Coming in the state highway
late Sunday afternoon a Ford car
driven by contractor W. S. Williams !
skidded on the snow covered road as
the driver .was rounding the curve
near the Titan Metal company plant,
turned one complete revolution on the
highway before Mr. Williams could
slow and headed on toward Bellefonte.
Though the car struck the bank at the
side of the road in making the turn it
was not damaged to any extent.
Every man, woman and child
must have recreation of some kind
and the one place in Bellefonte where
this can be obtained every evening
during the week is at the Scenic. An
hour or two spent at that place watch-
ing the motion pictures is the kind of
diversion that makes you forget all
the business cares and worries of the
day and afford a period of pleasing
entertainment. If not a regular you
are missing many good pictures.
This is the day, Friday, Decem-
ber 5, designated by Governor Pinchot
as tuberculosis day in the schools of
Pennsylvania. The close relationship
of schools to the everyday life and
activities of every citizen makes it ap-
propriate that in fighting our great-
est plague, teachers emphasize on one
day the dangers of tuberculosis and
use this occasion to instill in young
minds the lessons of proper living
that they will carry through life.

MANY BUCKS KILLED
ON OPENING DAY
“_
A Tracking Snow in Mountains As-
| sisted Hunters in Trailing
the Deer.
True to the prediction made in the
“Watchman” last week an army of
hunters were on the grounds for the
: opening of the deer hunting season on
i Monday morning. - These included the |
| upwards of two hundred hunting par-
ties made up in Centre county as well
.as the hundreds of hunters who came
into this section from most every part
| of the State.
i Every train last Friday and Satur-
day was crowded with brown-coated
i and red-capped men, most of them
going over into the Seven mountain
, district. The train on the Lewisburg
branch on Saturday evening carried
over two hundred hunters, all of them
bound for the Seven mountains. Even
Snow Shoe hunters, who have always
been partial to the Alleghenies, went
to the Seven mountains for the open-
‘ing day, and while we have no record
of any of the latter killing their buck
on Monday they saw quite a number
of deer, but they were mostly does.
The first report reaching this office
of deer killed was from Potters Mills,
where Boyd Smith, of Spring Mills,
out with a party of day hunters bag-
ged a fine buck on the first drive made
shortly after daylight.
A WOMAN SHOT A FINE DOE.
The next report also came from Pot-
ters“Mills, and it pertained to the kill-
ng of a large three point buck by Mrs.
W. M. Woodring, of Juniata. - Accord-
ing to the report Mrs. Woodring is a
member of a party of Juniata hunt-
ers who are staying at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. M. N. Miller, at Potters
Mills. They were out bright and ear-
ly Monday morning and while stand-
ing watch about ten o’clock eight deer
came out within gunshot of Mrs.
Woodring. She took a shot at one
buck and missed but not dismayed
she left drive at another and brought
it to earth.
John H. Mokle, of Howard, hunt-
ing with the Modoc hunting club, shot
a four pointer on the opening day.
The Union Hunting club made up
of the hunters from Colyer and Red
Lion, York county, got five bucks on
Monday, probably the biggest bag for
the day.
The Bradford party, of Centre Hall,
got two.
The Black Rock party two.
The McKees Rocks hunters two.
The Pleasant Gap crowd one.
The Coatesville party one.
The Heaton party one.
Thomas Meyer, of Colyer, one.
i The Witherite party, hunting in the
Alleghenies above Runville, got a big
buck shortly after daybreak, the deer
having been shot by a Mr. Confer.
Latest reports yesterday morning
show a total of fifty or more bucks
having been killed in the mountains in
the Potters Mills section. The Lake-
mont hunting club has the best kill so
far, 5 bucks.
{ The Williams
have three.
party, of Nittany,
The Regulars of Potters Mills, two.
Georges Valley crowd two.
i The Sweetwood party four.
{ The Bradfords of Centre Hall, four.
The Walter Gherrity crowd two.
The Yeagertown crowd four.
The Pennington party four.
Johnstown hunters at Potters Mills,
three.
Up in the western end of the coun-
ty most every man able to carry a
gun is out with a hunting party on
Old Tussey mountain. All of the
clubs have their regular camps where
they hang up year after year, and of
course every man was on the ground
bright and early Monday morning.
A number of deer were killed on the
opening day, but reports up to yester-
day morning are as follows:
The Pine Hall crowd two.
The Dreiblebis party two.
The Rossman—Sunday party two.
The Ben Everhart crowd two.
The Franklinville gang two.
Harry Gearhart and Bert Lyle each
got one. Fred Gearhart shot a nice
buck and took it home and hung it up,
expecting to cut it up the next morn-
ing, but during the night some person
stole it, hide, hair and all.
J. D. Neidigh got a fine specimen,
and Fred Gearhart Sr. got one.
Thomas Redding, of Snow Shoe,
a buck back on the Alleghenies, on
Tuesday, which it is claimed tipped
the scales at 250 pounds.
PHILIPSBURG HUNTER IN LUCK.
Bert Baumgardner, residing at New
Liberty, was the first hunter to take
a deer into Philipsburg the opening
of the season.
It was taken to Gill’s sporting
goods store, Front street, and the
slayer received the prize offered by
the store for the first deer brought in
—one of Marble’s best hunting knives.
The deer, which weighs about 135
pounds, is a young one, but having,
of course, the legal growth of horns.
Mr. Baumgardner left his home for
the deer country east of Philipsburg
at 8:45 Monday morning. He was
back to town with the buck’s carcass
at 10:30. He got his shot near the
Simcox farm on the Port Matilda
road.
On Wednesday of last week Jack
Witherite and Walter Miller, of Run-
ville, killed a cub bear on the moun-
tain above that place, which is proba-
bly another of the cubs that had been
robbing the Dim Lantern apple orch-
ard a few weeks ago.
‘On the same day two Unionville
hunters killed a big bear in the foot-
hills of the Alleghenies near the Dix
Run district.
On Thanksgiving
day Earl Orr and
The Slack party one deer and a bear. |
| Fred Witmer went down on the ridge
between Zion and Jacksonville to hunt
for small game. They had three dogs
i with them and during the afternoon
| the dogs picked up a hot trail which
the hunters naturally supposed to be
a rabbit. But to their surprise a big
bobcat came out of cover within nine
steps of Mr. Orr. One shot brought
it down. The animal measured three
feet from tip to tip. Two rabbits, one
pheasant and a squirrel were also
bagged by the hunters.
Anent the scarcity of small game
durinfi the season just closed How-
ard Holzworth, of Unionville, lays
claim to having brought in ten pheas-
ants during the season, but avers that
"it is the first time in twenty years
{ that he has fallen below the season
limit, and he claims that the birds are
not in the woods.
TWO HUNTING ACCIDENTS,
The first hunting accident of the
season in Centre county occurred on
Monday afternoon while J. W. Ben-
ner and Mark Fetterolf, of Madison-
burg, were trailing a deer on Brush
mountain. Fetterolf was walking
‘some eight or ten feet behind Benner
and in going through some thick un-
~derbrush his gun was accidentally
"discharged, the ball entering the sole
of Benner’s foot just as he was mak-
, ing a step, coming out near the toes.
{ While not a dangerous wound he will
have a pretty sore foot for some time
to come.
While hunting on Panther run,
' above Beech Creek, on Monday after-
noon, Andy Gonack, of Munson, used
his revolver to call in his comrades on
the hunt. One cartridge failed to ex-
plode when he pulled the trigger but
went off while he was examining the
gun to see what was wrong. The bul-
let hit him in the left shoulder and he
was taken to the Lock Haven hospital
for treatment.
No Court Next Week.
The regular session of December
term of court, scheduled to be held
‘next week, has been cancelled owing
to the sudden death of the late Judge
Henry C. Quigley. Notices to this ef-
fect have been sent to all jurors and
witnesses summoned for said term of
court.

i The Sarcophagus for Woodrow Wilson
The body of former President Wil-
son will be removed from the crypt
where it now lies in the Washington
Cathedral and placed in a marble sar-
‘ cophagus, in the Bethlehem chapel,
. beneath the floor where it now is.
' Mrs. Wilson has instructed the archi-
tects for certain designs, and the sar-
‘ cophagus is being made in Boston.
The fact that the Washington Cathe- |
' dral contains the body of so eminent
| a world citizen will in itself make the
| building a shrine to which Americans
i and others will go in great numbers.
| No changes in politics or racial con-
i tentions will ever eliminate from the
minds of men the history and ideals
of our great War President.

Coatesville Banker Takes Own Life.
A dispatch from Coatesville, on
‘Sunday, announced that Wallace S.
Harlan, a prominent banker and attor-
| ney of that place had committed sui-
i cide by shooting himself in the head.
, His dead body was found lying on the
floor of his office.
| Local interest attaches to the case
from the fact that Mr. Harlan was a
close personal friend of Ira D. Gar-
man, of Philadelphia, and for some
years past had been his guest for two
weeks or longer at Edgefonte, at Axe
“Mann. Mr. Harlan was reputed to be
“a millionaire and his suicide is as-
| cribed to a nervous breakdown which
{ he suffered several months ago. He
was sixty-five years old and is sur-
i vived by his wife, one daughter and a
| brother.

Gross Building Badly’ Damaged by
! Fire Wednesday Night. =
The Gross building, on Spring
street, Bellefonte, was badly damaged
by fire on Wednesday night and only
the good work of the local firemen
saved it from complete destruction.
It was one of the old-time frame
structures and the fire, which orig-
inated in the cellar of the residential
end occupied by William Reed, and at :
one-time the home of the Bellefonte |
club, burned into the partition and up
between the walls of the room before
it was discovered. The lower floor of
the building was occupied by Gross
Bros. grocery and James Schofield’s
saddlery, while the apartments over
these business places were occupied
by Mrs. M. Levi, her son and his wife,
and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Kline.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene they undertook to extinguish
the blaze with chemicals and would
probably have succeeded in doing so
had it not been for the progress the
fire had already made within the walls
and partitions, but the flames break-
ing out in the rear of the structure
they were compelled to resort to wa-
'ter. The flames were eventually ex-
| tinguished but the building is badly
| damaged, probably as much by water
i as by fire.
The Gross Bros., naturally, are the
heaviest losers, as in addition to the
| damage to the building their store and
stock were almost ruined. The flames
, did not reach the Schofield saddlery
and only the rear end of the room oc-
cupied by it was damaged by wa-
i ter. As most of his stock was remov-
| ed to the front of the room his loss is
nominal.
| Very little of the furnishings were
' removed from the Reed residence but
Mrs. Levi and Mrs. Kline got most of |
| their furniture out. For the present
the Klines will be at the home of Mr.
i and Mrs. J. T. Storch.
The total loss will
$25,000, which is only partially cov-
ered with insurance. How the fire
originated is dnknown.

They Have no Winter Where These
Folks Are.
After having struggled with a froz-
en trench to uncover a few heads of
celery, then swept the snow from the
sidewalk and stoked the furnace a bit
we came down to the desk, Monday
morning, to find two notes. Each
from a friend who is basking in a land
of perpetual sunshine, where winters
are unknown.
Frank Hess, formerly of Philips-
burg, writes from his home in Los
Angeles, Cal., that on Saturday, No-
vember 22nd, he watched the Univer-
sity of Southern California and Idaho
play their annual football game and
all the while the thermometer stood
at 90 degrees and the spectators were
in their shirt sleeves and demanding
iced drinks.
The tone of Frank’s letter indicates
that they are happy in their new home
and concludes with a request that we
convey his best wishes to all Centre
county friends.
The other note was from the Carl
Weaver party who started for Flori-
da early in November. They have
reached Haines City, in the cen-
tral portion of the State and seem so
much pleased with the hills and lakes
surrounding, as well as the fine roads,
that they purpose tarrying there some
time.

Thousands Paid to Bellefonters in
Christmas Savings.
Three years ago the Bellefonte
Trust company inaugurated its Christ-
mas savings department and invited
its customers to take advantage of the
same. Quite a number did so and at
the end of the first year they paid out
in Christmas savings checks to the
amount of $8,000. The noising about
of this fact evidently carried its ap-
peal to the public generally as last
year they paid out $18,000 and this
year checks either have been or soon
will be mailed to over four hundred
depositors for a total of between
$22,000 and $23,000. The greater part
of this money will probably be spent
in Bellefonte in Christmas shopping.
