from the Bellefonte hospital last week
following six week’s medical treat-
ment. Although not fully recovered
he is much improved, but will go to
Pittsburgh today or tomorrow and en-
ter a hospital in that city for further
observation and treatment.
——The experience of a traveling
man at one of Bellefonte’s leading ho-
tels, on Saturday night, proves that it
doesn’t pay for strangers to make de-
rogatory remarks about girls or wom-
en passing along the street. In the
first place gentlemen wouldn’t do it,
and in the second, there might be
somebody nearby who would resent
it, as in the above mentioned instance.
A request has been made for
victrola records for the prisoners at
Rockview. In possession of a good
victrola the records are inadequate
for the demand; so that persons in
this loeality, or any where, are asked
to donate records of which they have
tired, or are slightly scratched. If
taken to the Potter-Hoy hardware
store they will be promptly delivered
to Rockview. .
Among the marriage licenses

this week was one to Harold Russell
Zimmerman, of Bellefonte, and Miss
Tessie Jean Watson, of Snow Shoe.
Mr. Zimmerman is a son of Mr. and
Mis. Edward Zimmerman, and is an
industrious young man. Another li-
cense granted was to Claude Daniel

open the Kepler school.” Mr. H. S.
Illingworth, secretary of the board,
writes this paper that at the request
of many citizens the directors have
been making every effort in their pow-
er to have the school reopened.
———A terrific hail storm passed
over State College and that section of
the county about five o’clock on Wed-
nesday evening which did considera-
ble damage to the gardens and corn.
In sorae fields the corn was virtually
cut into ribbons while all kinds of
garden vegetables were hammered al-
most flat to the ground. A high wind
accompanied the storm and the roof
was blown off John Everhart’s barn
while big limbs were broken from
trees and scattered helter skelter,
——Charles C. Keichline ‘has in-
stalled a new ice cream refrigerating
plant in his store near the railroad
which does away with all the trouble
of handling ice. While the plant is lo-
cated right in the front store room it
operates so smoothly that the hum of
the motor is not much louder than the
hum of a bumble bee. While the pri-
mary object of the plant is to keep the
ice cream in a well frozen condition
it has also a cooling influence on the
temperature of the room and makes it
much more comfortable for the jitney
club.

_ —In another column of this pa-
per is an advertisement for an apart-
ment to rent in Centre Hall and the
advertiser states it as being suitable
for a professional man. Her reason
for so doing is that Centre Hall is
short on doctors and dentists and she
hopes that some one of either profes-
gion may be induced to locate there.
And this brings up the fact that many
of the small towns throughout the
county are without a doctor and in the
case of sudden illness it is sometimes
hours before a physician can be se-
cured. Of course most every doctor
now-adays has his own automibile and
the condition is not as bad as it would
be if horses were the only means of
travel. Years ago most every hamlet
in the country had its own physician
but of late the drift has been toward
the larger towns as offering a better
opportunity for specialization.
ANOTHER ARREST IN MUSSER J —~— The Hon. A. G. Morris is con- . Younger Boys to go to Camp
fined to bed at his home on Linn
TRAGEDY.
The Revolver in the Case Found and
Now in Possession of Authorities.
With the arrest last Thursday of
seventeen year old Seymore Stover, a
farm hand in the employ of Harry
Musser, and the finding of the revol-
ver with which it is presumed Wil-
liam Musser was killed, the authori-
ties feel confident they have a clear
case against the men now under ar-
rest, especially against Harry Mus-
ser as being the principal in the crime,
Herbert Heaton as an accessory and
young Stover as an accessory after
the fact.
Following the arrest of Harry Mus-
ser on Monday afternoon of last week
officers searched every nook and cor-
ner of his premises for a gun. They
also completely combed the ground
surrounding the scene of the tragedy
on the possibility that the revolver
might have been thrown away, but all
to no purpose. Finally, on Wednes-
day, district attorney Arthur C. Dale
and officer Robert Mingle, of State
College, went to the Musser home and
accused Stover of having knowledge
as to the whereabouts of the revolver.
He at first denied all knowledge of
any gun and maintained his innocence
as well as ignorance of any facts re-
lating to the murder. Before the offi-
cers left, however, they felt convinc-
ed that Stover was not as innocent
nor ignorant as he pretended to be
and also, that he knew where the gun
was.
Consequently on Thursday Sheriff
Taylor again went to the Musser home
and found Stover in the feed entry in
the barn. He approached him in a
friendly way and extended his hand to
shake hands, and as Stover put out
his hand the sheriff snapped the hand-
cuffs on him, promptly demanding to
know where the gun was hidden.
Very badly scared Stover, in a rather
hesitating way, declared he didn’t
know but the sheriff told him that he
knew that he did know and unless he
delivered up the gun it would be the
worse for him.
Stover finally yielded and taking the
sheriff to the rear part of the entry
dug up the gun. From its appearance
it had evidently been buried outside in
the ground for a few days then dug
up and hidden in the entry. It is a
thirty-two calibre revolver, and shoots
the kind of cartridges that caused
William Musser’s death. With the
gun in his possession Sheriff Taylor
brought Stover to Bellefonte and put
him in the county jail, making the
third arrest in connection with the
tragedy.
As stated above the officers now be-
lieve they have a complete chain of
circumstantial evidence implicating
the men under arrest and every effort
will be made to have the case brought
to trial at the September term of
court. Up to this writing none of the
men under arrest have demanded a
habeas corpus hearing, and it is just
possible they may await the regular
court trial.

Kiwanians Hear Talk on Meat.
Prof. William H. Tomhave, the man
who is responsible for all the prize
cattle grown at The Pennsylvania
State College, was the principal speak-
er at the Tuesday noon luncheon of
the Kiwanis club, at the Bush house
on Tuesday. noon. His subject was
“Meat, Its Production and Use in the
United States.” While most of the
'Kiwanians present know what to do
with a chunk of savory meat when
placed on a plate in front of them Mr.
Tomhave was able to tell them many
facts that they did not know.
A pleasing incident was the presen-
tation by Kiwanian John Love of a
small purse of money, the gift of the
club, to Miss Berenice Crouse, who is
about to leave on her annual vacation,
in appreciation of her services as mu-
sician for the club. Miss Crouse is
the talented young pianist at the
Scenic theatre.
The musical hit of the hour was a
new and catchy song composed by R.
Russell Blair. An invitation was re-
ceived from Hershey to attend the
annual Kiwanian picnic which was
held there yesterday, and twenty or
more members decided to attend.
The next meeting of the club will
be quatiterly ladies night and will be
held at the Brockerhoff house next
Tuesday evening at 8:30 o’clock. Ar-
rangements will be made for one hun-
dred and twenty-five covers.

-——One evening last week while
Reynolds Maurer was on the way out
to the pasture field to bring in the
cows on his brother Harry’s farm in
Nittany valley, he saw a dark form
silhouetted in the branches of a cher-
ry tree.
cherries he quietly made his way to
the tree, but when he got there was
amazed to discover a huge bear sit-
ting on a limb, stripping off the fruit
with his paw and devouring it with
apparent satisfaction. The bear com-
pleted his feast, slid down the tree,
took a good look at Maurer then
shambled off toward the mountains.

Miss Margaret Lois Rishel,
daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Charles W.
Rishel, of Pleasant Gap, gave a recital
at the western penitentiary at Rock-
view, on Tuesday evening, for the en-
tertainment of the five hundred or
more inmates. Miss Rishel studied
elocution and music in Boston, Mass.,
and has appeared upon the platform
under the direction of the Lyceum bu-
reau. She is a delightful and charm-
ing entertainer and her recital at the
penitentiary on Tuesday evening was
greatly appreciated by her audience
of inmates. Miss Rishel will also go
to the penitentiary on Sunday and
sing at the religious services. Be-
tween the first and second parts of her
entertainment on Tuesday evening the
prison orchestra furnished music and
two of the inmates gave impromptu
renditions which were. very. clever.

——This seems to be the time of
year for bear stories and bruin is
coming to the front in various sections
of the State, but one which has not
yet been told had its foundation out
at the Rockview penitentiary. One
night recently the dogs belonging to
the family of warden C. J. Stutzman
made such an unusual fuss that mem-
bers of the family went out to inves-
tigate and found the source of the
trouble to be a big black bear sitting
at the top of the concrete steps lead-
ing to the upper terrace in the rear of
the warden’s residence. The animal
held his point of vantage against the
dogs and did not .yield an inch until
he saw human beings approaching
when he turned tail and made off to-
ward Nittany mountain. The bear
was probably one of the three trans-
ported to Old Nittany from Monroe
county by members of the State Game
Commission,

Beavers Sent to Harrisburg.
Three young beavers, captured from
a colony near Mifflinburg, Union coun-
ty, were shipped through Bellefonte
on Saturday morning consigned to the
State Game Commission, at Harris-
burg. They will be placed in some
other wooded section of the State for
propagation purposes. For many
years the beaver was practically ex-
tinct in Pennsylvania but a few years
ago the Game Commission imported a
number from northwestern States and
now colonies are to be found in var-
ious sections, and if allowed to thrive
and propagate it will not be many
years until the mountains and wood-
lands will be well stocked with them.

Five hundred young people and
“adults of the State have enjoyed the
- privileges of camping for two weeks
“at Camp Kanesatake, attending the
sessions of the Sunday school train-
_ing camp. From August 5th to 26th
' the camp will be opened to the young-
. er boys of Blair, Centre and Hunting-
"don counties, who are members of
Sunday schools or Y. M. C. A’s, be-
tween ten and sixteen years of age.
A recreational and woodcraft program
will be conducted and an able staff of
leaders will assist the director, Steph-
en S. Aplin, who has conducted four-
teen camps for Y.M. C. A. and Scout
boys. He will also be assisted by J.

will have the athletic activities un-
der his direction. Fourteen cabins are
available for the boys. Each cabin is
arranged to accommodate ten, includ-
ing the group counsellor, who will be
in charge of his group of boys.

beautifully situated about one mile off
the State road between Spruce Creek
and Franklinville. The cabins are on
the camp hill, the water supply pump-
ed from the spring below, and grounds
and buildings electrically lighted. The
dining hall accommodates 250, and
makes an excellent place for evening
programs when wet weather prevents
the holding of nightly campfires. The
, boys will be taught the art of camp-
ing and taking care of themselves on
over-night hikes. Baseball and volley
ball teams will be organized and
‘schedules for competitive teams ar-

with years of experience, prepares
menus which tickle the ‘palates of the
boys.
The camp is limited to 100 boys.
Groups have been registered from
Bellefonte, Alexandria, Williamsburg,
Tyrone and Altoona districts, and
there are vacancies for about twenty-
five more. The cost of camping, in-
cluding board and lodging, is $6.00
per week. Iron cots with mattresses
are provided, the boys to supply nec-
essary clothing, which should include
woolen blankets or comfortable.
Campers may sign up for two or
three weeks. Applications should be
made to the director, S. S. Aplin,
Franklinville P. O., Huntingdon coun-
ty, Pa., at least one week before ar-

The above tells the story of the past
week so far as Bellefonte’s winning
streak in the Centre county baseball
league is concerned, while the other
teams divided honors, Millheim de-
feating State by the score of 10 to 3
and Centre Hall putting one over on
Millheim 5 to 3.
Bellefonte has been hitting on all
six cylinders lately. Their winning
streak has lasted for eight straight
games, the last defeat being at the
hands of Millheim on June 28th. Lose
hit one which was headed for a new
bat on Saturday. The clout was good
for four bases and Keller robbed him
of another in the sixth which ought to
have been good for four more.
Martin showed the natives how sec-
ond base should be played on Thurs-
day, handling eight chances without a
slip. He handled two balls which
were labeled for sure hits and drew
much applause from the fans. Sweng
Smith has returned to form in bat-
ting. In the past four games he has
batted in ten runs and hit for an av-
erage of .571. Following is the stand-
ing of the teams:

Big Boxing Bouts for Business Men's
Picnic.
Never before in the annual picnic
history of the Associated Business
Men of Bellefonte was there offered
such big attractions as will appear at
the picnic to be held on Thursday,
August 14th. In addition to two
games of baseball and various other
sports a big boxing and wrestling
program will be put on.
In the boxing there will be two pre-
liminary events of more than ordinary
merit to be followed by two principal
bouts between Kid Bailey and Tom
Burns, and Kid Louchran and Jack
Dugan. In addition there will be a
blindfolded battle royal between seven
colored gentlemen.
A wrestling bout will also be a fea-
ture, the principals in which will be
Bull Montana, formerly of Philadel-
phia, and W. J. Oberly, the champion
Pennsylvania railroad wrestler. .
A Ford car and a fine radio outfit
will be given away the evening of the
picnic.
While any one who sees fit to do so
can take their basket along, there will
be plenty of good eats and other re-
freshment' stands on the grounds.
Keep the date in mind and make
your plans to be one of the big crowd
that is sure to throng the park that
day. A good orchestra will furnish
music for dancing in the pavilion day
and night.
