They are used by the work- men on the big cell block to cut the tie wires on the concrete forms but three times now they have been used by prisoners to cut their way to lib- erty through the barbed wire stock- ade. Of course any other pair would be just as much of a weapon in the hands of prisoners seeking a means of escape, but it has just happened that in three instances the identical pair of nippers were used. A compensation case heard be- fore referee Jacob Snyder, in Altoo- na on Monday, was that of Miss Grace Heath, who is asking compensa- tion to the amount of $1,500 for the loss of the first joint of the index fin- ger on her left hand as the result of what she elaims was an injury sus- tained while at work as a waitress in the Colonial restaurant, Bellefonte, on May 28th, 1925. According to the claimant she hit ‘her finger against a table while scrubbing the floor, the finger became sore and had to be am- putated at the first joint. Mrs. John F. Marks was in Altoona on Monday as a witness at the hearing and her remembrance of the girl and her sore finger does not coincide with the story of Miss Heath. The referee reserved his decision. NEW JERSEY MEN COME TO GRIEF. One Now in Centre County Jail on Serious Charge. Last Friday morning two men in a sports Peerless roadster made their appearance at the Rockview peniten-. tiary and one of the men, who was promptly recognized by assistant dep- uty warden Clarence C. Rhoads as Thomas DeFloromo, a paroled prison- er, demanded to see three Italian pris- oners. One of the latter is serving time for having been implicated in a big bank robbery in the Smoky city. Being a prisoner on parole deputy Rhoads informed DeFloromo that he was not entitled to see any one. The latter not only become persistent but almost abusive and as a last resort ap- pealed to deputy warden W. J. Me- Farland. That official sustained his assistant’s refusal to permit a prison- er on parole to see other inmates and finally ordered DeFloromo and his companion, D. W. Welsh, off the pris- on grounds. The men left and came to Bellefonte registering at the Brockerhoff house. They went to their room and remained there most of the day. In the mean- time deputy warden McFarland, be- coming suspicious of the mission of the two men, came to Bellefonte and got into communication with chief of police Dukeman and Corp. Willard, of the state police. When the men came down from dinner on Friday evening the officers asked to see their license to the car they were driving. At the time neither one was able to produce a license and they were promptly placed under arrest and taken to jail. On being searched at the jail, how- ever, a legally executed driver's li- cense was found on the men, and they explained that they had borrowed the car from a friend in Patterson, N. J., to make the trip. They might have gotten off on that explanation but when the officers searched the car they found a half-pint of liquor, dice, cards and other equipment of a professional gambler, so that the men were held. They were permitted to communi- cate with a Patterson attorney, Mi- chael W. Stein, who, accompanied by Joseph Goloti, of Pittston, arrived in Bellefonte on Monday morning and at once got busy to get the two other men out of jail. In the meantime Rockview penitentiary authorities had lodged a detainer against DeFloromo for breaking his parole. At a hearing before justice of the peace S. Kline Woodring, on Monday afternoon, the men posted $1000 cash bail for the appearance of Welsh and DeFloromo at the September term of court to answer to the charge of the illegal transportation of liquor which resulted in Welsh’s discharge from jail, but DeFloromo will have to await the action of the parole board of the western penitentiary as to his release or return to prison. In the meantime: the $2,500 Peerless car is being held by Centre county officials and its final disposition will depend on the court’s order following the usual condemnation proceedings. But the exact reason for Floromo’s visit to Rockview to see three Italian prisoners has not been divulged. De- Floromo was originally sent to the eastern penitentiary from Philadel- phia, was transferred to Rockview and released on parole March 24th, 1924. Since that time he has been located in Patterson, N. J., and has been regular in his reports to the parole board. He was supposed to be making $150 a month but it is alleged that his bank book shows deposits of $4,300 in the past four months. In their brief but tempestous stay in Bellefonte all the men seemed flush with money, but a large part of it remained here. Sheriff Goes After Auto Tires and Captures Still in Operation. On Monday morning L. E. Tice, of Howard, operating a motor bus line between Bellefonte and Lock Haven, by way of the Bald Eagle valley, came to Bellefonte and made information against Fred Butler, a seventeen year old youth, son of Thomas Butler, who lives on a farm not far from Jackson- ville, charging him with the theft of two tires from his big bus. A search warrant was sworn out and later in the day sheriff E. R. Taylor and Cor- poral Willard, of the state police, ac- companied by deputy warden W. J. McFarland, of Rockview, went to Howard and failing to get any trace of the stolen tires at that place pro- ceeded to the Thomas Butler home, near Jacksonville. There they made a thorough search and while they didn’t find the tires they uncovered a moonshine still in full blast in an outhouse on the farm. The still had a capacity of twenty gallons and quite a quantity of moonshine was also found. The still and moonshine were confiscated, the mash destroyed and Thomas But- ler was arrested on the charge of op- erating the still while the son Fred was arrested on the charge of larceny of the two auto tires.. The young man informed the officers that he had tak- en the tires for his car but they wouldn’t fit, so had hidden one along the railroad and the other in the rear of Tice’s garage. The one along the railroad was recovered but some other individual had made way with the one hidden behind the garage. Father and son were brought to the Centre county jail but were later re- leased on bail, the father’s bond being placed at $1,000 and the son’s at $500, Se ————— ne ——— ——The Huntingdon fair will be held on September 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Shredded Wheat Distributors Charged with Stealing Truck. During most of last week two young men, William Callan and Dan- | iel Carlin, were making the rounds of Centre county in a Dodge truck dis- tributing sample packages of shred- ded wheat biscuit and other cereal products. They were in the employ of D. H. Sellman, of Lock Haven, owner of the truck. The truck was kept at Beezer’s garage and on Sun- day the young men took the truck and disappeared. Failing to return on Monday Mr. Sellman went before justice of the peace J. M. Keichline and swore out a warrant for their ar- rest, charging them with the larce- ny of the truck. The truck bears li- cense tags R-56,189, and officers are now on the hunt for Callan and Car- lin. The two men, still driving the truck, were caught at East Orange, N. Y., on Wednesday and will be brought back to Bellefonte to answer to the charge of stealing the truck. Valuable Deposit of Magnesia Lime- stone Found in Spruce Creek Valley. ¥ What is believed to be the most valuable deposit of dolomite, or mag- nesia limestone, in the entire State has been uncovered on the farm of W.

The mineral is used in the manufacture of steel, in making asbestos covering, chemical lime, med- icine and magnesia cement.

WAS JOHN GILL MURDERED? | Found Lying Along Railroad Track with Bad Wound on Head. John Gill, a well known blacksmith of Huston township, died at 8:15 o'clock last Friday morning, as the result of a crushed skull. He -was found early in the morning lying along the railroad track about ninety feet from his home with his skull crushed on the top of his head. He ‘| was carried home: and regained con- sciousness sufficient to ask for a drink of water and a chew of tobacco. When asked if he:had been hit by a passing train he replied in the nega- tive but it has not been definitely es- tablished that he understood the ques- tion as he almost immediately lapsed into unconsciousness and died shortly after. The fact that a number of residents of that locality had engaged in a drinking bout on Thursday evening led to a suspicion that Gill may have been beaten on the head and placed along side the railroad track, and as a result of the suspicion his brother, Edward Gill, and James Blakely were arrested on Friday evening and brought to the Centre county jail. In the absence of coroner W. R. Heaton, of Philipsburg, Drs. John P. Sebring and David Dale went to Julian on Friday afternoon made an autopsy and found the skull crushed, to the right of the top of the head, as if done by something with a sharp point as it was punctured clear into the i brain, a bit of which oozed out. Also, Ei to the left of the wound was a large cut. Dr. Sebring gave it as ‘his opinion that it was not a- case | of murder but an accident of some | character and the jury returned a ver- » dict that Gill came to his death as the result of a crushed skull sustained in a manner unknown. As the result of the jury’s finding Ed. Gill was releas- ed from jail. The unfortunate man was a son of George and Susan Gill and was about fifty-five years old. He never mar- ried but is survived by his aged fath- er and two brothers, Edward and Thomas, both of Huston township, and several sisters, one of whom, Miss Minnie, is at home. Funeral services were held at the Gill home at two o’clock on Sunday afternoon, burial being made at Mar- tha Furnace. Long Time Sentences for Escaped Prisoners. At a special session of court, last Saturday morning, Judge Dale clean- ed house of the recaptured escaped prisoners and what he gave them ought to be a warning to all the tem- porary sojourners at Rockview that it | doesn’t pay to try and reduce their original sentence by making a get- away. The percentage of prisoners who have escaped and not been re- captured is so small that the odds are too big. The first two men who faced the court were John Duane and “Dick” Richards, both of Lackawanna county. They are the two men who, after cut- ting through the wire stockade hid in a cornfield but were recaptured before they got off the prison grounds. They were charged with breaking only. At first the two men demurred against pleading guilty but they final- ly changed their minds and Duane was given from 4 to 10 years in the west- ern penitentiary and Richards 3 to 10. Earl Green, of Montgomery county, one of the five men who escaped on July 5th, and who was caught at Bridgeton, N. J., was given from 5 to 10 years. Henry Simpson, of Luzerne county, and John A. Sharp, of Phila- delphia, two of the men who escaped en August 4th, were each given 5 to 10 years and Robert McWilliams, the third man in the party, was given 4 to 8 years. Simpson, Sharp and McWil- liams were each given an additional year and a half to three years for stealing the car of head gardener B. Allen Rockwell, and using it in which to make their escape. All the men were taken to the western peniten- tiary in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The sentencing and return to the penitentiary of the above six men ac- counts for all but one of those who broke prison during the past two months. James Lee, of Philadelphia, one of the five who escaped on July 5th is still at large but it is only a question of time until he will likely be recaptured. Annual Pilgrimage to Old Buffalo Cross Roads Church. The annual pilgrimage to the old Buffalo Cross Roads Presbyterian church, four miles west of Lewisburg, will take place next Thursday, August 27th.

Everitt, of Lewisburg, and the Rev. William Finney, of Pottsgrove, who will present history of the struggles of the Scotch-Irish pioneers. At 2:30 p. m. Dr. W. T. Linn Keif- fer, a teacher in Lincoln University, and a son of the church, will preside. The address will be given by the pres- ent moderator of the Synod of Penn- sylvania, the Rev. Dr. A. P. Bittin- ger, of ‘Ambridge, whose topic will be “The Presbyterianism of Tomorrow.” Automobiles will meet trains at Vicks- burg. Basket lunch at noon. Vesper service at 6 o’clock.
