Suid
ing Too Much Moonshine.
Paul McMahon, of Houtzdale, 39
years of age, died at Martha Furnace
last Friday morning, and the verdict
of the coroner’s jury ascribed as the
cause of death acute alcoholism.
Mahon went to Martha on Monday of
last week and got a job with the Mil-
ler Construction company, which has
the job of building one section of the
state highway through Bald Eagle
valley. He put up at the company
quite a number of the men housed at
that place engaged in a drinking bout.
Raw moonshine flowed quite freely
and according to all accounts a num-
ber of the men were, literally speak-
ing, paralyzed with drink. At five
o'clock on Friday morning McMahon
was alive but completely beyond all
comprehension as to his whereabouts.
He laid down on the floor, lapsed into
unconsciousness and died. Sheriff E.
R. Taylor was notified and he in turn
called Dr. W. R. Heaton, of Philips-
burg, coroner of Centre county. To-
gether they investigated the death of
McMahon but couldn’t find any indi-
cations of foul play, and the coroner’s
jury, composed of Joseph Shawver,
Roy Stiver, George Stiver and P. E.
Hicks, of Martha; R. T. Smith and J.
W. Smith, of Bellefonte, returned a
verdict of death from “acute alcohol-
ism.”
The fact will be recalled that sev-
eral weeks previous Jack Gill died
near Julian following a drinking bout
and in an effort to unearth the source
of the constant flow of moonshine into
the highway construction camps in
that section sheriff Taylor and state
police arrested five men and brought
them to the Centre county jail. They
were James J. McDonald, of Boston;
Patrick Nolan and John Bambo, an
Austrian, of Philipsburg; Wharton
Weller, of Martha, and Francis O’-
Rourke, of Pittsburgh. Several of the
men were considerably under the in-
fluence when they were brought to
jail and refused to divulge the source
of supply, but late Friday evening
four of them gave the name of the
man who has been supplying the
camps with moonshine.
Knights Templar Had Eventful Trip
to Philipsburg.
Members of Constance Commandery
No. 33, Knights Templar, of Belle-
fonte, who went to Philipsburg for the
district field day drill and exercises
last Thursday, had a rather eventful
trip. The most of them started on
their journey in “Miss Nittany,” the
Emerick Motor Bus company’s big
bus. They went to Warriorsmark and
crossed the Bald Eagle mountain to
- Bald Eagle to connect with the con-
crete highway to Sandy Ridge. When
they reached Bald Eagle the J. M.
Hutchinson highway gang had just
gotten their forms set to pour con-
. crete on the Bald Eagle highway and
demurred on leaving them cross the
, road, notwithstanding the fact that
they had failed to put up signs at
cither Warriorsmark or the Cross
Roads warning motorists that the
{road was closed. Finally, however,
they allowed the big bus to cross, but
i several individual cars that followed
Miss Nittany were not permitted to
cross and were compelled to return to
| Warriorsmark and go around by Ty-
rone.
i Of course this took time but when
' they finally got around to the Triangle
they found Miss Nittany stranded as
the result of burned out bearings. The
driver secured a bus from Tyrone to
| take his load of Knights on to Phil-
ipsburg, but by the time they reach-
ted there luncheon was over and the
‘parade had marched to Scott field.
The Knights got there in time, how-
ever, to take part in the drills and get
| their dinner in the evening. In the
| meantime J. T. Storch, manager of
‘the Emerick company, went to the
' Triangle and made repairs to Miss
Nittany so that the bus could be
used to bring the Knights home.
When “Near Beer” Was Really Near
Beer.
On Saturday evening, August 22nd,
two state policemen stopped the au-
tomobile of Arthur C. Thomas as that
gentleman was returning to his home
at Paradise from a trip to Philips-
burg. They made a search and found
eleven or twelve quart bottles which
Mr. Thomas averred were near beer.
The officers, however, were somewhat
skeptical and confiscated the bottled
goods. Bringing it to Bellefonte a
bottle was turned over to chemist Da-
vid Washburn for analysis and that
gentleman found that it was really
near beer, analyzing just 48-100 per
cent. of alcohol. Needless to say it
was returned to Mr. Thomas.
Ford Coupe Stolen.
Some time between one-thirty and
five o’clock on Wednesday morning
some unknown person stole the Ford
coupe of Charles E. Gates from in
front of Crider’s Exchange. Mr.
Gates is on night turn at the aviation
field this week and was in town on an
errand at 1:30 o’clock and at that time
his Ford was one of five or six stand-
ing in a row in front of the Exchange
building. When he returned home at
five o’clock in the morning it was
gone. The car is a 1922 model and
bears license tags No. B-13,487.

Rev. Dr. Schmidt Resigns His Belle-
fonte Pastorate.
At a meeting of the board of offi-
cers of St. John’s Reformed church, on
Monday evening, Rev. Dr. Ambrose
M. Schmidt submitted his resignation
to take effect on November 2nd. As
he had given no intimation of his in-
tentions and not a member of the
board anticipated such a contingency,
the doctor’s actions naturally took the
officers very much by surprise and
they asked for time for consideration.
Rev. Schmidt, however, informed them
that his action had been taken after
deep and complete consideration of
the matter, and that he had only the
kindliest feeling for his church and
congregation in tendering his resig-
nation.
Dr. Schmidt’s reason for making his
resignation effective November 2nd is
that that date will complete his twen-
ty-fourth year as pastor of the Belle-
fonte church. In that time he has seen
pastors come to and go from every
church in Bellefonte. Hardly a year
passed without one or more changes
but he stood through them all, the
dean of the ministry of Bellefonte. He
has baptized children, seen them grow |
to manhood and womanhood, has offi-
ciated at their marriage and baptized
their children. Of the twenty-seven
young men who went forth from the
Reformed church for service during
the world war twenty-four of them
had been baptized by him as children.
Dr. Schmidt will leave Bellefonte
without any other field of labor in
view. He and Mrs. Schmidt plan to
go to Washington to spend the winter
with Dr. Schmidt’s sisters, and if a
call to duty comes he will respond.
L. H. Wion Retires as Agent of At-
lantic Refining Company.
When he quit work at 5:30 o’clock
an Monday evening Longer H. Wion
completed twenty-five years’ service
as agent for the Atlantic Refining
company in Bellefonte and also went
onto the retired list. He has been
succeeded by Harry Ulrich, who has
been with the company a number of
years and has the knowledge and ex-
perience to carry on the business.
Coincident with Mr. Wion’s retire-
ment he was guest of honor of the oil
men in this district, which includes
Bellefonte, Coburn, Lock Haven and
Jersey Shore, at a dinner at the Inn
at Nittany, on Saturday evening. Sev-
enteen oil men were present. Arthur
Smith, of Lock Haven, superintendent
in charge of the district, presided and
when the inner man was satisfied pre-
sented Mr. Wion with a substantial
smoking set, including a box of cigars
and a jar of Prince Albert tobacco.
Mr. Wion contemplates taking
things a little easy from now until
spring when he expects to get into
something not too hard, but with suf-
ficient work connected with it to keep
him occupied. :
Big Bankrupt Sale of Shoes Starts
Today.
Mr. D. B. Fowler, of Williamsport,
has been in Bellefonte this week get-
ting everything in shape for his big
closing out sale of the bankrupt stock
of shoes in the Yeager shoe store, in
the Bush Arcade. The sale will start
this morning and will continue until
the stock is cleaned out. Every pair
of shoes has been marked at a price
that makes them a bargain, and this
offers a good opportunity to the peo-
ple of Centre county to lay in a sup-
ply of shoes for the winter season.
Mr. Fowler will have assisting him
during his big sale Mr. Wilbur Baney,
who for many years was Mr. Yeager’s
chief clerk, and this fact should appeal
to all old customers of the store, as
that gentleman will be able to supply
them with just what they have been
accustomed to wearing in the style
and make of shoes. Whether you are
in immediate need of shoes or not,
this bankrupt sale will be a money-
saving opportunity that no one should
let pass by.

De Floromo Turned Over to Peniten-
tiary Authorities.
Thomas De Floromo, of Patterson,
N. J., a paroled prisoner from the
western penitentiary, who became in-
volved in the toils of the law when he
came here on August 7th and demand-
ed to see three Italian prisoners at
Rockview, and was arrested for ille-
gal transportation of liquor, was turn-
ed over to the penitentiary authorities
at Rockview, last Friday, on a war-
rant charging him with the violation
of his parole. He was taken back to
Pittsburgh on Tuesday and will have
to complete his sentence which will
not expire until next March or April.

b Veteran Railroad Agent
Dies -at
Wheel of Automobile.
While on his way to the Granger
picnic at Centre Hall, yesterday morn-
ing, Walter L. Cook, for years Penn-
sylvania R. R. agent at Howard, col-
lapsed at the wheel of his automobile
and died before medical aid could
reach him. With his wife and daugh-
ter he had left Howard after having
‘had some difficulty in getting his car
started and reached a point in the gap
just beyond Huston when he was
stricken, but sudden as was the call
he apparently, by instinct, closed the
throttle of his machine and the car
stopped without leaving its tracks.
Dr. McCormick was hastily summoned
and gave it as his opinion that death
was caused by a heart attack.
Deceased was a son of Robert Cook
and was about 70 years of age. He is
survived by his widow, one daughter,
a brother, former sheriff Robert Cook,
and two sisters, Miss Alice, in Indian-
apolis, Ind., and Mrs. R. B. Long,
whose present whereabouts are un-
known. It might be interesting to the
public to know that Mr. Cook’s death
will bring to an end the Cook agency
| was established the agency has been
|in the Cook family.. He was a mem-
ber of the Christian church. Arrange-
| ments for the funeral had not been
1 made at this writing.
Prisoner Who Escaped in 1924 Cap-
| tured at Braddock.
John Adriana, of Allegheny county,
a prisoner who escaped from the
Rockview penitentiary on the night of
; April 19th, 1924, was caught at Brad-
dock on Monday of last week, where
"he was taken unawares by officers .
while visiting his brother. Adriana
i did not submit tamely to arrest and
the result is he was shot four or five
times before being captured, and was
then taken to the Braddock hospital
for treatment of his wounds, being
soon as he is able to stand the jour-
ney, which prison officials believe will
be some day this week, he will be
brought to Bellefonte for sentence
then returned to the penitentiary.
Adriana was sent up from Alleghe-
years for robbery, and had served only
a little over three months of his term
when he made his escape on April
19th, 1924. On that evening, under
cover of darkness, he and Charles
Henry ‘Wasser cut their way through
the wire stockade and took French
leave. Instead of making for the
mountains they walked to Bellefonte,
stole two raincoats from Oscar Ziin-
merman’s garage and then took a
Ford car standing in front of the
Decker Bros. garage on south Water
street. Going over the Seven moun-
tains the car was abandoned near
Reedsville for lack of gas. Wasser
was caught within a week but Adri-
ana escaped detection until last week.
Under the law his punishment for es-
caping will be a duplicate of his orig-
inal sentence, and as he had served
only a short period he has ahead of
him close to five years minimum, and
almost ten years maximum.
Adriana’s capture after almost sev-
enteen months of liberty ought to be
a warning to other inmates that the
road of escaping to permanent free-
dom is a rocky one to travel. Out of
more than one hundred and fifty pris-
oners who have escaped since Rock-
view penitentiary was started, only
twenty have not been recaptured and
brought back for sentence, but sev-
eral of that number are now doing
time in other places for crimes com-
mitted after their escape.
, Corporal Raymond Lingle’s Remains
Found in France.
The remains of Corporal Raymond
Powell Lingle, who was killed in ac-
tion in the battle of the Aisne-Marne,
France, on July 30th, 1918, have been
found, and advices received from the
War Department by relatives in Belle-
fonte state that they will be exhumed
and brought to the United States and
will be sent to Bellefonte for final
burial.
Corporal Lingle was a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Lingle,
of Bellefonte, but went forth to battle
for his country from DuBois, where
he was located at the outbreak of the
world war. In France he served as a
member of Company M, 110th infant-
ry. When the Germans made their
last fateful drive on the Aisne-Marne
late in July of 1918, United States
troops were thrown in to stem the
tide of advance. How well they suc-
ceeded is a matter of history, as the
onrush of the Germans was not only
checked but they were thrown back
with heavy losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners captured; and that was
the beginning of the end of the great
war.
Unfortunately many United States
soldiers made the supreme sacrifice
and among them was Corporal Lingle.
In fact he was the first soldier born
and raised in Bellefonte who was
killed in battle on French soil. He
was buried in the forest on the Aisne
river and although his grave was
marked it was not discovered until
quite recently. And now comes word
from the War Department that the
remains will be sent to Bellefonte for
interment. Just when they will reach
here is, of course, indefinite, but when
they do they will be buried with the
honors of war in the Lingle plot in
the Union cemetery.

and Pennsylvania. Their principal objec-
tive in New York was Watkins Glen and
all were feeling fine because they made the
tour by easy stages.
—The Misses Betty and Sara Stevenson,
U. 8. government nurses who have only re-
cently returned from service in the Phil-
ippines, have been assigned to duty in the
government hospital in Denver, Col. The
Misse; Stevenson are daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. George Stevenson, of Waddle, and
graduates of the Bellefonte hospital train-
ing school.
—A. H. Waring, of Philipsburg, was in
Bellefonte over Wednesday night having
come over here from spending the day with
his Grand Army comrades at the Granger's
picnic. Sixty-two years ago last month
Mr. Waring tramped through Bellefonte on
his way to the front. He was wounded
several times, once so severely that he was
sent to the hospital in Washington to die,
but he didn’t and yesterday, at 84, he look-
ed and acted like he had never known in-
jury or illness.
—A very pleasant caller at the “Watch-
man” office on Saturday was Mr. E. W.
Mayes, of Huntingdon, who with his wife
and five children were on a motor trip to
his old home at Clintondale, in Nittany
valley, where a family reunion was held on
Sunday. Mr. Mayes holds the responsible
position of assistant to head farmer KEl-
mer E. Beck, at the Huntingdon Reforma-
tory, and this fact is sufficient to justify
the assertion that he is a busy man from
the first day of January to the last of De-
cember.
Fixing the Status of a Deer Hunter.
The W. C. Shoemaker deer kill-
ing case from Ferguson township had
a further airing before ‘Squire S.
Kline Woodring, on Tuesday evening.
Additional evidence was taken and
the case then continued until two
o’clock tomorrow afternoon when ar-
gument will be made by S. D. Gettig
and John G. Love Esgqs. Mr. Shoe-
maker is a member of the Horse Head
Rod and Gun club and hunted with
that organization last fall. They
killed six deer but he did not get a
shot. Later he went out as a day
hunter and killed his deer and the
question at issue is whether he is
guilty of having broken the game
laws. - The proceeding against him is
an amicable one to test the law.
Community Nurse Begins Work.
Miss Anna McCauley, of Front Roy-
al, Virginia, arrived on Tuesday to be-
gin her work as community nurse.
The nursing service, after being in op-
eration for four years, was discontin-
ued in July, 1924, owing to the resig-
nation of Mrs. Pearl Meeker Hagan
and it should be a matter for congrat-
ulation to the community that it is to
be resumed. There will be a meeting
of the nursing committee next Mon-
day afternoon at 4 o’clock, in the W.
C. T. U. room, after which rules gov-
erning the new nursing service will
be made public.
——Earl Yarnell, son of ex-sheriff
George H. Yarnell, of Hecla, went to
work on Monday morning with the
general construction and maintenance
crew of the aerial mail service. This
crew works on the entire route be-
tween New York and Chicago, travels
in motor trucks and is entirely inde-
pendent of the maintenance men on
each division,

——J. Kennedy Johnston realizes
that his opponents are using the same
misleading methods as were used ten
years ago, but their conduct does not
alter his principles; he is opposed to
resorting to deception. The office of
Judge demands an honest candidate if
we are to elect an honest official.
