In our report of the county
teachers’ institute last week we inad-
vertently omitted to mention the fact
that the musical part of the institute
was in charge of Mrs. Krader, of
Bellefonte, which is sufficient assur-
ance that it was one of the conspicu-
ous and most enjoyable features of
the gathering.
——A Bellefonte man who has kept
the weather observations during the
month of October is authority for the
statement that we have not had two
days of continuous sunshine during
the entire month. While there. has
been considerable rain there has not
been enough of it to raise the streams
to any appreciable extent.
The Ladies Aid of the Evangel-
ical church of Bellefonte will hold a
cafeteria supper Saturday evening,
November 7th, beginning at 6 o’clock,
in the social room of the church. The
supper will be followed by a “Get-to-
gether” meeting. Music and singing

liamsport. Don’t miss it.
— The high-class pictures shown
at the Scenic continue to draw good
crowds every evening in the week.
These pictures can be seen only at the
Scenic and all lovers of the screen who
miss one evening’s program will not
have another opportunity of seeing
them. The big orchestral pipe organ
continues to please patrons of this
old-established place of amusement,
and naturally adds to the delight of all
patrons.
Charles Kustaborder, who was
injured while in the act of throwing a
belt in the C. Y. Wagner & Co. mill,
last Thursday morning, is still confin-
ed to the Centre County hospital but
getting along as well as can be ex-
pected. It was at first thought that
his left arm was broken in two places
but this fortunately is not the case,
as it is broken in one place only. The
fractured ribs are causing him more
trouble than the broken arm.
——We acknowledge receipt of a
very interesting little booklet, “Our
Town,” from the press of the Nittany
Printing and Publishing company,
State College. As its title implies it
is a very intimate presentation of the
development and growth of the town
that has risen like magic on the moun-
tain locked plain at the end of Mt.
Nittany. It is done in buff and sepia,
profusely illumined, and is very cred-
itable as to executior and interesting
in contents.
— At a meeting of the board of
trustees of State College, on Saturday,
E. S. Bayard, of Pittsburgh, and John
S. Fisher, of Indiana, were elected
members of the trustee executive com-
mittee to succeed the late E. R. Pet-
tibone, of Wilkes-Barre, and Hon. El-
lis L. Orvis, of Bellefonte, a retiring
member of the board. Judge H. Wal-
ton Mitchell, president of the board,
reported progress in the matter of the
election of a new president of the col-
lege to take the place of Dr. John W.
Thomas, recently resigned.
——Sunday was not a very favor-
able day for airmail men, because of
the high wind, but it resulted in two
records being broken, the slow one
and the fast one. Pilto H. A. Chand-
ler flew from Bellefonte to New York
‘n one hour and five minutes, which is
a record for the trip. Going west,
vever, pilot S. S. Kaufman was four
tours and twelve minutes in coming
from Neéw York to Bellefonte, and he
kept right on the course the entire dis-
tance. “He was compelled to set down
in Sunbury for a supply of gas and
oil, but the above time was his actual
time in the air,
TWO MEN KILLED
AT LIMESTONE QUARRIES.
Collapse of Trestle Causes Death of
George Letterman Jr. and
Russell King.
The collapse of the high trestle car-
rying the narrow guage railroad at
the Armor Gap plant of the American
Lime & Stone company, on Monday
morning, caused the instant death of
George Letterman Jr., of Milesburg,
and so badly injured Russell King, of
near Jacksonville, that he died at the
Centre County hospital at one o’clock
p. m. Tuesday. The trestle ran from
No. 35 quarry to the crusher at No. 15
plant. It was forty feet high and
over two hundred feet in length. Rus-
sell King was the driver of the dinkey
locomotive which was attached to four
loaded cars of stone, George Letter-
man and his brother Alfred being the
brakemen.
The dinkey was pushing the cars to
the crusher and the little train had
just gotten out onto the first span
when the entire trestle, seven spans
in all, collapsed and fell to the ground.
Letterman was killed outright. King
was pinned fast in the cab of the din-
key and was badly burned from es-
caping steam, in addition to suffering
a concussion of the brain. Alfred Let-
terman suffered contusions of the head
and body but his condition is not be-
lieved critical.
The mass of timber imprisoned the
men beneath it and it was necessary
to resort to the use of dynamite to
loosen the entanglement. The injured
men were rushed to the hospital as
quickly as possible and at first it was
thought that the life of King could be
saved, but his injuries proved more
serious than appeared evident at first.
The cause of the accident is not def-
initely known. The trestle was built
in April, 1921, and was composed of
heavy timbers set on concrete founda-
tions, or piers, with steel girders on
top. It had been inspected from time
to time and was always reported safe
and in good condition.
Russell King, the dead engine
driver, was a son of William and
Mary King, and was born at Lyon-
town thirty-two years ago. He had
been an employee of the American
Lime & Stone company ever since he
grew to manhood. Both his parents
are dead but he is survived by his
wife, who before her marriage was
Miss Marion Mechtley, and one son,
Miles, aged about three years. He
also leaves the following brothers and
sisters: William, Thomas, Agnew and
Charles King, all of Coleville; Oliver,
of Lyontown; John, of Curtin; Mrs.
Nellie Symmonds, of Beaver Falls;
Mrs. Verna Bond, in Florida; Mrs.
Grace Wagner, of Brooklyn, N.Y,
and Miss Martha, of Philadelphia.
The funeral will be held at two o’clock
this (Friday) afternoon, burial to be
made in the Meyers cemetery.
George Letterman was a son of
George W. and Myrtle Rager Letter-
man and was born in Milesburg De-
cember 4th, 1901, hence was 23 years,
10 months and 14 days old. He, also,
had been an employee of the American
Lime & Stone company for some time.
He was unmarried but is survived by
his parents and the following broth-
ers and sisters: Mrs. Elmer Rockey,
of Bellefonte; Alfred, Russell, Kath-
ryn, Helen, Elmer, Donald and Mah-
lon, all at home. Funeral services
were held in the Methodist church, at
Milesburg, at two o’clock yesterday
afternoon by Rev. R. Layman, after
which burial was made in the Treziy-
ulny cemetery.
Everything Ready for Big Hallow-een
Carnival Tonight.
Everything is in readiness for the
big Hallow-een carnival to be held in
Bellefonte this evening under the au-
spices of the Bellefonte Lodge of
Elks. All that will be needed to make
it a success will be the right kind of
weather. Last year the big parade
was sadly marred by a hard rain,
which began just as the parade was
ready to move and continued most of
the night. If the weather forecast is
to be depended upon nothing of the
kind will happen this year.
As published in this paper last
week, the parade will form on south
Allegheny and Bishop streets at 7:30
o'clock and move promptly at eight.
Mummers and others intending to
take part should be on hand in ample
time to form in line. The route of the
parade has already been announced.
The list of prizes this year is on a par
with that of former years and are
worth contesting for.
Inasmuch as the Harvest Queen con-
test did not close until ten o’clock last
night, long after the “Watchman”
went to press we are unable to state
who the lucky young lady will be, but
as there were only three contestants
all will be in evidence in the parade
tonight.

Christ and the upbuilding of human-
ity. |
Presbyterian Home to be Inspected
2 November 12.
At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors, held at Hollidaysburg last Wed-
nesday, Thursday, November 12th,
was set as the day for a public inspec-
tion of the new Presbyterian home for
the aged near Hollidaysburg. By that
time it is hoped to have the remodel-
ing and furnishing of the home prac-
tically completed. It is expected that
the home will be open for guests on or
before Thanksgiving.
Hughes Files Defense for New Rail-
road Line.
The movement to build a new trunk
line railroad through Pennsylvania
has not been entirely smothered by
railroad companies opposing it, as was
evidenced on Monday when Charles E.
Hughes, former Secretary of State,
filed a defense with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, at Washing-
ton. Another hearing probably will
be held at a future date. The road in
question is the one the survey for
which runs through Centre county and
is known as the Pittsburgh and East-
ern.

Rewards Paid for the Finding of Pilot
Ames’ Body.
On Monday postmaster John L.
Knisely paid to the twenty-four men
who composed the searching party
which found the body of the late pi-
lot Charles H. Ames the various re-
wards offered for the recovery of the
body, a total of $1,100. This included
$500 offered by the pilots association
of America, $5600 paid by Mrs. Mary
E. Robinson, of Jackson, Mich., a sis-
ter of the dead pilot, and $100 paid by
the Masonic lodge, of Cleveland, of
which he was a member. As the re-
ward was divided between twenty-four
men and boys it figured up just $45.83
each. And thus ended the last act in
the tragedy of the mailplane pilot who
plunged to his death on Nittany moun-
tain on the night of October 1st.
Men from Mercer
Electrocuted.
John Girsch and Michael Weiss, of
Mercer county, were electrocuted at
the Rockview penitentiary on Monday
morning for the murder of William Z.
Turner, proprietor of a filling station
at West Middlesex, on the night of
March 1st, 1924. When Girsch was
being taken to the chair he said:
“Wait a minute; can’t one man take
all the blame? I was there when the
old man was killed.” From this it
would seem as if Girsch fired the shot
which killed Turner. When Weiss
was taken to the chair he declared he
was innocent of the crime of which he
had been convicted but was ready to
go. Both young men were only twen-
ty-two years of age. The bodies were
claimed and were sent back to Mer-
cer county for burial. These were the
first electrocutions of men from that
county.

Hunting Season for Small Game will
Open Next Monday.
It is probably not a matter of news
to the well informed hunter to tell
him that the hunting season for smail
game, such as squirrel, pheasant, wild
turkey and rabbits, will open next
Monday. November 1st is really the
day, but inasmuch as that date falls
on Sunday, and hunting on Sun-
day is prohibited by law, the
enthusiasts will have to wait until
Monday morning to hie to the woods
and try their luck.
Quite a number of hunters have
been out in the woods the past few
weeks scouting around and while they
are not giving exact locations away
they report game more plentiful than
it has been the past two or three
years. This is especially true of
pheasants and rabbits, while quite a
number of wild turkeys have been
seen in certain locations. All in all
prospects for a good season’s sport
are rather encouraging.
Harold Mayes Had Narrow Escape
from Asphyxiation.
Harold Mayes, son of J. Will Mayes,
of Howard, was about as near death
as a man can be, last Friday night,
and live to tell about it. He is em-
ployed by the State Highway Depart-
ment as a truck driver and last Fri-
day night decided to overhaul the mo-
tor. He was doing the work in the
Highway garage on Wilson street.
Along about twelve o’clock people
living in that vicinity heard some one
calling for help but thinking it an in-
toxicated individual did not investi-
gate but called state highway patrol-
man Millard Solt. He went to the ga-
rage and on opening the door saw
Mayes lying on his face on the floor
of the garage. Realizing that he had
been overcome by carbon monoxide
gas Mr. Solt tied a handkerchief over
his nostrils, ran in and carried Mayes
out into the open. Securing help he
rushed him to the Centre County hos-
pital where it was discovered that his
heart had almost stopped beating.
Quick work, however, restored circu-
lation and in due time he revived.
Mayes later stated that when he re-
alized he was being overcome by the
gas he attempted to make for the door
but was so confused that he went the
wrong way and fell down, and the fact
that he was lying on the floor is what
probably saved his life.

RECEIVER TO BE APPOINTED IN
CENTRE COUNTY BANK CASE
TO-MORROW.
At a hearing in the court house on
Tuesday morning, Judge Dale entered
a final decree of judgment, pro confes-
so, against Florence F. Dale, Andrew
Breese and Geo. R. Meek in the mat-
ter of the bill in equity that had been
entered against them by Mary C. Har-
ris and the administrator of the es-
tate of the late John M. Shugert. The
bill was a prayer to have the court ap-
point a receiver for the banking com-
pany of which it alleged that the three
defendants named are partners.
Mr. Meek accepted service and en-
tered a demurrer which meant that he
would answer when Mrs. Dale and Mr.
Breese were brought into court. Serv-
ice on them was had by advertisement
and their attorneys contended that the
court was without jurisdiction. How-
ever, the point of law raised may be,
Judge Dale took the matter in his
own hands, granted the prayer of the
bill and entered the decree as above
stated. At the same time he announc-
ed that he will appoint a receiver for
the banking company tomorrow at 10
o’clock.
So far as we are advised the action
has no effect on the defendants as in-
dividuals. It merely permits the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the com-
pany as an entity, leaving the ques-
tion of fact as to who are its partners
for later determination.
The receiver, after appointment,
may go ahead and marshal the assets
of the bank.

sum of $500 to keep the peace for one
year and pay the costs in the case, be-
ing given time in which to pay the
latter.

Attorney.
Little Girl Injured in Auto Accident.
Marion Palmer, seven year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Pal-
mer, of Potters Mills, was struck and
knocked down by an automobile driv-
en by Mr. Smith, of Belleville, about

rendered all the aid he could. While
the little girl’s injuries are painful
they are not regarded as alarming.

Barney Google Coming to the Moose
Theatre.
That most popular of all popular
cartoon characters, Barney Google, is
to be in our midst again at Moose
Temple theatre, Thursday, November
bth, one night only. Not to know
Barney and his favorite steed, “Spark
Plug” is like being unable to remem-
ber the words of that classic song,
“Home, Sweet Home.” Barney and
Spark Plug are an institution. An
American institution, by the way, and
one destined to endure as long as ef-
fervescent and insinuating humor
finds receptive reaction in the lives
and existence of we poor mortals.
Therefore it behooves all of us who
like Barney and Spark Plug to get on
the band wagon and give the twain a
rousing welcome. We may rest assur-
ed that these creations will at least
be in capable hands. As for the sup-
porting company, it is promised that
nothing has been left undone to fur-
nish a performance commensurate
