established
during the month of August. A total
of two thousand cars of outgoing and
incoming freight were checked up dui-
ing the twenty-seven days, the largest
number ever recorded in one month.
And this, considering the fact that
coal shipments to Bellefonte were
very small.
The weather last week was
about as hot as any we have had this
year but the movie fans were comfor-
table at the Scenic. The big fans
keep the temperature down and the
circulation up. Good pictures attract
large crowds and that is the kind
shown at the Scenic. Every film is as
near up to the minute as it is possible
to get and best releases are found on
every program.
The traveling dental clinic of
the State Health Department will be-
gin a week of demonstrations in the
High school building next Monday
morning. From here, the car will go
to Philipsburg and then to State Col-
lege. After these demonstrations, the
dental hygienist, Miss Grace Kelsey,
will spend two months in the schools
of each of the three places. The hy-
gienist is provided by the Tuberculo-
sis committee from the sale of Christ-
mas seals. The demonstrations are
open to any one interested.
——A big field meet for Knights
Templar of Central Pennsylvania
will be held at State College next
Thursday, September 21st, which will
undoubtedly prove a gala gathering.
The field meet will include the com-
manderies in the 10th Pennsylvania
district, namely: Lewistown, Hunt-
ingdon, Philipsburg and Bellefonte.
The program will include a short drill
and review on the college campus in
the afternoon and a big dance in the
armory in the evening. A number of
the grand commandery officers are ex-
pected to be present at the meet.
Tha venerable Hezekiah K.
Hoy is in a serious condition at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Clayton
Royer, on south Water street, as the
result of a fall he sustained last Fri-
day afternoon. Mr. Hoy was eighty-
seven years old last February and
naturally is quite frail. He has fallen
several times recently as the result
of weakness but always escaped in-
jury until his fall last Friday, when
his left arm was broken in two places,
at the shoulder and elbow.
FARMER KILLED BY AUTO.
Irvin Dorman Met Death on Way
Home from Granger’s Picnic.
Irvin Dorman, a well known Nitta-
ny valley farmer, was run down and
killed on the state highway just below
Hublersburg, shortly after ten o’clock
last Thursday night, while on his way
home from the Granger’s picnic, by a
car driven by Merrill Nolan, of Hus-
ton. Dorman was one of a par-
ty of six men who went from
Hublersburg to Centre Hall for the
picnic. Returning home they arrived
in Hublersburg a few minutes after
ten o’clock and the men all separated
to walk to their homes. Dorman lived
on the farm right below Hublersburg
and in company with Frank Weaver
and Anthony Wolfe, started for home.
Weaver and Wolfe stopped at the old
hotel pump to get a drink while Dor-
man walked on, crossing the street to
the right side of the road. After get-
ting a drink Weaver and Wolfe walk-
ed on, the former stopping at his
home and the latter walking on to the
front of his home where he saw a
man’s hat lying in the grass. A little
further on he saw a man lying along-
side of the road, and he called to Wea-
ver to come to his assistance. By the
time Weaver got there a car came up
the road and stopped. It proved to be
the car driven by young Nolan and he
told the two men that he had hit the
man. That just as he was driving
along Dorman stepped from the side
of the road directly in front of his car
and he had no time to turn to the side
and evade hitting him.
Mr. Dorman was picked up and
placed in the car and Nolan drove him
to the home of a physician who pro-
nounced him dead. A close exam-
ination disclosed the fact that his neck
was broken and death was instantane-
ous. Nolan then took the body home.
An inquest was held the next day and
the verdict of the jury was that Dor-
man had met his death as the result
of an unavoidable accident. Nolan,
who is a student at State College, was
on his way home from the College and
was driving a Buick car. From all in-
dications Dorman had been hit on the
back by the right-hand lamp and fall-
ing backwards his head hit the radia-
tor with force enough to break his
neck. Nolan ran several hundred feet
before he got his car stopped, then
turned around and went back to the
scene.
The unfortunate victim of the acci-
dent was a son of John and Ellen Dor-
man and was born near Snydertown
on August 21st, 1875, hence was 47
years and 16 days old. He was a far-
mer by occupation and all his life had
been spent within two and a half miles
of the place of his birth. He married
Miss Kate Fisher and she survives,
with no children. He leaves, however,
his aged mother, who made her home
with him, and the following brothers
and sisters: Mrs. William Vonada, of
He was | Zion; Mrs. Holloway Hoy, of Hublers-
promptly carried to the home of his! burg; Lewis Dorman, of Howard; John
daughter where his two grand-daugh- | and Edward, of Snydertown;
ters, both professional nurses, are
taking care of him. Owing to his ad-
vanced age and frail condition no at-
tempt has been made to reduce the
fracture of his arm.
Bellefonte Chapter No. 241,
Royal Arch Masons, had an exemplifi-
cation of degree work on Tuesday
afternoon which was witnessed by a
number of officers of the Grand Chap-
ter including Joseph Quimby, of Me-
dia, grand high priest; John M. Core,
of Uniontown, grand king; Thomas
McConnell, Philadelphia, grand treas-
urer; Edward W. Rushton, of Wayne,
grand chaplain; Robert D. Cole, of
Philadelphia, head of the school of in-
struction, and A. Crisswell Smith, of
Media, past grand high priest. The
degree work was exemplified by chap-
ter teams from Troy, Pa., Lock Ha-
ven, Williamsport and Bellefonte, the
visitors coming to Bellefonte in auto-
mobiles. A big banquet was held in
the Masonic Temple at six o’clock.
———The home of Mr. and Mrs. El-
mer Clark, at Waddle, was the scene
of a very pleasant social gathering,
last Friday evening, the guests pres-
ent being Mr. and Mrs. William Barr,
#heir son Eugene and his wife, and
“their younger son, David Barr, of Pit-
cairn, who have been visiting friends
in the valley; Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Bloom with their sons Gray, Glenn
and Harold; Mrs. Davis Gummo, their
son Ray and daughter Ruth; Mrs.
Gilbert Rice, Mrs. John Carney, Mr.
and Mrs. Harvey Baisor with their two
children, Nellie Eleanor and William;
John Clark, wife and family, all resi-
dents of the valley, and Miss Ray Bid-
dle, of State College. Refreshments
were served during the evening and
all present had a delightful time. Mr.
Clark, by the way, is spending a few
days this week with friends in Altoo-
na.
Arthur Bickel, who has been
acting as a guard at the Rockview pen-
itentiary for some time past, proved
a bad actor on Saturday morning and
will now have to stand trial at the
next term of court for aggravated as-
sault and battery. Bickel and family
live on the corner of Lamb and Ridge
streets and Saturday morning resi-
dents in that locality sent in a call for
the police, claiming that Bickel was
killing his wife. The police could not
be located and sheriff Dukeman re-
sponded. When he arrived at the
house the turmoil was over but he
found Mrs. Bickel with a badly cut and
bruised face as the result of her hus-
band’s beating. The woman was sent
to a doctor and Mr. Bickel placed un-
der arrest and taken to jail. It was
rumored that he had a still in the cel-
lar for the manufacture of moonshine
whiskey but a search by the officers
failed to reveal anything of the kind.
Mrs.
Harry Boyer, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Ad-
am Fraley, of Nittany; Arthur, of Al-
toona, and Miss Sancta Dorman, su-
perintendent of the hospital at Reno-
vo.
Mr. Dorman was a member of the
Lutheran church for twenty-five years
and his pastor, Rev. Dingman, had
charge of the funeral services which
were held at his late home at 10
o’clock on Monday morning, burial be-
ing made in the Snydertown cemetery.
That Big Community Sale.
Only twelve more days until the
date of the big community sale to be
held in Bellefonte, which will be on
Wednesday, September 27th. While
this sale will be an innovation for
Centre county it is not an experiment.
It has been tried out in a number of
towns throughout the State and in
every case proved a profitable under-
taking. A similar sale held at Belle-
ville, Mifflin county, two weeks ago
was largely attended.
The success of the community sale
to be held in Bellefonte will depend
entirely on the interest taken by far-
mers and others. The committee in
charge is already assured of a num-
ber of head of blooded stock and farm
implements, but the sale will not be
limited to stock and implements.
Household furniture, fruit and vege-
tables, or anything you have to offer
will be put up for sale that day. Ex-
perienced auctioneers have been se-
cured while competent men will be in
charge of the sale.
As an extra inducement to come to
Bellefonte that day the merchants of
the town will put on special sales of
various articles. It will not be a dol-
lar day sale but some of the bargains
offered will be more advantageous.
Therefore, if you have anything you
want to dispose of, send or bring it to
the community sale; or if there is
something you would like to buy come
to the sale and you may be fortunate
enough to get it.

Flying Parson Killed.
Lieut. Belvin W. Maynard, better
known as the “flying parson,” was
killed at the Rutland, Vt. fair last
Thursday, where he was doing stunts
as a member of a “flying circus.”
The lieutenant’s mechanician and one
passenger, who were with him in his
areoplane, were also killed. The lieu-
tenant attempted a tail spin at a low
altitude and was not able to right his
machine which fell to earth close to
the fair grounds fence. Lieut. May-
nard visited Bellefonte several years
ago, spending a night in town. Dur-
ing the past year or two he had been
engaged exclusively in commercial
and exhibition flying.
Milesburg’s Seldier’s Monument Erect-
ed on Tuesday.
The statue of the soldiers monu-
ment erected by the citizens of Miles-
burg and Boggs township arrived on
Monday and was placed upon the ped-
estal and draped on Tuesday. The
firm which furnished the statue aver
that it is as fine a piece of work as
they ever put out.
The citizens of Milesburg will hold
a meeting this (Friday) evening to
select the date and make preliminary
arrangements for the unveiling of the
monument. U. S. Senator David Reed"
has given assurance that he will be
present at the dedication and a big
military display is to be a feature. In
fact the committee has been assured
by military officers that five troops of
cavalry will be there for the big day.
The Second of the Series of Musicales.
The second of the series of music-
ales given for the joint benefit of the,
Bellefonte hospital and the music
club will be at the home of Mrs. John
Blanchard from three to five o'clock
Thursday afternoon, September twen-
ty-first. Every one is cordially invit-
ed, whether the card of invitation has
been received or not.
The program for the second after-
noon will be especially attractive. In
addition to vocal solos by Miss Mil-
dred Locke and Mrs. Robert Walker
there will be a violin solo by Mrs.
Louis Schad, piano solos by Miss Sara
Smith, Miss Louise Barnhart and Miss
Rebecca Pugh Lyon. There will be a
men’s quartette and a double trio of
women’s voices, accompanied by two
violins. Mrs. Louis Schad and Miss
Magdalene Sunday will accompany
Mrs. George P. Bible, Mrs. Ambrose
Schmidt, Mrs. Alberta Krader, Mrs.

The Police Are Protecting School
Children.
The Fire and Police committee of
council have made a new regulation
that should bring considerable relief
to parents of school children, who may
be concerned for the safety of their
little ones while going to and from
school.
An extra police officer has been en-
gaged to patrol Bishop street between
the hours of 8 and 9 a. m., from 12 to
1:30 p. m. and from 4 to 5 p. m. A
regular officer will be on duty on Al-
legheny street during the same hours.
It will be the duty of these officers
to keep children on the side-walks and
check up on motorists who drive
recklessly or exceed the speed limit.
It might also be noted here that the
police headquarters for night service
has been changed to the Undine and
Logan engine houses. Any person
needing an officer during the night
will find one at either one of the en-
gine houses on the even hour.
Dry’s Restaurant Damaged by Fire.
The restaurant of Howard Dry, in
the McClain block, was considerably
damaged by fire last Saturday even-
ing, but fortunately the flames were
confined to the kitchen. The fire oc-
curred shortly before six o’clock. Mr.
Dry uses a gasoline coffee percolator.
When he attempted to light the burn-
er the flame shot up unusually high
and in jerking his arm away he broke
the gasoline feed pipe. The result
was the flames communicated to the
gasoline and quickly spread to the
woodwork. Mr. Dry was badly burn-
ed on the face and right hand but
with the employees in the restaurant
quickly made his escape and sent in
an alarm of fire. Both companies
responded promptly and the Undines
used their chemical hose through a
rear window with good success. Wa-
ter was also thrown in from a fire
plug and the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished.
The kitchen part of the restaurant
was badly damaged by fire while the
entire room was damaged by the
smoke and heat the latter being in-
tense enough to break the glass in the
front door. Mr. Dry carried no insur-
ance on his equipment but the build-
ing, which is owned by the Bush es-
tate, is insured.
Locomotive Fireman Had Narrow
Escape.
E. T. Ammerman, of Tyrone, fire-
man on local freight on the Bald Ea-
gle Valley railroad, had a miraculous
escape last Saturday morning. His
train was westbound on Saturday and
stopped at the water tank in the Belle-
fonte yard for water. Ammerman
manipulated the big pipe running
from the water tank to the tender of
the engine and when the latter was
filled the engineer in some way mis-
understood the signal and started his
engine before Ammerman had the
pipe pulled up out of the way. The
result was he was swept from the
tender, falling down between it and
the first car. Fortunately he did not
fall on the rails but was caught un-
der the car and rolled along the track
some distance before the train could
be stopped.
Members of the train crew were
horrified at what had happened and
expected to find Ammerman’s body
badly mangled but instead he was able
to crawl out from under the train. He
sustained a bad cut on the head, on
the right arm and his back, while his
face was badly bruised, but no bones
were broken. After hawing his in-
juries properly dressed he sat on a
chair at the depot until the arrival of
the Lehigh-Pennsylvania train when
he left for his home in Tyrone.
Girl Falls into Cistern and
~ Drowns.
Little Betty Norris, eldest child of
Mr. and Mrs. George Norris, who live
above Roopsburg on the Buffalo Run
road, fell into the cistern at the home
of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Lewis Marshall, last Saturday morn-
ing, and was dead when discovered.
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall spent last
week at the Granger’s pichic at Cen-
tre Hall and during their absence Mr.
and Mrs. Norris (Mrs. Norris being a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall)
lived at the Marshall home and looked
after the stock.
The Marshalls returned home on
Friday but the Norris’ remained as
the women folks had a lot of canning
to do. Saturday morning the men
went out into the orchard near the
house to pick some peaches leaving
Mrs. Norris and the little girl at the
house. The mother finally missed her
daughter and called to the men in the
orchard to know if she was with them.
On learning that she was not she ran
to the cistern and looked down and
saw her child lying face down on
the bottom of the cistern. Her ago-
nized screams brought help and it was
only a few minutes until the child was
removed from the cistern and a phy-
sician summoned. The latter worked
almost two hours in an effort to re-
store life but without avail.
The cistern into which the child fell
is nine feet deep and contained four
feet of water. The top on it was in
bad repair but it was covered over
with heavy boards, leaving only a
small space between them and how
Betty fell through is a mystery.
The accident happened between eleven
and twelve o'clock and the little girl
was in the water not over twenty min-
utes.
Her full name was Betty Marie
Norris and she was a daughter of
George and Etta Marshall Norris, be-
ing 2 years, 2 months and 2 days old.
In addition to the parents a baby
brother, Russell Lewis, survives. Rev.
David R. Evans had charge of the fun-
eral services which were held at two
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon at the
Marshall home, after which burial
was made in the Meyers cemetery.

Young Man Electrocuted
While Testing Motors.
Richard K. Lukenbach, only son of
Frank K. Lukenbach, of Tyrone, was
electrocuted while testing electric mo-
tors at the Westinghouse plant, in
Pittsburgh, about three o’clock last
Friday morning. Three thousand volts
passed through his body and death
was instantaneous. Mr. Lukenbach
was night foreman in the testing de-
partment and it was while in the dis-
charge of his regular duties that the
accident occurred.
Richard Kreamer Lukenbach was a
son of Frank K. and Katherine Bul-
lock Lukenbach and was born in Phil-
ipsburg on August 7th, 1898, hence
was 24 years and one month old.
When five years old his parents mov-
ed to Tyrone and it was there he grew
to manhood and received his prelimi-
nary education in the Tyrone schools.
Later he took a course at St. Albans
College, Washington, D. C., then en-
tered State College for a course in
electrical engineering. When the Unit-
ed States entered the world war he
went to Lehigh and trained for the U.
S. navy and when peace was declared
he returned to State College and com-
pleted his course. After his gradua-
tion he accepted a position with the
Westinghouse company and had al-
ready risen to the position of foreman
in the testing department.
He is survived by his father and
one sister, Miss Katherine, both of
Tyrone. The remains were brought
to Bellefonte by motor hearse on Sun-
day afternoon and funeral services
held in St. John’s Episcopal church at
four o'clock. Rev. M. DePui Maynard
officiated and burial was made in the
Bellefonte Union cemetery.
Tyrone
Many Foreigners Leave Bellefonte.
A delegation of thirty or more for-
eigners, mostly Italians, with their
wives and babies, left Bellefonte in a
bunch on the 9:17 train yesterday
morning for Tarrs, Westmoreland
county, to work in the coal mines. All
the men had been employed at the
various stone quarries hereabouts,
most of them with the American Lime
and Stone company, and have had
work regularly all last winter and
during the summer. But they could
not withstand the call from the coal
fields now that the strike has been
settled. They failed to take into con-
sideration that their work here was
regular every day, while in th® coal
mines they are lucky if they average
four and five days a week. Most of
the men who left were of the younger
element and they shipped their house-
hold goods on Wednesday.
But their going will not cripple the
limestone industries in this section to
any extent, or for any length of time.
Five men came here on Wednesday
and fifteen more yeserday to take the
places of those who left and by the
end of the week the quarries will
probably be full-handed again.
— The Bellefonte Academy open-
ed on Wednesday but it will probably
be several days before the final roll
is made up and the exact number of
students known. Judging from the
number of strange young men seen on
the streets it would seem as if the at-
tendance will be up to that of last year
in point of numbers, and there are so
many huskies among the bunch that
the Academy coach ought to have lit-
tle difficulty in picking out a good
football eleven.

Bellefonte Soldiers Return from the
Coal Fields.
Bellefonte’s two units of the Na-
tional Guard, the headquarters troop
and Troop B, of the 52nd machine gun
battalion, as well as Troop A, of
Boalsburg, returned home last Thurs-
day night after being on guard duty
in the coal fields of western Pennsylva-
nia since July 21st. The soldiers were
scheduled to reach Bellefonte by sev-
en o'clock in the evening but the troop
train was held up by a slight freight
wreck and it was after eleven o’clock
when they reached Bellefonte. The
soldier boys were met at the depot by
the Odd Fellows band and escorted to
the armory. They were discharged
from duty on Friday afternoon. All
of the men were considerably sun-
browned but in good health; neverthe-
less they were glad to get home.
