HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE. iow sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country’s wishes blest! When spring with dewey fingers cold Returns to deck their hallowed mold, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than faney's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung: By unseen forms their dirge is sung; There Honor comes, a pilgrim gray, To bliss the turf that wrap their clay; And freedom shall awhile repair © To dwell, 4 weeping hermit, there. —By William Collins (1721-1759.) Kiwanis Entertain G. A. R. Veterans. The Kiwanis club, on Tuesday, en- tertained nine veterans of the Civil war in honor of their services to our country and as a .small part of the memorial observations of the current week. The special table for the old veterans was occupied by the follow- ing: William Colpetzer, Henry Tay- lor, James Reed, Daniel Eberhart, William Flack, Joseph Alters, Harvey Griffith, Rev. Emenhizer and Samuel Guisewhite. To pay tribute to their services and to bring a message of in- spiring patriotism Kiwanis secured Dr. James Yeager, of Lewistown, as speaker. The sustained and ringing applause testified that Dr. Yeager had stirred his audience as no recent speaker on any subject has done. Drawing from a fund of thought and knowledge gathered from. a life of usefulness and travel the speaker brought a vivid appeal to the patri- otic instincts of all citizens who heard him, The boys of ’61 were visibly af- fected by his refererices:to the strife which saved the Union, and their en- tertainers were made far more appre-. ciative of their heroism. Fenty Aside from the stirring address of Dr. Yeager several minor reports were heard and a motion heartily adopted to remember with a floral message Kiwanian “Bill” Emerick, now convalescing in the Clearfield hospital. CA The St. Columba’s Choir to Sing Here * Again.

Isenberg, of Boalsburg; R. J. Bower, of Tyrone; John R. Dunkle, of Altoona, and LeRoy Fox, of Lock Haven. The lat- ter is under indictment in the Centre county court on the charge of man- slaughter because a passenger he was carrying at the time he had an acci- dent. was killed on - the Nittany valley state highway, between Lamar and Nittany. His case was to have come up last week but was continued because his attorney was detained in Clinton county court, Terrific Rain and Thunder Storms Saturday Night. Snow Sunday Night. Torrid weather, the hottest of the year, prevailed last Saturday and it brought results in a series of terrific rain and thunder storms Saturday evening and night, which was follow- ed by colder weather on Sunday and a snow fall Sunday night. The first storm of any consequence was on Saturday afternoon about four o’clock, but it passed down Bald Eagle valley and did not reach Bellefonte. It was accompanied with hail in large quantity and of unusual size. In fact the hail stones were so large that two month’s old chickens caught out in the open in the vicinity of Runville were beaten to death. The men who are erecting the airmail searchlight tow- er on Parson’s mountain, this side of Snow Shoe, were driven to cover by the falling hailstones. Out at Snow Shoe the ground was covered with hail. ; Beginning at seven o’clock Saturday evening there was a succession of storms way into the night. About eight o'clock lightning struck the Cur- ry home, on Logan street, knocking a small hole in the roof, scattering soot fire to some clothing in the attic. The fire companies were called out and the flames quickly extinguished. A hole was knocked in a sewer on Bishop street, which was also credited to a bolt of lightning. The Keystone Power corporation and the telephone companies had trou- bles galore. Twice the lights went out in Bellefonte but the trouble was quickly found and remedied, but it busy until Monday. The telephone companies did not get their troubles all cleared: up-until early this week. Following the rain storms about two inches of snow fell on Sunday night, though it all disappeared early Monday morning. Long Drawn Out Case in Court This Week. A long drawn out case in court dur- ing the week was that of J. H. Rock- erfeller, receiver of the Bird Coal and Iron Co., vs. David Chambers, an action to recover alleged unpaid royalties for coal mined on the plain- tiff’s property in Snow Shoe town- ship. The plaintiff was represented by S. D. Gettig ‘Esq., of Bellefonte, and Fred Shaffer Esq., of Sunbury, while the defendant’s attorneys were Ellis L. Orvis and James C. Furst Esgs., of Bellefonte, - and A. M. Liveright Esq., of Clearfield. The case was replete with figures and legal tech- _nicalities. ... Mr. Chambers, it appeared from the evidence, leased the coal lands from B. W. Sleppy, son of the president of the Bird Coal and Iron Co., in 1913, for a minimun royalty payment of ‘three hundred - tons -a month.” He operated the mine until early in 1920 county court which resulted in the ap- pointment of J. H. Rockerfeller as receiver. At that time defendant claims to have made a settlement with B. W. Sleppy for all moneys due him on the lease, and the present case is the result of a claim by the re- ceiver that the money paid at that time was not in full for all coal mined and who brought action to recover a sum not to exceed $9,400. The case went on trial last Thurs- day afternoon and was not completed until yesterday. Up to the time the “Watchman” went to press yeesterday ‘afternoon the jury had not returned a verdict and there was no indication as to how soon it might do so. When the Watchman went to press last week the case on trial was that of the Commonwealth vs. Selah A. Amed, accused of attempted rape and assault and battery. Mrs. Mary Eliz- abeth Heaton, of Blanchard, was the prosecutor. It took the jury almost seven hours to reach a decision but they finally reeturned a virdict of not guilty, placing one-fourth of the costs on the prosecutor and three-fourths on the defendant.

It has equipment and paraphernalia valued at upward of three quarters of a million dollars, and over five hun- dred men, women and horses are car- ried.
