Native Belefonter Found Dead in
: Philadelphia.
Herbert W. Butts, a native of
Bellefonte, was found dead in his room
in a building on Vine street, Philadel-
phia, and the supposition is that he
was a victim of asphyxiation as a leak-
ing gas pipe was found in the room.
Mr. Butts was a saddler by occupa-
tion and worked in the harnessmaking
establishment of K. A. Rosenfeld,
which was on the first floor of the
building. A son of Mr. Rosenfeld oc-
cupied a room on the second floor and
directly over him was Butts’ room.
The elder Rosenfeld attended a wed-
ding reception on Thursday and re-
turning home went to his son’s room.
The room was filled with gas and the
young man was lying across the bed
unconscious. The boy was taken out
of the building and, accompanied by a
patrolman, the elder Rosenfeld went
to Butts’ room. He broke open the
locked door and found Butts lying on
the bed, dead. The key of the gas
bracket was partially turned but it is
the general belief that it was acci-
dentally left in that condition.
Mr. Butts was a son of Jeremiah
and May G. Butts and was born in
Bellefonte sixty-two years ago. As a
young man he learned the saddlery
trade, an ocupation he followed all his
life. For many years he worked for
Edward Powers, at Bryn Mawr, but
of late years he had been working in
Philadelphia. He never married but
is survived by one brother and three
sisters, namely: Walter G., Misses
Mary A. and Henrietta Butts, of Phil-
adelphia, and Mrs. Robert F. Hunter,
of Bellefonte.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on the 9:17 train Saturday
morning, accompanied by the two sis-
ters of deceased, and taken direct to
the Union cemetery for burial, Rev.
David R. Evans officiating.
Charles Taylor Sent to Glen Mills
School.
Charles Taylor, the fourteen year
old youth who accidentally shot and
killed Irvin G. Meiss, son of Mr. and
Mrs. George R. Meiss, of Colyer, at
noon on November 29th, was given a
hearing in juvenile court in Bellefonte
on Friday, December 22nd. Several
witnesses were heard but as none of
the witnesses saw the accident, noth-
ing new was developed. The boy,
himself, claimed the gun was acciden-
tally discharged but was unable to tell
just how it did occur.
Facts were brought out, however, in
connection with the boy’s life that in-
fluenced the court in sending him to
the Glen Mills school, where he will
have an opportunity of learning some
useful trade or occupations He per-
mitted the lad to return home for
Christmas but on Wednesday of last
week he came to Bellefonte, dressed in
2 new suit of clothes, and on Thursday
sheriff Harry Dukeman took him to
Glen Mills.
Johnston Brothers Strong on Basket
Ball.
Hugh and Philip Johnston, well
known graduate athletes of the local
High school, are again reaping honor
from their efforts at the forward po-
sitions on the Dickinson College bas-
ket ball squad. Both young men
played a remarkable game at these
positions all last season.
The Johnston brothers, neither
weighing more than 135 pounds, have
developed exceptionally speedy floor-
work and such accuracy in collecting
the double counters as completely to
overcome their handicap in size and
weight. They are an imposing pair of
forwards, whose team work would be
an asset to almost any college quin-
tet. They are equally dependable on
the offense or defense, or in the scor-
ing.
Local followers.of the cage sport
will have an opportunity to see the
Johnston brothers in action on Febru-
ary 9th, when Dickinson meets Penn
State at State College.

and enjoyed by all who attended.

Dawson, widow of William Dawson,
passed away at her home on south
Spring street at 12:30 o’clock on
Christmas day, as the result of cere- |
bral hemorrhages. She had been a;
sufferer for a period of seventeen
years but her condition did not be-
come serious until about two months
ago.
She was a daughter of James and
Hannah Waddle Hamilton and was
born in Spring township on March
17th, 1848, hence was 74 years, 9
months and 8 days old. Her entire
life was spent in this vicinity and up
until overtaken by illness she was
quite active in helping those less for-
tunately situated than herself. She
was a lifelong member of the Meth-
odist church and her many acts of
christian charity endeared her to a
wile circle of friends.
As a young woman she married
William Dawson who died seventeen
years ago, but surviving her are three
children, James Dawson, of DuBois;
Mrs. T. Clayton Brown, of Bellefonte,
and Mrs. Thomas Moore, of Philadel-

ing for more than two years and of
late had been quite ill. For some
months past the family has been liv-
ing at Greer, W. Va. and Ted,
as he was familiarly called, insisted on
coming to Bellefonte for Christmas.
They came here the Saturday before
Christmas and while he apparently
stood the trip reasonably well the ex-
citement of meeting so many of his
old friends was too great and he suf-
fered a collapse on Sunday evening.
From that time he sank gradually un-
til the end.
He was a son of David J. and Jean
Shugert Kelly and was born in Belle-
fonte on November 28th, 1900, hence
was 22 years and 28 days old. The

The Library committee of the Aux-

the vacation on the sorting and cata-

which will comprise the start of a cir-
culating library for the town. The
library will be in the community room
of the Y, and will be taken charge of
by a committee of workers from the
Auxiliary. The boys division library
which has been open for three months
will still be conducted from the main
office. Donation of more books is
needed to make the collection varied
for all readers and those having fic-
tion books in good order may leave
them at the Y. or ask to have them
called for. The committee expects to
have the work completed about the
middle of the month. Announcement
will be made as to arrangements next

“The thing that goes the farthest
twards making life worth while, that
costs the least and does the most, is
just a pleasant smile.
“It’s full of worth and goodness too,
with hearty kindness bent, it’s worth
a million dollars and doesn’t cost a
cent.”
Proper fitting glasses will remove
the frown and make it easy to smile.
