Illegal Deer Killers Arrested by Game
Wardens.
The Watchman was the first paper
in Centre county to call attention to
the fact that many deer were being
illegally killed in the Seven mountain
the story, a month or more ago, game
wardens and deputies were sent into
the Seven mountains territory and as
region. Following the publication of
a result ten or more pot hunters have
been arrested and fined the limit of
one hundred dollars and costs. Last
week the Watchman’s Pine Grove
Mills correspondent told of two men,
residents of Harrisburg, having been
caught red-handed at Erbtown Gap,
both of whom settled and their ven-
ison confiscated and sent to the Cen-
tre County hospital. In connection
with the various arrests last week’s
Mifflinburg Telegraph says:
Game wardens and deputies have
for the past six weeks kept close tab
on a gang of illegal deer killers who
have their headquarters near Mill-
heim, Centre county.
Last week they rounded up nine of
the gang, they all plead guilty and
each paid $100 fine and had their
hunting licenses revoked for two
years. The wardens had warrants
for nine and on Wednesday four of |
the nine were arrested. The remain-
ing five will be arrested before the
end of the week.
Some of the men belonging to the
gang live in Lock Haven, and several
small villages near Millheim. They ,
had been systematically killing deer |
for several months and it is claimed |
some of them sold their share of the
spoils in the form of sausage. i
With the use of a powerful spot
light and high powered rifles, the
shooting of deer at night is a very
simple matter. The dead deer were
taken to a barn near Millheim where
a complete butchering outfit was in-
stalled, where the skinning, cleaning
and dividing of the meat took place.
It is estimated that more than thirty-
five deer were killed this summer by
this gang.
The r.ames of the persons who have
been killing the deer were revealed on
Wednesday of this week by game
warden Miles Reeder. They are E. E.
Styers, Dr. H. G. Ricker, Frank M.
Hartman and Charles Gilmore, of |
Millheim; R. P. Strouse and George
Immel, of Centre Hall; W. A. Strouse,
W. E. Strouse, R. D. Dunahay and
Lytle Taylor, of Mill Hall; Charles C.
Goss and Mrs. Daisy W. Plummer, of
Harrisburg, and Joseph Goss, of Pine
Grove Mills.
Each paid a fine of $100 and costs
for killing and consuming illegally
killed deer. George Immel admitted
under oath that he himself killed as
many as six deer. The men were all
let off with one fine each for the first
offense, but the next time it will be
more severe with the jail sentence
added, the wardens stated. They have
five more warrants for others and a
few other suspects who will have to
account for their part in the killing
and consuming.
Much credit is due Warden Reeder
for this good work.

Centre County.
Mr. and Mrs. James W. Frazier re-
turned to their home at Caldwell,
Kan., last week after spending three
months or more visiting friends in
Centre and adjoining counties. Both
are natives of this county, Mrs. Fra-
zier before her marriage having been
Miss Mina Kreamer, who spent her
girlhood life with the family of the
late Andrew J. Swartz. Though Mrs.
Frazier was here ten years ago on a
. visit this was Mr. Frazier’s first visit
in forty years, and naturally he found
many changes. Their headquarters in
Centre county were with their brother-
in-law, David Rimmey,
Gap.
When they went west Mr. Frazier
- engaged in farming and he now owns
a ranch of 640 acres. There are five
children, three daughters, all of
"whom are school teachers, and
two boys, both of whom took
a college degree but later returned to
"the farm. The Frazier property is
located within three miles of the Okla-
homa State line and within ten miles
of oil producing wells. In fact he be-
lieves his land is in the oil belt. Seven
wells are now being drilled within
sight of his land, one of which only
recently came in with a flow of 40
barrels an hour. He has leased a small
' portion of his acreage as a test propo-
sition and has been offered a rental of
$10 an acre and a one-eighth royalty
"on all oil found on his land, but has
not yet yielded to the temptation, pre- :
ferring to await developments in the
holes now being drilled near there.
If they indicate an oil bed in that lo-
cality he will probably lease, and may
eventually have nothing to do but sit
back and rake in his royalties.
Worlds’ Series Films Lost in Airplane
Wreck.
A new mail plane carrying 750
pounds of worlds’ series motion pic-
ture films and piloted by E. E. Ward,
was wrecked at Sunbury at 1.55
o’clock on Sunday morning when the
pilot attempted to make a landing on
the emergency field at Island park
owing to the fog, which was so dense
he could not see the outline of the
field. The result was one of the wings
of the plane struck a tree and the ma-
chine came down into four feet of
water in the Susquehanna river. Pi-
lot Ward jumped and landing in the
river sustained only a slight cut on
‘his head. .
The films were all encased in tin
boxes and pilot Ward managed to re-
cover all but twelve of them. A re-
lief ship was sent out from New York
which took the films aboard and con-
veyed them to their destination at
Cleveland, Ohio, and Chicago, Ill. A
crew from the Bellefonte field went to
Sunbury and removed the wrecked
plane from the river.
Charles Guisewhite Loses Leg in acci-
dent at Meadville.
Bellefonte friends: of Charles H.
Guisewhite will regret to iearn that he
was the victim of an accident, last Fri-
day, in which he lost his left leg and
was otherwise badly injured. Mr.
Guisewhite was born and raised in
Bellefonte but a number of years ago
went to Meadville where he is in the
employ of an iron and steel company.
Last Friday there was an explosion
in the mill which knocked down a der-
rick, portions of the wrecked derrick
falling on Mr. Guisewhite and crush-
ing his left leg below the knee so badly
that it had to be amputated. The
right leg was also cut and bruised but
no bones were broken in it. Several
other workmen were injured but none
as seriously as Mr. Guisewhite. Only a
few months ago Mr. and Mrs. Guise-
white lost one of their daughters, who
died following an illness of some
months.
Two Prisoners Escaped on Wednesday
Night.
Taking advantage of a hard rain
storm on Wednesday evening two
prisoners who only last week had been
transferred from Pittsburgh to Rock-
| view, made their escape from the
latter institution by cutting through
the wire stockade. The men are
Harold Meadis and Clarence Shoy,
both of Butler county, and both serv-
ing terms for larceny.
Troop A, at Boalsburg, has ar-
, ranged for a horse show at that place
on Saturday, October 17th, and one of
the features will be a polo match be-
tween teams from Lock Haven and
Tyrone cavalrymen. Troopers from
toona and Lewistown
will participate
in the show. 3
at Pleasant -
land the water has been turned off.
| Referred to the Water committee.
A petition was presented from
eleven residents of east Logan and:
Blanchard streets who are anxious to
have an_extension of the sewer to
their properties in which they agreed
to pay twenty dollars for a tap “when
they tapped it.” Two of the men who
signed the petition have just com-
pleted new cesspools, so it is very
uncertain when they would tap the
sewer. The Street committee reported
that the cost of putting down the re-
quested extension would be over seven
hundred dollars, and no recommenda-
tion was made.
The Street committee reported that
the sewer on Stoney batter has been
completed and the street put in good
shape. - The committee also reported
the collection of $126.37 from the
State Highway Department for the
use of the road roller.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $31.50 on the 1924 water
duplicate and $125 from the G. F.
Musser Co. for August and September
rent of the Phoenix mill property.
The committee further reported that
John Lambert had asked for an ex-
tension of the water service to the
borough line on south Allegheny St.
in order to give him water in a new
house he is erecting outside the
borough. Mr. Cunningham stated
that it will require the laying of one
hundred feet of pipe and he recom-
mended that a four inch pipe be put
down and a fireplug attached, as there
is no fireplug in that section. Council
authorized the work done.
Mr. Cunningham reported that E.
Zimmerli had requested permission to |
tap the Coleville water line in order
to get water for a new slag brick
plant he intends building at Coleville,
having made satisfactory arrange-
ments for so doing with the Coleville
Water company; and he also asked
that the borough make the tap and in-
stall a meter free of charge. The
Water committee was empowered to
do the work whenever Mr. Zimmerli -
is ready for it.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes totaling $11,200,
which was authorized. A
Mr. Cunningham stated to council
that the borough manager and the
Water committee had kept a very
careful record of the operations of the
new electric pump during the month
of September and it showed that
under the new agreement with the
Keystone Power corporation it had
cost the borough a trifle over $16 per
million gallons of water, against the
$18 per million under the old contract.
He therefore recommended that the
new contract be duly executed and
put in force, and the same was author-
ized.
Mr. Reynolds stated to council that
because of the fact that so many
strangers coming to Bellefonte were
compelled to inquire as to the names
of the streets, that signs be placed at
street corners in the main portion of
the town giving the names of said
streets. Mr. Reynolds being chairman
of the Village Improvement commit-
tee, the matter was referred to his
committee with power.
Mr. Brouse reported that the Street
committee had very carefully gone
into the request of W. Reynolds Shope
for an extension of the sewer on east
Bishop street. The total cost will be
about $400, and Mr. Shope has agreed
to pay $140 and if the sewer is put
down it will eventually be tapped by
fifteen or more people, © which will
practically pay the cost of same, and
the committee recommended that the
extension be made. The same was au-
thorized.
J. C. Jodon appeared before council
and asked that an alley be opened to
connect with the rear of his property
on east High street. The matter was
referred to the Street committee and
borough manager.
Mr. Cunningham reported to coun-
cil that insurance in the sum of $3,000
had been placed upon the pumps and
equipment at the new pumping sta-
tion, and council approved the action.
{ Mr. Cunningham called the atten-
tion of council to the fact that there
is no provision in the new contract
with the Keystone Power corporation
for the collection of water taxes, and
he stated that inasmuch as the water
duplicate and meter bills have grown |
to be a considerable item the commit-
tee would recommend the employment
of some person as an office assistant
to the borough manager, who could
give his or her time to the collection
of the water taxes and also do all
clerical work now being done by
the borough manager, which would
relieve him of that work and en-
able him to give his time to
his other duties. The matter was
referred to the committee with power.
Mr. Brouse stated that W. R. Shope
would like a crossing put down over
an alley adjoining his property on
Methodist
nell, a sister of the bride, as brides-
maid, and Eugene Struble, a cousin
‘of the bridegroom, as best man.
A delicious little wedding dinner
was served at the home of the bride-
groom’s parents on Sunday, among
the guests being Mr. and Mrs. James
Frazier, of Caldwell, Kan. Mr. and
Mrs. Fishburn left on Wednesday
morning on their honeymoon trip
which will be spent at Caldwell, Kan.,
and visits in Missouri and Illinois and
other places of interest in the west.
Both young people are well known
in Bellefonte and vicinity. The bride
is a graduate of the Howard High
school and the Lock Haven Normal.
She taught school several terms then
took a course in nursing at the Belle-
fonte hospital and since her gradua-
tion she has followed her profession in
Bellefonte and vicinity. The bride-
groom is a graduate of the Bellefonte
High school, after which he was a
teacher in Benner township schools
and is now a successful young farmer.
The many friends of the young couple
wish them a happy and prosperous
life.

A meeting was held in Altoona.
last Friday evening, to take action in
connection with the proposal to raise
a fifteen million dollar pension fund
for the church in the United States.

don Presbytery is $168,000. The
Presbytery was laid out in divisions,
the Bellefonte division consisting of
the churches in Bellefonte, State Col-
lege, Milesburg, Snow Shoe, Bald
Eagle, Centre Hall, Pine Grove Mills
and Spring Creek. The men appoint-
ed to head the work in this division

Gas Found in Well
Howard.
Drilled Near
Charles Wentzel, who lives on a
farm near Howard, had a well drilled
to a depth of 130 feet then struck a
match to see if there were any signs
of water in it. As the match flared
up there was an explosion of gas from
the well and Mr. Wentzel was pain-
fully burned on the face. Later a
casing was driven down eighteen feet
or more, then came the rainy weather
and the well is now filled with sur-
face drainage water. Through this
water gas is continually bubbling to
the surface and the question arises, is
it a possible new discovery of natural
gas? Mr. Wentzel has not yet de-
cided whether to pump the water out
of the well and continue drilling or
hunt for water at another spot.
| ——A new Methodist church was
dedicated at Blue Ball, Clearfield
county, on Sunday, a fact that will be
of interest to many Centre countians
because it was built largely through
the efforts of the pastor, Rev. Ira E.
Fisher, who formerly served the
charge at Pine Grove
Mills. Rev. Fisher is now serving his
third year on the charge at Blue Ball.
He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel
, D. Fisher, of Martinsburg, Blair coun-
ty, but formerly of Halfmoon town-
ship, Centre county, where he was
born forty-two years ago.

County Commissioner ‘Austin Wants
Code of County Laws.
County Commissioner Harry P.
Austin, of Centre county, was not
only seen but heard at the State con-
vention of County Commissioners held
at the Bellevue-Stratford hotel, Phila-
delphia, last Thursday. At the final
session Comissioner Austin made
an attack on the retiring Legislative
committee, which he criticised for not
having secured the passage of the
County Code law, designed to stand-
ardize and simplify various State reg-
ulations affecting county government.
In his remarks Commissioner Austin
said:
“The Association does not seem to
have any specific program of legisla-
tion which it wishes passed by the
new session of the Legislature at
Harrisburg. In order to secure the
codification of county laws, we shall
have to have a strong organization
supporting the measure. No general
discussion has been held by the Son
t is
all left in the hands of the new legis-
lative committee, which is to be ap-
The County Commis-
sioners should have had an opportun-
ity to vote on the legislative proposals
and then when they return to their
homes today they could start organ-
izing the local voters to support need-
ed measures.”
At the conclusion of his remarks
Commissioner Austin was asked by a
member of the retiring Legislative
committee if he had any specific legis-
lative proposal to make and he replied
: that he had none.

er swindled Bellefonte merchants cut
of approximately one hunderd dollars
and got away without getting enough
of a description of the man to recog-
nize him if he would be caught. The
man posed as a carpenter and in each
case presented a check purported to
have been given by Edward J. Gehret,
contractor, the checks being drawn for
an amount equal to one week’s wages.
Just a few days before the forger
worked Bellefonte he made a cleanup
in Altoona, and since the operation
here Philipsburg, Sunbury and Lewis-
town merchants have been taken in
for a goodly sum. Of course, it is
not known if the same man has been
' connected with all the operations but
they have been pulled in the same way
as the one in Bellefonte. It is just
possible that it is the work of an or-
ganized gang, but it is more than like-
ly the work of one or two individuals.
