NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——The ladies of the Reformed
church spent Thursday afternoon of
this week at the nurse’s home, sew-
ing for the hospital.
No very serious auto accidents
were reported in Centre county on
Sunday, notwithstanding the fact that
all roads were congested with travel.
Spring Mills Lodge I. O. O. F.
is considering the proposition of or-
ganizing a band within its ranks, that
is, if the preliminary expense is not
deemed prohibitive. «
The summer session for teach-
ers will open at State College on Mon-
day, with optional courses of six,
eight or ten weeks. An attendance of
two thousand is expected by Dean
Chambers, who has charge of the sum-
mer school.
Motorists and others who trav-
el the Black Moshannon road between
Philipsburg and Snow Shoe are con-
templating petitioning the county
commissioners to have the road im-
proved. While the road is used ex-
tensively it has been greatly neglect-
ed the past few years and is badly in
need of repairs.
——Joseph Shaughnessy, who fell
on the pavement in Tyrone five weeks
ago and broke his knee cap, is still
confined to the Bellefonte hospital,
where he is undergoing treatment. He
is unable to bear any weight upon the
injured leg and his physiciaan has de-
cided to put the knee in a cast which
will probably enable him to get around
with the use of crutches.
Any man in Centre county who
is in need of summer clothing should
consult the advertisement of the Fau-
ble store on the seventh page of to-
day’s paper. Some of the biggest
bargains ever offered in any Belle-
fonte store will be found therein. As
this sale will last but ten days you
will have to act quickly if you want
to get the advantage of the big re-
duction in prices.
Members of the old Troop L,
who served in France during the
world war, will be interested in the
announcement that one of their num-
ber, Frank W. Cadwallader, of Phil-
ipsburg, was married at Selinsgrove
last week to Miss Katherine Keiser, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Keiser.
Mr, Cadwallader is a cousin of A.
Clyde Smith, of Bellefonte, and he and
his bride will live in Philipsburg.
-——Scenic. patrons will find a two
weeks ahead program published in the
“Watchman” this week, and every pic-
ture will be worth seeing. In fact
‘each and every one should appeal to
fall lovers of the screen and the only
way to be sure of seeing all the good
ones is to be a regular. After tomor-
row night the opera house will be
closed for several weeks while the in-
terior is being repaired and painted.
Postmaster Brumbaugh, of Al-
toona, has received permission from
the Postoffice Department to send all
airplane mail to Bellefonte for trans-
portation west instead of to Cleve-
land, Ohio, as other towns and cities
in the State have been requested to
do. Hence letters mailed in Altoona
up to six o’clock or a little later in the
morning can be sent to Bellefonte
on the morning train and reach here
in time to be put on the mailplane
west at 12:20.
Mrs. Susan Spangler, of Centre
Hall, who had quite a sick spell early
last week, is reported as resting com-
fortably the past few days and her
condition is not regarded as being un-
duly serious. Mrs. Spangler, who is
the mother of Col. J. L. Spangler, of
Bellefonte, will be ninety-six years
old on August 2nd, if she is spared
until that time, and is probably the
oldest person in Centre county. Up
until her sick spell last week she had
enjoyed remarkably good health for
one of her advanced age.
—Just twenty-four more days of
legal trout fishing remain until the
close of the 1924 season, and the man
who has not yet caught his share had
better get busy. Of course few fish-
ermen have hogged the limit this
year, as weather conditions have been
unusually favorable for the trout ever
since the opening day on April 15th.
While the trout season is nearing its
end the bass season opened on Tues-
day. The only stream in Centre coun-
ty where this species of fish is found
is in lower Bald Eagle creek, but they
are plentiful enough there to afford
good sport to bass fishermen. Some
of the streams in nearby counties are
‘well stocked with bass and a number
of Bellefonters make annual pilgrim-
‘ages to their favorite retreats.
rele
Metal signs pointing the direc-
tion and giving the distance to sur-
rounding towns were erected in Belle-
fonte during the past week by the
State Highway Department, and will
be erected at all important junctions
and cross sections of state highway in
the éoiinty. While not an innovation
by any means it is something that
will prove of inestimable value to the
traveling public. Every day dozens
of autoists passing through Bellefonte
have been compelled to stop and in-
quire how to get out of town, and now,
when they become acquainted with
the fact that signs have been put up
they will experience little difficulty in
locating the right street. One sign
in the Diamond points the way to Ty-
rone and Altoona, and Lock Haven
and State College, while one on Bish-
op street points the way to Lock Ha-
ven and Lewistown. Out at the High
school building another sign has been
erected and also one at Spring and
Linn streets. ;
Fast Air Mail Inaugurated
Tuesday.
on
Some five years or more ago post-
master Paul Brosius, of Lock Haven,
sent invitations broadcast over cen-
come to that town and witness the
maiden voyage of the pathfinder areo-
plane, which would fly westward seek-
ing suitable landing places for post-
office aviation fields, as the govern-
ment was about to establish an air-
mail route between New York and
Chicago, and he had beaten everybody
to it by having Lock Haven selected
as the site for the landing field in this
section. The writer was among the
crowd that journeyed to Lock Haven
to see the “flying machine” come in,
but we failed to see it. The ship was
so late in reaching that place that we
were probably home before it arrived
there.
The aviator, the late lamented Max
Miller, looked the Lock Haven field
over and promised to report on its
availability later. On his next trip,
several weeks later, he landed in Belle-
fonte, and he was so much more fa-
vorably impressed with the facilities
offered here that this town was rec-
ommended instead of Lock Haven.
But the above is only a prelude to
the fact that on Tuesday, when the
first fast airmail plane reached Belle-
fonte among the crowd at the avia-
tion field to witness its arrival and de-
parture were more Lock Haven peo-
ple than there were residents of Belle-
fonte, all having motored up to wit-
ness a sight which has become such
an everyday occurrence here that the
hum of the airplane motor creates no
excitement whatever.
Apropos of the inauguration of the
thirty-four hour mail between New
York and San Francisco, W. L. Smith,
one of the veteran fliers, drove the
first plane from New York to Chica-
go. It carried 450 pounds of mail and
reached the Bellefonte field almost on
the minute of its scheduled time, 12:20
p. m. The plane was replenished with
oil and gas and was off again in less
than ten minutes. Through mail only
was carried on this ship. A second
ship followed within fifteen minutes
carrying what is deemed the local
pouches. One hundred or more let-
ters were taken on from the field post-
office. Those were placed in packages
for Cleveland, Chicago and contigu-
ous points, and in a few minutes the
plane was on its way west. The first
plane east did not pass through Belle-
fonte until Wednesday, but it carried
San Francisco mail which left there
on Tuesday morning.
Two Young Men with Stolen Car
Arrested in Bellefonte.
On Sunday evening sheriff E. R.
Taylor received a telephone message
from Centre Hall to be on the lookout
for a big Jordan car with Connecticut
license tags and carrying two young
men. The car had been stolen at
Meriden, Connecticut, by the young
men who were on their way west.
Meriden authorities had traced them
to Lewistown but the officers there got
the word after the young men had left
that place on their way across the
Seven Mountains. Lewistown officers
telephoned to Centre Hall but too late
to catch the men there. They had
just left for Bellefonte after trading
a spare rim for gasoline.
As soon as sheriff Taylor got the
message he jumped into his car and ac-
companied by chief of police Harry
Dukeman drove down to Milesburg
and back and out the state highway
towards Axe Mann, and also down
past the aviation field without getting
any trace of the car, but when he re-
turned to Bellefonte he found it
parked in front of the Bon Mot, next
to the “Watchman” office. The young
men were nearby and they were
promptly taken into custody and es-
corted to the Centre county jail. They
gave their names as Clifford Luding-
ton, aged 20 years, and Clyde Murray,
aged 19, and told the sheriff that not-
withstanding the fact that they had
driven right through cities and towns
lice until they reached Bellefonte. But
this would lHkely have been the end
of their journey, if they hadn’t been
picked up so soon after reaching here,
as they were out of gas and had only
a dime between them. They admitted
having stolen the car and Meriden of-
ficers were notified of their capture.
The Fifth Annual Business Men’s
Picnic.
The Associated Business Men of
Bellefonte will hold their big free bas-
ket picnic at Hecla park on Thursday,
August 14th, all day and evening. It
will be the fifth annual gathering and
the committee in charge is working to
make it different from any former pic-
nic and much larger in every particu-
lar. One of the main features will be
an auto show and an auto obstacle race
in which Ford cars will be made to
talk nutty and climb trees. Joking
aside, the race will be one of the big-
gest freak features ever seen, and will
be worth coming many miles to see.
Other features will be boxing bouts
for prizes, wrestling contests, a pov-
erty parade, morning and afternoon
ball games between two teams of the
Centre county league and as a novelty
daylight fireworks. Also boating and
swimming and all sorts of conces-
sions. Free band concerts will be giv-
en at stated intervals throughout the
day and an excellent orchestra will
furnish music for dancing in the pa-
vilion from morning until late at
night. Eating stands on the grounds
will furnish meals to all those who do
not wish to take baskets with them.
Remember the date, August 14th,
and make your plans to spend the day
at the park. :

: No Paper Next Week.
The “Watchman” force will take a
' vacation next week consequently no
paper will be issued. The next num-
ber of the “Watchman” will appear
on July 18th. We trust all our read-
ers will have a glorious time today
celebrating the Fourth in a purely
American patriotic manner, even
though it be “safe and sane.”
——Farm agent Ralph C. Blaney
and bride have returned to Bellefonte
from their honeymoon trip and are
living with Mrs. C. D. Tanner, in Pet-
rikin hall. Mr. Blaney was married
to Miss Dorothy E. Ostermayer, at
Haddonfield, N. J., on June 15th and
before coming to Bellefonte spent
some time at the seashore resorts.
Their marriage was the culmination
of a romance begun while both were
students at The Pennsylvania State
College.
——Our good brethren of the Unit-
ed Evangelical church are making
slow progress on the work of build-
ing the much needed addition to their
church. The building committee ran
up against a big proposition in dig-
ging out the hill in the rear of the
church, as most of the excavation
was through an unusually solid vein
of limestone rock. They have now
reached that point where they have
begun work upon the walls for the
extension and their efforts will soon
begin to show more marked progress.
——A youthful elopement this week
was that of Miss Anne Taylor, fifteen
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Taylor, and Charles Ross-
man, aged seventeen years. They
left Bellefonte shortly after dinner on
Tuesday, Miss Taylor taking most of
her clothing with her. Their going
away together was not discovered un-
til several hours later and Bellefonte
police were then asked to find the
young people, if possible, and bring
them home. At the time this item
was written, however, they had not
been located. :
——The county commissioners have
given their consent to the erection of
a permanent band stand on the lawn
in the rear of the jail. The stand will
be located close to the railing sur-
mounting the concrete wall in the
rear of the court house which will in
a measure protect the musicians from
being closely surrounded by children
and others who habitually get as close
as they can to the band. There is no
denying the fact that this will be an
ideal place for the weekly band con-
certs, The lawn is big enough to ac-
commodate most any size crowd while
it will be away from the noise of pass-
ing automobiles, which is always very
trying on the nerves of the members
of the band, especially in rendering
concert music. :
Boys Should Register Now for Camp
Kanesatake.
August 5th to 26th is the time al-
lotted to Centre county boys for their
three week’s outing at Camp Kane-
satake, the beautiful grounds of the
Tri-County and State Sabbath School
association in Huntingdon county, and
inasmuch as all registrations must be
made prior to July 26th all boys be-
tween the ages of ten and sixteen
years who desire to go should lose no
time in getting in their applications.
All applications must be mailed to “S.
S. Aplin, Camp Kanesatake, Franklin-
ville postoffice, Huntingdon county,
Pa.,” and should be accompanied by a
check for $6.00, one week’s board.
The camp has been wonderfully im-
proved since last summer. Twelve
cabins have been erected and wooden
floors put in all tents. A big dam has
been constructed which affords good
bathing and swimming. Athletic
fields have been laid out and the din-
ing hall enlarged to meet all possible
demands. S. S. Aplin, general secre-
tary of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A.,
will be in constant charge of the camp
and this is assurance that the boys
will be carefully looked after.
“Beany” Bathurst Injured in Auto
Accident on Railroad.
Ralph Bathurst, of Curtin, but more
familiarly known as “Beany,” is in
the Bellefonte hospital with a fractur-
ed rib, right collar bone broken and
head injuries as the result of an auto
accident on the Bald Eagle Valley
railroad crossing just below the Cur-
tin station early last Friday after-
noon. “Beany,” who works for Major
H. Laird Curtin, had taken the family
Overland sedan to drive to one of the
Curtin farms which necessitated his
crossing the railroad. As it was not
time for any regular train to pass he
likely was not as careful as he should
have been and did not notice a draft
of four locomotives, three dead and
one alive, going east until he was al-
most upon the track. He could not
stop and failed to get across with the
result that the car was struck and
badly demolished. Mr. Bathurst was
thrown aside with the wreckage and
was picked up unconscious. He was
brought to the Bellefonte hospital and
for thirty-six hours his condition ap-
peared quite serious but on Sunday he
began to improve and his permanent
recovery is now only a question of
time.
Ordinarily when Mr. Bathurst made
such trips he took with him the chil-
dren of Mr. and Mrs. Curtin, but at
the last moment on Friday something
turned up to prevent their going, and
it almost seems providential, for had
they been in the car all would prob-
ably have been badly injured if not
filled,
z Centre County
Saturday Night.
i
The devastating and death-dealing
storm which swept over the northern |
"and eastern portion of Ohio and west- |
ern Pennsylvania late Saturday after- |
noon extended over two-thirds of this
State before it spent its violence, but
fortunately was not as destructive
"hereabouts as further west, although
considerable damage was done in the
way of uprooting trees in orchards,
ete.
The storm struck Bellefonte shortly |
before ten o’clock on Saturday night |
and for almost half‘an hour blew a
terrific gale. A big shade tree in front |
of the George Kelly home on Spring
street was blown down, falling across
the street to the Methodist church.
The tree, however, had been almost
entirely rotted off at the ground, only
a few roots holding it in place. One
of the tall trees on the terrace at the
Humes home on Allegheny and How-
ard streets was split in twain and the
falling portion completely demolished
a nice bed of tomatoes in the garden.
On Spring street a large branch was
blown from one of the shade trees in
front of the Holz property, falling
across the street and landing on the
big cable of the Bell Telephone com-
pany, where it lay until Monday morn-
ing. Almost every street in Belle-
fonte had its quota of limbs blown
off the shade trees and in many in-
stances these fell upon wires of the
Keystone Power corporation and tele-
phone companies, putting both the
electric light and many telephones out
of commission.
The same condition prevailed
throughout Centre county, falling
limbs causing the telephone compa-
nies considerable damage and annoy-
ance. Up the Buffalo Run and Half-
moon valleys the storm was unusual-
ly severe and very few orchards es-
caped without having from one to
four or more trees blown down, while
the ground was plentifully strewn
with broken off limbs. Nittany and
Pennsvalleys also felt the force of the
storm, but so far as can be learned at
this writing no buildings were dam-
aged.
The storm was accompanied by
thunder and lightning and followed by
rain which continued all night. It
was the first severe thunder storm we
have had this summer.
Through Nittany valley the storm
was not nearly so disastrous as was
the one that swept through there at
noon on the Wednesday previous.
Many trees were uprooted but no
great damage was done to buildings
or fences. In and about Hecla park
the devastation seems to have been
greatest. A number of trees in the
Park were blown down and in McMul-
len’s orchard several apple trees were
laid low. A beautiful locust that stood
in front of McMullen’s lodge was
blown over, wrecking the northwest
corner of the front porch. :

Prospecting for Coal
Mountain.
on Nittany
Wouldn’t it be surprising if Belle-
fonters should wake up one of these
fine mornings and learn that a coal
mine had been opened up almost at
their doors? And such a thing is a
possibility notwithstanding the fact
that geologists have long ago declar-
ed it not even a probablity of locating
coal in this exact section of the State.
Just at present two prospecting oper-
ations are being conducted on Nittany
mountain, not far from Pleasant Gap.
One by Ray Noll, on lands owned by
the Nolls to the east of the mountain
road, and one by Harry Breon on his
farm purchased from the Harry Zim-
merman estate.
The story that led up to the pros-
pecting is as follows: Mr. Breon had
water piped from a small stream on
his farm to his barn for the use of his
stock, but there wasn’t fall enough to
carry the water to a new trough he
erected. So he dug a ditch to the
headwaters of the stream, a good
spring at the foot of the mountain,
for the purpose of laying a pipe from
the spring to his barn. The next
morning the water was covered with
an oily, green, substance which he
thought might indicate oil, but upon
inquiry of people who are supposed to
know was informed that the indica-
tions were more favorable for coal
than oil.
Consequently he sought advice of
an experienced coal man who, after
looking the ground over, advised him
where to dig if he desired to prospect
for coal. Mr. Breon now has men at
work sinking a shaft and has struck
a vein of slate similar to the outerop-
pings and coverings of all coal depos-
its. This slate has been compared to
the slate covering the B vein in the
Snow Shoe region and is pronounced
identical. Of course, no coal has yet
been found but Mr. Breon feels hope-
ful he is on the right track. In fact
it was the good prospects of Mr. Bre-
on that induced Ray Noll to start
prospecting at another point on the
mountain.

——The jury in the condemnation
proceedings brought by the Bellefonte
school board against the defunct
Bellefonte Gas and Steam Heating
company held another session on Mon-
day morning and heard additional tes-
timony pro and con. After consider-
ing the testimony the viewers will
make a report, but as it looks now the
case will eventually get into the courts
and probably result in long drawn out
litigation before the issue is deter-
mined.
