The fact of the matter is that Mr. Corman dropped his pocket- book in the milk station where it was found under one of the big vats a day or two after he lost it and returned to him intact, and he failed to make known its recovery. During a severe electric storm which passed over Philadelphia and vicinity, last Friday afternoon, light- ‘ning struck the garage of Charles McClure Esq., on Runnymede Ave. Mr. McClure was in the garage tink- ering with his car at the time and was severely burned on the shoulder and upper portion of the body. The bolt also set fire to the building and his calls for help brought a neigh- bor, Fredesick FEleyy to his res- cue. HE got him out of the burning building and summoned the firemen. The fire was extinguished after doing about $600 damage. Mr. McClure is a son of Mr. and Mrs. James I. Mc- Clure, of Bellefonte, and in a letter to his father this week he states that he is recovering from the effeqfs of the shock. AUTO THIEVES BUSY IN TOWN. Daring Attempts to Steal Cars on Monday Night Failed, but One Taken Tuesday Night. Some unknown person or persons made at least four daring and unsuec- cessful attempts to steal Bellefonte automobiles on Monday night. The cars of W. D. Zerby Esq., and Cel. James G. Taylor were removed from in front of their respective homes but whoever took them were evidently un- able to get them started for both cars were abandoned at the Lutheran church. The car of Hugh Wagner, the High street _confectioner, was taken from the rear of his home on Thomas street and found down near Frank M. Mayer’s mill. The car of James Furst Esq., was removed from in front of his home on west Linn street and found in front of Frank Sasserman’s home on north Water street, and the person who took it and was compelled to abandon it because he could not get the motor started took a bicycle be- longing to one of Mr. Sasserman’s younger daughters. No trace of it has been found. Bellefonte police are of the opinion that the attempts to steal the cars were made by one or more of the prisoners who escaped from the Rockview peni- tentiary on Sunday night, but this is mere speculation. It is hardly possi- ble that any one of that gang would be loitering: in or around Bellefonte for a period of thirty-six hours. It is more likely that the attempts were made by somebody who was anxious to take a car ride, regardless of the consequences. About half-past four o’clock on Tuesday morning Frank P. Hoag, manager of the Western Maryland Dairy, ‘was awakened by a noise on the street in front of his home on north Thomas street and hurrying down stairs went out on the front porch to see what was wrong. As he did so a man jumped from his car and ran north en Thomas street. While from appearance Mr. Hoag was not able to identify the man as one of the escaped prisoners from the Rockview penitentiary, he yet feels certain that such was the case because, he argues, no Bellefonte man would attempt to steal a car at that hour in the morn- ing. And the only reason he didn’t get his was because it was locked and he couldn’t start it. Such was not the case, however, with Frank Crawford’s car, as auto thieves got away with it on Tuesday night and at this writing no trace of the car has been discovered. With a tank full of gas when Mr. Crawford drove to his home on east Curtin street on Tuesday evening he left the car stand on the driveway in the rear of the house instead of running it into the garage. On Wednesday morning the car was gone without leaving a trace of its disappearance. Francis Crawford slept on the sleeping porch, which is in the rear of the house and not many feet from where the car was parked and yet he failed to hear the thief or thieves, evidence that they are experts at getting away with a car, especially when it is left out in the open, full of gas and the ignition key in place. In addition to the above theft and attempts at stealing cars the owner of a private garage made the discovery on Wednesday that the lock on the garage door had been almost filed off, but whoever did the job was evidently frightened away before he could get inside. Naturally car owners have cause to worry over this sudden outbreak, and Bellefonte authorities are taking steps to prevent, if possible, any further stealing. On Wednesday night, owing to the presence in town of so many automobilists, special policemen were put on to guard the cars, and so far as could be learned no attempts were made to steal anything. Roy Chambers Injured in Mine. Roy Chambers, son of David Cham- bers, of Clarence, is in the Bellefonte hospital with a broken leg, body cuts and bruises and internal injuries as the result of a fall of rock in mine No. 26, near Clarence, last Friday morning. He had put off a shot and after waiting a reasonable length of time went in to see whether it was successful or not, and just as he en- tered the chamber there was a delay- ed fall of rock which almost buried him beneath it. He was removed as quickly as possible and after being given first aid treatment was brought to the Bellefonte hospital. There it was found he had sustained a broken leg, numerous cuts and bruises on the head and body and internal injuries. It was impossible to determine the ex- tent of the latter for several days but as he is now resting easier it is not believed they will prove as sericus as at first feared. Diller Buck Dies at Wheel of Car. Diller Buck, a well known farmer of Warriorsmark township, Hunting- don county, and who had many friends in the western end of Centre county, literally died at the wheel of his au- tomobile on Saturday evening. Mr. Buck and family were on their way home from Huntingdon where they at- tended the Goodman family reunion. L Just after crossipg the bridge in the town of Alexandria Mr, Buck stopped his car in the middle of the highway,’ relaxed in his seat and died without a word. He was a son of Isaac and Lydia Ann Buck and was born near Centre Line seventy-four years ago. He is survived by his wifc and four chil- dren; also two sisters and one broth- er. Burial was made in the Methodist cemetery at Warriorsmark on Tues- ! No [ day afternoon. Murder Case. No new developments of a startling . ~ | nature have occurred in the Musser murder case. The three men now in the Centre county jail, namely, Harry Musser, Herbert Heaton and Seymore Stover, all believed to be implicated in one way or another with the killing of William Musser in Little Sugar | valley on the night of July 19th, are ‘maintaining complete silence in re- gard to what took place on Saturday evening and night of the above date. While district attorney. Arthur C. Dale and sheriff E. R. Taylor feel en- tirely confident that they have the right men, the exact motive for the killing has not been cleared up unless it is in connection with the transfer of William Musser’s property. As told in the “Watchman” at the time of the murder William Musser, when he was arrested for bootlegging almost a year ago, deeded his proper- ty to his nephew, Harry Musser. Said property had been purchased by Wil- liam Musser some two or three years previous for approximately $900. Following his release from the county jail on July 12th, he naturally decid- ed he would like the property return- ed to him, but Harry Musser, during the months his uncle was in jail, had sold the property to a man named Smith for $1500, and Smith and his family were then and are now occu- pying the same. It is also rumored that William Musser came to Belle- fonte and consulted an attorney in regard to bringing action against his nephew to compel the return of the property. This was only a few days before he was brutally murdered in Little Sugar valley, and this may have been the motive of the tragedy. Harry Musser, naturally, is the man most deeply interested and he so far has maintained a somewhat indiffer- ent attitude as to the outcome. No preliminary hearing has been held up to this time and it is just possible none will be held, as the September term of court is only about a month away and it is cuite likely the men will be brought to trial at that time. In the meantime the attorneys inter- ested in the case are hard at work preparing for the legal tilt that seems inevitable. Milesburg the Amusement Mecca To- morrow, Afternoon and Evening. Thousands of Centre countians were probably disappointed at not get- ting the car given away at the busi- ness men’s picnic on Thursday, but another opportunity is offered to get a car for nothing by attending the big doin’s of the Wetzler band at Miles- burg tomorrow. The car to be given away there will be taken right out of the sales room and has not been run all over the county for advertising purposes. The first part of tomorrow’s pro- gram will be held in the afternoon when the Milesburg and Grass Flat baseball teams will cross bats. From time immemorial Milesburg has had the reputation of producing good ball players, and there are still enough of them there to make things interesting for any team going against them. For this reason the game tomorrow is going to be one worth seeing. Of course the festival in the even- ing will be the great attraction. Wetzler’s band will be in full regalia and will furnish the music. And we all know the reputation this band has all over the country. In fact it is al- ways a prize winner wherever it ap- pears and they will render some of their best and latest selections tomor- row evening. Milesburg is easy of access, and motoring parties from most any sec- tion of the county can reach it over state highways. Preparations have been made to entertain a large crowd, so you need have no hesitation in going. Trustees Hold Monthly Meeting. Hospital The monthly meeting of the board of trustees of the Centre County hos- pital was held at the hospital on Tues- day evening. The Building committee submitted plans for the excavation and founda- tion for the new wing of the hospital, which were approved by the board and the committee was authorized to ad- vertise for bids for the work. As it will be several weeks before bids ean be received, considered and the con- tract awarded it will mean at least a month before actual work can be started. The Finance committee reported that a small number of subscribers to the big drive fund have not paid their May first installment, and all such are urged to bring their payments up to date without delay. The Supplies committee reported that contracts have been made with several local concerns for necessary supplies for the hospital at a figure which will effect a considerable re- duction in the cost of same. President Hazel announced that the Ladies Auxiliary will appoint the members of the visiting committee in the near future. New P. O. S. of A. Camp at Boalshurg A new Camp of the P. 0. S. of A. will be instituted at Boalsburg on Tuesday evening, August 19th, at 7:30 o'clock, by district president John M. Fisher, of Bellefonte. The initiatory work will be put on by the degree team of Bellefonte Camp, un- der the direction of degree master Niles E. Davis. The speakers for the evening will be Judge ‘Albert Johnson, of Lewisburg; Hon. W. I. Swope, of Clearfield, and Charles B. Helms, of Philadelphia, State secretary. New Developments in Musser EIGHT PRISONERS ESCAPE. Seven Took French Leave on Sunday, One on Monday. Two of Them Recaptured. Seven more prisoners escaped from the Rockview penitentiary on Sunday, but one was recaptured on Monday, leaving six unaccounted for at this writing. The first man to make his { escape was William Rapolsky, of Lu- zerne county, who got away some time during the afternoon by scaling the stockade. His absence was not discovered until supper time when his place at the table was vacant. Guards were promptly sent out on the hunt of him and while thus engaged six more men got away by cutting their way fto liberty through the wire stock- ade. The six men were John Kelly, of Westmoreland county; John Kel- ley, of Philadelphia; John L. Corman, of Erie; J. T. Johnston, of Allegheny; Fred Lutz, of Clearfield, and Frank Pace, of Allegheny. “ John Kelly, of Westmoreland, was captured near Un- ionville on Monday morning by Wil- liam Stanley, of Milesburg, and re- turned to the Centre county jail. Several weeks ago four men made their escape from Rockview and last week another prisoner got away, none of whom have been recaptured. Veri- ly it is beginning to look as if “sym- pathy for the unfortunates” is being wasted on the prisoners at Rockview. The second of the escaped prison- ers was rounded up on Tuesday morn- ing below Smith’s mills, in Little Nit- tany valley, by two penitentiary guards. He proved to be John Kelley, of Philadelphia, one of the men who escaped by cutting through the wire stockade. He was landed in the Cen- tre county jail without offering any resistance. When prison officials made a count of the inmates on Monday even- ing they discovered another man miss- ing, George Brantley, of Crawford county. He worked in the new nurs- ery on the side of the mountain above Peru and failed to return to the pris- on for supper. Brantley, however, was due for his discharge on August 20th and prison officials do not believe he made a get away but rather that he is lost on the mountain. The third one of the escaped pris- oners was recaptured at Harrisburg on Tuesday night. He was Frank Pace, of Allegheny, who was arrested while trying to beg a ride east. He was brought to the Centre county jail on Wednesday. A squad of State police under command of Capt. Stout, was sent to the penitentiary on Tuesday to keep watch for a few days and see that no more escapes occur. Summer Session at State College Will Close Today. The fifteenth annual summer school at State College will close today, fol- lowing the first mid-summer com- mencement held last night. A total of 1923 young men and women, most- ly teachers, have taken the summer course. Every county in Pennsylva- nia as well as twenty-two other States were represented. Women students outnumbered the men two to one. Seventy-three men and women took the course in French and sixty de- grees were awarded by Dr. John M. Thomas at the -commencement last night.

The Women’s Missionary societies of most of the churches in Lewistown have arranged for a religious and mis- sionary display at the Mifflin county fair at Lewistown next week. A com- plete line of interdenominational mis- sion study books will be shown as well as curios from various foreign countries. Girls in costume will have charge of the booth all the time and free leaflets and other literature will be distributed. Any one attending the fair should not fail to visit the mis- sionary booth. ; Painfully Hurt in Stone Crusher. While helping to operate a stone crusher at his home in Marion town- ship, one day last week, Ralph Orr had a rather thrilling experience as well as narrow escape from very ser- ious injury. In some way he got a little too close to the ponderous ma- chinery with the result that his cloth- ing was caught and he was drawn against the crusher. Fortunately his garments gave way and every bit of them were torn from his body except his socks and shoes. Mr. Orr was badly bruised but not seriously hurt and is well on the way to normalcy. Ku Kluxers Hold Meeting in Court House. A regularly scheduled meeting in the interest of the Ku Klux Klan was held in the court house on Wednesday evening which was addressed by Dr. Brewster, of Pittsburgh. Some three hundred men from Bellefonte and var- ious portions of the ebunty were pres- ent but none of them were gowned or hooded. Admission to the meeting was by card only, but anybody who wished to attend was given a card at the door, so that it was not entirely a secret affair. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Abner Alexander and E. M.
