Story of Auto Accident in which Two
Were Killed.
A brief item in last week’s Watch-
man told of two people being killed
on the concrete highway between
Sandy Ridge and Bald Eagle, last
Wednesday night, particulars of
which are as follows:
Following a birthday celebration in
Tyrone Charles Miller, Mrs. Emma
Rose Kniper, Paul Miles, Miss Mary
Smith, Clarence Parsons and Mrs.
Paul Miles left Tyrone about eleven
o'clock at night to take a drive in a
big Oldsmobile. They went to Hi-
Vue, on the top of the mountain,
where they turned around and start-
ed on the homeward drive. Now it
just happened that Prof. John Brack-
en, of the landscape gathering de-
partment, of Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, was on his way to Clearfield in a
Ford car, and not far from the foot
of the mountain he saw the big car
coming down the highway at a pretty
high speed and as a matter of safety
for himself he pulled as far to the
side of the road as he could.
Bit the bi» car sideswiped the
Ford car, and not far from the foot
it plunged over the embankment,
striking a pine tree with force enough
to snap it off at the ground and hurl
it fifteen feet away. The big car then
struck another pine tree, turned com-
pletely over and landed right side up,
a mass of wreckage. The six occa-
pants of the car were thrown out, the
driver, Charles Miller, and Mrs.
Kniper, being caught beneath the car
and instantly killed. Miller’s skull
was fractured and Mrs. Kniper’s head
split open. Miss Mary Smith sustain-
ed bad cuts on the face and injuries
on the back and legs; Paul Miles, was
slightly bruised and cut; Clarence
Parsons had cuts on the arms and legs
while Mrs. Paul Miles was uninjured.
Prof. Bracken escaped injuries but his
car was damaged. Passing motorists
took the dead and injured to Tyrone.
Miller, one of the killed, was 41 years
old and a native of Bald Eagle. Mrs.
Kniper was only 23 years old.
Westmoreland County Man Dies in
Electric Chair.
Angelo Cicere, of Westmoreland
county, was electrocuted at Rockview
penitentiary on Monday morning for
the murder of Earl Shoup on July 4th,
1922. Cicere, who was forty years
old, was a shoemaker in Loyalhanna.
On the evening of the day of the mur-
der he started out to celebrate the
Fourth. - He had some drinks and-fin-
ally drifted into 'the Atlantic club,
where he got into an altercation. Earl
Shoup, president of the club, inter-
vened and Cicere drew his revolver
and shot him dead. His only defense
was that he had been celebrating the
Fourth and tht he thought Shoup
had a gun and he shot in self-defense.
After his first conviction an appeal
was taken to the Supreme court which
granted a new trial and Cicere was
again: convicted of first degree mur-
der. His case was before the Su-
preme court twice, the Board of Par-
dons four times and he had been
granted six respites. The first date for
his electrocution was June 29th, 1925,
Land the Saturday previous he was
brought to the death house by Sheriff
Fightner. Just as the sheriff and his
prisoner arrived there a message was
received from Harrisburg that Cicere
had been granted a respite and was to
be taken back to Westmoreland coun-
ty. His second trial followed.
From the time Cicere was brought
to the death house last Saturday un-
til he was taken to the electric chair
he was in a dazed condition, eating
little and sleeping little. He was at-
tended to the chair by Father
O’Hanlon, of State College. The body
was unclaimed and was buried in the
penitentiary cemetery.
Bellefonte Down to Third Place.
By losing an eleven inning game
to Jersey Shore, last Thursday, Belle-
fonte dropped back to third place in
the Susquehanna league. It was a
hard game to lose and for several
days after the catastrophe fans were
playing the game over just to show
how it could have been avoided, but
that didn’t count in the score. Both
teams played good ball but the breaks
favored the visitors and they were
able to take advantage of every one.
This is evident from the fact that Jer-
sey Shore had five errors while Belle-
fonte had but two, but those two
proved costly ones for the home team.
On Saturday Bellefonte journeyed
to Lock Haven but rain put an end to
the game after two innings had been
played. The standing of the clubs
to date is as follows:

——All of the eighteen bids sub-

the budget.
Aree
About nine o'clock Monday
evening Paul Young was driving up
High street in a Ford runabout. Just
as he was crossing Spring street a car
came out from the north on that
thorofare and hit him a wallop that
sent’ the Ford spinning half-way
across High street. The offending car
never stopped. Paul did, however.
His right rear wheel was knocked
clear off and his car otherwise bat-
tered by the impact which sounded
like the explosion of a big gun.

Centre Game, Fish and Forestry As-
sociation, of Philipsburg, for the
construction of a big fish dam (n the
Black Moshannon, and now all that
is necessary to assure the building
of the dam is the raising of about two
thousand dollars to bear the expense
of same. But this should be a mere
bagatelle to the enthusiastic sports-
men over the mountain and we an-
ticipate hearing in the near future
that the money has been raised and
work on the dam started. ;

Because July 4th falls on Sun-

as the legal holiday; and the big
picnic of the Logan fire company, at
Hecla park, will be the only celebra-
tion in this vicinity. Bellefonters,
naturally, will flock to the park, as it
is an ideal place to spend a day and in
addition the Logans deserve the pat-
ronage of every Bellefonte resident.
They are always ready to respond to
every call for help and now when
there is a chance to help them it
should be done. One of the big at-
tractions will be the ball game in the

years practical experience anc four
vears technical training in tre: cul-

Mr. Spigelmyer Retires from Mem-
bership in The Variety Shop.
Effective yesterday the firm of G.
R. Spigelmyer & Co., proprietors of
: The Variety Shop, in Crider’s Ex-
change, was dissolved, Mr. Spigel-
' myer retiring and in the future the
business will be conducted by Honier
'P. Barnes. Mr. Spigelmyer, who has
attained his four score years, is one of
the oldest merchants in Centre county.
As a young man he engaged in busi-
ness at Hartleton and later at Spring
Mills and following a successful ca-
reer there came to Bellefonte and on
! January 1st, 1889, opened up The
| Racket store in Crider’s Exchange.
It was a strictly one price, cash store
and the business grew rapidly until
it took up three rooms in the Ex-
change building, with a rear ware
room and basements. ;
In fact it grew beyond Mr. Spigel-
myer’s resources and he closed out
and started The Variety Shop which he
has conducted quite successfully ever
since. Thirty-five years ago, or in
1891, Homer P. Barnes, then a boy in
his teens, went into the store as a
clerk and continued in that capacity
until 1910 when he was made a junior
partner. His close and strict atten-
tion to the details of the business has
been rewarded by his becoming the
sole proprietor.
Mr. Spigelmyer’s retirement does
not mean that he intends leaving
Bellefonte or retiring to a quiet life.
He will still be seen around The
Variety Shop, where for a time, at
least, he will look after the books and
help out in any way he can.
