Two Civil Cases Tried in Court Last
Week.
The big murder trials over last
week the court took up the trial of
the case of the Bellefonte Central
| Monday, three charges were entered
John Pinchock Held for Court in
© $1,000 Bail.
John Pinchock, of Clarence, who on
September 10th shot and killed Miss
Margaret McDowell, of Scotchtown,
was given a preliminary hearing be-
fore justice of the peace S. Kline
Woodring, on Monday morning, and
held for trial at court without bail.
‘It will be recalled that Miss McDow-
ell was shot while she and Pinchock,
i Miss Jane Stark and Kenneth Shank
| were standing in the doorway of the '
i Central garage, at Clarence, and at
. the time it was stated that the shoot-
ing was purely accidental. ;
Several days later Pinchock was
arrested on the charge of murder and
has been confined in the Centre coun- :
ty jail ever since. When brought be-
fore the justice for a hearing, on

On Monday night the corporation of , Miss Stark and in an attempt to find | rived home Sunday night from Philader-
i the Centre County Hospital is sched- i a motive for the shooting it was al- | phia, where they had been since their re-
_uled to meet in the court house in this leged that the McDowell girl had a turn from spending the summer along the
ring belonging to Pinchock which she
refused to return to him.
The one point, probably, on which
Pinchock was held without bail, was
the fact as testified to that the revol-
ver with which Miss McDowell was
shot could not be accidentally dis-
charged. It is an Ivor-Johnson weap-
on and supposedly “fool-proof,” inas-
much as the only way a cartridge can
be exploded is by pulling the trigger
of the gun. The witnesses agreed
upon the fact that Pinchock was ex-
hibiting the revolver and snapped it
"open and shut twice, and it was the
second time when it was discharged
and Miss McDowell was shot. Miss
Stark testified that at that time she
heard a double click, which sounded as
if the trigger had been pulled just as
the gun was snapped shut.
Pinchock was represented at the
hearing by S. D. Gettig Esq., and he
promptly took out a writ for a ha- |!
beas corpus hearing, which was held
before Judge Quigley at two o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon. |
The testimony brought out at the

Your Eyes and the Light You Use
Them In. i
In the good, old days before the ad-
vance of civilization, when the In-
dians roamed the hills and vales, keen
eyes were possessed by the entire
population. We might add that in
those days the eyes were not required
to carry the heavy strain to which
they are subjected in our day, but then
again, the aboriginals were always on
the alert to protect themselves from
enemies, wild animals and poisonous
snakes, and it is natural to suppose
that great care was exercised in pro-
tecting the eye-sight.
Today in the mad rush to earn a
living and to keep up with the trend
of the times, the eyes are many times
sacrificed, and total blindness is in-
creasing so fast as to cause great
alarm. Thoughtful men and women
among the industrial leaders have
harkened to the powerful appeals
made by scientists to do something to
stop this great waste of the eyes with
the result that the better Home Light-
ing activity has been inaugurated to
remove the cause by bringing the im-
portance of the movement direct to the
family, through an educational con-
test among the school children.
A $15,000' model electrical home is
the prize for the best thought out
plan. This prize would certainly fit in
nicely in Bellefonte, and it is up to
the children to get busy.
The necessary papers are now being’
distributed ameng the school children;
in the meantime, lay out your plans
and be ready far the contest.
