' TWO FATAL ACCIDENTS
IN THE COUNTY.
Linn Ertley, Young Marion Township
Farmer, Accidentally Killed —
Potter Township Child Who
Had Wandered onto the
Railroad Track Cut
in Twain.
Lynn M. Ertley, a young farmer
residing near Jacksonville in little
Nittany valley, was killed by the ac-
cidental discharge of his own gun
shortly after nine o’clock on Sunday
morning. For some time past hawks
have been preying upon the Ertley
chickens and on Saturday Mr. Ertley
was successful in shooting one. On
Sunday morning the family made pre-
parations to go to church, as was
their usual custom, and Mr. Ertley
had driven the car around in front of
the house when he espied a big hawk
circling over his flock of chickens.
Going into the house he secured his
shot gun and telling his wife he was
going to try and shoot the hawk left
the house, going up around the barn.
Mrs. Ertley continued her prepara-
tions for going to church and some
minutes after her husband left heard
the report of his gun and naturally
supposed he had shot at a hawk. Fail-
ing to return to the house within
a reasonable time Mrs. Ertley natur-
ally supposed her husband was watch-
ing for more hawks and felt no con-
cern over his absence.
But when the noon hour approached
and he did not come back she and her
little girls started out to see if they
could locate him and not far from the
barn they found him lying cold in
death. From all indications Mr. Ertley
had attempted to crawl over a wire
fence, had slipped and fallen and the
gun in some way was accidentally dis-
charged, the shot" striking him
in the left side close to the heart,
causing instant death. The gun was
lying on the opposite side of the fence
from the barn with the muzzle point-
ing toward his body, which
would indicate that when the man
realized he was falling he threw the
gun and the hammer may have struck
a stone which caused the discharge.
Mr. Ertley was a son of George and
Annie Ertley and was born at Jack-
sonville. Had he lived until Novem-
ber he would have been 33 years old.
He married Miss Martha Vonada who
survives with three young daughters,
Isabel, Violet and Rosella. He also
leaves his parents, three brothers and
a sister, Guyer, Paul and Deemer Ert-
ley, all at home and Mrs. Walter
Dailey, of Altoona.
. He was a member af the Reformed
church and Rev." J. M. Moyer had
charge of the funeral services which
were held on Wednesday afternoon,
burial being made in the Jacksonville
cemetery. i
DEAN BARGER KILLED ON RAILROAD
Dean William Barger, young son of
Mr. and Mrs. Hobart Barger, who live
on a farm near the Penn Cave station
on the Lewisburg branch of the Penn-
sylvania railroad, wandered away
from the house, last Saturday after-
noon, and got onto the railroad track
with the tragical result that it was
run down and killed by the passenger
train east, the -child’s body being
completely severed.
The Bargers live about a quarter of
a mile from the railroad and the child
had traveled that distance without
its absence being discovered by the
mother. There is a slight curve where
the accident took place and the road
runs through a shallow cut. Engineer
William McCollum was at the throttle
and he could just see the top of a mov-
ing object in the cut but because of
the curve in the road was not able to
tell what it was or whether it was on
the track or alongside of it. As he
rounded the curve into the cut he was
horrified to discover that the object
was a little boy standing on the track
facing the oncoming train. The engi-
neer threw on the air and blew the
whistle in the hope that the child would
be frightened from the track, but he
never moved, and as it was impossible
to stop the train the lad was knocked
down and crushed to death.
This is the second child of Mr. and
Mrs. Barger to meet death on the
railroad and almost at the same spot.
On November 13th, 1923, Eugene Ho-
bart Barger, eighteen months old,
wandered onto the track and was kill-
ed by a west-bound train.
Dean William Barger was 3 years,
3 months and 3 days old and in addi-
tion to the parents a young sister and
brother survives. Funeral services
were held at the home on Tuesday
afternoon by Rev. S. F. Greenhoe,
burial being made in the Georges Val-
ley cemetery.
PINE GLEN NATIVE KILLED IN HIS
OWN GARAGE IN BALTIMORE.
William C. Hipple, formerly a well
known resident of Pine Glenn, this
county, met a tragic death in his gar-
age in Baltimore, Md., about nine
o’clock last Monday night. He was
walking in the dark on the third floor
of the building and stepped into an
open shaft; falling to the basement
and sustained a broken neck.
Deceased was a son of William Hip-
ple Sr., of Pine Glen, and was born
there 55 years ago. He went to Balti-
more to go into the ice business, but
later bought a large garage and was
conducting it with marked success.
He was married twice, his first wife
having been a sister of N. B. Spangler
Esq., of this place. He is survived by
his second wife, his parents and four
brothers, one of whom, Charles re-
sides at Pine Glenn.
The Centre County Bank Case Argued BOROUGH COUNCIL :
at Harrisburg Tuesday.
The postponed argument on the new
litigation instituted in the Centre
County bank case was made before |
Judge Albert W. Johnson in Harris-
burg, on Tuesday. -
The proceeding was on the motion
to dismiss the petition of Geo. A.,
Beezer, Geo. H. Yarnell and Josephine
Grenoble. The latter had petitioned
the Federal court to adjudge the Cen-
tre County Baking Co., and its part-
ners, individually, bankrupts. The
object apparently is to take the settle-
ment of the bank’s affairs out of the
control of the Centre county courts,
where it now is, and put it back into
the hands of the Federal court. The
petition prayed that Florence F. Dale, | Department will hereafter file with all
Andrew Breese and Geo. R. Meek, al-
leged partners, be individually adjudi-
cated bankrupts. In defense of them-
selves they moved that it be dismissed.
The argument, Tuesday, was only
on this motion. The Hon. Ellis L.
Orvis appeared for the three defend-
ants. Mr, Hull, a Harrisburg at-
torney, associated with John G. Love
Esq., counsel for Messrs. Beezer, Yar-
nell, et al, appeared for the petition-
ers.
After discussing the questions of
law involved for an hour and a half
the Court directed both attorneys to
present their argument in writing and
volunteered sufficient time for it which
was fixed at four weeks, there being
no objection on either side.
This will be done at a later date.
Then Judge Johnson will review the
case and make his ruling. If he de-
cides not to grant the petition to dis-
i
|
i
‘
i
Reynolds Shope were present to inter-
miss the present proceeding he will |
direct that Mrs. Dale, Andrew Breese
and Geo. R. Meek file an answer to it
showing couse why they should not be
adjudicated bankrupts, which would
necessarily result in more tedious
litigation.
If he should decide to dismiss the
petition then the present receivers can
go ahead, untrammeled, with their
work of winding up the bank’s affairs.
Y. M. C. A. Membership Drive Next
Week.
The stage is all set for the big
membership drive of the Bellefonte
Y. M. C. A, which will start on Mon-
day, September 27th, and continue
until the evening of the 30th. Just
four days of intensive work in going
after 750 members and $3000 in cash,
and there is no reason why the goal
should not be reached.
The Y should be the community
centre in Bellefonte. It is centrally
located and has advantages that no
other club in town has to offer its
membership. The bowling alleys,
shower baths, gymnasium, library,
ete., are all privileges that go with a
membership. Can any one afford not
to belong? bw
The Young Men’s Christian Asso-
ciation is maintained for men, not for
money. It’s chief aim is to build char-
acter, and those in charge of the Belle-
fonte Y are striving to accomplish
that object. Will you help them?
The General Secretary is planning
for a bigger and better program the
coming year than ever before. He
can do it providing he has the mem-
bership and funds to work with. It
will be the privilege of the good peo-
ple of Bellefonte to supply both.
Therefore, let’s put it over—750
members and $3000 in cash.
W. T. Twitmire will Celebrate Eight-
ieth Anniversary Tomorrow.
Wilbur T. Twitmire, one of Belle-
fonte’s best known business men, will

reunion and a dinner at the Nittany
tea room at which twenty-eight

dition to Mr. and Mrs. Twitmire, will

and three children, of Millersville,
their son-in-law, Willis Herr and
grandson Wilbur; Alton A. Twitmire,
of Bradley Beach, with his daughter,
Miss Nellie. His wife is ill and son in
Missouri, and they are the only mem-
bers of the family who will be absent.
Joseph A. Twitmire, wife and daugh-
ter Betty, of Sunbury; Dr. Wilbur D.
Twitmire, wife and three sons, of
Lancaster, and Philip D. Waddle, of
Sunbury, a son-in-law, will make up

gathering.

have a liberal patronage.
HAD LONG SESSION. ;
State Highway Presents Proposition
for Wider Streets.
Just six members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil, on Monday evening, and they had
a busy time of it. District engineer
N. A. Staples and William J. Carroll,
of the State Highway department,
were present and made a proposition
for the widening of Bishop street,
south Spring and Pine streets. Mr.
Staples stated that with the constant
increase in automobile traffic the De-
partment had started planning for the
future when wider highways will be
an absolute necessity. To this end the
municipalities and counties through
which roads are built a claim for a
right of way eighty feet in widlth.
And the same kind of a claim will be
filed in connection with highways
already built and maintained by
the State. In Bellefonte the streets
that should be widened are Bishop,
south Spring and Pine streets. Of
course, it is not proposed to do so at
once, and the work may be years
ahead, but the Department desires to
confer with borough officials in re-
gard to the matter and the question
was referred to the Street committee,
borough engineer and borough solic-
itor.
Joseph Hazel, Harry Keeler and W.
cede for a sewer extension on east
Logan street, and the matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee and
the borough engineer.
George C. Bingaman asked for a
street grade on east Curtin street as
he is ready to put down a pavement in
front of his new residence. He also
asked that the alley be opened in the
rear of his property to enable him to
get in to the garage he is erecting
on the rear of his lot. Referred to the
Street committee.
A communication was received from
Orvis, Zerby & Dale stating that last
winter Miss Laura Wright fell on the
pavement in front of the property
of the late Charles Smith, on east
Bishop street, and injured herself, and
is now seeking to collect damages
from the borough therefor. This was
also referred to the Street committee
and borough solicitor.
Secretary Kelly presented the new
contract of the Keystone Power cor-
poration for furnishing electric cur-
rent for operating the pumps at the
water pumping station, the schedule
of prices to be 7.5 cents for the first
1st, 1926, for one year, with the option
of five years, but which can be termi-
nated at the end of any year by either
party by. giving sixty days notice
prior to September 1st. Action on the
contract was deferred until the next
meeting night.
The Keystone corporation also sug-
gested that “he borough take over the
collection of the water taxes in the
future, and this matter was referred
to the Water committee.
The Street committee reported the
laying of sewers on Curtin street,
Pike alley and Stony Batter. The
latter was an emergency job and was
done without authorization of council,
council passed a motion authorizing
the work. The committee also re-
ported the collection of $65.62 from
the Highway Department for use of
road roller.
The Water committee reported re-
pairs to pipes, the pump and tail race
at the Phoenix pumping station, and
the completion of the new fence. Mr.
Cunningham suggested that the
Street committee put a lock on the
gates in the fence and keep them
locked. The committee also reported
the collection of $368.80 from resi-
dents of east Bishop street for ex-
tension of the water line outside the
borough, $100 for old junk, $12.00 on
1923 water taxes and $70.00 on 1924
taxes.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes totaling $22,800,
and that a new note for $5,000 be ex-
ecuted to meet current bills, all of
which were authorized.
Mr. Flack, of the Fire and Police
committee, reported a demonstration
of a new traffic signal given in the
Diamond several weeks ago by the
Crouse-Hinds company, and suggested
that such a signal be erected at High
and Spring streets. The question was
discussed at some length and was then
referred back to the committee for
further investigation and report.
Bills totaling $6,566.00 were ap-
proved for payment after which coun-
cil adjourned.
