institution has ever reported at one
time.
— The Thimble Bee of the ladies
of the Reformed church will be en-
tertained this (Friday) afternoon, by
Mrs. Nelson E. Robb, at her home on
east Curtin street.
——The Junior prom., the big mid-

o'clock.
Miss Helen A. Gephart, sten-
ographer in the office of the Beatty
Motor company, is recovering very
nicely from an operation for appen-
dicitis, performed at the Bellefonte
hospital last Wednesday.
Much of the snow has already
disappeared and the streams give no
evidence whatever that any of the
water is reaching them. There is so
little frost in the ground that all if
it must be soaking in.
——A union Missionary meeting is
called for Sunday, March 4th, at 3
o'clock, in the lecture room of the
Methodist church in this place. The
purpose is to organize a union of all
women interested in Missionary en-
deavor and if you are, you are urged
to attend.
——The Keystone Power company
offices are now pleasantly located in
their new quarters, the Harter build-
ing, just opposite the court house.
Both officials and employees of the
company are very proud of the new
location: and extend an invitation to
all to call and inspect it.
——Dr.: Eva B.'Roan, the optomet-
rist, who has been meeting with such
success in her practice here and at
State College, has so far recovered
from her recent attack of muscular
rheumatism that she has been dis-
charged from the Bellefonte hospital
and is again fitting “specs.”
——Mrs. John Harnish fell on the
slippery pavement in front of Wil-
lard’s store on" High street, Saturday
evening, fracturing her left shoulder
and left arm above the wrist. She

she is now undergoing treatment.
——Postmaster John L. Knisely
vesterday authorized the statement
that the time limit for putting up
mail boxes or having a slot put in your

Lock Haven; Robert F. Hunter, of
Bellefonte; James P. Aikens, of State

——A very effective and rather nov-
el plan of church lighting is now be-
ing used at the evening service at the
Lutheran church. Five large lights
with reflectors are arranged on a
frame outside the stained glass win-
dow on Allegheny street, and while
the closing hymn of the vesper serv-
ice is being sung the inside lights are
turned off and the exterior lights shin-
ing through the art glass cast a fine,
mellow light through the church room,
and also show the beauty of the large
memorial window. The small candle
lights on the altar also make promi-
nent that part of the interior. The
effect is beautifully impressive.
i
——Plans are being made for a din-
mer and get-together meeting for all
men of the town, to be held in the Y.
M. C. A., Tuesday evening, March
13th, at 7 o’clock, under the direction
of the ministerium. There will be
good eats, fine music, plenty of fun
and fellowship, and then a stirring ad-
dress by Dr. A. B. Van Ormer, of
Huntingdon, on “A Challenge to Man-
ly Men.” Some weeks ago Dr. Van
Ormer addressed the combined Pres-
byterian and Lntheran Brotherhoods
at the Lutheran church, and he made
such a great hit with the men who
heard him that this meeting on March
13th is being arranged so that all men
interested will have the opportunity
of listening to this virile and soul-
gripping message delivered by a man
of great eloquence and striking per-
sonality. Dr. Van Ormer has been on
the lecture and Chautauqua platform
for years and is an orator of great
ability. If you miss the meeting on
March 13th you will miss something
exceptionally fine.

THE WEEK IN QUARTER
SIONS COURT.
Many Cases Continued and Few Tried
SES-
of More Than Trivial Character.
The regular February term of quar-
ter sessions court convened heie Mon-
day morning with Judge Henry C.
Quigley presiding.
The usual preliminaries, such as re-
petitions, etc., occupied attention un-
Mingle was made foreman, presented
a bill for action. That was a case for
damages for injuries sustained by
Mrs. Mary Kupkoe, of Snow Shoe
township, the injury having been in-
flicted by John Pinchok who ran her
down on a public highway by careless
driving of an automobile. It took up
the time of court until Tuesday after-
noon when the second case was called
and it required a night session Tues-
day before the witnesses in it had been
examined.
The grand jury completed its work
Tuesday afternoon and was discharg-
ed. In its report the grand inquest
recommended repairs to the pave-
ments about the court house and jail
and suggested the cutting of another
doorway in the south side of the sher-
iff’s residence.
The cases disposed of up to the time
of our going to press were as follows:
Atlantic Fruit Co. vs. Frank Balis-
tere, action on promise to pay. Con-
tinued.
J. Fred Herman vs. Theodore D.
Boal, an appeal from decision of Jus-
tice of the Peace. Case discontinued
because it should have been brought in
court and not originally before a jus-
tice.
Demi and Goss, of Philipsburg vs.
Frank Balistere and Jesse Balistere.
Appeal from a decision of a Justice of
the Peace. Continued.
J. Irvin Wagner, of Liberty town-
ship, vs. James Leathers, of How-
ard township. An action for cutting
timber on lands of plaintiff. Contin-
ued on account of the death of a broth-
er of the defendant. :
Dr. L. E. Kidder, of State College,
vs. George M. Raines; action on prom-
ise to pay. Continued.
Mary H. Miller, of Spring township,
vs. J. C. Johnstonbaugh, appeal. Con-
tinued on account of illness of the de-
fendant.
Wm. P. Bell Jr., vs. D. R. Wilson,
trespass.. Continued.
W. H. Sortman, Patton township,
vs. Charles O. Walters, Marion town-
ship. Appeal from judgment of Jus-
tice of the Peace in a matter of tres-
pass of cattle on land of plaintiff.
Continued.
William Krouse vs. John Bigler,
both of Rush township. Case arising
out of a tax sale and judgment. Con-
tinued. :
Joe Kupkoe and Mary Kupkoe, of
Snow Shoe township, vs. George Pin-
chok, of same place. Pinchok’s car
driven by his son John struck Mrs.
Kupkoe, on the road between Clarence
and Snow Shoe. Case on trial Monday
and Tuesday and verdict of $120.00
damages rendered for plaintiff on
Tuesday afternoon. It was shown by
the evidence that Pinchok was driving
recklessly and caused Mrs. Kupkoe se-
vere injury.
Commonwealth vs. William and
Elizabeth Clark, charged with con-
verting money and timber to their
own use. The real prosecutor being
John C. Coleman, a lumber operator
of Williamsport. Case continued.
THE SANKEYS CONVICTED.
One of the really interesting cases
of the week was that of the Com-
monwealth vs. William, Guy and Sher-
rill Sankey, charged with assault and
battery and wantonly pointing fire-
arms.
The action grew out of a clash be-
tween members of an Osceola Mills
hunting party and Ralph C. English,
of Port Matilda, and Charles K. Nich-
ols, of Tarentum. It appears that
Nichols is one of a party of men who
have leased the lands of the late
Christ Sharer, in Taylor and Rush
townships. They have been trying to
propagate game there, having planted
many ring-necked pheasants and some
deer at their own expense. Ralph
English, a son-in-law of Sharer, is the
care taker for them. During the hunt-
ing season last fall, on or about De-
cember 9th, the prosecutors met up
with the Osceola party on the Tyrone
pike near the top of the mountain.
The Osceola party had shot a deer and
were carrying it to their camp when
they met English, Nichols and anoth-
er man. An altercation started which
resulted in a fist fight in which Eng-
lish and Nichols were beaten up.
They accused William, Guy and Sher-
ril Sankey of having threatened at the
muzzle of loaded guns after they had
been beaten to the ground. There
were about fifteen in the Osceola par-
ty and they all went on the stand and
swore that it was the prosecutors who
pointed the loaded guns not the San-
keys.
Sherrill Sankey, the youngest of the
three was able to establish an alibi
though corroborated denial that he
was with the hunting party on the day
of the fight. He swore that he had
gone to Osceola the night before and
did not return to camp next morning
until after the others had started on
the day’s hunt.
On Wednesday morning the jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty of assault
and battery as to William and Guy
Sankey. Not guilty of wantonly
pointing loaded guns,, and Sherrill
Sankey not guilty of either.
The court was plainly displeased
with the verdict. He called the de-
fendants to the bar at once and cut-
ting off their attorney, S. D. Gettig, | inforcement Officers Confiscate Car in
Esq., in a plea for leniency, started

| Guy and William Sankey each $500
and sentenced them to nine months in
the county jail, practically expressing
regret that they hadn’t been convict-
ed on the other charges so he could
have given them more.
It wasn’t five minutes afterwards
until they were on their way to jail in
the custody of the sheriff. The dis-
patch and severity of it had a telling
effect on the faces of their hunting
companions who were all seated in a
group in the audience. Up to that
moment they had been viewing the
proceedings rather lightly, but their
expressions as they saw their leaders
disappearing through the rear door
told all too plainly that a lesson had
been learned in a very few moments.
AMATEUR DISTILLER CONVICTED.
The next case called was that of
the Comomnwealth vs. Andrew Letch-
ius charged with illegally manufac-
turing and selling whiskey. This case
was from Philipsburg and was part of
burgess Harry Todd’s efforts to clean
up that town. Letchius had been un-
der suspicion for some time and final-
ly officer Brink, of Philipsburg, mark-
ed two one dollar bills and sent a boy
named Kotchner to buy a quart of
whiskey. On the first visit the boy
said Letchius was out of the stuff but
was told to come back again. The
second time he got it, then Letchius
was arrested and searched and the
marked bills found on his person. The
bills and the quart of hootch were of-
fered in evidence but attorney Spang-
ler, for the defendant, objected to the
“hootch” for the reason that it had
passed through so many hands, and
not being sealed there was no evidence
to show that it might not have been
changed. This was because the dis-
trict attorney wanted to demonstrate
that it was real fire water by burning
it in the presence of the jury. The
court ruled that mere burning would
not be proof that it was whiskey, but
he helped the prosecutor out of the
hole by stating that he intended to
send the quart into the jury room with
the jurors and they could there satis-
fy themselves as to whether it would
burn. Then we noticed lots of fellows
sitting in the audience sighing be-
cause they had not been drawn on that
jury. Letchius was convicted and sen-
tenced to 6 months in jail and to pay
a fine of $500. His attorney immedi-
ately moved for a new trial and pend-
ing argument on the motion the court
suspended sentence and Letchius gave
bond for his appearance in court when
wanted. ; k /
Commonwealth vs. R. E. Patterson
and Sara Laird, alias Sara Flasher.
This was a case arising out of the
finding of two stills on the Fowler
farm in the upper Bald Eagle. State
policeman Joseph Rhine made the in-
vestigation but found no liquor. The
court granted a nolle pros, as the fed-
eral authorities did not care to pro-
ceed further with it.
The other case against above de-
fendants was a charge of larceny and
receiving stolen goods. A gasoline
engine and some bedding constituted
the property in question. H. E.
Washburn was the real prosecutor. In
this case a verdict was found for the
defendants.
Commonwealth vs. Tom Zozada,
charged with illegal manufacture of
whiskey. His house is near Penn 4
mine, near Osceola Mills and officer B.
F. Gill, of Philipsburg, made the seiz-
ure, having taken the still of boiling
mash off the cook stove.

Floyd Smith Refused Commutation.
i
Unless Governor Pinchot again in-
tervenes by granting a respite Floyd
E. Smith, of Bradford county, will go
to the death chair at the western pen-
itentiary next Monday morning for
the murder of the alleged illegitimate
child of his wife, the board of par-
dons having again refused commuta-
tion of the death sentence. Smith’s
case has attracted State-wide atten-
tion, principally through the notoriety
given it by a Philadelphia newspaper
and the additional fact that George
Wharton Pepper, now United States
Senator, had been retained on the
case.
The crime for which Smith was con-
victed was committed in April, 1920,
and his trial did not take place until
the 1921 February court in Brad-
ford county, when he was convicted. ;
He was later sentenced to electrocu- |
tion and the week of October 3rd,
1921, set as the date.
brought to the death house on October
1st, 1921, and since that time has been
granted seven respites and his case
has been before the board of pardons
four times and once or twice before
the Supreme court. As it looks now
the last avenue of escape for Smith
has been closed. He has occupied a
cell in the death house a year and five
months.

Smith was
last Friday to see that order was
maintained at the Academy annual
football dance. It so happened that
M. Crease, members of G. H. Bolling-
er’s enforcement squad at Punxsu-
tawney, came to Bellefonte from Lock
Haven on the hunt of evidence of
bootlegging. Learning that the Acad-
emy dance was to be held that evening
they requested permission to be pres-
ent, which permission was according-
ly granted.
They went to the armory and put
up in the office and it was while there
they noticed frequent excursions of
dancers to one of the cars parked at
the curb. This aroused their suspi-
cions to the point where they made an
investigation and found two bottles
containing gin. One was about emp-
ty, the other partially filled. The offi-
cers then took Arnott Woodson, the
colored chauffeur, into custody and
found out that the car belonged to
Gordon L. Montgomery. It was con-
fiscated and Woodsen taken to jail.
Mr. Montgomery was on the dance
floor at the time and when he learned
of the seizure made protest at once.
The officers were obdurate, however,
and would not release the car. Mont-
gomery then made information
against them and sheriff Dukeman
was routed out of bed to arrest the
federal officers. He found one of them
in bed at the Garman house, state po-
liceman Clark at the Brockerhoif
house but missed the second federal
officer who was in bed at the Bush
house because he had not registered
and it could not be discovered what |
room he was in without rousing the
whole hotel. The other two were tak-
en before Justice Keichline, who had
been gotten out of bed and after he
heard the case, they were released on
their own recognizance.
Woodson was released next morning
pending a hearing before United
States Commissioner J. P. O’Laugh-
lin which was held in Clearfield Tues-
day afternoon. Woodson was there
for the hearing, so was Montgomery.
They were represented by attorney
John G. Love Jr. At the hearing it
was discovered that the seizure had
been made in a district over which
Commissioner Crocker, of Williams-
port, presides so Commissioner O’-
Laughlin merely accepted renewal of
the bond of Woodson for $1000.00 and
directed that he present himself to
Commissioner Crocker, in Williams-
port, today at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Montgomery then offered the
required bond of one and one-half
times the value of the seized car, and
asked for its release. Commissioner
O’Laughlin refused to release it, how-
ever, and it is still under federal seal
in the garage of Routch and Swartzel
in Clearfield. This refusal ‘vas he-
cause the commissioner did not care
to pass on the question, preferring
that it should be decided by the chief
of that division whose office is in
Punxsutawney.
Up to this moment no action has
been brought against Mr. Montgom-
ery personally. The fedearl officers
were of the opinion that they would
await the outcome of the hearing of
Woodson’s case today before proceed-
ing further in the matter. -
It is not generally known, but it is
the fact that officers Rankin and
Crease did not come to Bellefonte to
spy on the Academy dance. With a
number of other plain clothes men
they have been working in Clearfield,
Clinton and Centre counties for sev- |
eral weeks gathering evidence for a
later big clean-up in this section.
Their visit to Bellefonte was purely |
accidental, so far as Friday nights’:
affair was concerned and we have
very good reason to believe they
searched every other car in the vi-
cinity of the armory without finding
any evidence.
State policeman Clark was here on
request of the head-master of the
Academy. He came not to do any-
thing more than suppress conduct
that has been distasteful to many at
a number of dances given here before
and from all reports there may not
have been any need of his services,
for they do say that the conduct was
splendid and the only regrettable in-
cident was the unpleasant injection of
the car seizure sensation into an oth-
erwise delightful party.
——Radio concerts, band concerts
and quartette music will feature the
big auto show to be held in the ar-

show will open at ten o’clock on Wed-

daily until 10:30 o’clock Saturday
night. Whether vou want to buy a
car or not, you will be welcome at
the show. Refreshments will be serv-
ed at the armory. The auto dealers
will do their part and if the public co-
operates next week’s show will be the
biggest ever held in Centre county.

—Miss Nellie Smith, instructor of nurs-
es in the training school of the Columbia

, at the hotel, having gone over to see Mr.
Runkle, who is now recovering from his
| recent serious illness.
—A very great stranger in Bellefonte, on
Tuesday, was William Rodgers, of Pitts-
burgh. He was in town only between
trains as his mission was the sad one of
bringing his dear old mother here for bur-
lial. We hadn't seen him since we were
boys together and regretted much the lack
of time for a longer chat with him. He
is now machinist in charge of the National
Biscuit Co. plant, in Pittsburgh, and is
' doing well, very well indeed.
—Arthur H. Sloop, superintendent of the
schools of Bellefonte, has been in Cleve-
land this week for the annual convention

guest during the past week her sisters,
Mrs. Harter, of Centre Hall, and Mrs. C.
, E. Saunders, of Juniata; Mrs. Christy
' Smith being the fourth sister, Mrs. Bible
and Mrs. Smith both entertained with

ing together the first time in twenty-one
years. Mrs. Harter returned home yester-
day, after a week’s visit in Bellefonte,
while Mrs. Saunders came down for an
over night visit only.
—Miss Sara Woods, of New York, whose
engagement to Gordon Montgomery was
recently announced, was a house guest of
Mrs. Joseph L. Montgomery during her
week-end visit in Bellefonte, and among
the out of town guests here for the Acad-
emy football dance Friday night in the
armory. At Mrs. Montgomery's dinner giv-
en in compliment to Miss Woods the night
of the dance, the dinner guests included
Mr. and Mrs. W. Hassell Montgomery, Mrs.
Betty Orvis Harvey and John G. Love.
—Harry J. Cohen, of Brooklyn, with his
four and a half year old daughter were
Bellefonte visitors the past week, having
come to Bellefonte on Friday on the hunt
of a house-maid for their home in Brook-
lyn. While a few years older than when
he lived in Bellefonte Harry looks little
different from the days in 1916, when, as
Corp. Harry J. Cohen, he wrote those in-
teresting letters for the ‘Watchman’ from
the Mexican border. Of course he looks
the picture of prosperity and is no doubt
as successful as he looks.
—William Wood, of Osceola Mills, was in
town Monday, having come over for the
trial of a case in court in which he be-
came interested while tax collector of
Rush township. Mr. Wood retired from
office at the close of last year after eleven
vears service and when we tell you that he
has already settled all of his duplicates
but that of school you will agree with us
that he must have been a wonderfully ca-
pable official. In a township like Rush,
where there is such a large foreign and
floating population it is not play to gath-
er the taxes. The case he came over on
was postponed so that he tarried here only
until an evening train.

Central Pennsylvania’s most dis-
tinctive musical engagement will oc-
cur at the Mishler theatre, Altoona,
on Friday evening, March 9th in the
a, mearance and recital, in costume of
Mme. Emma Calve, who is today, the
glorious example of perfect voice pro-
duction.
Mme. Calve was a sensation in New
York on her several appearances this
season. And her coming to the Mish-
ler theatre, Altoona, is unquestionably
a musical event extraordinary.
The magic of Calve’s voice is still
as potent as in the days, when, as the
“world’s greatest Carmen,” she reign-
ed supreme at the Metropolitan opera
house in New York. Reservations for
seats can be made by mail or tele-
phone.
——John Leathers, of this place,
had a narrow escape from death
through an accident that happened at
the new hydrating plant of the Amer-
ican Lime and Stone Co., on Monday.
He was cleaning mud from a belt
when his glove caught on it and he
was jerked from his perch and drawn
against the pulley and around it.
While hanging there suspended by the
injured arm he took a knife from his
pocket and cut the belt. Meanwhile
other employees heard his screams
and stopped the machinery. He was
then released and taken to his home
on Beaver street where it was found
he had suffered several mashed fin-
gers, bad cuts on the arm and body
bruises.
