After Attempting to Rob Williams- burg Bank is Headed Off at Pine burg Bank is Headed Off at Pine Grove Mills. Ferguson township had its full measure of sensational excitement on Tuesday when it was invaded by a bold bank bandit who was on his way to parts unknown after an unsuccess- ful attempt to rob the bank in Wil- liamsburg, Blair county. He was traveling in a Hudson coupe, stolen up at Cresson, it is alleged, and at Pine Grove Mills was suddenly held up by an obstruction on the highway in the shape of the town’s postoffice, which was being moved from one side of the street to the other. Of course quite a crowd was on the street at the time and not anxious for so much company the man made haste to turn his car and back-track the way he came. Bluir county authorities knew the would-be robber was headed that way and had telephoned the number of the tags on the automobile and when the man turned around at Pine Grove Mills the car was promptly identified by the tags. Royal Kline, one of the expert marksmen of the village, ran into his home and grabbed his rifle, {and returning to the high d .of Porto Rico, acting as dean of the: ane Feming to the highway fire several shots after the fleeing car, puncturing one tire. | desperate, however, and kept on his way to Rock Springs, where the car took fire. Running down the road be- low the Mac. Fry farm he abandoned the ‘machine and struck for Tussey mountain. State police and a posse of citizens of Ferguson township search- ed the mountains until ten o’clock on Tuesday night but got no trace of him. But the arrest of the disciple of Jesse James was not long delayed, as he was captured at Colerain, Hunt- ingdon county, on Wednesday morn- ing, where he had spent the night in the John Carper barn. He proved to be a young man apparently twenty years old, but refused to give his name or place of residence, and stout- ly denied the fact that he was the would-be bank robber. However, two men who saw him jump out of the car and take to the mountain identified him as the same man and he was tak- en to the Hollidaysburg jail to answer to the charge of attempted bank rob- bery. The car was not greatly dam- aged by the fire and was towed to the Rock Springs garage for repairs. It bore two sets of license tags, but the one believed to be the right one is {numbered 391,585. Two men are i claiming the car but the rightful own. ‘er will probably be able to prove his “claim to it. According to the story coming out ‘of Blair county the man made his first appearance at the bank in Alexandria, wheré he asked for enough money to buy gasoline for his car. Being re- fused he drove to Water Street where he got five gallons of gas at the Waite garage, stating that he was going to would pay for it on his return. the man stepped into the Williams- burg bank. His face was covered with plasters and bandages, giving him the appearance of a badly injured ‘man, but this is now thought to have been his means of disguise. Stepping up to the window he placed a small blue bag on the shelf, pulled a gun and ordered cashier Frank Keller to fll ’er up,” | Just then Roy Patterson, a custom- ier, entered the bank and the man turned his head to see who was com- ing. On the instant Miss Emily Pat- _terson, a clerk inthe bank, darted from the directors’ room flourishing a revolver and at sight of the weapen ,the would-be robber lost his nerve and ran from the bank. Miss Pat- terson took one shot at him but miss- ed. The man jumped into his wait- | ing car and sped out of town. Going from Williamsburg to Shaffersville he made an attempt to rob a store there but was frightened away, then headed for Water Street. He failed to stop there, however, and pay his gas bill, but headed up the Juniata valley for Tyrone. From Tyrone he drove to Warriorsmark then into Centre coun- ty and his arrival at Pine Grove Mills was just about twelve o’clock. The capture of the man, on Wednesday morning will temporarily end his ca- reer as a bank bandit. U. B. Church Appointments. The eighty-seventh annual session ,of the Allegheny conference of the United Brethren church came to a clost at Latrobe on Sunday night with the announcement of the appointments by Bishop William M. Bell. Rev. J. A. Mills was returned to the Bellefonte church and other Centre county ap- pointments are: Houserville, G. O. Neff; Port Matilda, LeRoy Gulp; Run- ville, A. L. Barnett. Rev. C. W.

Next Week. {| The Bellefonte Y will put on its big membership drive next week. It will i start early Monday morning and close Thursday night. The slogan will be “500 in 4 days,” and the men who are backing the drive are hoping the limit will be easily reached. To make it a success, however, will mean a hearty response from the people of the town —boys, young men, men not so young, and women regardless of age. The number seems almost too low when the culture, refinement and ed- ucation of the people of Bellefonte and community are taken into consid- eration. It would be only natural for every one to be associated with such an organization as the Y. Bellefonte has never fallen down on contributing liberally to every worthy cause, and the local Y is all of that. It promotes a four-sided program— physical, mental, moral and social— in an endeavor to develop 100 per cent. men, women, boys and girls. Today some of the greatest men in the United States are standing behind the Y as they have never done before, because they have learned of the won- derful work the association is doing. The Kiwanis club of Bellefonte, is standing behind the Bellefonte Y in an effort to put the drive over, and they are determined to make the “500 part by becoming a member ? ——School teachers, reserve rooms for institute at Brockerhoff house. 38-3t The School Set off to College.

The Bellefonte Academy football team will open the 1925 season on ' Hughes field tomorrow afternoon, at’ 2:30 o'clock, when the crack U. S. army eleven from the Carlisle bar-' : racks will appear to try and lower the colors of the Academy eleven. The Carlisle team had a good record last year and are anxious to test their . merits with a team that was acknowl- ‘edged to be the champions of all pre- paratory schools for the season of 1924. It will be necessary to charge an admission fee of $1.00 because of the heavy expense entailed in bringing | the Carlisle lads here. Thousands of . people every year pay from $1.50 to ; $3.00 to see football games far less !interesting and thrilling than this ‘game promises to be. A record- | breaking crowd should be present to , see Capt. Hood, the famous forward passer, and his fellow warriors go after this opening game. Of course it will be a fierce contest, because the army boys are always playing togeth- er, which means team work, and they are ideally strong physically. No football fans can afford to miss this game. ——William S. Katz desires to an- nounce his fall opening of Millinery today and tomorrow.

At a Special Session Held by Judge Dale on Tuesday. At a special session of court, on Tuesday, Senator Fred W. Culbertson, of Lewistown, was admitted to prac- tice at the Centre county bar on mo- tion of S. D. Gettig Esq. The list of civil cases scheduled for trial at the September term of court. which will convene next week, was taken up, and attorneys representing the fifteen cases on the docket report- ed all of them ready to go to trial. District attorney Ivan Walker report- i bills of indictment to present to the | grand jury, but as none of them are of ‘a very serious character he hopes to get through in reasonable time. At that, it is evident that court will run into the second week. The district attorney then ealled up Delmer A. McCloskey, of Blanchard, charged with driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. The young man, eighteen years of age, plead guilty to the charge and was sentenced by Judge Dale to pay a fine of $200 and costs and stand com- mitted until the sentence is complied with. The fine and costs were prompt- ly paid by the young man’s father, . Harry McCloskey. ! John Pinchok, of Clarence, plead | guilty to the charge of failing to stop i following an automobile accident. In explanation he stated that while on his way from Moshannon to Clarence ' he met a car driven by a Mr. Gilmore. The latter crowded him to the right of the road and while he felt ‘a bump when he passed him he ‘thought it was his own car striking the curb. He stopped after going about two hundred yards, and Mr. Gil- more turned his car around and ran up to him, blaming him for the colli- sion. While he didn’t believe himself . at fault he paid for the repair of the ; Gilmore car. The court imposed a fine : of $200 and costs, which were paid by the young man’s father, George Pin- chok. | John Morrison, of Bellefonte, plead ! guilty to operating a motor car after ‘his drivers’ license had been revoked by the State Highway Department. The court fined him $100 and costs and to stand committed until the sen- ‘ tence is complied with. Curtis White, of Axe Mann, plead | guilty to a charge of adultery, David | Young prosecutor. Some four months ' ago Mr. White left his wife and two | children and went away with Mrs. | Young, remaining out of the county i about three months. He returned sev- | eral weeks ago and his wife forgave him his indiscretion and is willing to live with him in the future. Mrs. Young also returned and is now work- ing at State College. The court sus- pended sentence upon the payment of costs. The case against Carroll Stamm, of Linden Hall, charged with forgery, was next on the list. The young man, in company with Earl Horner and Glenn Corman, toek a motor trip to Millheim and while there Stamm at- tempted to pass a check for twenty- - five dollars in a store conducted by Boyd Musser. The latter became sus- | picious and refused to cash the check, , but retained it and discovering it to be a forgery had the three young men arrested. At a hearing before a jus- tice Stamm assumed all the blame and ; exonerated the other young men from ‘any knowledge of the forged instru- ment. Judge Dale deferred action in the case until he could hear the story of the prosecutor. | Thomas Butler, of Marion township, plead guilty to manufacturing and | possession of liquor and was sentenc- ‘ed to pay a fine of one dollar and un- | dergo imprisonment in the county jail than one year. Edward Gill, of Julian, was another man who plead guilty to manufactur- ing and illegal possession and was fined one dollar and sent to jail for six months to a year. John Fresko, Mike Tobac and Enre Piepko, all of Philipsburg, were charged with the illegal manufacture and possession of liquor and each one was sentenced to pay a fine of one dol- lar and spend three to six months in jail. Albert Earl and Edward Bearly, the two men arrested for running a moon- shine plant in the Seven mountains, were each fined $200 and costs, which they paid. Port Matilda Man Has Thrilling Experience. A. W. Kyler, of Port Matilda, had a thrilling experience and miraculous escape from death last Thursday morning. He is employed on the state highway job in that locality and was driving to work in an old Ford car. As the hour was quite early he did not anticipate any trains abroad on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad but as he got on the crossing the locomotive of an extra train, B. W. Johnson engineer, struck him broadside and carried the old Ford a distance of five hundred feet along the tracks before the train could be stopped. Naturally every person who saw the accident expected that Kyler had been killed outright, but when the train stopped’ he crawled from the wreckage of nis own car unhurt with the exception of a few slight cuts and bruises. The old Ford, however, was ruined beyond redemption. ————— ee. ——Governor Pinchot has named Friday, October 23rd, as fall Arbor day. ed that he would have about forty ' for not less than six months nor more .

We don’t recall just how many years ago it was that Walter, over night, changed his status as one of the best known and popular young men of Bellefonte to that bordering on a recluse, He couldn't have more effectually effaced himself had he taken orders and entered a monastery. As assistant to the late William H. Wilkinson, in China Hall, then Bellefonte’s most pretentious store of its kind, Walter was a star. His uncle Pat—grand old soul that he was— lived alone in the heart of the Seven mountains. As we have said, one day Walter was in the midst of everything, social, political and sporting that went on in Bellefonte, the next he had, without cause or neces- sity taken up his abode with his uncle in the solitary fastness of a mountain retreat that was then as far removed from the pleasures that had interested Walter as the poles are apart. Unusual as it was who is there to say that the change was not for the better? Occasionally now Walter comes back to visit the scenes and friends of his other life. He comes with a clear sparkle in his eyes, a physique showing every evidence of wholesome life and an expression void of a semblance of the wor- ry and welter that is all too evident in that of most of us who wonder why he traded such a life as we lead for one in God's clean, impressive solitude?
