WITH THE HUNTERS
AND THE HUNTED.
i
oi Township Hunters Get Big
Bear. Deer Hunters will Soon
Invade Mountains.
On the opening day of the bear
hunting season a party of hunters
from College and Ferguson townships
| went out on the Allegheny mountains,
' above Runville, and killed a 240 pound
bear and returned home by four
o’clock. Not to be outdone some two
dozen or more of the best shots from
Ferguson township went out back of
Yarnell, last Thursday morning, being
joined by several residents of Yar-
nell, and succeeded in bagging the
daddy of all bears, one which tipped
the beam at the 354 pound notch. The
animal was brought to earth by a Mr.
Miller, of Yarnell.
On the same afternoon a few Belle-
fonters went up into the woods back
of the old peach orchard on the peni-
tentiary lands to hunt small game.
They took along several rabbit dogs
and the latter started up what looked
to one of the party who saw it like a
very large bear. The animal was too
far away for a shot and instead of
keeping within the woods it made for
the Buffalo Run valley a1 d crossed to
the Bald Eagle mountain, where it ev-
idently holed up as the dogs gave up
the chase and returned to the rabbit
hunters.
On Sunday evening an automobile
party of young men returning to
Bellefonte from a run to Snow Shoe,
saw a fair sized bear cross the road on
the hill above the railroad crossing on
the top of the mountain. The animal
was only a short distance away and
was not particularly frightened by the
automobile.
The small game season, with the ex-
ception of rabbits, will close next
Monday and it has been a disappoint-
ing season to the hunters. Compara-
tively few wild turkeys have been
killed in the county and pheasants
have also been very scarce. The kill
of squirrels has also been small, and
the only kind of game that has af-
forded any real sport is rabbits. They
are quite plentiful and a large num-
ber of them have been bagged.
But all hunters are now looking for-
ward to the opening of the deer hunt-
ing season, next Tuesday, as the days
of real sport. No kind of hunting is
quite as exciting as going on the trail
for deer. These animals are probably
more plentiful in Centre county than
any other kind of game. The Seven
mountains offer the best field for the
sport, and it is safe to say that up-
wards of two thousand hunters will be
in the woods on the opening day. The
largér number will go into camp for
the season, or until they get their lim-
it, but there will also be many day
hunting parties.
Deer are so plentiful on the Seven
mountains that it is an ordinary sight
to see them pasturing in the fields at
the foot of the mountains. Of course
the majority of them are doubtless
does, but quite a number of bucks
have also been seen. Reports from
the Allegheny mountains indicaie
more deer in that section than there
have been for several years. One old
woodsman reported seeing a flock with
four bucks init, and they all had
horns of legal size.
What is supposed to be the biggest
deer running the range in Centre
county woodlands was seen by a party
of small game hunters in Greenvalley
last week. The men were unable to
tell the size of the rack he carried on
his head but described it as being
enormous, but they did get a good
look at his tail as he made his way
through the woods and aver that it
was the biggest flag ever waved in de-
fiance by any deer they ever saw.
This deer has been seen on various
oceasions in Greenvalley the past two
or three years, and hunting parties
have gone out expressly to capture
it, but the wily animal has so far
evaded being a mark for the hunter’s
aim.

; Sentences Doled Out at Special Ses-
: sion of Court on Tuesday.
Tuesday, attorney W. Groh Runkle
| asked for the disch jai
asked for the discharge from jail of | Since early last spring John Me.
Frank Tomzak, of Benner township,
who in September was sentenced to
serve two months and pay a fine of
$100 for selling a pint of liquor.
Tomzak’s time was not up until Wed-
nesday but his discharge was asked
because the man who was running his
ing. The court granted the discharge
and gave Tomzak thirty days in which
to pay the fine and costs.
E. C. Estright, of Snow Shoe Inter-
section, was before the court on the
charge of operating a motor car while
under the influence of liquor. His at-
torney, S. D. Gettig Esq., stated that
while technically guilty he had not
endangered the lives of any one. That
while in Bellefonte he had imbibed too
freely and going to his car in front of
the Garman house had started the mo-
tor but had not gotten down to Alle-
gheny street when stopped. Mr. Get-
tig also stated that the young man
was the sole support of his widowed
mother and eight sisters and brothers.
He is employed as a section hand on
the Pennsylvania railroad. The court
told him that his act would result in
the loss of his license and sentenced
him to pay a fine of $200 and costs
and gave him four months in which to
do it.
The next man called up was James
' Jackson, colored, charged with rob-
bing the Tallhelm store and Nason
garage, at Julian, early last week. On
eighteen years old but steadfastly re-
fused to tell the name of the man who
the only name he knew was “Whitey.”
When asked if he had ever been in
trouble before Jackson said once in
stabbed another colored man. He was
not convicted for the offence, however.
When asked why, he said that he had
a good lawyer. The court sent him to
the Huntingdon reformatory.
Arlington Jodon, of Howard town-
ship, was called up for shooting at a
man in mistake for game. Jodon was
out hunting and saw something on a
tree which he took to be a coon. He
fired two shots then a man called to
know what he was shooting at. The
man proved to be Lot Neff, who had
shot a squirrel which lodged in a tree
and he had climbed up to get it. The
court informed Jodon that his act
would result in the revocation of his
hunting license for a period of two
years, and in addition sentenced him
to pay a fine of $100 and costs, giving
him sixty days in which to make pay-
ment.
The final case was that against C.
E. Worrell, a sub-contractor on the
valley, being an appeal from a sum-
mary conviction before a justice of the
and costs for trespass. The court
found him guilty as charged, thus
sustaining the justice.
Airmail Pilot Stephen Kauffman Es-
capes Injury in Fall,
Airmail pilot Stephen Kauffman
crashed to earth in a piece of wood-
land, a mile southwest of Rockland,
Venango county, last Thursday night,
or rather early Friday morning, and
although his ship was completely
wrecked he escaped without a scratch
and only a minor shock. Kauffman
was on his night flight from New
York to Chicago and after passing
Clarion flew low preparatory to cross-
ing the river near Kennerdell, where
there is a beacon light. Like the late
lamented Charles H. Ames, who on
the night of October first, was killed
in a crash on the Nittany mountain,
in Centre county, Kauffman evidently
misjudged his height and flew into the
tree tops. One wing was torn away
and in a twinkling the other wing hit
a tree and it, too, was knocked off and
the plane fell to the ground.
Kauffman was somewhat dazed by
the fall but quickly recovered and
traveled almost a mile to a telephone,
sent word to the field at Clarion then
returned to his wrecked plane. A
mailplane was sent cut from Cleve-
land, the mail taken aboard and sent
on its way to Chicago.
H. C. Yeager to Again Embark in
Shoe Business.
Mrs. H. C. Yeager last week pur-
chased the small building on the Ben-
ner property, on High street, where
the late John Halderman conducted a
hot weinie and cigar stand, and Mr.
Yeager will again embark in the shoe
business at that stand. The building
will be remodeled and possibly slight-
ly enlarged. Mr. Yeager contemplates
starting in on a small scale, carrying
only two standard lines of shoes, and
selling them at a price which should
prove very attractive to the public
generally.

JOHN McCOY BUILDING
HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT.
At a special session of court, on | Keystone Power Corporation Con- ;,. gone south on a business trip a month
i tracted to Take Electric Output.
! Coy has had a force of men at work
constructing a big concrete dam on his
| property near Milesburg, and while
: there has all along been considerable
! speculation as to the ultimate devel-
, opment the project is a secret no long-
the installation of a big hydro-electric
‘ plant, and during the past week exe-
Power corporation to take all the elec-
tric fluid he can produce.
The breast of the main concrete
dam is twenty feet high over all, and
jin addition there is a succession of
i small dams along the old tail race in
{ order to secure the maximum amount
| of water power from the flow in
| Spring creek. The bed of the stream
. below the dams has been dredged out |
{ for a considerable distance in order
i that the discharge water from his
| plant will flow away freely. The
| magnitute of the work done can only
i be appreciated by an inspection of the
| property.
Mr. McCoy has all his equipment
ordered and expects to have the plant
installed and ready for operation by
March 1st, 1926. The equipment will
i consist of one 350 horse power ver-
‘tical water wheel which will be con-
‘nected direct with a 250 k. w. genera-
tor. All the highly technical electric-
al equipment necessary for the com-
- plete operation of the plant will also
be installed, and connection will be
made direct with the lines of the Key-
‘ stone Power corporation, which are
' strung through his property.
From officials of the Keystone Pow-
er corporation it is learned that the
“power from this hydro plant will be
fed into the line which carries the
electricity from the company’s water
wheel at Milesburg into Bellefonte.
During ordinary times both of these
water plants will feed energy into the
company’s system for general distri-
bution, and will provide about one-
twentieth of the company’s require-
ments. In emergencies, when the
Power company’s main source of sup-
! ply may fail, provision has been made
whereby the small amount of power
from the two water power sources can
i be utilized to continue the operation
of such important equipment as fire
pumps and other essential utilities un-
til the Milesburg steam plant can be
put into operation or the power serv-
ice restored.
This new development on the Me-
Coy property calls to mind the fact
that the place has an interesting his-
tory behind it. It is the seat of one
i of the oldest iron works in the coun-
try. Originally started as a charcoal
furnace
such up until less than twenty years
ago, being the next to the last old-
time furnace property to blow out in
Centre county. In fact the old McCoy
& Linn furnace and its product was
i known over many eastern States. At
: various times a nail mill, rolling mill
and forge were operated, and last
among the important industries to be
established there was the Titan metal
works. During the olden times the
McCoy & Linn plant was the main
standby of about two hundred em-
ployees, most of whom lived and died
in that vicinity and were followed by
their sons and grand-sons. Some of
the machinery which has been remov-
ed to make way for the new installa-
tion is of very ancient vintage. The
installation of the new hydro plant
will mean the utilization of the big-
gest water power source in Centre
county, one of sufficient capacity to
justify its development for commer-
cial use.
Hopped off a Freight to Steal a
Motor Car.
About ten o’clock Monday morning
two unknowns dropped off a west-
bound freight train, as it was passing
through Howard.
A number of people saw the stran-
gers make their way toward the milk
station and supposed they were going
there, as many strangers do, just to
get warm, Instead of entering the
plant they climbed into Cecil Herr’s
comparatively new Franklin car and
drove off.
The theft was not discovered until
two hours later when Mr. Herr left his
work in the plant and went to get his
car. It had seven gallons of gas in
the tank so that the thieves might
have gotten pretty far away before
having to refill, but with a bent axle
and a flat tire they abandoned it in
Lock Haven, where it was recovered
on Tuesday.
Have You Heard “Somebody Said?”
. The lilting waltz song “Somebody
Said” will be sung at the Richelieu,
next Wednesday evening by Mr. Ce-
cil Walker. The song has special lo-
cal interest because its music was
composed by Mrs. May Croyle Bud-
inger and the words written by Miss
Ellie M. Quirk, both of Snow Shoe.
Though it has just been published and
is on sale at music stores it was sung
from the manuscript at Atlantic City
last summer and made quite a hit.
Mrs. Budinger has published sever-
al songs, the most successful up to the
time “Somebody Said,” having been
“Twilight Time.” She is a musician
of unusual talent, organist in the
Methodist church in Snow Shoe and
| devoted to her art.
