A fifty pound live wild cat in a
strong cage attracted considerable at-
tention as it was being transported
through Harrisburg by motor truck,
last Friday. The animal, it is alleg-
ed, was captured in the mountains of
Centre county by C. W. Anderson, of
Stewartstown; John Ziegler and R. L.
Hodgson, of York, and they were tak-
ing it home with the intention of mak-
ing a pet of it, evidently forgetting
that unknown something that makes
the wild cat wild.

ed down and run over by an automo-
bile while at play on the state high-
way in front of his home on Pine
street. The driver of the machine
was not to blame for the accident as
he did everything possible to avert
hitting the boy, but the latter became
bewildered and ran right in front of
the car. Fortunately a few slight
cuts and bruises were the extent of
his injuries and he was able to go
back to school on Wednesday.
Dr. W. U. Irwin on Tuesday
morning purchased from John G.
Munson the Munson residence on
north Allegheny street. Quite a num-
ber of people were after the house and
from all reports the bidding was al-
most equal to a public sale, though the
price paid has not been made public.
As soon as the sale became generally
known the doctor was besieged with
house hunters anxious to buy or lease
his present residence on Spring street.
The doctor and family will move into
their new home in the near future so
as to be right on hand to oversee some
repairs they intend making.
CENTRE COUNTY JURY
RETURNS BIG VERDICT.
Auto Show a Big Success
The fourth annual auto show held
New York Man Awarded $45,073.32 in the Bellefonte armory last week
Against Rowland Estate.
The second largest verdict ever re-
was a pronounced success in every
way. There were in the neighborhood
of sixteen hundred paid admissions
turned by a Centre county jury was during the four days and dealers re-
that awarded James H. Cullen, of New ; port about twenty actual sales with
York city, against the estate of the - dozens of good prospects in view. In
late Congressman Charles H. Row- | fact every dealer is confident this is
land, of Philipsburg, the exact sum going to be a good year for the sale
being $45,073.32. .
The case was heard last week be-
fore Judge Miles I. Potter, of Middle-
burg. It went on trial Monday morn-
ing and it was late Friday afternoon
when the verdict was returned. The
plaintiff was represented by M. Ward
Fleming, of Philipsburg, and N. B.
Spangler, of Bellefonte, while the at-
torneys for the defendant estate were
A. M. Liveright, of Clearfield, and ex-
Judge Ellis L. Orvis, of Bellefonte.
Concerned .in the defense were Mr.
Rowland’s widow, Mrs. Annie C. Row-
land; John E. Fryberger, of Philips-
burg, and Supt. J. K. Johnston, of Ty-
rone, administrators of the Rowland
estate.
The suit grew out of the sale by the
late Congressman Rowland, in 1917,
of the old Cartright mine, in Clearfield
county, to Mr. Cullen. The tract in-
cluded 200 acres of land, and accord-
ing to the plaintiff’s testimony, Mr.
Rowland guaranteed an outcrop or
stripping vein of the Moshannon coal
sufficient to yield from 150,000 to 200,-
000 tons of coal. At the time of the
deal Cullen was in the employ of the
United States government operating
a fleet of dredges in New York harbor.
He was badly in need of coal and
knowing this L. G. Rosenthal made a
scouting expedition to the Clearfield
region. He inspected the Cartright
mine then interviewed Congressman
Rowland relative to its purchase.
The latter agreed to sell him the
mine for $30,000, he to receive as his
commission all he could get over and
above that amount. Mr. Rosenthal
returned to New York and informed
Mr. Cullen that he had a coal mine for
him. Not knowing anything about
mines Mr. Cullen enlisted the services
of George Clitter, a coal broker to rep-
resent him in the deal. Mr. Rosenthal
placed the price of the mine to Mr.
Cullen at $36,000, and with a certified
check for $18,000 in his pocket Mr.
Clitter accompanied Mr. Rosenthal to
Philipsburg. They visited the Cart-
right mine and being assured by Con-
gressman Rowland that it was as rep-
resented Clitter closed the deal for
Mr. Cullen, giving Congressman Row-
land the certified check for $18,000
and notes to cover the balance of the
purchase money.
Machinery was installed and the
mine put in operation early in 1918,
but after taking out® 11,000 tons of
coal the armistice was declared, coal
prices took a tumble and operations
ceased at the Cartright mine. But the
coal mined was said to be not up to the
standard of Moshannon coal and some
of it had been condemned by govern-
ment inspectors. In the mean time
two of the notes given Congressman
Rowland had been paid off, or a total
of $28,000. With the mine not in op-
eration Mr. Cullen defaulted in the
payment of the last note and under a
sheriff’s attachment Mr. Rowland
seized the mine and machinery, the
latter estimated at a value of $5,000.
Mr. Cullen later endeavored to effect
a compromise settlement with Mr.
Rowland but failing to accomplish
any satisfactory settlement brought
an action in deceit to recover damag-
es, and the result was the big verdict
as given above.
So far as court records show this
was only the second action in deceit
ever tried in the Centre county courts,
the other one being about twenty-two
years ago when a man named Bitner
brought action against George W.
Gates, of Halfmoon township, to re-
cover for a team of horses purchased
from the latter, which were not at all
as represented. Attorney N. B.
Spangler represented Mr. Bitner and
won his case.
In the Cullen-Rowland case attor-
neys for the defense promptly made
a motion for a new trial, reasons to be
filed’ within the specified time requir-
ed by law.
The only other case heard last week
was that of P. R. Rupp against Dr. J.
V. Foster, of State College, to recover
an alleged balance for building the
doctor’s present residence in that
place. The jury awarded the plaintiff
a verdict of $957.10.

Needs a Little Uplift.
After reading Levi A. Miller's
Pleasant Gap items in last weck’s
“Watchman” a well known Bellefonte -
gentleman who signed himself “H.
G.,” sent him a postcard on the face
side of which was a picture of a man
in the act of buying a bottle from a
bootlegger while a big blue coat hov-
ered in the offing; also the inscrip-
tion:
“East side, west side
All around the block.
The bootlegger’s rushin’ business
At all hours of the clock.
On the address side of the card was
the following trite communication:
My Dear Comrade:
I enjoyed your P. G. article in the
“Watchman” last week in regard to
taking a “nip.” I agree with you that
when a man reaches the 80th mile-
stone in life he needs a little uplift.
But the rich have it and we poor dev-
ils have not the price. I am opposed
to prohibition and woman suffrage.
The First Telephone in Bellefonte.
In a remeniscent story on the com-
ing cf the telephone to Bellefonte we
stated last week that the Snow Shoe
Coal Co., had built the first line in the
county when it put telephones in sgr-
vice between its offices in Snow Shoe
and this place.
In a sense we were right, but for
the sake of exactness let it be said
that the line was not built for tele-
phone service. It was strung in 1868
as a telegraph line and Mr. Andrew
Cook, of this place, struck the key that
sent: the first dash or dot flashing
over the wire to signal the man at
Snow Shoe that the installation was
successfully completed. as
It was some years later that Mr.
Roads and Mr. Bailey, of Williams-
port, who were interested in the per-
fection of the telephone, then in its
experimental stage, seeking a long
wire over which it could be tried,
came to the Snow Shoe Co., and se-
cured the opportunity of experiment-
ing on its line from here to Snow
Shoe. That explains how the first
telephone came to Bellefonte and that
was really the beginning of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania Telephone Co., at
Williamsport, in the organization of
which Messrs. Roads and Bailey play-
ed such important roles.
Rev. Steely Returned to Bellefonte by
Conference.
Members of the United Evangelical
congregation and church people in
Bellefonte generally were gratified to
learn that the Rev. Reed O. Steely has
been returned to the pastorate of the
Bellefonte church by the annual con-
ference which convened at Milton on
March 5th and closed on Monday of
this week. Other re-appointments by
Bishop L. H. Sager, of LeMars, Iowa,
the presiding officer, were as follows:
State College, J. F. Hower.
Howard, F. F. Mayer.
Nittany, J. W. Zang.
Rebersburg, W. H. Warbutton.
Among the changes were the resig-
nation of Rev. C. I. Raffensperger as
presiding elder of the Williamsport
district, of which the Bellefonte church
is a part, and his assignment to a
York church. Rev. W. B. Cox, a for-
mer pastor of the Bellefonte church,
was appointed presiding elder of the
Williamsport district to succeed Rev.
Raffensperger.
J. F. Bingaman was transferred
from Centre Hall to the Cumberland
circuit and Floyd Huff was sent to
Centre Hall, it being his first appoint-
ment.

First church, Williamsport, the larg-
est and most influential in the confer-
ence, while A. D. Gramley was trans-
ferred from Williamsport to York.

sions next year at Jersey Shore.

Making Plans for Building Mountain
Road.
Members of the contracting firm of
the James & Nicholson Co. Ine., of
Johnstown, who have been awarded
legheny mountain from Runville to
plans for carrying on the work.
+ The building of this road will
- be a tedious job because of the fact
1 that there will be no possible way of
. establishing detours and the road can-
not be closed to traffic.
The road is to be built of reinforced
, concrete and the contract, it is said,
| specifies that only half the road shall
be poured at one time, thus leaving
the other half open to traffic. But
| the contractors hope to be able to
| mali temporary detours along con-
| siderable portions of the road over
| the mountain. As is well known, the
| present road is quite narrow in many
places and it will be necessary to dig
{ off the side of the mountain to make
| it the required width and it is believed
that ~the material thus obtained can
be used for a temporary fill at the
lower side of the road which can be
used as a detour while the concrete
is being poured.
| Another proposition the contractors
will have to deal with is the question
‘of water. This they will overcome
by laying a pipe line from the big
| spring near the top of the mountain
‘down this side to Runville, or as near
. there as necessary. Then a pump will
thave to be installed at the spring
| to pump the water to the top of the
{ mountain and as far on the way to
It will be
a big job, but of course the contract-
ors had figured it all out before sub-
mitting their bid.
Man Who Refused to Leave Jail Sent
Away on Monday.
Ordinarily men shun the county jail
as they would a pest house, and it is
only the natural instinct against re-
straint and being locked up, but sher-
iff Taylor has had the unique exper-
ience of having a prisoner in his
charge whom he had a hard time get-
ting rid of. In fact it was necessary
to buy him a railroad ticket, put hin
on the train and send him out of town
in order to get him off his boarding
list.
It will be remembered that on Feb-
ruary Tth the sheriff made a trip over
into Pennsvalley and took into cus-
tody a Swedish tramp by the name
of Christian Hanson on suspicion of
being the man who had been impli-
cated in a number of barn fires. He
was brought to the Centre county jail
and ten days later given a hearing
before Judge Dale. As there was no
evidence to connect him with the
burning of the barns the judge order-
ed his discharge. Said discharge was
miven the sheriff on February 27th
and that ended the county’s liability
for the prisoner’s keep.
But when the sheriff told Hanson
he could go he refused to do so. In
fact he would hide in un-occupied cells
whenever he saw the sheriff approach,
fearful lest he was to be turned out.
As the weather was bad at that time
the sheriff didn’t have the heart to
turn the man out, so he allowed him
to remain. But finally on Monday,
with the sun shining nice and warm,
the sheriff decided to get rid of his
prisoner and taking him to the rail-
road station bought him a ticket to
Williamsport, gave him a little
money and put him on the train, hop-
ing that he has seen the last of Han-
son.
Centre County Hospital News.

point a visiting committee and submit
reports to the board regularly. Mrs.

fonte Kiwanis club was held at the
Brockerhoff house on Tuesday noon.
The lunch given by Kiwanian Landsay
. was excellent and well served. Mrs.
Clark, who has been connected with
, the “Near East relief” since the war,
was a guest of the club and gave a
| very enlightening talk on the deplor-
able conditions as they now exist in
that country, and all who were for-
, tunate enough to be present appre-
ciate more than ever the great work
, that is being carried on by the Near
: East relief, and in view of this have
‘ pledged themselves to contribute more
freely through the regular sources
| than heretofore. Kiwanian Blair had
charge of the music and Russell is
i the boy that can make things lively.
. It is alleged that Kiwanian John Love
will again render a solo, entitled
i “Sweet Genevieve,” at the next lunch-
eon and those who miss it are passing
up a rare treat.
Head of Five Generations and Still
| Young.
Mrs. Anne Klinger Cox, one of the
most interesting characters among the
older residents of this community,
prides herself, and justly so, on being
probably the only person in Bellefonte
who is head of a family of five gener-
ations.
i Following her own comes that of
her son Jesse, of Reading; her grand-
son Charles, of Altoona; her great
grand-son Ralph Smith, of Bellefonte,
and her great-great grand-daughter,
Anne Louise Bottorf, of Bellefonte.
Mrs. Cox is in her -eighty-fourth
, year and quite as active and closely in
touch with current affairs as a person
| half her age. An exceptional charac-
ter and home-maker her greatest out-
| side interest has been in her church
| and the welfare of others, many of
| whom will carry through life loving
memories of the kindly ministrations
of this good woman.
