Ordinarily farmers are cutting wheat by the Fourth of July and sometimes a day or two earlier, but this is the sixteenth and while some farmers have started harvesting the bulk of the cutting will be done next week. The lateness of the harvesting enabled most of the farmers to get their hay in. Clover was-an unusually short crop but the yield «of timethy was from fair to good, with the yield from some fields “in the county above the average. —— Flying westward on Wednes- day night of last week pilot Harry A. Chandler, with the night mail from New York to Chicago, ran into a heavy fog bank in the Woodward Narrows and was compelled to fly at a high altitude te escape hitting the moun- tain tops.

After flying around for some minutes he dropped a parachute flare but it was swallow- ed up in the fog so the pilot turned east and flew back to Sunbury where ‘he made a safe landing on the emer- gency field. With the break of day the fog rose and Chandler took to the air and continued his trip westward. SERIOUS RAILROAD WRECK ON MONDAY EVENING. Passenger Train Runs Inte Open Switch at “Y,” Engine Topples Over. A serious train wreck occurred in the Bellefonte yards, on Monday evening, when the passenger train into an open switch at the “Y” with the rails and toppled over on its side, the baggage car was partially de- railed but the two coaches stuck to the rails and were not damaged in the least. : Howard Casper, of Bellefonte, fire- man of the locomotive, was more or less injured and J. W. Harris, engi- neer, was slightly injured and suffer- ed from shock, and they were the only persons hurt in the wreck. The two bruise. Just who is to blame for the wreck is a matter that the company will have to determine after a thorough investigation. From reliable sources it was learned that the shifting engine and crew had pulled in onto the “Y” from the main track, stopned at the water tank for water then run on up on the north leg of the Y. The switch was open for the Y and locked, the main track. The passenger train was running at a speed of approximately thirty- five miles an hour and apparently neither the engineer nor the firemen saw the red light signal for an open switch until they were almost upon it. It was too late to stop or do anything to avert the wreck which followed. The big engine took the switch into the Y but at the speed it was travel- ing was unable to hold its balance on the rails on the sharp curve and by the time it reached the tank was listed so heavily to the left side that it struck one of the heavy iron supports of the water tank and bent it in a foot or more, and knocked loose the big water spout from the tank. After passing the tank the locomotive left the rails and ran probably eighty feet before it toppled over on its left side. When firemen Casper realized that the engine was going he jumped, and in doing so was thrown, being found some thirty feet away. Engineer Harris stuck to his eab and by holding to the window saved being thrown lout. Fortunately the cab was not crushed and when the engine came to rest on its side the engineer was able to step out of the cab and was hunting for the firemen when people living nearby reached the scene of the wreck. - When the engine listed heavily. to the left the coupling broke between the tender and the baggage coach which naturally threw on the air and brakes. As it was however, the train ran almost a car length after the engine fell over. The front truck of the baggage car was derailed but the two coaches stuck to the rails. Pas- sengers in the coaches heard the crash when the locomotive struck the water tank and realizing they were in a wreck braced themselves for any im- pact that might follow, and while the sudden throwing on of the air gave the coaches a hard jolt it was not suf- ficient to throw any of the passengers from their seats. Both the engineer and firemen were taken to the Centre County hospital and a switching crew and engine pulled the two coaches out onto the main track, after the mail and ex- press matter had been transferred from the baggage car into the front end of the forward coach, and the coaches not being damaged in the least, the train, an hour and a half late, proceeded on its way fo Lock Haven in charge of the regular con- ductor, William McLaughlin. Two Prisoners Escaped on Sunday, Both Recaptured Yesterday. George W. Wilson, 36 years old, and J. D. Lord, aged 45, colored inmates at Reckview penitentiary, where they had been employed as teamsters, went to the prison barn on Sunday morn- ing to groom their horses, and that was the last time Wilson or Lord was seen at Rockview. They were missed at nine o'clock in the morning and an investigation showed that the horses had not been groomed at all. Wilson was an Allegheny county inmate, having been sent up for two and a half to five years for burglary. Lord received like sentence in Beaver county for breaking and entering. On Sunday afternoon a report was sent to penitentiary officers that two men believed to be escaped prisoners had been seen in the vicinity of Linden Hall, but guards sent there failed to get any trace of them. They were both caught yesterday morning down Pennsvalley, between the Old Fort and Spring Mills on what is known as Indian lane. They had stuck close to Nittany mountain during the four days they were at large until driven forth by hunger, and both men, who had stuck together, thought they were many miles away from the prison grounds. — Miss Edrie Walker entertained a number of her friends at a five hun- dred party, on Tuesday evening, and made it the occasion of the announce- ment of her engagement to Wilmer G.

Takes About $250 from Till. | A Suspect Arrested. | | About ten o'clock on Tuesday night the cash in the till of the Eberts store "at Martha Furnace, and her husband . | | was in the wareroom at the rear, a | | masked man walked into the store and the result that the big engine left | poy Killed by Tractor, Near Aarons- pulling a gun called upon Mrs. Eberts | to throw up her hands. Instead of ; complying she ran to the rear and into the wareroom calling to her husband | hat the store was being robbed. Mr. Eberts made a dash for the front room and found the masked man behind the counter helping him- self to the contents of the till. -The robber drew his gun on Mr. Eberts “and demanded, “put ’em up,” but in- | stead of doing so the latter ran be- coaches carried sixty or more passen- tempted to make a turn on a rather "hind the counter and made for the gers and not one of them was bumped steep hillside when the tractor upset ! burglar. When he got within reach hard enough to cause a laceration or and rolled over five times. The boy | the latter planted a solid blow on Eberts chin which dropped him to the ‘floor and with the remark, “you got i off easy; I might have shot you in- stead of knocking you on the chin,” { the robber ran from the store and de- liberately walked up the main road ; until he was lost in the darkness. 1 When Mrs. Eberts ran into the wareroom she ran out the back door and hurrying to the nearest tele- phone called Mrs. Thompson Henry and told her that their store was being robbed. Mrs. Henry promptly called her husband, who was attending a i board meeting at the Centre County hospital, and the latter notified sheriff Taylor. The latter, with policeman | Dukeman and several others hastened ‘to Martha but the robber had com- pletely disappeared. | Mrs. Eberts gave it as her opinion that the robber was a young man by the name of Newman, from Werth township, who has already done time for larceny, but though the officers searched high and low for him on Wednesday he could not be found. On Saturday night some person gained entrance to the passenger sta- tion at Port Matilda by shooting the lock off of the door, and though he ransacked the place pretty thoroughly he succeeded in getting only 72 cents. It is just possible it was the same man who robbed the Eberts store on Tuesday night. Just as the Watchman was going to press yesterday a report was re- ceived that Newman was caught over in Clearfield and Centre county offi- cers went over to bring him to Belle- fonte. On Sunday night register Harry A. Rossman and family were returning from a motor trip to Tyrone and down at the old Central Railroad of Penn- sylvania roundhouse he saw a car standing by .the. side of: the road, a man with a gun and another man with his hands high above his head. Be- lieving it a holdup he tramped on the gas and lost no time , getting into Bellefonte.” The incident, however, proved to be penitentiary guards on the hunt of the prisoners who escaped on Sunday morning. They stopped and searched all cars going from Bellefonte but did not molest those coming in. Pet Parrot Enjoyed Three Days of : Liberty. Last Thursday afternoon Mrs. R. C. Witmer took her pet parrot from its cage and placed it on the grape- vine in the rear of her home on High street while she cleaned the cage. The cage done to her satisfaction she reached for the parrot to replace it in the cage but “pretty Polly” eluded her grasp and taking wing flew over the buildings and took lodging in one of the trees near the residence of Miss Myra Humes, on Allegheny street. All attempts to coax Polly down during the afternoon and late into the night proved fruitless. By Friday morning the parrot had changed its place of abode to cne of the trees at the corner of the Valentine property, on Spring street. There another at- tempt was made to capture it, but the bird again took flight. On Saturday morning .it was located out on the north end of Reynolds avenue and once more members of the Witmer family tried to catch it but it eluded them. Saturday afternoon it appear- ed on the top of a tall tree on Wil- lowbank street, just beyond the hos- pital grounds, and that evening and up till midnight every conceivable means were used to coax it down or capture it, but the bird had taken lodging on the tip-end of one of the topmost branches where it was im- possible to get at it. Early Sunday morning two little girls went out to look for Polly and discovered her sitting on the ground under the tree. They walked right up to the bird and picked her up without any attempt at resistance, and the Witmer family was promptly notified. The parrot evidently had been driven to the ground from hunger and was probably tired of its roaming life. Festival at Unionville. Lady Union Rebekah Lodge of Unionville will hold a festival in Grange hall at that place, tomorrow, Saturday, evening, to which the pub- lic is very cordially invited. They will serve home-made ice cream, cake, pies, hot sandwiches and other delectable refreshments and as Unionville women are famous for their pastries and hospitality this will be a festival where good eats and a good time are certain.
