ONLY PETTY CASES TRIED
IN COURT THIS WEEK.
(Continued from page 8, Col. 3.)
liquor law violations and assault and
battery and another of the latter kind
was that against William Hockenber-
ry, of Nigh Bank. The prosecutor
was J. L. Devine, an installment col-
lector. In this case the jury return-
ed a verdict of guilty and placed one-
third of the costs on the prosecutor
and two-thirds on the defendant.
The village of Yarnell furnished
something different in the person of
seventeen year old Helen Walker, who
charged Lawrence Shawley with being
the father of her five week’s old child.
N. B. Spangler assisted district attor-
new Walker in the prosecution of the
case and S. D. Gettig conducted the
defense. Unfortunately for the cause
of the young girl the defense produc-
ed a letter written by her to the ac-
cused’s mother in which she declared
that Lawrence was not the author of
her trouble. The defense also present-
ed a witness who testified that she had
seen the girl in a compromising situa-
tion with another man. It took the
jury almost four hours to decide the
issue, but they finally returned a ver-
dict of not guilty but pay all the costs.
At Wednesday evening’s session of
court the case of illegal possession
against Frank Scabiccio, was heard.
Frank keeps a little store down at
Sunnyside and when his place was
raided by state police about a month
ago they found a quart of moonshine,
50 gallons of wine and 30 gallons of
raisin mash. The wine was not con-
fiscated but samples were taken for
analysis, which showed a fraction over
four per cent. of alcohol. Frank tes-
tified that he bought the moonshine
from “a man in the road” and made
the wine for the exclusive use of him-
self and ‘family. The jury returned
a verdict of guilty and Scabiccio was
sentenced to pay a fine of $250, costs
of proscution and imprisonment in
the county jail for not less than three
months nor more than six.
Two cases against the Bellefonte
Lodge of Moose were scheduled for
trial yesterday but the state police-
man who made the raid several
months ago was detained in Bedford
on a murder trial and could not get
here until today, and the cases may be
called up before the close of the court.
The case on trial when the “Watch-
man” went to press was that of the
Commonwealth vs. Salah A. Amed,
attempted rape and assault and bat-
tery. Prosecutor, Mrs. Mary Eliza-
beth Heaton. 4
A civil case to be heard this week
is that of the Bird Iron and Coal Co.,
vs. David Chambers, an action in tres-
pass. The case promises to be inter-
esting and closely contested.
Hudson Sedan Ruis “Amuck. hg
A Hudson sedan cut some wild ca-
pers in front of the Scenic in this
place Wednesday evening and before
it was gotten under control had treat-
ed a new Rollin coach rather rough
and knocked the back wheel off of R.
C. Blaney’s Buick. 6
The Hudson belonged to Edward
Green, of Howard. It was parked
head-out in front of the Electric Sup-
ply Co. Mrs. Green and another lady
underook to pilot it into the street,
but it must have been in gear when
she stepped on the starter and gave it
gas for, quick as a flash, it shot into
the street too rapidly for her to turn
into the traffic before she had collided
with the Rollin parked on the oppo-
site side and then, veering west,
knocked the rear wheel off the Blaney
car and headed for the Centre county
bank corner. Her car was going fully
twenty-five miles an hour down the
hill, apparently out of control, and
witnesses were horrified at the likeli-
hood of a smash-up against the bank
building. The driver recovered enough
to stop it, however, just as it ran up
onto the pavement of the bank prop-
erty.
The Rollin car was thrown clear
around against the curb. It had the
left rear fender erumpled up and the
run board damaged. It belonged to
the Rollin Motor Car Co., of Mt. Un-
ion, and had just been brought here
for delivery.
Mrs. Green's Hudson was only
slightly damaged.
Jumped! to Save Their Lives.
Driving a Dodge coupe, Cord. Bell,
of Clearfield, with Al. Rowe, connect-
ed with the American Lime and Stone
Co., in this place, ran onto the High
street crossing of the P. R. R. just as
Lehigh was running into the station,
Wednesday at 1:30, and escaped cer-
tain injury, possibly death, by jump-
ing just as the pilot of the engine
smashed into the side of the coupe.
The men had approached the eross-
ing very cautiously, the signal man
was there and the approaching train
in sight. Just why they attempted to
cross is inexplicable, unless they
thought they could follow another car
that got over just ahead of them. As
we have said the coupe was running
very slow. That probably accounts
for its engine stalling right on the
track. With the train almost on them
the men had presence of mind to jump
and cleared the rails just as their car
was struck.
The right side of the body was
caved in, both front wheels torn off, a
lamp broken and the right front fen-
der and run-board crumpled up like
pulp.

——Members of the Ku Klux Klan
from Belleefonte and other portions
of Centre county attended divine ser-
vices at the United Brethren church,
in Bellefonte, on Sunday evening. By
actual county there were 130 men in
hoods and robes and 70 women wearing
red capes in attendance. While this
was the first time the Kn Kluxers
have ever attended church in a body
in Bellefonte, they have held various
meetings here and now attract little
more interest than any other organi-
zation.

——Dewey Kunes; of Blanchard,
was arrested by sheriff Taylor this
week on the charge of starting a for-
est fire on timber lands near Holt’s
saw mill, in Union township, early
this spring. The information was fur-
nished by H. L. Harbeson, a fowéster
of Milroy. Kunes will be given a
hearing before Squire S. Kline Wood-
ring, of Bellefonte, today.

because of its unusual length.

——Mrs. H. K. Hoy quietly cele-
brated her 90th birthday anniversary
at the home of her son, Sinie Hoy, dé
Wednesday of this week. Notwith-
standing her four score and ten years
she still enjoys remarkably good
health and manifests unusual interest
in everything.
Farmers’ Field Day Lists Helpful
Hints,
Farmers interested in marketing
their vegetables, fruit, and eggs be-
side the road will find a model road-
side market at The Pennsylvania State
College, on farmers’ field day, Thurs-
day, June 18th, according to T. IL
Mairs, in charge of arrangements for
this red letter day. The horticultural
and marketing specialists are co-op-
erating in making this model market
one which will give all the pointers
needed in establishing one on a farm.
_ A grain grading, docking and clean-
img demonstration is another interest-
ing feature which always attracts at-
temtion of the farmers who desire to
put their grain on the market in the
best possible condition to secure the
, prices. Potato grading dem-
onstrations have also been planned for
the field day again this year.
Splicing ropes may be a lost art
with many in these modern times but
all who wish may restore it as far as
they themselves are concerned. W. R.
White, of the department of corres-
pondenee studies at the college, will
show how this useful piece of work is
done and also how the simple, prac-
tical rope knots are tied.
Besides these many useful demon-
strations there will be plots of strain
tests of red clover and sources of al-
falfa seed from which the latest
knowledge of good seed may be ob-
tained readily.

Approve Sparks Memorial -Plan.-
Trustees of The Pennsylvania State
College at a meeting last week accept-
ed gifts of the students and faculty
amounting to $5,000 for the Edwin
Erle Sparks memorial library in
American history, established in hon-
or of the former president of the Col-
lege. Approval of the project was
voiced by the trustees in resolutions
which they adopted.
It is planned to set aside $3,000 of
the fund as a foundation endowment
and to increase this to $10,000 through
additional contributions from alumni
and friends of the late Dr. Sparks.
For the purchase of American history
books to start the library collection
this year, $2,00C of the total subscrib-
ed has been set aside. Students and
faculty members have joined in a per-
manent organization to be known as
“The Edwin Erle Sparks Memorial
Association,” and the library memor-
ial will be conducted by its officers.
