ONE DEAD, TWO HURT
IN BAD AUTO ACCIDENT.
Wet Roadway, Car Skidded, Entire
Party Somersaulted Into
Cornfield.
One young lady dead, a woman and
child injured so seriously that they
are now patients in the Centre County
hospital, is the result of an automo-
bile accident which overtook a party
from Coal Fork, West Virginia, be-
tween five and six o’clock on Monday
evening, while on their way to Jersey
Shore to visit relatives. The party
consisted of E. M. Crider, driver of
the car, an Oakland; Mrs. Richard
Carr and three children, Palmer Carr,
Marcine Carr and Audrey Carr; Mrs.
William Garrett, Miss Nellie Webb,
Mrs. Beulah Hall and son Cyril.
The party passed through Belle-
fonte about five o’clock going down
Nittany valley. At the William
Harshbarger farm between Hecla
and Hublersburg they ran up be-
hind a slow moving Ford car. The
driver, Mr. Crider, applied the brakes
to slow down, the roadway was wet
and slippery from a recent hard show-
er of rain, the car skidded, ran into
the fence, knocked down five new posts
recently planted then turned a double
somersault down into Mr. Harshber-
ger’s cornfield.
Passing automobilists witnessed the
accident and quickly went to the res-
cue of the unfortunate automobilists.
Most of them were imprisoned in
the wreckage of the car but they were
hastily released and while every one
in the party was more or less injured
the condition of three of them was re-
garded as serious. Charles R. Beatty,
who was among the party who releas-
ed the victims from their wrecked
car, brought Audrey Carr, four years
old, to the Centre County hospital,
while a telephone message to Belle-
fonte summoned the ambulance which
was sent down and brought up Mrs.
Garrett and Miss Webb.
Miss Webb was so badly hurt that
she died within an hour after being |
admitted to the hospital.
years of age.
Mrs. Garrett is still in the hospital.
While she has no bones broken she is
badly cut and bruised, is suffering
from shock and possible internal in-
juries.
The four year old child, Audrey
Carr, suffered a broken leg and nu-
merous cuts and bruises, but both are
expected to recover. All the other
members of the party were able to
leave the hospital after having their
injuries dressed and spent the night
at the Garman house.
The party were enroute to Jersey
Shore to visit Mrs. Carr's sister, Mrs.
R. L. Merritt and family. The body
of Miss Webb was taken to Jersey
Shore on Tuesday, where burial was
made yesterday.
She was 25
James Williams, of Millbrook, Badly
Hurt in Auto Accident.
James Williams, of Millbrook, mid-
way between Lemont and State Col-
lege, is in the Centre County hospital
with the bones of both legs broken as
a result of an automobile accident on
Saturday afternoon. Mr. Williams
and his son Carl were on their way
home from State College following
the first hard rain storm and naturally
took the new road over the hill at the
Thompson farm. :
Now it just happened that a service
truck from State College, towing a
wrecked car had stopped along the
highway. Going in the same diree-
tion was a Buick car but the driver
stopped before he reached the service |
truck towing the wrecked car. Chas-
ing the Buick from Lemont was an
unknown man in a Ford. Coming
from State College was John Stover
in his car and Mr. Williams and son
Carl in their car, the son being at the
wheel. When the Buick car stopped
to allow Stover and Williams to pass
the Ford car shot around it, but the
truck and wrecked car were in the
driver’s way and he attempted to pass
between them and Stover’s car. In
doing so he tore the left rear fender
off the Stover car and rammed the
Williams car almost on the side knock-
ing it over the steep bank down into
the Thompson meadow.
The Ford car was evidently little
damaged as the driver never stopped
but stepped on the gas and made a
get-away before any one thought to
get his license number. In the mean-
time Mr. Stover stopped his car and
with the driver of the Buick and the
men with the service truck hurried to
the aid of Mr. Williams and his son.
Both were pinned under the wreck of
their car but they were released as
quickly as possible. It was then as-
certained that both of Mr, Williams’
legs were broken and he was at once
brought to the Centre County hos-
pital. Strange as it may seem Carl
Williams, who was found lying under-
neath his father, suffered only a slight
bruise on his head.
At the hospital it was discovered
that Mr. Williams’ left leg was broken
above the knee and the right leg at
the knee, the latter fracture being
quite serious. So far there has been
no indication of internal injuries. Mr.
Williams is a man past fifty years of
age and a plasterer by occupation.
So far no trace has been found of the
man responsible for the accident.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. and
Mrs. Al, Grove were coming down the
Branch road and at a point near the
Centre Hills Country club Mr. Grove
turned out to pass another car when
his car skidded and turned over on its
side. Mrs. Grove sustained a slightly
bruised shoulder and hip but no ser-
ious injuries.
Philipsburg Boys Sent to Huntingdon
Reformatory.
Following a series of robberies
in Philipsburg officers on Friday ar-
rested three young men, Luther Ward
Wise, aged 20 years; Max Nelson 17,
and Robert Courson 15. Two of the
boys, Wise and Nelson, confessed to
having taken part in a number of rob-
beries and were committed to the Cen-
tre county jail on Saturday last.
Courson tock part in only one of the
burglarious feats and he was placed
under five hundred dollars bail for his
appearance at court, bond being fur-
nished.
At a special session of court on
Tuesday morning Wise and Nelson
plead guilty to four indictments of
breaking and entering, larceny and
robbery and both were sentenced to
indeterminate terms in the Hunting-
don reformatory. Robert Courson,
who was with the above boys on only
one occasion, was paroled in the cus-
tody of the probation officer for a per-
iod of three years and to whom he is
to report once a month.
Edward Brown and Albert Boob en-
tered pleas of guilty to stealing a mo-
tometer from the car of J. T. McCool,
of Georges valley, while it was parked
near the school house at Spring Mills.
Brown’s home is in Clearfield county
but he had been staying at the home
of his brother-in-law, at Spring Mills.
Boob’s home is at Woodward, but he
had been working at Spring Mills.
Having recovered his property Mr.
McCool stated that he was willing the
boys be given another chance to make
good, as this was their first offense,
and the court suspended sentence for
a period of three years upon the pay-
ment of the costs of the case.
Thomas Gerose, a Russian, was
brought before the court on the charge
of having stabbed Lewis Bellinatz,
during a drinking bout and card game
at Martha Furnace on July 26th. Both
men were members of the labor gang
employed on state road construction
in Bald Eagle valley. Bellinatz has
practically recovered from his knife
i thrusts. Gerosc plead guilty to ag-
gravated assault and battery and was
sentenced to imprisonment in the
western penitentiary for from one to
two years.
Taxi Driver John Davy Runs Over
Policeman to Avoid Hitting
Children.
Making a turn on an uptown cross-
ing, on Monday morning, taxi driver
John Davy ran over a policeman to
avoid hitting several small children
| who ran out onto the crossing, but the
policeman was one of the dummies at
i the triangle in the Diamond and aside
from being bent a little to one side it
was not seriously damaged. But Mr.
' Davy did not get off so easily, as the
l impact with the policeman broke the
i front spring in his car. Cal
{ Mr. Davy had driven up town from
{ the 9:40 a. m. train intending to turn
north on Allegheny street. Just as he
reached the crossing running from the
: postoffice to the First National bank
three small children ran out onto the
i crossing from the postoffice corner.
| With his eyes on them Mr. Davy fail-
"ed to notice that he was headed
! straight for the dummy policeman un-
til he crashed into it. He promptly
' reported to Burgess Walker.
Wm. McGowan at One Job Fifty-five
Years.
In announcing the proposed retire-
ment of Longer H. Wion, last week,
the “Watchman” stated that he had
held but two jobs in forty-six years,
and now along comes our good friend,
: William McGowan, of Roopsburg, who
maintains that he has had but one job
in fifty-five years. As a boy he learn-
ed the trade of a moulder with Wil-
liam P. Duncan & Co., when they were
located down where the Bellefonte
silk mill now stands. When Jenkins
& Lingle took over the foundry Mr.
McGowan went with it, literally speak-
ing, and when the foundry was moved
from its old location out into the old
car works plant he trailed along. In
fact he has been with the foundry ever
since he started as a boy to learn his
trade, and though the management
has changed five times in the past
three score years Mr. McGowan is
still there doing his work as a moul-
der and putting out just as good work
as he did in his palmier days.
Two Prisoners Caught in Attempted
Getaway.
John Duane, doing from four to ten
years for robbery, and Dick Richards,
doing from three to ten for the same
offense, both of Lackawanna county,
were frustrated in an attempted get-
away from the new western peniten-
tiary Monday afternoon.
The men cut through the stockade
and dodged into an adjoining corn
field. Officer Alabran, who had a
gang at work on another part of the
farm noticed the fleeing prisoners and
notified officers who immediately sur-
rounded the field, but it was an hour
or so before they were located hiding
in a fence row.
They will be brought here and sen-
tenced for attempted breaking prison
and sent back to the eastern peniten-
tiary, whence they came.

BOROUGH TO BUY
LAND NEAR SPRING.
Wedge-shaped Plot at South Side to
be Added to Spring Grounds.
A special meeting of Bellefonte bor-
ough council was held on Wednesday
evening to consider the proposition of
the Bellefonte Lumber company to
sell to the borough the wedge-shaped
plot of ground lying south of the
spring for the price of $3,000. The
plot in question is the ground on
which two old buildings now stand and
which for years has been an eye-sore
to the surroundings of the source of
the town’s water supply. The piece
offered to the borough has a frontage
on south Water street of approximate-
ly ninety feet, running from the pres-
ent line of the spring grounds around
to and including about eight feet of
the present driveway alongside of the
office. In the rear the plot will be
anywhere from ten to twenty feet in
width.
Seven members of council were
present at the meeting and they were
unanimously agreed that the purchase
should be made, hence passed a reso-
lution authorizing the Water com-
mittee to get the offer in writing and
present the same at next Monday
night’s meeting of borough council
when final action will be taken and
the purchase of the land ratified. Of
course the old buildings will be torn
away and the wall along the ‘street
will be extended the full length of the
property thus to be acquired, with a
concrete wall running back on the
southwest side to join the present
wall in the rear of the spring. The
new plot of ground will be leveled
and sodded, and beautified by the in-
stallation of a neat fountain and next
summer adorned with flower beds.
The improvement in the surround- |
ings of the big spring is only one rea-
son why the borough councilmen are
unanimously in favor of purchasing
the plot of ground in question. The
Bellefonte Lumber company has clear-
ed off a large part of its yard—in fact
all of it abutting on south Water
street between its present office build-
ing and the house on the west now oc-
cupied by Harry Dukeman and fami-
ly. Itis the intention of the company
to make building lots out of this piece
of ground, and will shortly begin the
work of erecting thereon three modern
houses for sale or rent.
Eventually they plan to move their
present office building and use all the
ground, up to the line of the plot of-
fered to the borough, for building pur-
poses. Had the borough not decided
to purchase the plot of ground de-
scribed in the beginning of this ar-
ticle it, also, would eventually have
been used in the same way.
While it is not generally known, yet
it is a fact that quite a number of the
feeders for the big spring come into
it from the front portion of the south
side, and it ought to be an easy mat-
ter to figure out what might happen
to the spring should some individual
get hold of that piece of ground, start
to build thereon and dig right into one
of the main sources of the spring’s
water supply. Not only that, but the
refuse from a house located so close
to the spring would naturally go down
into the ground, be carried by the
feeders into the spring and eventual-
ly contaminate the water.
To obviate any and all danger of
such eventuality was the influencing
argument in favor of purchasing the
ground in question when the present
opportunity arose.
Montgomery & Co’s Lewisburg Store
Burglarized.
The Lewisburg store of Montgom-
ery & Co. was burglarized, on Satur-
day night, by three Shamokin youths,
who hauled away clothing, etc., to the
value of approximately five hundred
dollars, but fortunately the youthful
robbers were caught five hours later
with their loot intact and practically
all the goods were recovered.
The young men who pulled the trick
are Sidney Elsingham, John Tyson
and John Dushon, all about eighteen
years of age, and members of the
gang who recently stole the car of a
New York traveling salesman and
abandoned it at Herndon, escaping
punishment for that crime by settling
with the owner of the car.
The youths broke into the Mont-
gomery store along about midnight,
Saturday night and selecting suits,
overcoats and various articles of
clothing, such as appealed to their fan-
cy, piled up the loot near the door.
They were seen at work by a resident
of Lewisburg, who notified the police
but before the officer could reach the
building the young men had taken out
their plunder, dumped it into a stolen
car and made a get-away. Five hours
later they were caught as they were
driving into SHamokin.

good strip down this side, the mixer is in
position and that the moment the forms
arrive pouring will be started. As a mat-

put through quickly. ;
