Ernest Sauers Killed at State College and Ralph Sweetwood Crushed by Oil Truck on Seven Mountains. Ernest Sauers, for a number of vears past chief electrician at The Pennsylvania State College, was elec- trocuted shortly after seven o’clock last Friday morning when he unthink- ingly took hold of a high tension wire carrying 2,200 volts of electricity. A connecting link was being made be- tween the lines of the Keystone Pow- er corporation and those of the col- lege plant, and at the request of col- lege authorities the Keystone Power turned on the current on Thursday evening. On Friday morning when Mr. Sauers went on duty he undertook to complete the connection made the previous day by covering the wires with insulation and tape. He threw the college switch and then, accord- ing to report, tested the wire and dis- covered it still alive. A few minutes later he took hold of the heavily charged wire and received the fatal shock. Several physicians worked an hout in an effort to resuscitate him, but in vain. The unfortunate man was a son of Henry A. and Malinda Sortman Sau- ers and was born at State College 42 years ago. He married Miss Bessie Tressler who survives with four chil- dren, Magdaline, Margarette, Louise and William. He also leaves the fol- lowing brothers and sisters: ley Sauers, of Altoona; George, of Philipsburg; H. W. and T. E., of State College; Mrs. George Pritchard, of 4 Philipsburg, and Mrs. Elizabeth Saun- ders, of Harrisburg. He was a member of the Methodist church and Rev. A. E. Mackey had charge of the funeral services which were held at 2:30 o’clock on Monday afternoon, burial being made in the Pine Hall cemetery. HOW SWEETWOOD MET HIS DEATH. Just about two hours after Mr. Sauers met his death at State College Ralph Sweetwood, of Potters Mills, attempted to jump on one of the big oiling trucks of the State High- way Department, slipped and fell to the ground, and was so badly crushed beneath its ponderous weight that he died at the Centre County hospital at. two o’clock the same afternoon. The young man was in the employ of the Highway Department, his fath- er, Edward Sweetwood, being foreman of the Seven Mountain division of the highway. They had started to oil that section of the road, beginning at the Sunset club and working this way. Sweetwood, with other workmen, had gone up the mountain in their own car as far as Locust bridge, in- tending to walk the remainder of the distance but the big oil truck coming along on its way from Centre Hall, the young men undertook to jump on and ride up. Missing his hold Sweet- wood fell to the ground and the rear wheel of the ponderous truck, which v.eighed thirteen tons, passed over his body, crushing one arm, his hips and abdomen and one leg. He was’ brought to the Centre County hos- pital as quickly as possible, but passed away at two o’clock. A son of Edward and Dora Weaver Sweetwood he was born at Potters Mills and would have been twenty-one years old on May 17th. In addition to his parents he is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Charles Caskey, of Lock Haven; El- sie, Homer, Naomi, Ray and Paul, all at home. Rev. C. E. Hazen, of the Methodist church, had charge of the funeral services which were held at ten o’clock on Monday morning, burial being made in the Sprucetown cemetery. ———————— eee. The William Chambers Home Badly ' Damaged by Fire. The very comfortable home of Wil- liam C. Chambers, on east Curtin street, Bellefonte, was badly damag- ed by fire, last Friday morning. The flames evidently originated from a spark on the roof and were discovered by children on their way to school who ran into the house and notified Mrs. Chambers. Mr. Chambers was at his work in the postoffice and he was no- tified and an alarm sent in but by the time the fire companies agrived the entire roof was ablaze. Mrs. Samuel Sheffer and Mrs. Cath- erine McClellan occupied rooms on the third floor and Mrs. Chambers noti- fied them and they immediately came down to the first floor, but they were unable to save anything. The house was three stories high. The first story is brick and the balance of frame construction. It was built by Andrew Curtin and was purchased from his heirs by Mr. Chambers eighteen years ago. The roof and the entire upper story were burned away, while most of the interior as well as the furnishings are considerably dam- aged by water. Mr. Chambers carried $4,000 insur- ance on the building which will not be sufficient to cover his loss. He and Mrs. Chambers are living in two rooms of their home in order to guard the property against intrusion, while their daughter Martha is staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Robb and Mrs. Sheffer and Mrs. McClellean are at the Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sheffer home. Mr. Chambers is planning to repair his house as quickly as possible. Sn ——— A ——————— . —A marriage license was grant- ed at Cumberland, Md., last week to John Meiford Horner and <Mabel Greenwood Gearhart, both of State College. J. Wes- | Owner Had Parked It. Recov- ered Yesterday at State College. About three o’clock last Friday zfternoon Van S. Jodon, superintend- ent of maintenance of the Bellefonte Central R. R., drove his new Moon touring car up to the curb in front of this office, left it standing there as has been his daily custom, and pro- ceeded to the offices of the company on the second floor of the “Watch- man” building. Less than an hour later he went to use his car and it was gone. Gone as completely as if the earth had swallowed it up. Not a sign of it anywhere on the street, nor in any other part of town. It scarcely seemed possible that in broad daylight, on one of the busiest spots in Bellefonte any one would steal a conspicuous looking car like Mr. Jodon’s but it was gone and hur- ried calls to police, garages and fill- ing stations on all roads leading out of town failed to reveal any trace of it further than that some people at Axe Mann thought they had seen a new Moon car passing there with one man in it. Gideon Payne, who was standing in front of the Beatty Motor Co’s place when Jodon parked, noticed him drive up. He said that Mr. Jodon had scarcely stopped when he noticed the car back out and start up High strect. | Of course he had no thought of its be- ing stolen, but his statement proves { that the person who took it must have been standing nearby when the own- er stopped and got out. And why he waited for this particular car when the curbs on both sides of the street were lined with others is a matter of mystery. z No further clue was found until Saturday afternoon when Steve Mat- tis, who lives on the John Haugh farm near Scotia saw a car drive out of the woods and into one of his fields. Ap- parently the driver was lost, but as Mattis started to offer help the car was turned about and headed back in- to the woods. Steve, thinking of the possibility of prisoners escaped from the pen, telephoned the chief of po- lice here. Sunday morning Dukeman, Jodon and several others went up and found the tracks. They corresponded exactly with the tracks of the tire on the stolen car and Mattis’ description of it convinced the men that it was the Moon. There the trail was lost. Later a woman at Gatesburg was positive she had seen a Moon car go through there and a little girl recalled that a short, heavy set man with smooth face and teeth noticeably gold-filled had stopped and offered her a ride in a car which she described perfectly as being the one they were after. The last trace was found at War- riorsmark, where late in the evening a Moon, occupied by one ’ i had stopped and taken gas at a filling sta- tion that had not been notified of the theft at the time the other in that place were. There was some thought that a pris- oner who had been discharged from the pen Saturday morning might have doesn’t tally at all with the man the little girl saw in it. S30 THE CAR RECOVERED AT STATE COLLEGE. About 1:30 o’clock yesterday morn- ing officer Mingle, of State College, noticed two men in a Moon car stop on the streets there. He went to in- vestigate, but both the occupants jumped and got away in the dark- ness. ; The car is standing in front of this office now, little damaged, but wonder- fully changed. Since last Friday the thief had painted it black. Evidently all of the clues mention- ed above were imagination. “Bagdad” Declared Best Picture Ever. Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in the marvelous Arabian Nights . tale, “The Thief of Bagdad,” at the Pas- time theatre State College, May 18, 19 and 20. It was, according to all accounts, the great good fortune of the screen, that Douglas Fairbanks came upon this amazingly romantic love story and that he undertook to make it into a photoplay. Moving picture critics, in such cities as “The Thief of Bagdad” has been shown, have been unanimous in asserting that it is the greatest film ever made. When it is considered that his story departs from the affairs of every-day life and soars off into dreamland; that there has been visualized and made real the soaring away of the Magic Carpet over the house-tops and into the sky; the Winged Horse, with the Thief galloping off to and through the clouds; the Magic Rope which the Thief throws into the air and climbs into the sky, up into all sorts of places—it will be seen that “The Thief of Bagdad” is no mere spectacle; no mere bringing together of crowds to appal the multitude. When a crowd or even an army is desired, the Thief simply takes a seed from a box, throws it on the ground, and lo! a huge army with banners springs from the earth. This sort of thing is the warp and woof of “The Thief of Bag- dad.” errs meneame eet ——Jack Tuylles, electrical engi- neer on the eastern division of the government airmail, is now in Belle- fonte for the purpose of installing and connecting up the lighting system at the new aviation field. As most of the fixtures are already in place it will probably take a week to make the con- nections and then the lights will be thoroughly tested out. TR | Thief Drove Off in Car Just After . "At Commencement Exercises of Cen- ! FIVE NURSES GRADUATE. tre County Hospital Training School on Tuesday Evening. Pearl Garbrick Clevenstine, Zion. Alma Miriam Detwiler, Smullton. Faye Gertrude Watson, Moshannon. Jane Adaline Keller, Madisonburg. Alta Myra Yarnell, Nigh Bank. The five young ladies mentioned above constituted the class of 1925 nurses who have completed their four ; year’s course in the Centre County hospital training school for nurses and were awarded their diplomas at the regular commencement exercises held in the court house on Tuesday even- ing. From personal observation we feel assured that each and every one is fully equipped and competeent to go forth from their alma mater, carry- ing care and comfort into the sick room and ministering to those afflict- ed and in distress. The judges’ platform had been very appropriately decorated with rhodo- dendron, huge sprays of blossoming dogwood and lilies of the valley, the class flowers. It was 8:30 o'clock when the class, preceded by members ‘of the hospital staff of physicians, the superintendent and assistant super- intendent, marched into the court house. They were followed by ten nurses and nurses in training, mem- bers of the board of trustees, members | of the nurses’ alumni association and the woman’s auxiliary. The class was seated on the platform. John Blanchard Esq., presided and follow- ing the invocation by Rev. Dr. Schmidt ~a ladies quartette composed of Mrs. Krader, Miss Esther Johnson, Mrs. Hazel Solt Emerick and Miss Rachel Shuey sang a medley of catchy songs, “being accompanied on the piano by taken the car, but in appearance he | ' Miss Madaline Sunday. In a brief talk Mr. Blanchard intro- duced the speaker of the occasion, Rev. William C. Thompson, of the Presbyterian church. He began his remarks by stating that the date for the exercises had been selected by the nurses because it was the 105th anni- versary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, to whom belonged the credit of establishing the first train- ing school for nurses and who elevat- ed the profession from a calling that had always been regarded with disre- pute to one of the highest respecta- bility and noble purposes. Following Rev. Thompson’s address Cecil Walker sang as a solo “Spring- time,” after which Mr. Blanchard con- ferred the diplomas and on behalf of the women’s auxiliary presented each of the graduates with the much covet- ed pin, the nurses badge of her profes- sion. Following the benediction by Dr. Schmidt doctors, nurses, members of the board of trustees and their many friends tendered the graduates an impromptu reception. THE NURSE. Who is the angel all in white Watching so kindly day and night! Who soothes our suffering and distress And moves with mother-tenderness! Why, that’s the nurse. Ministering angel! sweet and calm Her tender touch is like the balm, Or like the sunset after-glow Upon the sufferer’s aching brow, The kindly nurse. ‘Who shares with us our aches and pains And like a mother, ne’er complains! As from the love-born flowers she brings Healing and gladness on her wings Why, that’s the nurse. And like the Magdalene of old So constant with a heart of gold, She serves and watches to the end And tarries like a mother-friend; The faithful nurse. She sweetens service with a smile That we may sleep and rest awhile. Softly and silent like the dew She gives her life to comfort you, The constant nurse. I name her with the best there is, A lily—or a mother’s kiss, A ray of sunshine—or a star, 3 The Angel’s sister, and there you are, The cheerful nurse. - With tender care she watched our birth And when the fevers of the earth Burned on our brow, she came along And mixed her potions with a song The tender nurse. And she shall come with us at last ‘When all the pains and pangs are past To listen for the final breath And kindly close our eyes in death. God bless the nurse. —Rev. D. Pugh Griffiths. Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R. The annual meeting of the Belle- fonte Chapter D. A. R., for which Miss Janet Potter and Mrs. H. Laird Cur- tin were hostesses, was held at the home of Miss Potter, on west Linn street, Bellefonte, Thursday evening, May 7th. After the yearly reports had been presented by the officers and commit- tee chairmen, and delegates elected to the State conference to be held in Philadelphia next November, Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks gave a report of the continental congress held in Wash- ington in April, throwing light for the home constituency upon the business, social, educational, political (?) fea- tures of the 1925 session. Mrs. Sparks noted this year a free expression of opinion on the part of individuals—a feature surely commendatory of the incumbency of the President-General, Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, of Penn- sylvania. The further business of the meeting was the election of officers, a full list of which will be given after the con- stitution day meeting next September, following the summer recess. Preceding the social hour the chap- ter availed itself of the privilege of recommending the endorsement of Mrs. Edwin Erle Sparks for vice pres- ident-General in 1926.

These shows have become a fixture in Bellefonte and our good citizens look forward to them each passing year.
