BELLEFONTE MOOSE FINED

Many Cases Disposed of at Regular
Court Session This Week.
The regular September session of
court convened on Monday morning
with Judge Miles I. Potter, of the Sny-
der-Union county judicial district, pre-
siding in place of Judge Dale. Judge
Potter is no stranger in Bellefonte as
he was on the bench during the second
week of court last Februray. In order
to facilitate court business he had the
grand jury polled the first thing after
convening. ’Squire E. H. Auman, of
Pine Grove Mills, was appointed fore-
man and after charging the jury as to
its duties it retired to deliberate on
the presentments prepared by the dis-
trict attorney. :
The court then disposed of various
petitions presented and the list of
traverse jurors was called and excus-
es noted. The court then announced
that he would hear and dispose of ali
pleas of guilty.
Henry Nevel plead guilty to being
the father of an illegitimate child
and was sentenced to pay a fine of
$25, costs and $3 a week for the sup-
port of the child.
I. G. Hall, of Snow Shoe, plead
guilty to operating gambling devices
and was fined $50 and costs.
Frank Tomazak, of Benner town-
ship, plead guilty to the charge of il-
legal possession and selling intoxicat-
ing liquors, and was sentenced to pay
a fine of $100 and undergo imprison-
ment in the county jail for a period of
two months.
Martin Rachau, of Clarence, plead
guilty to illegal manufacture and pos-
session of liquor. When arrested
state police found in his possession a
thirty gallon still, two gallons and a
half of moonshine and two barrels of
mash. He was fined $200 and sent to
jail for six months.
Andy Kosko, of Rush township,
plead guilty to illegal possession and
was fined $50 and sent to jail for thir-
ty days.
Charles Rogers, of Snow Shoe In-
tersection, plead guilty to manufac-
turing and illegal possession and was
fined $200 and sent to jail for six
months. Judge Potter stated that he
is going to do his part to break up
the nefarious practice of manufactur-
ing moonshine. If it was good liquor
it might not be so bad, but the stuff
that is made and sold is poison and
unfit to drink.
The case against the Bellefonte
lodge of Moose was disposed of by the
court imposing a fine of $1,000 and
costs and giving the lodge thirty days
in which to settle. This case had been
hanging fire ‘since the Moose was
raided by state police on the 7th of
last January. At that time a large
quantity of home-made brew was con-
fiscated which analyzed a much higher
per cent. of alcohol than permitted by
law. When the case was called up
before Judge Potter that gentleman
asked the lodge’s attorney how many
members it had. On being told five
hundred he said $1,000 fine, which will
be but two dollars apiece, and they
likely had that much fun out of it.
The first jury trial was that of the
Commonwealth vs. Daniel Kittrell, of
State College, Bessie Cheyney prose-
The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty and divided the costs.
The next case was that of Margaret
Ellen Baumgardner vs. Collins C.
administrator, et al,
being a civil action to revive a judg-
ment. The jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff in the sum of $119,
with interest from April 3, 1899.
On Friday morning Teresa Yulock
plead guilty to violating the liquor
laws and was fined $200, costs of pros-
ecution and sent to jail for six months.
The grand jury ignored the bill in
the case against C. M. Smith, of Mill-
heim, charged with forgery, and put
the costs on the prosecutor, James
Fromm.
Commonwealth vs. Harry Finberg,
of Philipsburg, charged with rape.
Prosecutor Mary Drop. The jury re-
turned a verdict of not guilty.
Commonwealth vs. George Walk, of
Hannah Furnace, charged with the
larceny of some tools from the Bell
Telephone company. The jury return-
verdict of guilty. Mr. Finklestine’s
attorneys later made a motion for a
new trial, which will naturally delay
judgment on the verdict.
Commonwealth vs. David Finkle-
stine, of Bellefonte, indicted for oper-
ating gambling devices and illegal
possession of liquor. Mr. Finklestine
plead guilty to the first charge and
stood trial on the second. After hear-
ing the evidence the jury returned a
verdict of guilty.
Mary XKormanic, of Snow Shee
township, plead guilty to manufactur-
ing and illegal possession of liquor
and was fined $200, costs of prosecu-
tion and given six months in the coun-
ty jail.
Charles A. Isenberg plead guilty to
illegal possession and was sentenced
to pay a fine of $50, costs of prosecu-
tion and imprisonment in the county
jail for a period of thirty days.
Late Wednesday afternoon the case
of the Commonwealth vs. Nick Gar-
binski, of Osceola Mills, was taken up.
The prosecutor was Harry McMoni-
gal and Nick was charged with as-
sault and battery and inciting to riot.
Mr, Garbinski is an organizer for the
United Mine Workers and the case
grew out of trouble at Moshannon
mine No. 10, on May 15th, 1925, dur-
ing a miner's strike. The case for the
Commonwealth was conducted by dis-
trict attorney Ivan Walker and N. B.
Spangler, while attorney Chase, of
Clearfield, represented the defendant.
Testimony in the case was taken at a
night session Wednesday evening and
the case went to the jury yesterday
morning. ;
The grand jury was still in session
"when the “Watchman” went to press
| yesterday. For several years past
‘grand juries in Centre county have
completed their work in two or three
days, but it must not be construed
' that the jury this week is farming the
"job. Far from it. They have been

Petty Cases Disposed of at Saturday
| Session of Court.
A session of court was held by
Judge Dale, last Saturday, to clear as
many cases as possible from the dock- {ly left the depot. After driving al-
et so as to relieve the work at the reg-
j ular court session this week.
{ W. D. Zerby, attorney for James
Morrison, sentenced on Tuesday of
‘last week to pay a fine of $100 and
costs for operating an automobile
after his license had been revoked, pe-
titioned the court to permit his client
to pay his fine and costs in install-
. ments of $29.70 per month instead of
| spending the time in jail. The court
signed the petition but informed Mr.
| Morrison that if he defaults on any of
the payments he will be returned to
jail.
The district attorney asked that
nolle prosses be granted in the cases
against Forrest F. Homan and Frank
Mazzi because of insufficient evidence
to convict, and the same was granted.
He also asked that the cases against
Earl Horner and Glenn Corman be
nolle prossed. These are the two
young men arrested with Russell
Stamm on the charge of attempting
to pass a forged check, but inasmuch
as Stamm has assumed all the blame
a nolle pros was granted.
The case of Max Herr, a State Col-
lege student, charged with operating
a motor car without a certificate of
ownership, was also nolle prossed, be-
cause it was shown that the car in
question had been purchased as junk,
rebuilt and the young man has secur-
ed a certificate of ownership for a re-
built car.
Clyde Jackson, of State College,
plead guilty to wilfully, maliciously
and fraudulently altering and publish-
ing a check in connection with a trans-
action with John Haugh & Son, of
State College, and was sentenced to
pay a fine of one dollar, costs of pros-
ecuticn and undergo imprisonment in
the western penitentiary for not less
than one nor more than two years.
Mrs. Florence Shay was brought be-
fore the court on the charge of the
larceny of a coat, traveling bag, pink
dress and hat from Hazel Carver. She
plead guilty but because of the plea of
her attorney to give her one more
chanee, and her promise to reform,
sentence was suspended for a period
of three years upon the payment of
costs. .
C. L. Hall, of Snow Shoe, plead
guilty to operating gambling devices
and was sentenced to pay a fine of $50
and costs.
Robert A. Patton, of Port Matilda,
plead guilty to the charge of assault
and battery preferred by Mrs. Maude
Lykens, of Port Matilda. Mr. Patton,
who is probably seventy years old, es-
sayed the role of peacemaker in the
Lykens family and got into trouble
himself. He was sentenced to pay a
fine of $25 and costs.

Results of Saturday’s Football Games.
{ Only a fair crowd went out to
Hughes field, on Saturday afternoon,
: to see the opening game of the Belle-
fonte Academy football season, and it
was some game. The Academy’s op-
ponents were the soldiers from the
Carlisle barracks, and they may be
good soldiers but they didn’t show up
very strong on the football field, es-
i pecially against the kind of a team
i turned out by coach Snavely. The
! very fact that the Academy rolled up
a score of 95 points while the soldiers
i failed to make one down, is evidence
i of the relative strength of the teams.
i Capt. Hood's forward passing for the
. Academy was one of the spectacular
features of the game, but brilliant
work was also done by Whitmore, Hin-
kle and Thompson. The first team
scored 53 points in the first half then
the second line men were put in and
they ran the score up 42 points more.
Up at State College the State team
had to work hard to defeat Lebanon
Valley college 14 to 0. During the
first half of the game the visitors held
State scoreless, the two touch-
downs being made in the third
and fourth quarters. State has lots
of material to draw from but their of-
fensive was weak in Saturday’s game.
The Bellefonte High school eleven
played Snow Shoe, on Beaver field on
Saturday morning, defeating them by
the score of 19 to 0.

Residents of Bellefonte pretty
generally complain of high taxes. The
millage here is 57, but over in South
Philipsburg it is 88. And many peo-
ple of that burg would like to go back
into Rush township where the millage
is 63. Of course the property valua-
tion has a lot to do with high taxes
and we are not informed regarding
the valuation either in South Philips-
burg or Rush township, but we do
know it is enough in Bellefonte to
make taxes seem pretty high.

honeymoon.
“When the young couple stepped
from the train they were hustled into

most a block "the driver's attention
was attracted by the screams of a
child and he stopped his car. An in-
vestigation revealed the boy caught in
the wheel of the car and terribly
crushed and maimed. It was thought
that he had climbed on the side of the
car to ride home with the bride and
groom, slipped and got caught in the
wheel. He was taken to Dr. Black’s
private hospital but died within an
hour.

Lewistown from Bellefonte last April,

the Miller home.
Joseph Grassmire Arrested for Boot-
legging.
Joseph Grassmire, of Milesburg,
was arrested last Friday evening by
state policeman S. G. Wellar on the
charge of bootlegging and gave bail
for his appearance at court. Officers
of the law having been laying for him
for some time and last week, it is
claimed, he sold a quart of liquor to
Joseph Naralail and L. Moore, two
state policemen in plain clothes. When
arrested a quart of moonshine was
found in his possession and officer
Wellar claims that he threw a quart
bottle from the car before he could
stop him. Mr. Grassmire’s car was
also confiscated.

mark, Huntingdon county, had gone
almost dry members of the Blair coun-
ty Game, Fish and Forestry associa-

to the effect that ‘Lewistown is flat on its

mal over there except the Standard Steel
works and it is not wholly at a standstill.”

Lewistown would not be “flat,” even if it
were the only one of her many industries
in operation. Mrs. Campbell, it will be re-
called, was Miss Elizabeth Orris before
her marriage.
