Judge Dale Dispenses Justice in Court
on Saturday.
At a special session of court, on
Saturday morning, Edward Jackson
Thompson, of Philipsburg, was admit-
ted to practice at the bar of Centre
county. The motion to admit was
made by attorney George W. Zeigler,
of Philipsburg, and the same was sec-
onded by John Blanchard Esq. The
young disciple of Blackstone is a son
of A. C. Thompson, of Philipsburg,
and is a clean cut, determined looking
young gentleman, who gives every
promise of making a high mark in le-
gal practice in Centre county. The
young attorney, who was a student of
George W. Zeigler Esq., of Philips-
burg, will be associated with him in
practising his profession.
Following his admission district at-
torney Ivan Walker took up the case
of Florence Daughenbaugh, 17 years
old, of Philipsburg, who was commit-
ted to the county jail on August 10th,
on a summary conviction for incorri-
gibility. The court suspended sen-
tence on the girl agreeing to go to the
home of her mother in New Brighton,
Pa.
Fred Butler, sixteen years old, plead
guilty to the larceny of two tires from
L. E. Tice, of Howard, and the court
suspended sentence on the payment of
costs and restitution to Mr. Tice of
the value of the tires, a total of $i08.-
25, and payment was made before the
boy left the court room.
Clyde E. Long, of Howard, entered
a plea of guilty to operating an auto-
mobile while under the influence of
liquor and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $200 and costs. The costs and one-
half the fine were paid at once and he
was given thirty days in which to pay
the other half of the fine.
James Zerby, of Decker valley,
Gregg township, plead guilty to ille-
gal possession and manufacturing
liquor, but not the sale thereof. Mr.
Zerby was arrested on August 21st, by
state police and two gallons and a pint
of moonshine as well as a still were
confiscated. Mr. Zerby maintained
that he did not sell any of his product
but made it for his own use. On the
first count in the indictment the court
sentenced him to pay a fine of $300
and costs and imprisonment in the
county jail for a period of 3to 6
months. Sentence was suspended on
the second count.

Olden-Time Residents Picnic at Scotia.
Last Saturday was a big day for W.
H. Ghaner who, with his family, is
about all that is left of the one-time
thriving village of Scotia, in the Bar-
rens of Patton township. It was the
occasion of the annual reunion of the
olden-time residents and from far and
near they journeyed to the deserted
ore mines to mingle with the ghost of
the departed glory of the town that
had been their home when the mines
were operated by Andrew Carnegie,
gathered to his fathers some years
ago, and Dan Clemson was the com-
pany blacksmith.
Men and women, with their chil-
dren and grand-children, and accom-
panied by many friends came there
from every direction, over one thous-
and people fraternizing on the site of
the deserted town. The Citizens band,
of Ferguson township, brought music-
al echoes from the surrounding wood-
ed hillsides with their frequent rendi-
tions of popular selections. Among
the old-timers were Andrew Daugher-
ty, of Altoona, who was one of the
principal stand-bys of the Carnegie
company; A. L. Bennett, of New Jer-
sey, and Will Brown, of Huntingdon,
Dr. S. G. Coons, came over from Dry
Run, Bedford county, to take another
look over the place where he formerly
peddled pills, and Rev. Ray Williams,
who now fills the pulpit of the Metho-
dist church at Bedford, was on hand
to give the address of welcome. A
splendid talk was also made by Rev.
William Young, of Montgomery.
Following the big dinner the crowd
was entertained with a ball game by
the State College and Hecla Park
teams of the Centre County league.
To arrange for next year’s reunion the
following committee was appointed:
W. H. Ghaner, Scotia; J. A. Williams,
Altoona; F. L. Fields, Bellwood; B. H.
Parsons, State College, and Harry M.
Murtorff, Bellefonte.
Fish Eat Fish Was Proven Last
Thursday.
Quite a crowd of people stood on
the pavement opposite the City laun-
dry, on north Water street, last Thurs-
day afternoon, and watched a trout
swallow a sucker half its own size.
At least so it looked to those who saw
the beginning of the cannibalistic feat.
In appearance the trout was about
twenty inches in length and the suck-
er ten, the latter being as big around
as an ordinary man’s wrist. The trout
took him head first and it was a com-
paratively easy matter until he got
him about half down, and from that
on it was a struggle. But the trout
was game and completed the job, al-
though it took about an hour to com-
plete his meal.
The trout was of the California, or
brown species, and watching it get
away with that sucker last Thursday
we naturally concluded that small fish
have little chance for existence in a
stream so thickly populated with big
trout as is Spring creek within the
limits of Bellefonte.
More Changes.
James Craig has leased the apart-
ment in the Kurtz home on High
street, which Mrs. Decker and the
John Smith family will vacate to go
to the Cadillac apartments, moving
his family there from the Shugert
house on Linn street. The Deckers
and Smiths will take the apartment
which the Bud Eckenroth family will
leave to go to the Kalin house on
south Spring street, vacated by the
Forrest Ocker family, who have al-
ready moved to State College.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Casebeer
have rented the Daggett home on east
Linn street, intending to go there
from the Brockerhoff house the first
of October. Their lease is for the
winter only, as Mrs. Daggett expects
to return to Bellefonte the first of
April.

——J. Claude Dawson, of Philadel-
phia, who is visiting here with his
mother, Mrs. Harvey S. Griffith, sang
during the week before very appre-
ciative audiences at the Kiwanian din-
ner, Tuesday, before the schools at the
High school building, and at the Scen-
ic theatre, Wednesday evening. Mr.
Dawson has an unusually rich bari-
tone voice and sang with a poise and
style showing both good training and
an artistic temperament. His church
and other public singing in Philadel-
phia for several years, has been done
merely as a pastime.
Mr. and Mrs. John La Porte
Given have announced the marriage
of their daughter, Sarah Isabel, to Mr.
James Breckenridge Waller. The cer-
emony was performed at the Given
summer home at Manchester, Vt., on
Tuesday, September 1,
Many Tenters: at Grange Fair and
Encampment.
Every tent at the Grange fair and
encampment at Grange park, Centre
Hall, is occupied, principally by farm-
ers of Centre county and their fami-
lies who are spending the week at the
park. The fair opened on Saturday
and so far as exhibits, etc., are con-
cerned has been up to its reputation
of former years. Outside of the
campers the attendance has not been
up to standard, accounted for in a
measure by the condition of the road
over the mountain which, though open
for travel, is naturally not in the best
condition.
The fact that all the speakers ad-
vertised for the week were men and
women prominent in the Grange con-
fined the interest mainly to members
of that organization and may have
had the effect of attracting less inter-
est among the public in general. But
the farmers couldn’t have had finer
weather than they have had during
the week. The encampment will close
today. Following is a complete list of

John Rossinan’ Dies of Tetanus at
Coleville Home,
John Rossman, the 22-year old son
of James and Bertha Bachman Ross-
man, died at his parents home in Cole-
ville shortly before eleven o’clock last
Friday morning, of tetanus (lockjaw),
following ten days’ illness. The
young man was a member of Thoop B,
52nd machine gun batallion of Belle-
fonte, and on the 4th of July accom-
panied the troop to Lewistown for the
military parade of that town’s Old
Home week. While there he was
crushed between two horses and sus-
tained injuries to his side and hip,
which, though not serious, were pain-
ful and from which he never recover-
ed. The result was when the Troop
prepared for camp early in August
private Rossman felt such an over-
powering dread of going with it that
he took his father’s car and went over
to old Greenwood furnace, in the Sev-
en mountains, where he kept in seclu-
sion until after the troop had gone.
About three weeks ago his cousin,
William Rossman, went over to the
mountains on a motoreycle to bring
the young soldier home, but scarcely
had they started when the young sol-
dier’s right heel caught in the sprock-
et wheel of the moving motorcycle,
tearing away his shoe and some of the
flesh into the bone. His cousin ban-
daged the injured foot as good as he
could then brought him home, but in-
stead of healing the wound became in-
fected and tetanus finally developed,
his death resulting at the time above
stated.
In addition to his parents he is sur-
vived by one brother and a sister,
Paul and Dora, both at home. Rev.
J. A. Mills, of the United Brethren
church, had charge of the funeral
services which were held at the Ross-
man home at two o’clock on Monday
afternoon. Troop B attended in a
body and a military burial was made
in the Treziyulny cemetery.
Noah Weaver Killed in Auto Accident.
Noah Weaver, who lived along the
new state highway at the foot of Nit-
tany mountain, just north of Centre
Hali, was run down and almost in-
stantly killed by an automobile driver
by Glenn Tressler, son of Wesley
Tressler, of Linden Hall, last Thurs-
day afternoon.
Mr. Weaver had gone to the post-
office at Centre Hall to get his mail
and it so happened that the street at
that place was parked full of cars.
Intending to go across the street Mr.
Weaver walked out between two cars,
and intently reading his mail stepped
right in front of the car driven by Mr.
Tressler. He was knocked down and
run over, dying within two hours. He
was 59 years old and is survived by
his second wife but no children.
Rev. Huff, of the United Evangelic-
al church, had charge of the funeral
which was held on Saturday after-
noon, burial being made in the Centre
Hall cemetery.

President John M. Thomas Left State
College on Saturday.
After four years as the guiding
hand at the helm of The Pennsylva-
nia State College, Dr. John M. Thom-
as cleared his desk on Saturday and
quietly and without ceremony left for
his new field of labor as president of
Rutgers University, at New Bruns-
wick, N. J. Before leaving Dr. Thom-
as put the finishing touches to his an-
| nual report to the board of trustees,
which will be published as usual later
in the year.
A committee of the board of trus-
tees of the College composed of Judge
H. Walton Mitchell, president, of
Pittsburgh; Vance C. McCormick, of
Harrisburg; John F. Shields, of Phil-
adelphia; W. S. Wise, of Meadville,
and J. L. Hamill, of Columbus, Ohio,
charged with the duty of selecting a
new president for the College, held a
meeting at the institution on Friday
and consulted with Dr. Thomas rela-
tive to the type of man needed to car-
ry on the work at Penn State at its
present stage of development. The
committee, however, gave no indica-
tions of having in view the kind of
man desired and it may be months be-
fore a new president is selected.
In the meantime the administrative
work of the College will be in the
hands of a committee composed of
Judge Mitchell, Dean R. L. Watts,
Dean R. L. Sackett and Dean C. W.
Stoddart, with Ray H. Smith, the col-
lege comptroller, as secretary.
The College will open its seventy-
first year on Wednesday, September
16th, and registrar W. S. Hoffman has
announced that the quota of nine hun-
dred admissions in the Freshman class
has been filled. This is one hundred
less than admitted last year, the re-
duction being compulsory because of
2 larger percentage of upper classmen
returning to College this year than
ever before. All told the attendance
will be in the neighborhood of 3,500,
according to the figures of the regis-
trar. All Freshmen have been re-
quested to report at the College by
September 9th, a week in advance of
the opening day.
