eration of the various bills* presented

Love. The list of traverse jurors for

the evidence was not of the kind for

carry him to the jail.
The next case was the Common-
wealth vs. Harry McCloskey, of
Liberty township, charged with illegal
possession and the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor. Prosecutor, Corp. A. R.
| Fox, of the state police. Case on trial
‘when the Watchman went to press.
i The grand jury made its final pre-
sentment on Wednesday forenoon, as
' follows:
| We passed upon thirty-one bills of indict-
ment, twenty-four of which were found
! true bills, six ignored and one bill with-
drawn by the district attorney.
| We visited the public buildings and find
: that a fire escape is needed at rear of jail
,and also that a place should be provided
for the women inmates.
That the wood-work should be painted
on the outside of the jail and flues should
| be repaired to keep the rain from running
; into the kitchen, and that windows should
‘ be replaced or repaired and mason work
around the windows should be pointed.
We also recommend that provisions be
made for more files in the Prothonotary’s
office and the Register’s office.
The trees should have the attentizn of
some good tree surgeon.
i The sanitary conditions of the court
house, as well as the jail, are in bad condi-
tion.
We recommend that the prisoners help
in both places and give it a good cleaning.
CERTAINLY NOT A SLAP AT SHERIFF
TAYLOR.
In reading the report of the grand
jury above some might infer that
sheriff Taylor has been negligent in
the care of the inside of the jail. We
do not believe that the grand jury in-
tended to convey any such an impres-
sion. Sheriff Taylor is one of the most
conscientious and painstaking officials
we have ever had in public office in
Centre county. The jail is as clean
as we have ever seen it and we visited
it yesterday right after we had read
the report. Its sanitary condition is
‘better than it has ever been, for only
a short time ago the Sheriff on his
own initiative, secured the permission
of the County Commissioners to place
a large ventilator in the roof of the
cell block and this has worked wonders
by way of keeping the air fresh and
pure in a building that was designed
without a thought of the problem of
carrying off the impurities bound to
be thrown off by humans in close con-
finement. It is our thought that when
the grand jury suggested that prison-
ers in the jail be used to clean both it
and the court house it was not imply-
ing that either building was then
dirty, because of negligence on the
part of those in control of them. Only
that prisoners might be used with
profit to the county and benefit to
themselves in occasional general
housecleanings such as we have in our
‘own homes.
Building Penitentiary Dam Proves a
Big Job.
The State forest and waters re-
sources board has granted Rockview
penitentiary permission to construct
an impounding dam on McBride’s run,
in McBride’s gap, for the purpose of
conserving the water supply for use
at the institution.
In this connection, it might be said,
' work on the dam is progressing nice-
ly, though the men in charge of the
rwork ran up against a proposition
they didn’t expect. In digging into
, the side of the mountain for space to
! put the anchor walls for the breast of
‘the dam the ledge of rock ran out a
! comparatively few feet below the sur-
! face and it was necessary to go down
; thirty-two feet to find sufficient solid
rock to hold the anchor walls.
——An airplane carrying pictures
of the Tunney—Dempsey prize fight
from Philadelphia to Cleveland, Ohio,
was forced down by rain and fog at
Cresson last Friday morning, A pas-
senger on the plane took the first
westbound train for Cleveland and in
, the afternoon the pilot was able to
“take to the air and return to Philadel-

CAPTURE MOST PRIZES.
Horse Show and Rodeo Attracted Big
Crowd but Rain Interfered.
About forty cavalrymen, the pick of
the riders and horses from the mount-
ed National Guard units at Lock
Haven, Tyrone, Boalsburg and Belle-
fonte, competed in the horse show and
rodeo held on the old fair grounds, last
Saturday afternoon, under the aus-
pices of Troop B, 52nd mounted ma-
chine gun batallion, of Bellefonte. And
Bellefonte riders captured most of the
prizes offered for stunt riding.
The show started at 2.30 o’clock,
with the I. O. O. F. band on the
ground to furnish the music. Quite a
large crowd was present and great in-
terest was manifested in the horses as
well as the riding until threatening
clouds appeared and a succession of
hard showers caused the crowd to dis-
perse and naturally put an end to the
riding stunts, as the rain and slippery
ground rendered it too dangerous for
the intrepid riders. However, before
the storm broke the cavalrymen were
‘able to execute a number of their most
difficult drills, giving jumping exhi-
, bitions, hurdle races and jumping
' through an arch of fire by horses an
men. The latter was a thrilling and
- spectacular act and was generously ap-
plauded by the crowd on the side lines.
Prizes for the riding stunts were
awarded as follows:
Officers class, a beautiful silver lov-
ing cup, Lieut. Donald W. Griffin.
Troop F, 108rd cavalry, Lock Haven.
| Non-Commissjioned officers class,
first prize, $15, Sergt. Brown, Troop
!'F, Lock Haven; second prize, $7.50,
Corp. Rex Lillidahl, Troop B, 52nd
machine gun batallion, Bellefonte.
Privates class, first prize, $10, Chas.
W. Roberts, headquarters detachment,
Bellefonte; second prize, $5, Paul Fan-
ning, Troop B; 8rd prize, ribbon,
Gerald Little, Troop B, and 4th prize,
ribbon, Joseph Tressler, Troop B.
The fair and festival which was to
have been held on the fair grounds on
Saturday afternoon and evening in
connection with the show and rodeo,
was moved to the armory, but because
of the fact that there was no time to
advertise the change no crowd of any
consequence was present, and it was
readvertised and held in the armory
on Wednesday night of this week,
This was the first show and rodeo
ever held in Bellefonte but from the
interest manifested by the public the
cavalrymen are convinced that it is a
sport that will appeal to people gener-
ally and they are already planning on
a series of entertainments to be held
next year. In this line they plan to
recondition the race track on the old
fair grounds and put it in shape for
steeple chases, something never at-
tempted only on the larger tracks in
this country.

Delightful Family Gathering at Jacob
Hoy Home.
A delightful family gathering was
held at the Jacob Hoy home, on south
Thomas street, on Sunday, as a wel-
come home to the daughter, Miss

cluded Mr. and Mrs. Hoy and all their

Heifer Killed by Headon Collision
with Ford Car.
A heifer belonging to Clayton Wal-
ters was instantly killed, on Saturday
evening, on the State highway near
the old Thomas Shearer home by a
headon collision with a Ford ear
driven by Robert Cox. Mr. Walters
has been pasturing his young cattle
in the fenced-in flat beyond the old toll
‘gate and on Saturday evening one of
his heifers got out of the wire enclos-
ure and meandered up and down the
State highway. About 6.30 o’clock
Robert Cox was coming to Bellefonte
in his Ford car and on the curve at
the old Shearer place he was in the
act of passing another car going out
when the heifer stepped out from be-
hind the car going south right in front?
of Mr. Cox’s Ford. She was hit head-
on and dropped in her tracks, dead as
dead could be. Mr. Cox was not driv-
ing very fast but at that the impact
drove the radiator of his car back
against the motor and otherwise dam-
aged the machine.
——All the ‘equipment of the Cen-
tre County Banking company was sold
at public sale last Saturday morning,

Y Drive Over the Top in Three Days.
Some said it couldn’t be done and
then others up and did it. The com-
bined forces of the Business Men's
Association and Kiwanis got behind
the local Y. M. C. A. for three days
this week and the net result of their
work is the assurance that the town’s
one common meeting ground will have
a year during which the spectre of
unpaid bills will not be continually
chilling its every activity.
For some time the Y has had reason
to fear that the wolf at its door
would actually break in. In truth its
officers, in dispair, have frequently
faced the question of closing the place
that through so many years has had
wide open doors for everyone.
Its all over now for Bellefonte has
rallied wonderfully to the call and
three hundred and sixty-five days of
calm sailing are ahead.
The Business Men’s Association,
headed by F. W. West, and Kiwanis,
headed by Rev. Homer C. Knox, really
underwrote the budget for the coming
year by volunteering to enlist a mem-
bership of 750 and raise $3200 in sub-
scription. They started in Monday
morning and finished Wednesday night
at a luncheon served in the Y Gym
by the ladies of the Lutheran church.
And they finished right, for they had
secured 877 members and raised $3501
with a few reports not included.
It is a hopeful outlook that the Y
has this morning. Here’s hoping that
its work for the year will be wonder-
fully fruitful in uplifting the moral
tone of the community.
