Dr. H. W. Reed is again making
~preparations for his long delayed
western trip which will include a
.. course at the Mayo sanitorium, at
Rochester, Minn., and during his ab-
sence his Bellefonte practice will be
jin charge of Dr. H. M. James. The
latter has been in Bellefonte for sev-
«eral weeks familiarizing himself with
the work. He is a native of Wilkes-
‘Barre but most of the time since his
graduation has been connected with
the army and for some years was sta-
tioned in California.
Up to the time of going to press
Centre county authorities have not
succeeded in capturing Thomas Wol-
foid, the check forger, who reaped
such a harvest in Bellefonte two
weeks ago by passing forged checks.
He has been trailed to Buffalo, N. Y.,
but the authorities there have been
unable to locate him. Since the pub-
lication of the “Watchman” last week
a number of other checks have turned
up on which he secured the money,
and the district attorney will have in
the neighborhood of half a dozen in-
ANOTHER FATAL GUNSHOT.
Irvin Meiss, of Colyer, Killed by Gun
in Hands of Companion.
Irvin Meiss, only son of Mr. and
Mrs. George R. Meiss, of Colyer, was
almost instantly killed at one o’clock
Wednesday afternoon as the result of
a gunshot wound in the right groin.
The young man, who assisted his fath-
er in the store, had gone out on the
store porch to do some work and while
there Charles Taylor, fifteen year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor, came
along carrying a pump shotgun. He
stopped to talk to young Meiss as they
had always been good friends and
quite intimate.
The boys were standing about six
feet apart when suddenly the gun was
discharged and Meiss fell mortally
wounded. His father and others ran
from the store and a hasty examina-
tion showed that the entire load of
shot had passed htrough his hand
and into his right groin, sever-
ing the superficial femoral artery at
the point where it leads off from the
common, or main artery. Dr. H. H.
Longwell was promptly summoned
but as the wound was at a place where
it was impossible to staunch the flow
of blood the young man bled to death
in a few minutes.
Later in the afternoon an inquest
was held by justice of the peace Frank
A. Carson, of Potters Mills, and the
folowing jury: Daniel Daup, A. B.
Lee, William Reiber, James Spangler,
Frank Treaster and William Nevil.
There was no direct eye witness to
the tragedy and all the evidence ob-
tained was in confirmation of the
above account of the shooting. So far
as could be learned the boys had been
talking in a friendly manner so that
there was no reason to even suspect
that the shooting was wilfull. The
jury, however, did find that the acci-
dent was the result of carelessness on
the part of the Taylor boy, and so
stated in their verdict. At this writ-
ing it has not been decided whether
any legal action will be taken against
him or not.
Irvin Meiss was going on nineteen
years old and was born and raised at
Colyer. In addition to his parents he
is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Roy
Martz, of Old Fort; Mrs. George Yar-
nell and Mrs. John Jordan, both of
Colyer, and Miss Ellen, at home.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been made at this writing.
The Panthers are On the Trail Again.
After lying dormant for several
years the Panthers have again become
active and arc now running rampant
in the fastnesses of the Allegheny
mountains, their main object being
deer, but until it becomes legal to kill
those animals they will probably gob-
ble up all the pheasants, wild turkeys,
etc., that get within their reach. By
“the Panthers” we mean the hunting
club of that name composed of Belle-
! fonte hunters, and including such nim-
rods as postmaster John L. Knisely,
W. C. Cassidy, all of this place, and
Thomas Moore, of Philadelphia. With
their bag and baggage, provisions, ete.
in a big truck they left on Saturday
morning for the foothills of the Al-
leghenies back of Orviston where they
will spend two weeks. There was a
time when the Panthers came home
loaded with glory and five deer, and
naturally all their friends are hoping
that they will have as good luck this
year.
Postmaster Knisely returned home
on Wednesday and among his stories
of camp stated that they had shot a
number of pheasants and rabbits and
were anxiously waiting for the open-
ing of the deer season. He also said
that on Tuesday a big buck, with a
splendid rack of horns came out of the
woods within fifty feet of Dave Wash-
burn, and was so astonished that he
stopped and stood for a minute at
least, looking at him, then continued
on his trail.
On Wednesday morning a big buck
and a doe came down off Bald Eagle
mountain above Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion, ran to within two hundred feet
of the railroad and watched the train
go by, then turned and loped back to
the mountain. They were probably
looking to see if there were any hunt-
ers on the train.
Pennsylvania Railroad Buys Property
in this Place.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has purchased from George M. Gam-
ble the house along the railroad below
the freight depot occupied by H. F.
Hartranft and also the vacant plot of
ground between the house and Lamb
street. A corps of surveyors. have
been at work during the week making
surveys in that locality but the pur-
pose has not been made public. The
old freight depot is too small for the
and there is a possibility that plans
may be made in the near future to en-
large the same and also increase ship-
ping facilities by putting in an extra
track, possibly on the west side of the
depot. So far as could be learned, no
definite plans have yet been made,
but the purchase of the above named
property gives the company opportu-
nity to make any improvements deem-
ed necessary in that locality.

fall this year last Saturday, and ac-
cording to the old saw that will mean
twenty-five snows this winter. Not a
very encouraging outlook, but if their
average is no deeper than the snow
we have had this week there will not

— Bellefonte people are again re-
minded of the fact that the Thanks-
giving donation for the Bellefonte
hospital will be collected today (Fri-
day). The hospital needs linens, pro-
visions and cash, so that anything you
can give will be acceptable. Every-
body should join in making this the
most bountiful donation ever made to
this institution. Have your donations
in readiness so that the collectors will
not be delayed in making their rounds
of the town.
Twelve cases of typhoid fever
were registered in the Cottage State
hospital, at Philipsburg, on Tuesday.
Eleven of the cases are from Morrig-
dale and vicinity and one from Osce-
ola Mills. The scarcity of pure water
for drinking and cooking purposes is
believed to be the cause of so many
cases. An effort will doubtless be
made to trace the source of the fever
germs in the hope of preventing a
general epidemic. In the meantime
the afflicted ones will be carefully
looked after by physicians and com-
petent nurses.

Four members of the Bellefonte
Academy football squad have a very
kindly feeling for a half dozen or more
Bellefonte business men. Last week
when arrangements were made for the
trip to Morgantown, W. Va., the man-
agement decided that twenty men
| was the
the available substitutes but the ex-
penses were limited and only twen-
ty men were scheduled for the trip.
In order that the other four young
men might not be disappointed the
business men chipped in and paid their
expenses for the trip to Morgantown
and back.
The big garage on the corner
of Bishop and Allegheny streets,
Bellefonte, was purchased last week
by George N. Dunlap, and other in-
terests, of Williamsport, for the pur-
pose of establishing a Cadillac agency
in Centre county. The garage was
built several years ago by John DP.
Kelley, of Snow Shoe, at a cost of
1 $110,000, or over, and has been occu-
{ pied by Willis E. Wion, agent for the
1 Nash and Franklin cars. Inasmuch as
| the sale was consummated while Mr.
! Wion was on a business trip east he
has not yet made his plans for the fu-
ture. The exact price paid by the
Williamsport people for the garage
has not been made public.
———A minor auto accident occurred
at the intersection of High and Spring
| streets, on Saturday afternoon. The
Frank M. Mayer mill truck was going
up High street and the driver at-
tempted to cut in around a Ford car
going north on Spring street, evident-
ly under the impression that the Ford
| car, in which were two women, would
| come down High street. But the wom-
(en were going through on Spring
{ street and their car caught the rear
end of the truck and was thrown
{ around in a circle. The woman at the
wheel did not faint or anything of the
kind. She stuck to the wheel, righted
her car and drove to the side of the
street, stopped and got out to take
stock of damage done. Fortunately,
neither machine was greatly damaged.
—— The stub of a cigarette came
very near causing a costly fire at the
Imperial gasoline station, on south
Potter street, Bellefonte, at noon on
Tuesday. In transferring gasoline
from the tank cars to the storage tank
and also in filling up the delivery tank
more or less gasoline is spilled with
the result that the ground in that vi-
cinity is generally pretty well soaked
with gasoline. At noon on Tuesday,
according to reports, the driver of the
delivery tank threw away a burning
stub of a cigarette and it fell on the
gas soaked ground. The gas ignited
and never anticipating any serious re-
sults the young man made no attempt
to extinguish the small flame. But it
rapidly grew bigger and in less than
a minute the flames shot up in the air
twenty feet. An alarm was sent in
and the fire companies responded, be-
ing able to put out the fire before it
reached the tank.
There is at least one man in
Pennsylvania who had cause to give
thanks today. He is Peter Christian,
of Lawrence county, who was to have
been electrocuted for murder at the
Rockview penitentiary on Monday,
but last week the Board of Pardons
granted him an unconditional pardon
and it was forwarded to the sheriff of
Lawrence county in time to warrant
Christian’s discharge for Thanksgiv-
ing. On May 1st, 1918, a gang of ban-
dits shot up the town of New Castle
and when the smoke of battle cleared
away policeman Cucia was lying dead
in the street. The bandits escaped to
Youngstown, Ohio, in a taxicab where
they engaged in a battle with officers
which resulted in the death of one of
their number and the wounding of a
Youngstown officer. Christian was ar-
‘rested as one of the gang, convicted
‘and sentenced to death. At the meet-
ing of the Board of Pardons last week
the condemned man’s attorneys pre-
sented proof that his was a case of
| mistaken identity and he was par-
doned. id
limit that could be taken.’

Aviation Field Contributors May be |
| Reimbursed.
! A move has been started in the
| Postoflice Department at Washington
| to have Congiess pass a $300,000 de-
! ficiency bill for the purpose of reim-
| pursing all voluntary contributors to
the establishment of aviation fields
for airmail purposes throughout the
| country, and if this is done Belle-
fonters will probably be reimbursed
for the money they put up when the
| field was established in this place.
! The move, it is understood, is the re-
sult of claims being made by contrib-
utors to the establishment of some of
the western fields, who aver that at
the time they were solicited for aid
representation was made by postoffice
inspectors that they would be reim-
bursed for any money advanced. Post-
| office inspectors visited Bellefonte re-
cently for the purpose of ascertaining
if such representations had been made
here, and were promptly informed that
such was not the case and that Belle-
fonte contributors have never expect-
ed their money back. But the depart-
ment is evidently of the opinion that
if contributors at some points are to
| be reimbursed it is only just and right
| that other places should be treated
| likewise, as last week they requested
| a statement of the amount of money
| advanced by Bellefonte people.
| Consequently a meeting of a por-
| tion of the contributors was held at
| the Y. M. C. A. on Friday afternoon
{and a survey of the various subsecrip-
tion lists made. It showed that Belle-
| fonte had contributed $2350 in cash,
not counting the lumber and labor,
| which were not considered. It was the
| sense of the meeting that if by doing
| so the status of the future of the
Bellefonte field was in nowise impair-
i ed Bellefonte people would accept the
i reimbursement, though such action is
not to be considered a demand for the
| same.
Farmer's Week at State College, De-
cember 18th to 21st.
Taking advantage of the holiday
vacation a series of farmer’s meetings
will be held at State College December
18th to 21st, and every farmer in the
county who can do so should attend.
The first session will be on Monday
evening, the 18th, and the meetings
will close on Thursday. Every effort
will be made to make the time as prof-
itable as possible to the farmers of
the State.
One of the features will be the dai-
ry feeders field day on Wednesday,
the 20th, when the dairy cattle pre-
sented to the College by the dairy
| breeders throughout the State will be
placed on exhibition and a formal pre-
sentation made. The display will in-
clude over twenty gift cows and heif-
ers. Farm crops, livestock, dairying,
fruit and vegetable growing, poultry
+ and home economics will be discussed
by able speakers.
A new section will be established for
those who take an interest in subjects
dealing with the conservation of
Pennsylvania wild life and the State
timberlands. Among those who will
discuss these interests are N. R. Bul-
ler, State commissioner of fisheries;
Robert Y. Stuart, State commissioner
of forestry; Seth E. Gordon, secretary
of the State game commission, and
Dean R. L. Watts, of State College.
Programs for these meetings can be
secured at the Centre county farm
bureau.
Were You Thankful Yesterday—
That you have enough to eat, to
wear, and a comfortable bed?
That you live in a land not govern-
ed by Lenines or Trotskys? :
That christianity and education are
open to all who seeketh ?
That Bellefonters can always get all
they want to drink—from the Big
Spring ?
That the deer season opens today
and hunting stories are now in order?
That Pinchot will have eight Repub-
lican women in the Legislature?
That Christmas is less than four
weeks away ?
That you saved your summer’s wag-
es to buy your winter’s coal, and now
can’t get the coal?
That the Bellefonte hospital drive
won't take place until in February?
But what’s the use? Of course you
were thankful in a perfunctory way,
but how many of us are ever really
and truly thankful for all we have—
be it ever so little, and all the bless-
ings we enjoy, chief among which is
good health.
Farmer a Victim of Corn Shredder.
John H. Morrow, a well known far-
mer of Sinking valley, died at the Al-
toona hospital last Friday morning as
the result of injuries sustained on
Thursday afternoon when his arm
was caught in a corn shredder and
badly mangled. Mr. Morrow was
feeding the shredder when his hand
was caught and almost his entire arm
was drawn in before the machine could
be stopped. The only persons there
at the time were his wife and one son
and they worked half an hour before
they were able to release him,
being compelled to take the machine
partially apart. He was rushed to the
Altoona hospital where the son sub-
ritted to a transfusion of a pint of
blood in order to save his father, but
the loss of blood and shock to his sys-
tem was so great that he died on Fri-
day morning. He was fifty-five years
old and leaves a wife, six children,
seven brothers and sisters, as well as
many friends in Spruce Creek valley.
Burial was made at Arch Springs on
Monday afternoon.
