President of Philipsburg Brewery to
Get a New Trial.
A recent ruling of Judge Keller has
granted Edward C. Beezer, head of
the Philipsburg Brewing Co., a new
trial. It will be remembered that the
officials and some of the employees of
the company were tried last December
for having beer in their brewery. At
the time Mr. Beezer insisted on hav-
ing his case tried alone because he
was president of the concern and if
the law had been violated regarded
himself as solely responsible and did
not want the others to suffer for his
acts. Accordingly all his co-partners
and the employees were tried in one
action and promptly acquitted. Then
another jury heard exactly the same
evidence and convicted Mr, Beezer.. .
No charges were made of manufac-
turing, selling or transporting the
beer. The case was based solely on
the fact that beer was in the brewery.
There were thousands of gallons
there, made under a government per-
mit that was later revoked and the
brewery officials were apparently
without authority to dispose of it in
any way.

Claude Irwin accidentally struck aged
D. A. McGarry, of New Millport, and
injured him so badly that he died in
the Clearfield hospital an hour later.
It is said that Mr. Irwin was in no-
wise to blame as he did everything
possible to avoid the accident. Me-
Garry was walking across the street,
had passed in front of Irwin’s car,

New Preacher Chosen for Graysville
Charge. 1s
At a congregational meeting held
in the Presbyterian church at Grays-
viile, on Tuesday evening, Rev. H. C.
Minnick was elected as pastor to fill
the vacancy caused by the recent
resignation of Rev. H. D. Flem-
ing to accept a student pastorate in
Lancaster. Rev. Minnick is a Mifflin
county man but during the past three
years has been a member of the Iowa
Presbytery. He comes to Graysville
highly recommended. Rev. Fleming,
who recently resigned, succeeded Rev.
R. M. Campbell, who filled the charge

One More Prisoner Gets Away from
Rockview.
Jack Gold, a Crawford county pris-
oner, made his escape from Rockview
penitentiary some time between three
and five o'clock on Wednesday after-
noon, but his departure was not known
until checking up time in the evening.
Gold worked in the tailor shop and as
a guard’s blue coat is missing it is
supposed that he wore the coat and
passed out without attracting atten-
tion from the other guards.
Gold was serving a term of three to
six years for larceny, breaking and
entering and receiving stolen goods.
He is 29 years old, 5 feet 7% inches
tall and weighs 175 pounds. He is
medium dark complexioned, dark hair,
light brown eyes and has a prominent
nose.
While out for a spin on his mo-
torcycle on the state highway in the
Glades, on Monday, Waren Gummo,
son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gummo, of
Fairbrook, was badly injured when his
machine skidded and threw him into
a wire fence. He sustained a frac-
tured jaw and bad lacerations of the
face and scalp as well as body bruises.
Dr. Woods rendered first aid after
which he was brought to the Centre
County hospital.

Grange Park Now Ready for the
Campers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
53rd annual encampment and fair of
Centre county Pomona Grange will
not formally open until Saturday of
next week, August 23 to September 3,
the grounds of the Grange, at Centre
Hall, are all in condition and ready
for the campers.
Tent erection began last week.
With three exceptions—in each case
due to family illness—the campers of
1925 have retained their tents for the
coming encampment. Many others,
owning tents or securing them else-
where, have signified their intention
of camping on Grange park. So that
the number of campers each year in-
creases, and the committee hope to
make each camper comfortable and
- happy—those new to them as well as
. the old friends.
i Some changes, demanded by the
‘growth of the Encampment, have
| been made in tent arangement, giving
| more clear space for rest and recrea-
tion in the centre of the camp.
It is hoped the difficulty arising
from the necessity of choosing a new
location, will be pleasantly adjusted.
A ‘set of rules have been formulated,
governing the camp, and these rules,
necessary for the comfort and well be-
ing of each and every camper, can be
found in the premium book. It is the
desire of the committee that campers
co-operate in the observance of these
rules.
A change in the ticket system will
be made, and no admissions without
ticket. Admission charges remain the
‘same: b50 cents, 14 years of age and
over, good for the week. The ticket
will be a book ticket, and to those
wishing to leave the camp and return
it will be absolutely necessary to se-
cure a passout check at the gate as
the ticket for that day will be taken
on entrance to the gates.
Some entirely new features are be-
ing planned, which will add material-
ly to the entertainment of the people.
Among them are a number of new
rides.
A much larger number of exhibit-
ors than heretofore have asked for
space.
Five Granges are preparing plays
for presentation in the auditorium as
evening entertainments.
TROOPERS TO STAGE RODEO.
A new feature for the Grange En-
campment and fair may be an exhi-
bition of horseback riding by members
of Bellefonte Troop B, 52nd Machine
Gun Squadron. The troopers have
been doing very exceptional riding on
the training field in Bellefonte, and
after coming back from their encamp-
ment at Mt. Gretna their skill in
horsemanship will. be more perfect
than heretofore. Definite information
as to when the rodeo will be held will
be given next week.
Grange Leadership Conference at
Centre Hall this Week,
Preliminary to the big fair and en-
campment to be held at Grange park,
Centre Hall, a Grange leadership con-
ference is being held there this week,
which opened on Tuesday and woll
close today. In the neighborhood of
two hundred delegates, men and wom-
en prominent in Grange work, have
i been in attendance.
Speakers on the program during
the week included R. G. Bressler, W.
R. Gordon, C. E. Fox and E. H. Rohr-
beck, all of State College; R. W. Dun-
lap, assistant secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C.; L. H. Dennis,
of Harrisburg, deputy superintendent
of public instruction; A. M. Loomis,
of the National Grange; P. H. Dewey,
master of the State Grange; J. H.
Light, State lecturer; C. M. Gardner,
Springfield, Ohio; Mrs. Dora H.

Mayes Family Reunion.
The third annual reunion of the
Mayes family was held at the J. W.
Fleisher home, at Lamar, Clinton
county, on August 8th. Nearly one
hundred of the clan were present to
enjoy the family fellowship as well as
the fine program of music and the din-
ner served on the lawn.
Representatives of the various
branches of the family were there
from Bellefonte, Lock Haven, Mill
Hall, Oak Hall, Salona, Snydertown,
Zion, Akron, Ohio; Huntingdon and
Lamar, proving that though they are
widely scattered they enjoy their an-
nual get-togethers.
——The past week has not been a
good one for baseball. The game in
Bellefonte last Thursday was post-
poned on account of rain and on Sat-
urday Bellefonte played a six inning
game with Snow Shoe, the score being
8 to 2, but as it was not a league
game it will not count in the local
team’s standing. As the season of the
Susquehanna league will close on
Labor day, September 6th, there are
only a little over two weeks in which
to play, and it is quite certain that
all of the postponed games will never
be played.
—-E. H. Zimmerman, Millheim
lumberman, is now engaged in buying
up apple trees in the orchards
throughout Pennsvalley that the own-
ers wish to dispense with. The trees
are cut up and sawed into logs, then
shipped to Disston & Co., Philadel-
phia, the big saw manufacturers,
where they are thoroughly dried then
made into saw handles.
Bush Meeting Near Coburn a Spirited
Revival.
The bush meeting now being held
by the Millheim charge of the Evan-
gelical church, in Zerby’s grove, south
of Coburn, has aroused much interest
and proven a spiritual revival of the
faith.
The meetings began Wednesday
evening when Rev. W. W. Dayton, of
Spring Mills, had charge. Last even-
ing Rev. W. E. Smith, of Centre Hall,
led. Tonight, at 7:45, Rev. W. L.
Kaubel, of Loganton, will be the
preacher. Tomorrow evening Rev. L
K. Baker, of Rebersburg, will preach.
Sunday will be a full day at the
meeting. It will open with Sunday
school at 9:30. At 10:30 “Echoes from
the Sunday school and E. L. C. E. con-
ventions” will be heard from H. D.
Krape, the returned delegate. A sa-
cred concert will be played by the Co-
burn orchestra, at 1:30. At 2:30 Rev.
Reed O. Steely, of Bellefonte, will ad-
dress the gathering. At 6:30 E. L. C.
E. and at 7:30 the sermon in dedica-
tion of the building.
This is the fourth annual meeting
and the second for this season. All
of them have been exceedingly inspir-
ing and much comment has been heard
as to their spiritual value.
All are invited and will be made
welcome at the meetings yet to be
held.
Little Girl Swept Through Under-
ground Channel of Mill Race.
Nine year old Mary Quici, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Quici, of this
place, had a thrilling experience last
Saturday morning that might have
resulted in her death.
With some little companions she
had gone to swim in the sluice way
that flows from the foot of the race
that supplies the Mayer mill with wa-
ter power. The race was being
dredged at the time and the sluice-
way was open with the result that a
swift current was running through it.
Mary got caught in the curent and
was carried through its underground
course a distance of 100 yards or
more.
Harry Saylor, attracted by the
screams of her companions, ran to the
outlet of the race into Spring creek,
and when she came through dragged
her out in a strangling condition.
She was taken home and in a little
while showed no ill effects of the
frightful experience.
Johnson—Taylor.—On Friday morn-
ing of last week George Johnson, son
of Mrs. Anna Johnson, of Valentine
street, and Miss Margaret Taylor,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Taylor, of Willowbank street, Belle-
fonte, were united in marriage in the
Evangelical church, at 8 o'clock, by
their pastor, the Rev. Reed O. Steely.
The beautiful ring ceremony was
used. Joseph Johnson, a brother of
the groom, and Eleanor Chandler at-
tended the couple. After the ceremo-
ny a sumptuous wedding breakfast
was served at the home of the bride.
Mr. Johnson is a clerk in the Potter-
Hoy Hardware company store, while
Mrs. Johnson has been an operator in
the local office of the Bell Telephone
company. The happy couple left on
the ten o’clock train west, to spend
their honeymoon in Akron, Ohio, and
upon their return will take up house-
keeping in Bellefonte.
Stephens—Ream.— William A. Ste-
phers, of Mifflinburg, but now residing
in Ferguson township, and Mrs. Helen
B. Ream, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Sents, of the Branch, were
married in Bellefonte on Saturday by
Rev. Kilpatrick, rector of St. John’s
Episcopal church. The bridegroom
during the summer has been C. M.
Dale’s assistant on the farm and both
he and his bride are well known in
that locality. For the present they
will make their home with the bride’s
parents. or
Tressler Orphans’ Home Band Plays
Delightful Concert.
The boys band of the Tressler Or-
phans’ Home played a fine concert in
the plaza at the rear of the Court
house here on Wednesday evening.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather more than a thousand people
gathered to hear the youthful musi-
cians under the direction of Prof.
Howard Ellsworth Leisinger.
The organization is on its twelfth
annual tour and, as on former appear-
ances in Bellefonte, delighted the
great audience that greeted it.
A free-will offering that amounted
to $145.00 was lifted during the course
of the concert.

Waite Lifter the iceman drives her to the

her off to Hollywood and fame. Arrived
there after some amusing episodes on the
train, she finds that there is no demand
for contest winners. By a ruse she crashes
into a studio, is chased out but persists,
gets mixed up in the sets and finally gets
into a picture accidentally. She proves so
effective that they give her a contract.
Waite Lifter, really a millionaire’s son,
goes to Hollywood and finds her scrubbing
a station platform. Sorry for her poverty,
he proposes only to be told that she was
only acting for the camera. She accepts
him, however, and all is well. ’

boy by her ship captain father and her
ideas on romance are gleaned from dime
novels lent to her by the old ship's cook.

« PARIS AT MIDNIGHT"
With Lionel Barrymore and Mary Brian.
The scenes of the picture are laid in the
student’s quarter of Paris. Every reader
of “Pere Glorit” will recognize the board-
ing house of Madam Vauquier, in which
Balzac, Dumas and other French writers
of note were wont to gather. Vautrin,
“the man of mystery,” who acts as the
good angel for several of the characters,
played by Lionel Barrymore, supplies in-
tense dramatic interest because.of the half
dozen or so disguises he assumes. The
students’ ball, with its various features,
doubtless will be acclaimed as one of the
best functions of the kind ever screened.

“BACHELOR BRIDES”
Rod La Rocque and Julia Fay.
Percy Ashfield, young British peer, is in
love with Mary Bowing, daughter of an
American millionaire. Lady Ashfield,
Percy’s mother, offers to bestow the famed
family jewels on the bride and takes them
from the safe for the purpose. While
they are awaiting the arrival of a detective
who is to guard the gems, a strange girl
bursts in with a babe in her arms and ac-
cuses Percy of being the father of her
child by a secret marriage. He denies this
and another stranger, claiming to be a
doctor identifies the girl as an escaped
lunatic. The pearls, meanwhile, have been
stolen, but are later replaced. Then the
detective arrives and informs them that
their lives are in danger as there is a
desperate axe killer in the neighbohrood.
The mystery is cleared up in the end and
it developes that the doctor and the girl
with the baby are a pair of crooks. The
