— The bottom dropped out of the

—— The new drinking fountain has
been put in place out at the big spring
and the wire fence completed on the

now remains to be done is the erection
of the iron fence on top of the stone
wall in front, the installation of the
five lights on the stone pillars and the
leveling up and sowing to grass of the
new plot south of the spring.
Neither the Bellefonte. Acade-
my nor the Bellefonte High school
played football last week. Hach one
cancelled their game for good and suf-
ficient reasons, the Academy because
Georgetown University insisted on
dictating the appointment of officials,
while the High school refused to play
Yeagertown because its team was
stuffed with semi-professional players.
Football fans in Bellefonte and
Centre county who may be itching to
see a good game tomorrow cannot do
better than motor to Altoona and take
in the contest between the Bellefonte
Academy and Pitt Freshmen, which
will be played on the cricket field.
Game will be called at two o’clock
which will afford ample time to return
home in time for the evening meal.
This is one of the best games on the
Academy’s schedule and will be well
worth going to Altoona to see.
——We are now convinced that the
old-time sayings have no standing in
fact and there is no reliance to be
placed on the weather prophets who
predict a long, hard winter because of
the long hair on a toad or some
other animal. According to one of the
old saws the weather of the last Fri-
day in the month governs that of the
ensuing month. On the last Friday in
October it snowed from early morn to
night and almost half of November
has passed and we haven’t had a bit
of snow since, we are thankful to say.
——It is estimated that twenty
thousand people attended the Penn
State-Notre Dame football ganie, at
State College, last Saturday, notwith-
standing the drizzling rain that fell
during the greater part of the contest.
And while they saw a battle royal the
: ended in a scoreless tie, as
r team was able to cross the
other's goal line. Opinions differ as
to what the result would have been
on a dry field and sunshiny day, but
as that is only corjecture, it is very
evi‘ent that the teams were pretty
evenly matched,

RECEIVER OR RECEIVERS NOT
YET APPOINTED FOR CENTRE
COUNTY BANK.
Court Gets Petitions and Hears Ar-
gument on Appointment of
Receivers for Centre
County Bank.
A special session of court was held
on Wednesday morning in connection
with the appointment of a receiver or
receivers for the Centre County bank.
N. B. Spangler representing the cred-
itor's committee and James C. Furst
attorney of record in the equity pro-
ceedings, stated to the court that since
the petition for the appointment of a
receiver was presented to the court on
October 30th, a petition signed by
twenty-six depositors had been filed
requesting the court to appoint three
receivers instead of one. The attor-
neys also presented a petition signed
by some six or seven names attached
to the aforementioned petition in
which they asked that their names be
stricken off the first document and
they be permitted to join in the peti-
tion for the appointment of but one
receiver. Another petition signed by
158 depositors was presented in which
the court was asked to appoint but one
receiver.
Mr. Spangler stated that the one ar-
gument used against the appointment
of Ivan Walker alone as receiver was
that, being a trustee for the John M.
Shugert and Mary M. Harris estates
he would naturally be interested in tak-
ing care of their individual creditors
first, but that the story had no foun-
dation in fact. That there would be
at least $20,000 left from the Shugert
estate to go to the bank’s creditors
after all individual claims are adjudi-
cated. He further protested against
the appointment of three receivers be-
cause it would in his opinion entail
greater expense and possibly cause
more turmoil and further delay in the
settlement of the bank’s affairs.
Ex-Judge Ellis L. Orvis, who rep-
resented the petitioners for the ap-
pointment of three receivers, stated to
the court that he wanted it distinctly
understood that neither he nor any of
the depositors who signed the peti-
tion he represented had any personal
feeling against Mr. Walker. It was
sincerely their belief that three entire-
ly disinterested men, or women if the
court felt disposed to appoint them,
would be able to effect a settlement of
the bank’s affairs more expeditiously
and with less friction than one man,
and especially Mr. Walker, who is
trustee for the two bankrupt estates.
In answer to Mr. Spangler’s assertion
that the John M. Shugert estate would
net about $20,000 for the bank’s cred-
itors he stated that he was informed
that in the neighborhood of $30,000
worth of individual claims had already
been filed and that other claims are
likely to come in.
In further support of the appoint-
ment of Mr. Walker Mr. Spangler
stated that he had so far collected
$20,000 worth of accounts that had |
really been outlawed by the statute of
limitation; had gathered together
$62,000 of the bank’s assets and had
paid off some of the bank’s obligations
to other banks and gathered in liquid
securities which have been paying in-
terest right along. Judge Orvis stat-
ed that if Mr. Walker had been able
to collect $20,000 worth of outlawed
paper that three receivers might have
done much better.
After all the attorneys had had
their say the court took all the papers
and will announce his decision later.
While we are convinced that three
receivers would be much better than
one we will not discuss the question at
this time. It should, however, have
impressed those in the court room
Tuesday morning that it was the at-
tempt to have three appointed that
squeezed out the first crumb of infor-
mation that the creditors of the bank
have been able to get in three years
and a half. From what we have been
led to believe not even the creditors’
committee had knowledge of how
much in funds were in hand, how
much the litigation has cost or any-
thing else about the affairs of the de-
funect institution.
The attempt to broaden out the re-
ceivership, give it the benefit of three
minds instead of one, did that much
good at least. It got the information
to those most interested that there is
$62,000 in cash ready for distribution.
As for the charge in the Centre Dem-
ocrat of yesterday morning that “Geo.
R. Meek has opposed every move in
the proceedings to date, resulting in
three and a half year’s delay” any-
body with the wit of a flea knows that
all the delay there has been has been
caused by the bungling manner in
which the proceedings have been
brought.
And, further, Geo. R. Meek has of-
fered the only constructive sugges-
tions that have been given to the
creditors since the bank failed.

Billy Sunday Coming to Bellefonte
on Monday.
Through the instrumentality of the
Bellefonte Ministerium, and by special
invitation of Rev. Reed O. Steely, Billy
Sunday and his entire retinue will vis-
it Bellefonte next Monday morning
and will hold services in the United
Evangelical church at ten o'clock.
The great evangelist is now engaged
in conducting a six week’s revival
campaign in Williamsport and every
Monday morning goes out to some
town within reach and holds services.
This accounts for the visit he will
make to Bellefonte next Monday.
With Mr. Sunday will be his re-
nowned musical leader, Homer Rhode-
heaver as well as other departmental
leaders in his evangelistic work. Their
visit here will probably afford the only
| opportunity the people of Bellefonte
,and vicinity will ever have of hearing
this wonderful religious exhorter. In
case the United Evangelicl church is
not large enough to accommodate all
who want to hear him an overflow
meeting will be held in the United
Brethren church.
Financial Rally at the United Evan-
/ gelical Church.
The congregation of the Bellefonte
United Evangelical church again dem-
onstrated, last Sunday, that it can pay
quite as well as it can pray.
It was the occasion of a financia
rally to reduce the debt incurred by
the recent building of the handsomest
and best arranged Sunday school room
in town. Rev. William B. Cox, of
Harrisburg, the presiding elder, was
here and preached the sermon at the
morning session and the Hon. Albert
W. Johnson, U. S. Dist. Judge, deliv-
ered a splendid address in the evening.
Both were inspirational in the extreme
and contributed to the spirit that rose
to meet the mark of $2,000 that was
hoped would be raised that day.
Under the devoted leadership of
their young pastor, the Rev. Reed O.
Steely, this congregation, relatively
small when compared with some of
the other churches of the town, has
given all of them an object lesson in
Sunday brings the total of their gifts
to this special cause up to $6,000 for
! this year.
J. Orvis Keller Promoted at
College.
J. Orvis Keller, for three years head
of the industrial engineering depart-
ment at State College, has been pro-
moted to head of the engineering ex-
tension department to succeed Nor-
man C. Miller, resigned to become di-
rector of industrial extension at Rut-
gers University, in New Jersey. Mr.
Keller will assume a portion of the
work of his new appointment at once
but will not take active charge until
the end of the first semester, on or
about February 1st.
Mr. Keller is the eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Keller, of Bellefonte.
He graduated at State College in 1914
and spent séveral years with large in-
‘dustrial concerns throughout the coun-
[try before returning to State College
to accept a professorship. For sev-
leral years past he has been a special
‘lecturer for foreman training classes
for the extension department and has
conducted short courses in summer at
the college for foremen, superintend-
ents, managers and other industrial
executives.
State
R. L. Dollings Company Officials Sent
to Penitentiary.
Those Centre countians who lost
their money in the R. L. Dollings
company may be interested in know-
ing that two of the head officials have
been sent to the federal penitentiary
at Atlanta, Ga. They are William G.
Benham, former president, who drew a
seven years term, and Dwight L. Har-
rison, former secretary, sent up for six
years. Both are residents of Ohio,
where the parent company was pro-
moted. While the exact amount of
money lost by Centre county investors
in the Dollings company was never
disclosed it is known to be well up in
the thousands.
——Under a recent law oysters
must now be sold by count and not by
measurement, and like all laws it has
resulted in increasing the price of the
luscious bivalve beyond the reach of
the average man. Bellefonte dealers
are selling at two and three cents
apiece or one dollar a quart in sealed
containers. The latter is an increase
of twenty cents a quart over last
year’s price.

' OLD, COSTLY FURNITURE
WENT UP IN SMOKE.
Fire on St. Paul Street, Monday Even-
ing, Caused Alarm on West Side.
The burning of Arthur Foreman’s
workshop, on the west side of St.Paul
street, on Monday evening, developed
‘a raging fire which for a time caused
considerable alarm among every resi-
dent and property owner on the west
side. Considerable wind prevailed at
the time and the air was filled with a
shower of flying sparks and cinders,
but fortunately no other buildings
caught fire with the exception of the
house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Gow-
en Thomas, next door to the burned
building. The north side of that house
was badly charred and a portion of the
roof burned, while the interior of the
house was pretty badly damaged by
water.
The building destroyed was the Ed-
ward Overton property and was lo-
cated between the John Bower house,
occupied by Gowen Thomas, and the
negro Masonic hall. It had recently
been leased by Arthur Foreman as a
work shop and a large part of the fur-
niture he had for repair had been
moved into it. In fact the building
was crowded with furniture of all
kinds, some of which had not yet been
touched, some on which work was in
progress and a number of pieces com-
pleted and ready for delivery. Infact
Arthur had gone to the shop and built
a fire in the stove to warm up the
place in order to put the finishing
touches on some furniture he intended
delivering to State College owners on
Tuesday.
After building the fire he went over
home for a few minutes and when he
returned the entire lower portion of
the building was a mass of flames, so
that it was impossible for him to get
in and save anything. The building
had been burning probably ten min-
utes before the fire alarm was given
but following the alarm the fire com-
panies were quickly on the scene, and
while it was impossible to save the
burning building they kept the fire
from spreading.
While the fire was at its height
some good-intentioned persons pushed
Rev. J. A. Mills’ automobile from the
Jack Houck garage just across the
street out into the street but could get
it no further because the brakes were
on. A burning cinder fell on the top
and the top and cushions of the seats
were burned. Rev. Mills had no insur-
ance on his car and Arthur Foreman
did not have insurance on his work-
shop or the furniture stored therein,
so that the loss is total.
Centre County Hunters are Getting
Few Birds.
Everybody has heard the story of
the Irishman and his proverbial flea,
and that is the situation most Centre
county hunters are in this season re-
garding wild turkeys. So far only
one has been brought into Bellefonte,
and that was by J. I. Young on the
opening day of the season. Other
hunters who have gone into well
known turkey territory day after day
have found plenty of signs but the
elusiveness of the bird baffled all ef-
forts of the hunters to bag any of
them. Pheasants, also, are about as
scarce as wild turkeys, and while a
few of them have been seen very few
have been bagged.
So far rabbits have furnished the
only worth-while sport. The cotton-
tails are quite plentiful everywhere
and quite a number of them have been
killed. Squirrel, however, are scarce
and very few of them are being killed.
While the opening of the deer hunt-
ing season is over two weeks away
most of the hunters are already lay-
ing their plans and getting their out-
fits in order for that momentous event.
As the opening day will fall on Tues-
day hunting parties will begin moving
mountainwards the Saturday previous
in order to get their camp in shape for
the opening morning. While small
game is scarce deer seem to be as
plentiful this year as last, and old-
time hunters are anticipating their
usual supply of venison.
State College Hunters Bagged a Big
Bear on Tuesday.
The bear hunting season opened vn
Tuesday and twelve members of the
Homan hunting club, of State College,
motored to the Allegheny mountains
for an early chase before the woods
are invaded by deer hunters and bruin
driven to his den by fright. They re-
turned to Bellefonte a little after
three o'clock in the afternoon with a
250 pound bear, which fell before the
unerring aim of Frank Homan. The
party saw several other bear but got
only the one lucky shot.
