THE STRANGER IN TOWN.
Written for the Philipsburg Journal.
‘Twas a balmy day in September,
When the leaves were turning brown,
That I stood upon the corner
Of a street in my home town,
A gentleman accosted me
And said, “How do you do?
You don’t seem very busy,
Could I get some help from you?”
“You see I am a stranger;
I was never here before,
And if you'll show me ‘round a bit
Your pay it will be sure.
But wait,” he said, “I'd like to ask™—
Then he put a question flat—
“What is your choice in politics,
Republican or Democrat ?”
I answered, “I'm a Republican
Of the brand called G. O. P.
I never voted otherwise,
Just take that tip from me.
My dad he fought for Lincoln
‘When our country was in need
And I'll stick to the Grand Old Party
Until she goes to seed.”
“Why, you are just the man I want,”
He cried, with warm regard.
“I'm running for an office
And I'm working mighty hard,
And if IT am elected :
To the office I aspire
I'll raise the devil at Harrisburg,
For I'm a real live wire.”
“Then let me ask you sir,” I said,
“The place from whence you came;
‘What office are you running for,
And what's your little game?
For I don’t like to go this blind,
Because that ain't my style,
So start broadcasting quickly, sir,
And I'll listen in a while,”
He straigthened with expanded chest,
Then did a graceful stunt.
“Why can’t you see,” he answered,
“That I came from old Bellefonte,
The town that raises Governors
And politicians by the score,
Who grab all the plums upon the trce
And cry for more and more?
;. “The office I am trying for
- Is mine by every rule,
For my grandad and my father
Served in the same old pool,
And I wonld like to hold it
Till my son becomes a man,
Then I would hand it over
To the next heir of our clan.”
When his song and dance was ended
I patted him on the back
And said, “We are all with you,
Not a vote of ours you'll lack,
But, when election day arrives,
‘We'll do like Bellefonte town,
We'll forget the pledges made to you
And then we'll throw you down!”

Brakeman Dies .from Injuries. |
william C. Cox, a Tyrone division
brakeman who was badly hurt while
his train was shifting cars at the Ty-
rone transfer on Tuesday afternoon,
February 20th, died very unexpected-
ly at the Altoona hospital on Tues-
day morning. In the accident Mr.
Cox sustained a badly crushed left
foot and for a week after being taken
to the hospital efforts were made to
save the limb. Complications devel- |
oped, however, which rendered it nec-
esaary to amputate the foot above the
ankle and he was apparently getting
along all right until Monday when he !
developed unlooked for complications |
and his death followed on Tuesday
morning.
Deceased was a son of William and
Sarah Cox and was born at Coleville |
on December 14th, 1878, hence was in |
his forty-fifth year. He lived at Cole- |
ville until eleven years ago when he !
went to Tyrone and secured a job as |
a freight brakeman on the Tyrone di-
vision. He was a member of the First |
English Lutheran church, of Tyrone, !
the Allegheny Gateway Lodge of Odd
Fellows, the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Relief association. He was also '
a member of the Odd Fellows band, of
Tyrone, and of the Lutheran Sunday
school orchestra.
In 1898 he married Mss Susan Ra-
ger, of Bellefonte, who survives with
the following children: Conrad, Gil-
bert, Ralph, Mrs. Alonza Miller, Sa-
rah, Madeline, Florence and Betty.
He also leaves two brothers, Harry, of
Bellefonte, and Boyd, of Seward, Pa.
Burial will be made in the East-
lawn cemetery, Tyrone, this (Friday)
afternoon.
Above it will be noted that Boyd
Cox, of Seward, is recorded as one of
the surviving brothers of William.
Five hours after the latter’s death
Boyd too answered the last call. He
was working as a sub-contractor on
the big electrical plant now building
at Seward, when he was accidentally
killed Tuesday morning.
Deceased was born at Coleville but
left this community a number of years
ago. He was twice married, his first
wife having been a Miss Lyon, of Ly-
ontown. One daughter, Mrs. Wilson,
was born to that union and she with
her child, makes her home with Mr.
Cox’s parents in this place. His sec-
ond marriage was to a young woman
in the western part of the State. We
have been unable to ascertain how
many children survive that union. In-
terment was made at Seward yester-'
day afternoon. :

Hospitality Won a Football Coach.
There is an old saw “that you can
catch more flies with molasses than
| you can with vinegar,” and it is equal-
'ly true that mankind in general are
, more easily attracted by kindness and
: hospitality than in most any other
way. A good dinner, a night’s lodg-
ing and an appetizing breakfast won
for the Bellefonte Academy a football
coach for the next two years, notwith-
standing the fact that several other
schools were clamoring for his serv-
ice. The incident, as related by Ches-
ter L. Smith, in his “Sport Shafts”
column in Monday’s Pitsburgh Times,
was as follows:
Occasionally it is comparatively an
unimportant happening that bears
productive results. At least that is
the philosophy of Jimmy Hughes,
headmaster of Bellefonte Academy,
and the idol of scores of boys and men
who were once boys and attended that
picturesque little school high up in
i the mountains near State College. For,
if it hadn’t been that he played the part
lof host to Carl Snavely, assistant
coach at Kiski, and had it not been
! that Snavely went to Bellefonte one
day .ast fall to scout the Academy
eleven, it is highly improbable that the
Kiski- man would be holding a two-
year contract to coach there, and it is
also very likely that Jimmy Hughes
| would still be combing the country for
a mentor.
On the day that Bellefonte met the
Pitt Freshmen, Snavely and Bill
Amos, the latter Kiski’s crack full-
back, went to look over the Panther
Cubs. Hughes, learning that Snavely
was going on to State College the
next day to see the Carnegie Tech-
State game, invited him to remain
over night at his home. Be it known
that the headmaster at that time was
on a still hunt for a coach.
Mutual friendship sprang up be-
tween the young coach, just breaking
into the game, and the veteran in-
structor who has never lost his love
for athletics. Snavely was frankly in-
terested in Bellefonte. “I have never
seen such strapping big fellows and
such spirit,” he told Hughes.
The evening spent together led
eventually to correspondence and to
later meetings. Hughes set his heart
on getting the former Lebanon Val-
ley College star, but it was not the
easiest thing in the world for Case
School, of Cleveland, Waynesburg and
even Carnegie Tech were looking fa-
vorably toward him. But Snavely
i finally came to terms and is now Belle-
fonte’s all-sports coach.
The Academy is to be congratulated
i on securing a young fellow of Snave-
|1y’s high character. Furthermore, he
‘ combines with his gentlemanly quali-
| ties far more than ordinary coaching
| ability. He is recommended highly
{ by none other than Glenn Warner,
; while Jim Marks, under whose direc-
' tion he has been working at Kiski,
i cannot praise him too much. It is
| quite evident that Jimmy Hughes

ly neither fire developed into a serious
conflagration, principally because the
flames were extinguished before they
zot a good start.
The first fire was at Coleville where
a bed caught fire in some unknown
fore it was extinguished the fire burn-
ed a hole through the ceiling into the
attic but a bucket brigade had over-
come the flames by the time the fire-
men reached the Billett home.
Shortly after nine o’clock in the
evening the truck of Harry Winton, in
the Elks barn, was discovered to be on
fire and the firemen were again called
out. By the time they arrived upon
the scene not only the truck but the
car of William Manning close by were
enveloped in flames and for a time it
looked as if the barn might go. But
a direct application of chemical solu-
tion from the pumpers put out the
conflagration before the barn caught
fire. Mr. Winton’s truck and Mr.
Manning’s car are both practically
ruined.
The only solution of the fire is that
it started from a loose connection and
consequent short circuit onthe stor-
| age battery of the truck, as there was
no fire of any kind around the barn at
the time.

Ziegfeld Chorus Girl's Marriage to
Jack Montgomery Annulled.
From the Baltimore American of Friday,
March 16th. i
Peggy U’Dell and the Elkton mar-
riage mill fared badly yesterday at
the hands of the Maryland Court of
Appeals, which ordered that the “pre-
tended marriage” of the Ziegfeld cho-
rus girl and John W. Montgomery,
minor son of a wealthy New York
family, be annulled.
The decision reversed the finding
of Judge Lewin Wickes of the Cir-
cuit court for Cecil county, before
i whom Montgomery’s suit for divorce
was tried early last summer and who
ruled that the marriage was valid, or-
dering Montgomery to pay $50 a
month alimony, counsel fees and court
costs.
Young Montgomery, who had only
recently left Tome Institute at the
time of the elopement from Philadel-
phia to Elkton in January, 1922, is
now at work in an Idaho lumber camp.
He is said to have remitted alimony
from his wages to his chorus-giri
bride, otherwise trying hard to forget
the escapade. Miss U’Dell, who is the
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John F.
U’Nertle, of Milwaukee, and adopted
U’Dell as her stage name, left the
stage for a time at the close of last
| season’s engagement and since has
i lived in Philadelphia.
Marriage of the girl, who was not
. quite 17 years old and had been on
| the stage from early childhood, and
the scion of a wealthy family at the
i Maryland Gretna Green created a
: sensation. The young people had met
only once before the night of the
elopement, so far as the testimony
showed undisputedly, and that was
less than two weeks prior to the wed-
ding.
i On the night of January 25 Mont-
i gomery and two of his former schoof
| chums met in Philadelphia and agreed
‘to go on a “party” which one of the
| Philadelphians had arranged. They
j were to take three girls from the
i Ziegfeld “Frolics” chorus, then play-
| ing an engagement in the city. While
| waiting for the show to close the
| young men absorbed a considerable
amount of liquor. After the show,
while they visited several roof gardens:
and other resorts, more liquor was
| consumed. Somebody proposed a wed--
ding—who made the suggestion is a
matter of widely diverted testiomny—-
and having run foul of several Phila--
delphia policemen in a search for a
license and a minister, the party en-
gaged a taxicab and started for Elk-
on.
Attracting attention at way-points
all along the road, particularly at
Darby and Wilmington, where stops:
| were made, the patry arrived at Elk-
| ton before dawn. With some difficulty
i they found a deputy clerk, who agreed
. to open the clerk’s office in the court
house and issue a license. :Montgom-
ery had to ask Peggy her name. Both
"assured the clerk, so that official after-
ward stated, that the boy was over
21 and the girl over 18. Then a chauf--
| feur, who was part of the Elkton
| “marriage industry,” steered the party
at 6 o'clock in the morning to the
home of the Rev. Daniel Forbes Lock-
erbie, described as an “independent”
minister, who had"set up competition:
. with the Rev. Mr. McElmoyle for the:
fees of eloping couples. Mr. Locker-
| bie was aroused, the party admitted to
i his parlor and the ceremony per-
| formed.
|" Returning to Philadelphia Mont-
gomery fell asleep and when he
awoke was chaffed by his compan-
|ions—two chorus girls besides the
(bride and one young man—about
1being a married man. He denied
|that he was married. The party

testimony was corroborated by that
of his boy friends, the taxi driver, a
{ Wilmington physician who saw the
' party in a restaurant, and a dozen
i other disinterested witnesses. Peggy

‘enough to get married, her cause be-
ing supported by her chorus girl
friends, the deputy clerk, the Elkton
taxi driver and the independent min-

NEVER LIVED WITH BRIDE.
Montgomery declared, without con-

Miss U’Dell and had seen her only

“wild adventure,” but held that the
marriage was valid. Subsequently he
entered an order for alimony pen-
dente lite. Montgomery got his job
in the Northwestern woods to earn
the money while Mr. Straus prepared
an appeal. The case came before the
Court of Appeals at the present term
and was among the first to be argued
and decided.
