The Centre county association
of Philadelphia will hold its annual
basket picnic at Belmont Mansion pla-
teau, Fairmount park, on Saturday,
June 20. Every Centre -countian,
whether resident of Philadelphia or
not, is invited.
The friends of Mr. A. Y. Wag-
ner, of this place, will be delighted to
hear that his condition yesterday was
reported somewhat improved. Mr.
Wagner suffered a break down about
a week ago and being one of the old-
er men of the town, an octogenarian
and more, his friends were rather con-
cerned as to its possible effects.
Among the official appoint-
ments made at the annual convention
of the Knight Templars, at Harris-
burg last week, was that of M. Ward
Fleming, of Philipsburg, to the post
of grand herald on the staff of Sir
Thomas Shipley, of York, elected em-
inent grand commander. Boyd A.
Musser, of Scranton, was elevated to
the position of eminent grand gener-
alissimo.
Now that school days are over
the kiddies will have more time to at-
tend movie shows, and the best place
to go is the Scenic. Manager T. Clay-
ton Brown is especially careful in the
selection of his programs, and every
picture shown there can be viewed by
young and. old alike. Warm weather
need not keep any one away as the
Scenic has the best of ventilation and
cooling fans.
The Pennsylvania Bar associa-
tion will hold its annual meeting at
Bedford Springs June 23rd to 25th, in-
clusive. Hon. George E. Alter, cof
Pittsburgh, president of the associa-

ing address. A number of important
questions will be submitted to the
meeting for discussion. A number of
Centre county attorneys make it a
point to attend every meeting of the
association.
A terrific rain storm swept over
portions of Centre county on Tuesday
afternoon, it being especially severe
out in the vicinity of Axe Mann. Dur-
ing the progress of the storm light-
ning struck the cupola of a barn near
the warden’s residence at the Rock-
view penitentiary and started a fire
inside the building. The Undines re-
sponded to a call for assistance and
the flames were extinguished without
doing much damage.
The first bill car for Main’s
circus will be in Bellefonte tomorrow
and by evening every available space
in Bellefonte and the surrounding
country will be plastered with the
glaring bills announcing the shows
appearance in Bellefonte on Saturday,
June 20th. It might be of interest to
the public generally to know that the
show this year will be given on the
Witmer field, on east Bishop street,
and not on the old fair grounds as in
former years.
——The Highway Department last
week erected a sign at the mill of C.
Y. Wagner & Co., instructing tourists
to take the road up Buffalo Run valley
for Tyrone and Philipsburg. A num-
ber of Bellefonte hotel proprietors and
business men are of the opinion that
the sign will work injury to Bellefonte
in a business way, as motorists are
thus directed to go through the out-
skirts of the town and do not get into
the business section. It is barely pos-
sible that a few motorists might do
so, but the average car driver will
naturally come into Bellefonte, even
if he makes but a brief stop.
School life evidently becoming
irksome to two Bellefonte Academy
students, Frederick Williams, of
Westfield, N. J., and John Hutchinson,
of Altoona, they left the Academy
two weeks ago and are now enroute
ta the Pacific coast on a motor-cycle.
The boys left Bellefonte the night of
the Academy minstrels, and took with
them only light luggage so far as
clothing was concerned. Before leav-
ing they told some of their fellow stu-
dents that they were going on a trip
to the western coast, but the story
was hardly credited and it was the
general belief that the boys would
return in a few days. During the
week cards were received from them
mailed at Chicago, so they are evi-
dently on their way and still heading
for the Golden Gate.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
A CLASS OF FORTY-FIVE.
Interesting Exercises Characterize
the Forty-Second Annual
Commencement.
Just forty-five young men and womn-
en graduated and were awarded their
diplomas at the forty-second annual
commencement of the Bellefonte High
school this week. The exercises inci-
dent thereto began orn Sunday even-
ing, in the Presbyterian church, when
Rev. Dr. A. M. Schmidt preached the
baccalaureate sermon to the graduat-
ing class. The church was well filled
with friends of the young graduates
and the subject discussed by Dr.
Schmidt had been selected and was
discussed with an eye single to the
welfare of the graduates.
The annual declamatory contest for
the Reynolds prizes was held on Mon-
day evening, the ten contestants hav-
ing been announced in last week’s pa-
per. The judges awarded the prizes
to Ruth Miller and Fred Fisher, with
honorable mention for Donald Mal-
lory and Marie Chandler.
On Tuesday morning the pupils of
the grade schools introduced an inno-
vation in the shape of an outdoor pa-
geant on the High school grounds.
Several hundred pupils took part and
it was the great, outstanding event of
the week.
On Tuesday evening students of the
High school presented the play, “Once
in a Blue Moon,” in the High school
auditorium. A crowded house greet-
ed the amateur actors and actresses,
all of whom carried their parts in a
most commendable manner.
Many people visited the High school
building on Wednesday to take a look
at the handiwork of the students in
manual arts and the home economic
courses. While the display was prob-
ably not as elaborate as in former
years it was sufficient to show that
the boys and girls are being taught
useful occupations in addition to read-
ing, ’riting and ’rithmetic.
The commencement exercises prop-
er were held on Wednesday evening
in the High school auditorium, which
was crowded to capacity. The com-
mencement address was delivered by
Jonas E. Wagner, of Harrisburg, a
former superintendent of the Belle-
fonte schools, and being back in his
old environment he talked from the
heart and gave the young graduates
plenty of good, wholesome advice.

Bellefonte school board presented the:

Better Than a Picture Card.
The first time we heard from Char-
ley Keichline, after his arrival in
Florida, the greeting came on a high-
ly artistic card portraying a box of
luscious looking oranges and bearing
the inscription “This is the box of
Florida oranges I promised to send
you.”
That was some joke. All our life
we have been fooling round with pa-
per. We've learned to do about every-
thing that can be done to and with it
except eat the stuff. That’s the rea-
son we received no gustatorical satis-
faction from Charley’s postcard. We
couldn’t eat the paper oranges.
Last week, however, another mes-
sage came. It was written on a whole
cocoanut, the real thing in the origi-
nal husk, and when we sit down to eat
the cake that it’s going to be baked
into we fancy we’ll be so happy that
Charley is in Florida that we’ll lose
all the regret we felt when we first
learned that he was going to leave
Bellefonte.

CHICKEN THIEVES ARRESTED.
Lock Haven Men Did Thriving Busi-
ness on Centre County Hen
Roosts.
with the arrest in Lock Haven, last
Sunday morning, by sheriff E. R. Tay-
lor, of Bellefonte, of Palmer Hetzel
and Bert Swan, on the charge of steal-
ing chickens, and according to the
; confession made in court, on Monday,
‘by the latter, the men have stolen
i hundreds, perhaps thousands of chick-
"ens in Centre and Clinton counties.
| Their nefarious work was not con-
fined to hen roosts, as smoke houses
were also coveted prey for their ille-
gal expeditions.
For weeks past complaints have
been coming into the sheriff’s office
about chickens being stolen in differ-
ent sections of the county, but no one
Seamed able to get a trace of the
thieves. Last Wednesday night the
hennery of George Heckman, in Pot-
ter township, was robbed of 72 Rhode
Island red chickens, and on Thursday
, night a raid was made through Buffa-
‘lo Run and Halfmoon valley. W. G.
Furst lost 47 chickens and G. H. Rice
, and up in Halfmoon township G. J.
| Beck had 62 chickens, 6 hams, 5
shoulders and 4 pieces of side meat
‘stolen. Down in the lower end of
: Nittany valley R. S. Neill had 40
' chickens and a lot of meat stolen one
night last weeek.
With this information to work on
‘ Sheriff Taylor went over to Pennsval-
ley the latter part of the week and
starting at the George Heckman home
went on the hunt of a trail that might
lead to the discovery of the thieves.
_ Finally, down at Livonia, at the Wolf
garage, he learned that three men
‘with a Ford truck loaded with crated
| chickens, had stopped there at 4.30
i o'clock on Thursday morning for gas.
From Mr. Wolf he obtained a fairly
good description of the men, and go-
ing to Lock Haven he did a little Old
* Sleuth work. The result was he soon
got on the trail of three men, Palmer
Hetzel, Raymond Garis and Bert
Swan, who according to all accounts,
were doing a land office business in
chickens. Information obtained by
the sheriff showed that last week they
made five trips to South Williamsport,
taking down an average of 150 chick-
ens a trip as well as a quantity of
smoked meats.
With this information as a basis to
work on Mr. Heckman swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the three
men and sheriff Taylor went to Lock
Haven Sunday morning and nabbed
i Hetzel and Swan but Garis got away.
. Swan denies having taken any part in
| the actual theft of the chickens, but
; admitted that he was employed by
, the other two men to go along and
! keep watch, for which he was payed
$3.50 a night. He stated that practic-
ally all the chickens and meat stolen
were sold in South Williamsport, the
chickens for 19 cents a pound, at
which price there was always a ready
market.
At a special session of court, on
Wednesday afternoon, Hetzel plead
guilty to breaking and entering, and
larceny, but in reply to questions by
the court maintained that Raymond
Garis was the head of the chicken
stealing gang and that the only trip
he made with him was the one last
week over to the Heckman farm in
Potter township. At that time, he
declared, he did not help steal the
chickens but remained with the truck
as watcher while Garis and Swan stole
the fowls. The court evidently didn’t
put much confidence in Hetzel’s story
as he pronounced sentence upon both
counts in the indictment, giving him
from three to six years in the peni-
tentiary.
Bert Swan, the youth who told of
the depredations of the chicken
thieves and admitted having gone
along in the capacity of hired watch-
er, was given an indeterminate sen-
tence in the Huntingdon reformatory,
as he is not quite twenty-one years of
age.
Dennis Bambau, who last November
stole Domer Ishler’s car from where
it was parked on Spring street, Belle-
fonte, plead guilty to the charge and
was sentenced to not less than three
nor more than six years in the west-
ern penitentiary.
Reber—Garbrick.—A very pretty
wedding was solemnized at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Garbrick, at
Coleville, Wednesday morning, when
their daughter, Miss Alice, became the
bride of Paul Reber. The beautiful
ring ceremony was used. Miss Lillian
Garbrick, of State College, a cousin of
the bride, was bridesmaid and Gilbert
Nolan, of State College, was best man.
Rev. J. Alvin Reber, of Doylestown,
the groom’s father, performed the cer-
emony.
After a wedding breakfast the
young couple left on a honeymoon
trip to Niagara Falls, Buffalo and
parts of Canada. Mrs. Reber is a
graduate of Bellefonte High school
and Mr. Reber is a graduate of State
College and employed at the Titan
metal works.
Registration for Kiddies Day.
All children expecting to attend the
Elk’s kiddies day picnic are required
to register their names and address
with George W. Rees, on or before
Saturday, June 13th.
This registration will open Satur-
day, June 6th, at 9 a. m., at the Elk’s
club, where Mr. Rees will welcome
you one and all. The list closes Sat-
urday, June 13th, so be sure and re-
port before that time.
The wholesale robbery of hen roosts
in Centre county will probably end
i and his wife, of Altoona.

Mrs. Elizabeth MeC. Scott, Miss Virginia |
McCurdy, Mrs. David Dale and Charles M. :
McCurdy, will attend a school reunion of
special interest, which will be held in Get-
tysburg on June Sth. For many years
Miss Mary McClellan conducted a private
school in Gettysburg which was, in many
ways, a counterpart of the Miss Petrikin
school here. Many of her pupils grew to
be fathers and mothers and their children
in turn received their primary education
from her. Ten years ago Miss Virginia
McCurdy arranged a reunion which was
largely attended and proved of much in-
terest. This year Miss McClellan's widely
scattered pupils will again meet and gath-
er together in the quaint little old school
house, built many years ago, and which is
still used as a primary school.
—It's not often that a person makes a
thirty-six mile trip just to pay a trifling
little subscription bill, yet that is exactly
what W. W. Keller, of Pittsburgh, did on
Tuesday afternoon. Of course the oppor-
tunity of a motor ride with good company
may have had something to do with it—
we opine it had a lot. Mr. Keller has for
years been in the postal service in Pitts-
burgh, but as his mother is still living at
their old home at Pine Grove Mills, he took
the first chance he has had in three years
to be with her for a few days. This vis-
it began last Friday and will end with his
return to duty tomorrow. Tuesday his
brother-in-law, George Koch, was coming
to Bellefonte on business and so Will said:
“the only excuse I had for coming down
was to pay for my “Watchman” so I just
got on the truck and came along.
—Will Hunter, well known here thirty
years ago, was an arrival from Oakland,
Cal., last Thursday and was a guest at the
Bush house until Tuesday when he left for
Pittsburgh where his mother and two sis-
ters have been living since leaving Belle-
fonte. The only living representative of
the family once so prominent in this com-
munity still here is his uncle, the vener-
able Frank Hunter, of Axe Mann. Will
left here as a young man for New York.
He remained in that city a few years then
located in Pittsburgh and went to Califor-
nia right after the earthquake,
been doing well on the coast and expects
to remain there the rest of his life. fre-
quently he sees Bellefonters who are lo-
cated there and seems to keep in close
touch with them, especially Paul Stern-
berg, whom many of our readers will re-
member,
