ticipated.
— Centre county had two heavy
frosts this week, on Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings. Fortunately,
the farm and garden crops have pass-
ed that stage where they suffered

» “Watchman” subscribers of the
western end of the county will miss
our usual Pine Grove Mills letter this
week but it is one of those things that
must be overlooked. Our wide-awake
correspondent, Capt. W. H. Fry, is out
in DesMoines, Iowa, attending the
annual national encampment of the
G. A. R. and from a brief letter re-
ceived at this office the other day we
imagine that he is having an interest-
ing trip. He spent Sunday in Chi-
cago, where he met up with Hugh L.
Swartz and George B. Turner, two
former Centre countians who took
him in tow and piloted him around the
Windy city. From Chicago to Des
Moines he journeyed with delegates
from all over the east. Mr. Fry’s
main object in going to the convention
this year is to boost in favor of Wash-
ington, D. C., as the place for next
year’s convention.
KILLED BY ENRAGED BULL.
Reed Allison, of Jacksonville, Gored
and Trampled to Death on
Sunday.
Reed Allison, twelve year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Allison, living
near Jacksonville, was gored and
trampled to death on Sunday morning
by an enraged bull and his brother,
Archie Allison, two years younger,
was badly injured before being res-
cued from the infuriated animal. The
bull belongs to the Allison herd and
is a two year old Holstein, weighing
1300 pounds, and with a rather vicious
disposition.
He was out in the field with a
neighbor’s cows and about 11:30
o’clock on Sunday morning Mr. Alli-
son sent his two boys out on horseback
to bring the animal in to the barn.
He cautioned them not to get off of
the horses as the bull might attack
them. The boys got the animal sep-
arated from the cows but he put up
a stubborn fight about leaving the
field. Notwithstanding his father’s
caution Archie, the younger of the
boys, got off of his horse to head off
the animal. The bull promptly charg-
ed him, knocked him down and drop-
ped on his knees on the prostrate
body. The family dog had followed
the boys to the field and he made for
the bull which distracted his attention
from the boy so that he turned on the
dog. In the meantime Reed Allison,
the older boy, jumped from his horse
to go to his brother’s assistance and
seeing him the bull charged him head
down, caught him on his horns and
tossed him in the air, caught him as
he fell and tossed him again then as
he fell to the ground pawed the life
out of him with his sharp hoofs.
When the bull attacked Reed he called
to his brother Archie, who had man-
aged to get onto his feet, to go to the
house for help. Suffering untold ag-
ony the little lad managed to make
his way to the fence and crawl
through.
In the meantime the father, becom-
ing alarmed at the long absence of
his sons, started for the field and met
Archie. He asked for Reed and Arch-
ie told him the bull had killed him and
he was lying in the field. A neigh-
bor happened along and he accom-
panied Mr. Allison into the field and
helped to recover Reed’s body. All
his clothing had been torn off and
the boy was badly crushed and man-
gled. While driving the bull to the
barn the animal charged one of the
men but was driven off without doing
further injury. Mri. Allison sold the
beast on Monday and it was taken
away the same day.
Archie, the injured boy, is in a very
precarious condition at this writing.
His chest is crushed and almost every
rib broken.
The Allison family have lived in the
vicinity of Jacksonville for many
years and the shocking tragedy has
cast a gloom over that locality.
Reed, the unfortunate victim, was an
unusually bright boy and had many
young friends. In addition to his
parents he is survived by the follow-
ing brothers and sisters: Austin,
Madge, Jeannette, Mabel Jane, Lois,
Archie and Joe.
Funeral services were held on Wed-
nesday at the Allison home and burial
made at Howard.
Jail Population Increased.
The population of the Centre coun-
ty jail was increased by the addition
of two on Monday, both men being
brought here from Philipsburg. One
man was John Thomas, who claims
Scranton as his home town, and who
was arrested on the charge of break-
ing into and robbing the store of S. E.
Twigg, at Sandy Ridge, on the night
of September 20th. Various articles
of the stolen merchandise were found
in the possession of. Thomas and in
default of five hundred dollars bail he
was committed to jail to await trial
at the next term of court.
The other man committed was C.
A. Beckwith, of Bald Eagle, charged
with assault and battery upon the per-
son of E. B. Shirk. It appears that
some time ago Mr. Shirk was a wit-
ness against Mr. Beckwith in a trial
in court and his testimony proved det-
rimental to the latter’s case. Beck-
with weighs about two hundred
pounds while Shirk is a small man
and when the two men met on a lone-
ly road in Rush township, one day last
week, Beckwith took advantage of
the meeting to give Shirk a thorough
beating. Beckwith was later arrest-
ed and in default of one thousand dol-
lar’s bail was committed to jail for
trial.
Mail Receptacles Required.
Brief announcement has already
been made in this paper of a ruling
by the Postoffice Department requir-
ing all patrons of first and second
class postoffices to place a receptacle
at their home for the receipt of mail
delivered by the carrier, thus insur-
ing safe and prompt delivery.
If patrons will consider that a delay
of half a minute at a number of plac-
es might be the cause of the patrons
on the end of the route being deprived
of their mail, possibly causing incon-
venience, it can readily be seen
that such a ruling is only in line with
the department's desire to give effi-
cient service to all. As the carmers
work on a schedule it is imperative
that they lose as little time as possi-
ble. A slot in the door is preferable
to any kind of receptacle for the rea-
son that it is much more convenient
for the carrier, protects your mail
from the elements and is always se-
cure from intrusion when all members
of the family are away from home.
U. B. Church Appeintments.
The annual Allegheny conference of
the United Brethren church closed its
sessions at Portage on Sunday with
the announcement of the appoint-
ments. Rev. George E. Smith was re-
turned to the Bellefonte church and
other appointments in Centre county
are as follows:
Houserville—A. B. Thompson.
Philipsburg—J. H. Bridigum.
Port Matilda—C. E. Showers.
Runville—G. A. Sparks.
Zion—J. V. Mountain.
Shuffle Along.
The official opening of the legiti-
mate theatrical season in Bellefonte
will take place next Wednesday even-
ing, October 4th, with the appearance
of “Shuffle Along” at the opera house.
This musical extravaganza will be pre-
sented by a colored troupe of almost
fifty people. The original company
played two years at a music hall in
New York and they opened this sea-
son at Asbury Park in August. They
played a week’s stand and were re-
called for another week. The com-
pany carries its own orchestra and
the play is replete with tuneful mel-
odies. Judging from press notices
“Shuffle Along” should prove a very
interesting entertainment and one
well worth going to see.
Alpiners to Meet Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day when the
Pennsylvania Alpine club will meet at
Milesburg and make their pilgrimage
over the Allegheny mountains to
Snow Shoe where they will camp for
the night. A big campfire will be
held in the evening at which the main
speaker will be Major Robert Y. Stu-
art, commissioner of forestry for
Pennsylvania. Col. Henry W. Shoe-
maker, president of the club, will also
be in attendance. Alpiners from all
over the central part of the State have
signified their intention of joining in
the pilgrimage. They will meet at
Milesburg and the start on the trip
over the mountain will be made at
10:30 o'clock. Any one interested in
joining the Alpiners on their trip can
do so.
The League of Women Voters Con-
vention.
The League of Women Voters of
Centre county will hold their annual
convention at Camp Boal, Boalsburg,
today (Friday). The morning session
will open at ten o'clock. A box
luncheon will be held at noon and the
afternoon session will start at 1:30.
Candidates of both parties have
been invited to speak at the afternoon
session and some have accepted. The
convention will close in time to allow
all those who wish to do so to go to
State College to hear Mr. Pinchot
speak on the campus.
All women interested in public af-
fairs are invited to be present. Those
wishing to go by automobile will kind-
ly communicate with Mrs. Robert
Mills Beach. Automobiles will run
from Bellefonte to Boalsburg.
Football Season Will Open in Belle-
fonte Tomorrow.
The football season in Bellefonte
will open in earnest when the Poto-
mac State school eleven, of Keyser,
W. Va., and the Academy team clash
on Hughes field at 2:30 p. m. Saturday,
September 30th. These elevens,
which played a 0-0 game at Clarks-
burg, W. Va., on Armistice day last
year, are evenly matched and will
give an exhibition of real college foot-
ball. “Stars” from leading “prep”
school teams of last year will face
each other in this contest. Players
from New England, New Jersey, New
York, West Virginia and Pennsylva-
nia will fight for the Academy’s hon-
or. The Potomac school will have
players from the leading southern
schools. In fact it will be a test of
the northern and southern “prep”
schools as to football spirit and
strength. Don’t miss the game. Com-
petent officials will be in charge.
Potato Raising Demonstration.
Are you interested in more econom-
ical potato production? If so, be sure
to attend the potato raising at the
farm of A. C. Kepler, two miles west
of Pine Grove Mills on Saturday,
September 30th, at 9:30 a. m. One of
the most important single factors in
economical potato production is good
seed. Mr. Kepler has co-operated
with the Farm Bureau in conducting
seed source tests on both early and
late potatoes. Irish cobblers from
four different sources gave as much
as 117 bushels per acre difference be-
tween the poorest and the best. The
four sources of Russets will be raised
and yields per acre estimated on Sat-
urday.
A check on the efficiency of spray-
ing has also been kept and the com-
parison of sprayed and unsprayed po-
tatoes will be of interest to many who
have not yet practiced : raying as
one of the essentials in mest econom-
ical potato production.
Mr. Kepler's field is one of the best
potato fields in Centre county and has
attracted much favorable comment
throughout the summer. Growers
should be interested in seeing how
they roll out and in getting the yields
per acre.
On this same trip there will be an
opportunity to see one of the best
small orchards in the county, and see
there first hand what spraying has
done to eliminate disease and produce
more and better fruit.
Nixon will be the speaker for the
occasion. Better go!
Community Sale in Bellefonte Deemed
a Success by Promoters.
The first community sale ever held
in Centre county was pulled off in
Bellefonte on Wednesday and while
the crowd was not up to expectations
those who had the sale in charge pro-
nounced it a success and feel encour-
aged to hold another one at some fu-
ture date. Various causes might be
assigned for the nominal attendance,
chief among which was the lack of
stimulating advertising, but this will
not happen at any future sales.
The stuff offered for sale ranged
all the way from second hand automo-
biles to small pieces of furniture. Six
autos were offered but only two were
sold, as the others were put up with
a reservation price. The stock includ-
ed eight horses, two young bulls, a
half dozen calves, five hogs, several
dozen pigs, and a fair assortment of
household furniture. The sale was
advertised to start at 9:30 o’clock in
the morning but it was eleven when
auctioneer L. Frank Mayes mounted
the block and announced the sale
open. The household furniture was
sold first and brought fair prices. A
roll top desk and chair was bid up to
$31.00. Parlor suits, bedroom suits,
tables, chairs, etc., were among the
articles sold.
Livestock for the sale was furnish-
ed by W. F. Rishel and W. A. Heck-
man, of Centre Hall; Joseph Fleming,
of Pennsylvania Furnace; A. J. Har-
tle, of Bellefonte, R. F. D.; D. C.
Heaton, of Snow Shoe, and others.
Hogs sold as high as $26 and pigs
went for $5.00. An eighteen month’s
old bull sold for $125, while calves
sold from $10 to $40. The best horse
offered went at $126 while the cheap-
est was knocked down at $25. The
sale totalled close to $2,000.
The sale was backed by the Asso-
ciated Business Men of Bellefonte
but was almost entirely in charge of
John B. Payne, vocational director of
Centre county. Assisting him were J.
T. Wilson and S. Howard Cummings,
of Belleville, where a similar sale was
pulled off only a few weeks ago. Lo-
cal men who also assisted were Dr.
S. M. Nissley, G. Oscar Gray, J. L.
Robinson, county farm agent, and
others. Auctioneer Mayes performed
his work for a nominal fee and is
therefore entitled to credit for aid-
ing in the success of the sale, as he
worked hard to get the best prices
possible.
Bellefonte merchants did not profit
as much by the sale as they hoped
for, because the crowd was not up to
expectations. However, they did a
fair business and believe that a sec-
ond sale might result differently.
High-Class Eentertainment Course.
~The music department and the
Young Men’s Christian Association of
State College will present a high-class
