Uncle’s Home After Burning
Letters, Ete.
In these days of frequent disap-
.pearances and kidnapping cases re-
ported from various sections of the
country considerable excitement was
occasioned in Bellefonte on Monday by
the announcement that Miss Julia Ful-
ler, a nineteen year old girl, of Wash-
ington, D. C., had mysteriously disap-
peared from the home of her uncle,
John Clark, in Buffalo Run valley, but
any sensation that may have been cre-
ated on Monday was turned to sym-
pathy when it was learned on Tuesday
that the girl is undoubtedly a victim
of some form of aphasia and her
whereabouts being located she was
taken into custody and held until word
could be received from her father in
Washington.
The young woman in question is a
daughter of E. J. Fuller, a plumber of
Washington. Her mother, who died
three years ago, was Miss Mary Par-
sons, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Parsons, who prior to their
death were residents of Bellefonte.
Her uncle, John Clark, is an adopted
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Elmer Clark,
of Buffalo Run valley. Along about
the first of April Mr. Clark received
a letter from his niece stating that
she was suffering with a nervous
breakdown, and as her physician had
recommended a sojourn in the country
asked whether it would be convenient
for her to come to his home.
Mr. Clark wrote to her to come, and
she arrived at the Clark home on
April 10th. Physically, her health
seemed to be all right but most of the
time she was quiet and uncommuni-
cative, going about apparently in deep
and concentrated thought. She claim-
ed to be a budding authoress and much
of her time was spent in writing. In
fact she stated that she was at work
on a novel which she had named “The
Hermit,” the scenes of which were lo-
cated in Centre county.
On Sunday evening Mr. Clark was
away from home but Miss Fuller ac-
companied other members of the fam-
ily to special Mother’s day exercises
in the church at Paradise. During
the services she claimed she was not
feeling well and telling one of the
family that she was going home left
the church. .
She evidently went direct 5» the
Clark home, bundled together all her
letters and the manuscript of her al-
leged story, and after burning all
ly reunion will this year be held in
Deitrick’s grove at Madisonburg on
Thursday, June 21st. It will be in
the shape of a basket picnic and music
will be furnished by a band not yet
selected. The committee in charge ex-
tends an invitation to everybody to at-
tend.
——@G. Fred Musser took a day off
from his duties as president of the
G. F. Musser Co., and went over onto
Stone creek last Friday evening for a
little trout fishing. There were four
in the party and as evidence of the
of it, discarded her woman’s
‘clothing and putting on a pair of kha-
‘ki trousers which
she had brought
with her from Washington, and her
uncle’s coat and hat took her depar-
ture. Where she spent the night and
Monday morning has not been reveal-
‘ed but along about noontime on Mon-
day she appeared at the Wesley Rider
home near Valley View and asked if
he didn’t want a housekeeper. Being
told that he did not she took her leave.

E. Smith and Rev. Emenhizer drove to

Just seventy-eight people from
Bellefonte and vicinity went to Ty-
rone and Altoona on Sunday on the
Williamsport to Altoona - excursion
train. The train was made up of eight
coaches, six of which were well filled
when the train pulled out of Belle-
fonte, with a number in the other two
coaches.
——On Monday evening Patsy
Bathurst decided he would have a
mess of trout for breakfast on Tues-
day morning. Consequently he walk-
ed down to the old fair grounds and
landed four nice ones, ten and twelve
inches in length. He cleaned the
trout and put them on ice but when
they were cooked on Tuesday morn-
ing they tasted so strongly of machine
oil that he could not eat them, which
is pretty good evidence that Spring
creek is being polluted with oil in
some way.
Miss Ruth Garman has resigned
with Mrs. Iddings will open a tea
house at the latter’s home near Run-
ville. Inasmuch as there will be con-
siderable fixing up to do it will prob-
ably be ten days or two weeks before
the new refreshment stand will be du-
ly launched, but the ladies are plan-
ning to make it a most attractive and
delightful place. The property is lo-
"cated right at the end of the concrete
state highway, hence will be an easy
| drive from Bellefonte to the tea house.
They have already named their place
{the Dim Lantern tea room.

‘most lost sight of the fact that it is
fifty eight years since the close of our
great Civil war, and the further fact
that the men who fought in that
struggle are reduced to a mere cor-
poral’s guard in every community.
i For a half century the surviving vet-
terans have been faithfully holding
{ memorial services over the graves of
[their departed comrades every’ year,
but their number has become so small
that there are not enough left in many
places to answer the roll call on May
30th, and if the loving custom is to
continue the work must be taken up
by younger soldier's organizations.
This fact is emphasized by the follow-
ing letter sent to this office:
The George L. Potter Post, No. 26,
G. A. R., of Milesburg, wishes to in-
form the public that whereas they
have been conducting memorial serv-
ices for the past forty years or more,
they will be compelled to discontinue
the same, with the exception of put-
ting flags on the veterans’ graves in
the six cemeteries heretofore in their
charge, owing to the fact that their
membership is very small and the few
survivors feel that they are not phys-
ically able for the hard day’s work,
which has become more tiresome each
year. Their program in past years
included services at the Advent cem-
etery at 9 a. m.; the Treziyulny cem-
‘etery at 10:30; the Curtin cemetery
'at 1 p. m., and the Milesburg ceme-
tery at 3 p. m.
If there are any veterans of the late
iwars, or any organizations that will
take up this work, the few remaining
members of Post 261 will very gladly
,assist in any way they are able to do.
Memorial services will be held this
year in the Presbyterian church at
Milesburg on Sunday, May 27th, at
{10:45 o'clock, the regular morning
i preaching hour.

‘Many Changes Will be Made in the
Bellefonte Public Schools.

schools next month six teachers will
end their service as educators here.
The announcement will bring regret

are some who have held a most envia-

Last week the “Watchman”

planned to make it an event of some
importance. The bear were hauled to
the Big Kettle in two large crates and
a dozen or more men, including sev-
eral photographers, were in the par-
ty. The she bear was the first to be
released and when her cage was open-
ed she sniffed the atmosphere and
very unconcernedly walked down the
gang plank and trotted off in the un-
derbrush, allowing the photographers
to get several good snaps at her. But
it was different with the he bear.
When his cage was opened he stuck
out his head, took a sniff or two, then
rushed down the gang plank, knocked
over two of the cameras, badly fright-
ened the whole crowd and then took
to the woods after his mate.

—We had a very pleasant and profitable
chat with Mr. W. H. Stover, of Boalsburg,
on Thursday afternoon. He drove down
to do some buying and as the stores were
taking a half holiday and we had quit
pushing a pencil for the week both of us
had time to talk about everything—not
quite everything, for we didn’t touch on
religion or politics. Mr. Stover is a car-
penter and builder, one of the kind they
stopped making years ago. We know he
knows his trade for we have seen his work,
but be that as it may, he thinks all me-
chanics are being paid more than they can
actually return in value. Strange isn’t it,
that a worker should entertain such an
idea in these days when the principle
seems to be to get it while the gettin’s good.
But, as we said before, Mr. Stover is one of
the kind of workers they don’t make any
,more and that’s wily we enjoyed chatting
with him so much.

Quick Work by Our Firemen.
About two o%lock yesterday after-
noon an alarm of fire was sent in from
the yards of the Bellefonte Fuel and
Supply Co., on Race street. It is only
a square from this office yet both the
Logan and Undine pumpers passed us
at the express office corner and by the
time we got to the scene of the con-
flagration they had hose lines laid and
two streams of water on. If that
wasn’t a performance creditable to
volunteer fire organizations we would
like to hear tell of something swifter.
The fire was caused by a short cir-
cuit or spontaneous combustion in
Gordon Montgomery’s Buick coupe. It
was standing in the garage of the
handsome new combination building of
the company and no one in their yards
or offices knew there was a fire until
they were called by the P. R. R.
freight office, across the race, and told
that the roof of the building was
smoking. An investigation revealed
the cause. The car was all in flames
but it was pushed out into the yard
before more damage than a charred
ceiling had been done to the building.
The body of the car was ruined.
