LAW VIOLATORS SENTENCED.
Two Men Draw Penitentiary Terms
for Forgery.
Late last Saturday afternoon Ed-
i ward Markley, while under the influ- |
ence of liquor, mace his way to the |
‘handsomely furnished library in the |
court house and proceeded to create |
havoc among the costly mahogany |
i furniture. Tables and chairs were!
upturned, 2 ieg being broken off of |
one chair, several panes of glass were |
broken in the library cabinets, a big
dent was knocked into the large ma-
hogany table, and books, pamphlets,
etc., were scattered all about the
room,
Fireman Kane had just returned
from supper and hearing the disturb-
ance in the library went up to inves-
tigate. He found Markley standing
just inside the door, all the lights on
and the interior of the room looking as
if it had been swept by a tornado.
Kane immediately telephoned for the
sheriff who went to the court house
and escorted Markley to jail. When
questioned later he denied all knowl-
edge of what he had done. He re-
membered having gone into the lower
part of the court house and of taking
a drink or two, but farther than that
he disclaimed any knowledge. He did
not tell where he got the liquor but
from the looks of the library it must
have been powerful stuff.
At a special session of court on Wed-
nesday merning Judge Quigley had
no hesitation in telling Mr. Markley
of the gravity of his offense, even
though it were no graver than mali-
cious mischief, and admitted that he
was constrained to be as lenient as
possible because of his wife and chil-
dren. He then sentenced Markley to
pay a fine of $100, costs of prosecution
and imprisonment in the county jail
for 2 period of six months; but furth-
er stated that he would not have to go
to jail if he did what was right, as he
would place him on parole and give
him the six months in which to pay
the fine and costs, but if at any time
he took a drink or in any other way
misbehaved he would be taken to jail
and be compelled to serve out his sen-
tence. Markley, naturally, promised
to be good in the future.
The next case called was that of
Peter A. Hitt, of Philipsburg, charged
with the forging of the names of his
wife and father-in-law, William Pel-
ton, to a note which he had discount-
ed at, the Moshannon National bank.
Hitt was a policeman in Philipsburg
several years ago and later chief of
police of Clearfield. He plead guilty
to the charge and was sentenced to:
pay o fine of on= dollar, costs of pros-
ecution and undergo imprisonment in
the western penitentiary for not less
than one year nor move than twe.
~The final ease was against Thomas
Wolford, of Bellefonte, the young man
who was successful in passing a num-
ber of forged checks on Bellefonte
merchants the latter part of Novemn-
He returned voluntarily on
Wednesday of last week and surren-
dered to the authorities. In his be-
half J. Kennedy Johnston Esq., made
a plea for leniency, stating that if the
court could see its way clear to plac-
ing the young man on parole under a
suspended sentence that his father!
would endeavor to make restitution of
State President of Mothers®'Congress
all money secured on the forged
checks, pay the costs, etc. When ques- !
tioned by the court young Wolford
stated that he was twenty-eight years !
old and had lived in Bellefonte about |
four years, coming here with his par- |
ents from the vicinity of State Col-
lege. He stated that he was an elec-
trician and had been engaged in con-
tract work before he got into trouble.
When asked by the court how much
money he had received on forged
checks he stated in the neighborhood
of $1,200, and that almost the entire
sum had been spent in gambling.
Before pronouncing sentence the
court stated that notwithstanding the
fecling of sympathy he had for the
young mian’s family he was not dis-
posed to show leniency to men wha
took such illegal methods to get mon-
ey to gratify their whims; and that it
was his intention to protect banks and
business places against such individu-
als. He then sentenced Wolford to
pay a fine of one dollar, costs of pros-
ecution and undergo imprisonment in
the western penitentiary for not less
than two years nor more than three.
More Ticket Sellers Wanted.
The ticket selling contest started
last Saturday by the management of
the big auto show to be held under the
auspices of the Centre County Auto-
mobile Dealers’ association, is pro-
gressing satisfactorily, but to make it
more interesting more girls from all
sections of the counly should enter
the race. All that is necessary is to
write to W. C. Rowe, show manager,
Bellefonte, signifying your desire to
compete for the big cash prizes and
tickets and instructions will be for-
warded at once.
Forty-four cars, representing twen-
ty-three of the standard manufacto-
ries, have already been entered for the
big show, which will be held in the ar-
mory March 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th.
Other entries will likely bring the
number up to fifty cars, at least.
—— Large. audiences were present
in the opera house last Wednesday
and Thursday evenings to witness the

ceipts for the two performances to-
talled about three hundred dollars.

— Miss Catherine Hoy, one of the
operators in the Commercial telephone
exchange, was taken quite ill while at
work last Friday and had to be taken

almost completely recovered.
— If you want to enjoy a good
chicken and waffle supper, go to the
I. O. O. F. hall in Lemont on Wednes-
day evening, February 21st, between
the hours of five and eight. The fact
that it will be given by the young la-
dies of the Presbyterian church is as-
surance that it will be worth eating.
——Guerney Rossman, the nineteen
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. McClel-
lan Rossman, of Stover’s Station, near
Tyrone, was seriously injured on Mon-
day morning when a milk truck he
was driving was struck by a trolley
car at Orchard crossing, near Tyrone.
The young man was taken to the Al-
toona hospital where it was feared
he had sustained a slight fracture of
the skull as well as an injured back
and body lacerations and bruises. The
Rossman family formerly lived near
Pine Grove Mills and Centre county
friends of the young man hope he may
speedily recover. ;
Mountain Memorial to Byron Foust
Krumrine.
The Pennsylvania Alpine club is
planning the erection and maintenance
of a log cabin on Penn’s creek, in the
vicinity of Paddy mountain, as a me-.
morial to Byron Foust Krumrine, the
young newspaper man of Altoona,
who lost his life by drowning in that
locality less than a year ago. The hut
will be located on State land and will
be maintained at the expense of the
Alpine club, the members of which are
already planning to hold their next
annual meeting there.
——The Bellefonte Academy basket
ball team played four games on its
week-end trip away from home and
while they were victorious in only one
instance they have no cause to mourn
their defeats, as in each case they
practically played the team to a stand-
still. One of the teams which con-
quered the Academy five was the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh Freshmen, who
will be in Bellefonte for a return
game this (Friday) evening. The con-
test will take place at 8:30 o’clock on
the armory floor and basket ball fans
should be out in force as the Acade-
my quintette will endeavor to get
even. Tomorrow (Saturday) evening,
at eight o’clock, the Academy will |
play the Westmont High, of Johns-
town, This will also be a game worth
seeing.
‘to Speak.
Mrs. Alice F. Kiernan was unable
to be present at the regular Parent
T'eacher’s meeting on Monday evening, /
put will be in Bellefonte on Tuesday,
February 20th, at which time she will
give an address to parents, in the
community room of the Y. M. C. A,,
on the subject, “The Teen Age.” Her
position in connection with the Moth-
ers’ Congress and Parent Teacher’s
association enables her to speak with
authority on this subject, and it is
hoped that many parents will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to discuss
their problems of the teen age of their
boys and girls at this time. All in-
terested with work among young peo-
ple in home, school or church life are
invited to attend.
Academy Football Dance.
The Academy mid-winter footbail
dance will take place in the armory
on Friday evening, February 23rd,
from nine to one o’clock. The music
will be furnished by Harmon’s superb
orchestra, from Williamsport. While
the football dance has always been a
great success in past years, the prep-
arationg for this dance exceed those
of any previous year, and guarantee
that it will be the most attractive and
successful dance ¢ er given by the
Academy and that is saying a great
deal. Be sure, all ye lovers of the
dance to the accompaniment of en-
trancing music, to make no other en-
gagements for February 23rd. This
is a fixed number in the social pro-
gram of Bellefonte and deserves the
generous patronage of all society folk.
A large number of the leading la-
dies of the town have agreed to act as |
patronesses. Tickets can be purchased
at Montgomery's clothing store, or at
Mott’s drug store. :
Lincoln Day Observed by P. T. A.
The meeting of the Parent Teacher’s
port of the Tuberculosis Christmas
Seal Sale in Bellefonte District.
Re
The tuberculosis committee of tae
Bellefonte Woman’s club has charge
of the Christmas Seal sale in Belle-
fonte and the townships of Benner,
Boggs, Burnside, Curtin, Halfmoon,
Howard, Huston, Liberty, Marion,
Patton, Snow Shoe, Spring, Taylor,
Union, Walker, Worth. Since the
money is secured from the public, the
committee feels a report of the sale

It was hoped that enough money
would be realized from the Seal sale
to have the dental hygienist continue
her work in the schools but it will be
‘impossible. The ‘health education
work in the schools including the
health clown, literature’ and movies
will also, necessarily, be discontinued.
In 1919 the sale amounted to $200.-
35; 1920, to.$389:06; in 1921, to $287.-
37; in 1922, to $286.30. As there are
no paid workers on the tuberculosis
committee, this entire amount of
$1168.08 plus the deficit of $154.28 or
$1322.36 has been spent in education-
al health features in the schools of
Bellefonte, a comparatively small
amount going to outside districts. It
is four years this month since the
Womans club offered to introduce this
work into the schools and feels grati-
fied to know it was a pioneer, as many
of the features are only now being in-
troduced into schools elsewhere. It is
te be regretted, however, that a heart-
ier co-operation, financially, from oth-
er organizations or individuals has
not enabled the committee to put on
2 permanent basis some of the very
excellent work started. Through the
efforts of the chairman, a State tuber-
culosis clinic has been opened here, the
committee making itself responsible
for one hundred dollars for rent of
room. The problem of providing ade-
quate care for advanced cases of tu-
berculosis will occupy the attention of
the committee the coming year.
Interesting Deer Killing Case.
While out after foxes on December
20th two well known hunters of Snow
Shoe came across a badly injured deer.
It was unable to move and bleating
from pain and suffering and realizing
that the animal would die, shot it to
end its misery. The men then tried
to get into communication with the
state police to report the incident but
before they could do so other parties
who knew of the killing of the deer
had made a report. The matter was
brought to the attention of game pro-
tector Thomas Mosier, of Bellefonte,
and he had the hunters arrested for
killing a deer out of season.
They were given a hearing before
Squire S. Kline Woodring, in Belle-
fonte, last Saturday evening and the
evidence brought out substantiated the
account of the killing as told above.
The hunters did not profit in any way,
as the deer was dressed and the veni-
son distributed among the deserving
poor of Snow Shoe and vicinity. The
law requires that when an injured or
crippled deer is found the fact must
be reported to a state officer who will
designate what to do with it. It is this
association, held on Monday evening
in the High school auditorium, had a!
distinctive Lincoln aspect and was en- |
joyed by the too small audience for |
such a program. Rev. Wilson P. Ard |

coln and referred to the much-admired
statue of Lincoln in Cincinnati

Dr. George P. Bible gave
an address on the “Relation of Parents
to the Schools.” He gave many sug-
gestions which were helpful in stimu-
lating co-operation between the teach-
ers and the parents in the education
of the children. Mrs. Gregg Curtin,
the first vice president, presided. The
association voted to contribute $50.00
of their funds toward the elimination
of the amount due for the services of
the nurse in the dental clinic conduct-
ed last fall in the schools.

——Good newspaper men are born,
not made, and that is probably the rea-
son why editor Karl Reed Bierly, of
the Brookville Republican, rejoiceth
over the arrival of another son in his
little family on Tuesday morning,
February 6th. Editor Bierly is a son
of Willis R. Bierly and was born at
Rebersburg, Centre county. The
“Watchman” editor made his acquain-
tance when he was called for service
after the United States entered the
world war. He came to Bellefonte to
take the examination and brought
with him his violin and we have no
doubt took it along to camp with him.
After the war was over he located in
DuBois, but finally went to Brookville
and became editor and manager of the
Republican. He married a Brookville
girl and now has two sons, thus keep-
ing up the tradition of the average
country newspaper man.

tawney coal but as soon as possible
