Prominent Hardware Man Collides
With Train.
Early Christmas eve Edward R.
Owen, senior partner of the Belle-
fonte Harware Co., drove his Ford
coupe into the Lewisburg freight as it
was passing the south Water street
crossing, wrecking the machine and
injuring himself so badly that the first
rescuers on the scene thought him
dead.
Mr. Owen was driving from his
home near the hospital to the store.
It was early evening, but so dark that
when he approached the railroad
crossing at the Phoenix pumping sta-
tion he did not see the freight train,
which was late and sliding slowly in-
to the station, until he was not more
than twenty feet from it. Realizing
that a collision was then unavoidable
he resorted to the only means possi-
ble of escape and turned sharply to
the right. The turn was so abrupt
that it swung the rear end of his
coupe around striking the first car
behind the engine. Somehow or oth-
er the rear fender hooked onto the car
and it was dragged by the train
across the street and just to the edge
of the sunken yard of the Shultz
home. A few feet further and it
would have fallen over the yard wall
and landed some six feet below. The
engine men heard the crash and stop-
ped the train, thus saving, possibly,
more serious injury to the driver.
As it was, when they reached him,
Owen was lying flat in his car, head
out one side and feet out the other,
unconscious. He was hurried to the
hospital where an examination reveal-
ed that he was suffering principally
from shock. His face was more or
less cut and his arm lacerated, but by
Christmas morning he had recovered
to the point where he insisted upon |
being taken home.
At first Mr. Owen thought he had
been blinded by the accident. The
glasses that he relies on mestly for
vision were gone and couldn't be
found, but when they were finally lo-
cated behind the back cushion in his
car, and put where they are usually
worn Ed. found that he could see quite
as well as he ever could.
Ivan Walker Appointed District At-
torney by Judge Dale.
Ivan Walker, junior member of the
law firm of Spangler & Walker, was
last Friday appointed district attorney
of Centre county by Judge Arthur C.
Dale thus filling the office made va-
cant when Mr. Dale became president
judge just one week earlier. The
fact will be recalled that Mr,
Dale was elected district attor-
ney in the fall of 1923 on the Dem-
ocratic ticket over John G. Love. He
was appointed judge by Governor Pin-
chot as successor to the late judge
Henry C. Quigley. On the day he was
sworn into office, December 13th, he
resigned as district attorney and the
office was vacant for one week.
Mr. Walker, the appointee, is a
young attorney of considerable abili-
ty and promise. While the greater
part of his efforts since admission to
the Centre county bar have been devot-
ed to office work he has every neces-
sary qualification for a sucessful prac-
titioner at bar. In politics he is a
Democrat, being a son of former sher-
iff W. Miles Walker, and is a man of
conscientious temperance proclivities.
It is understood that in accepting
the appointment he made it known
that he would not be a candidate for
election to the office in the fall of
1925, and also reserved the right to
resign at any time if he felt it expe-
dient to do so.

$25,000 Fire at Tyrone.
Fire at an early hour on Sunday
morning completely gutted a business
block on Pennsylvania avenue, Ty-
rone, owned by F. G, ‘Albright and
George C. Wilson, entailing a loss es-
timated at $25,000. In the Wilson
section of the building were located
Irvin T. Gray & Son and Givler &
Nolan’s meat market, while Albert
Alberts and family occupied the
apartments above the meat market.
In the Albright section of the block
were Young's candy shop, which was
completely gutted; Miller's electric
shop, with B. F. Dickson and family
and Mrs. Mary Albright occupying
the flats. Zero weather prevailed and
the firemen were handicapped in the
early stages of the fight by the
fact that a number of fireplugs
were frozen up. The fire was
close to the Wilson theatre and at one
time it was feared that it, too, would
go, but the firemen succeeded in over-
coming the flames before they reach-
ed the theatre. : § iit

AIKEN.—Mrs. Adda L. Aiken, for
many years a resident of Bellefonte,
passed away at her home in Cleveland,
Ohio, at 4:45 o'clock on the morning
of December 21st, as the result of a
general breakdown in health.
She was a daughter of Isaac O. and
Emeline Jacobs Odenkirk and was
born in the Kishacoquillas valley, Mif-
flin county, over seventy-nine years
ago. Her girlhood life was spent near
the place of her birth but immediately
after her marriage to John Alexander
Aiken they took up their residence in
Milroy. Several years later they
went to Lewistown where Mr. Aiken
formed a partnership with J. M. Bun-
nell and opened a store for the sale of
musical instruments. From that place
they came to Bellefonte over forty
years ago and located on south Alle-
gheny street. Mr. Bunnel finally re-
tired from the firm and Mr. Aiken be-
came sole proprietor of the store, and
in due time erected the brick block on
the corner of Allegheny and Bishop
streets now occupied by Schlow’s
Quality Shop. :
Through assisting her husband in
the store Mrs. Aiken acquired a keen
business instinct and later on
opened a ladies furnishing store
in one of the rooms in the block, thus
becoming one of the pioneer business
women in Bellefonte. Following the
death of her husband she sold the mu-
sic store and devoted her entire time
to her furnishing store, which had
grown into a permanent and profita-
ble business. Eight years ago she
sold her store to Miss Newman, who
later sold it to Charles Schlow. The
years ago and then it was that Mrs.
Aiken and her daughter, Miss Emma,
left Bellefonte, and took up their res-
idence in Cleveland, Ohio.
She was a member of the Christian
Science church and for a number of
years had been a lay reader. A wom-
an of charming manner and and dis-
position she had a large circle of
ty who deeply deplore her death.
Her husband died about twenty-five
years ago and was followed eight
months later by her only son, J. Earl
Aiken. Surviving her, however, are
two daughters, Mrs. George B. John-
ston, of Beaver Falls, and Miss Em-
ma, of Cleveland, Ohio. She also
leaves three brothers, Homer, Howe
and William Odenkirk, all of Wooster,
Ohio.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on the 1:20 p. m. train on De-
cember 23rd and taken direct to the
Union cemetery for burial.

The Brant House Sold to W. Ww.
Bickett. |
The Brant house on the corner. of
Bishop and Allegheny streets, Belle-
fonte, has been sold to W. W. Bick-
ett, who for a number of years past
has conducted a pool room and cigar
store in the basement of the building
where the bar-room was located in
pre-Volstead days. The building had
been the property of the heirs of the
!late Artluar Brown, principal among
whom are Arthur and Anthony
Brown, of New York city, who are at
the head of the Brown Bros. Manu-
facturers Corporation. The hotel has
been conducted by Mrs. W. W. Wad-
dle for a number of years and she had
an option for its purchase, but not
caring to exercise it waived her rights
in favor of Mr. Bickett, so that the
deal so far as the two tenants are con-
cerned was entirely an amicable pro-
ceeding. ;
The property was built as a resi-
dence in 1840 by Bond Valentine for
his son Robert who, with his family,
some stone house on the corner of
Curtin and Allegheny streets now oc-
.cupied by Judge Ellis L. Orvis and
‘family. Jerry Butts, a well known
hotelman, took charge of the preper-
ty and opened it as a hotel under the
name of the Butts house. Mr. Butts
was succeeded by F. X. Lehman who
- conducted the hotel until 1885, when
it was taken over by Emanuel Brown
and operated as a temperance hotel
under the name of the Fountain
House. The next proprietor was Hen-
ry Yeager, who re-established the bar
rand renamed the hotel the Brant
house, after Jacob Brant Hahn, a well
known traveling man. James Noonan
was the next proprietor and several
years after his death Mrs. Noonan
sold out to W. W. Waddle. Following
his death Mrs. Waddle has conducted
, the place most successfully.

L. Daggett several months ago, retir-
ing and the managership passing into
the hands of H. J. and A. D. Rhine-

| The Christmas season was ushered
in with community services on Sunday
night, December 21st. They were
i scheduled to take place around the
{ community tree erected in the Dia-
‘ mond under the auspices of the Camp-
'fire girls and the Bellefonte Kiwanis,
‘but owing to the extremely cold
weather were held in the court house.
John B. Payne presided and music
{ was furnished by a quartette compos-
' ed of Cecil Walker, Mrs. Robert Walk-
ler and Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wil-
‘liams. Rev. M. DePui Maynard offer-
| ed prayer and delivered a very appro-
| priate talk. Gregg Curtin took the
i part of Santa Claus and distributed
i six hundred boxes of candy to the
children.
On Christmas morning a group of
twenty-five carollers made the rounds
of the town and sang a number of the
{ beautiful old-time carols and Christ-
| mas songs to the delight of all who
: heard them.
On Christmas morning twenty-five
. baskets, each filled with the makings
{of a delicious Christmas dinner were
distributed to those deserving the
same through the beneficence of the
‘| Bellefonte Lodge of Elks, with the as-
sistance of Mrs. R. S. Brouse.
Christmas cheer was extended the
prisoners in the Centre county jail
through the medium of a roast goose
dinner, while out at Rockview the
prisoners were given a dinner similar
to the one served on Thanksgiving.
All the Sunday schools in the town
had special Christmas services at
which candy and oranges were dis-
tributed to the little folks.
Many merchants in the town com-
plain that their holiday business this
year was not as good as ‘in former
years, and considerably below that an-
ticipated. But the innumerable large
packages that came to Bellefonte
from mail order houses in the cities
were evidence that a large part of the
Christmas shopping had been done
out of town. In fact the postoffice of
the biggest days business ever han-
dled in the Bellefonte office, evidence
that the giving of gifts was no less
this year than formerly.
But the Christmas season is now a
thing of the past. The new year is
here and the only way to make it a
mutually profitable one is for all to
work together for the good of the
town and community, as well as every
one individually and collectively. This
should be the real solution of the
new year. :

Too Many Mammas.
E. H. Hornberg, who will present
his company of comedians in “Too
Many Mammas,” at the Moose Temple
theatre, Thursday night, January 8th,
prides himself on the fact that he is
offering the public an entertainment
that is unique in its laughter-compel-
ling qualities and yet is absolutely
clean. He proves conclusively that it
is not necessary to be coarse in order
to be funny, and there is not a bit of
dialogue or a situation in the play
that can be considered objectionable in:
the slightest degree. A few theatre-
goers may be found in every city who
find enjoyment in risque lines and
double entendre jokes, but Mr. Horn-
burg believes that the greater of
the amusement loving public object to.
this class of so-called entertainment.
The support given “Too Many Mam--
mas” and the approval it receives in
every theatre where it plays, proves
that he is correct in his belief that the
clean show is the best. This is not a
burlesque show but a clean musical
comedy with a snap. Seats on sale at
