HUNTERS PREPARING
FOR THE DEER CHASE.
Hundreds of Armed Gunners will Trek
to Centre County Mountains
Within Next Few Days.
The 1926 deer hunting season will
open next Wednesday and the next
few days will witness a general exo-
dus of hunters to the mountainous
districts of Centre county, all eager
to be on the ground, with camp all in
order, for the morning of the opening
day. Naturally the greatest number
of Centre county hunters will flock
to the Seven mountains, and the big
influx from all sections of the State
will also go into that locality, where
most of them either have permanent
camps or their regular camp sites
where they have been pitching their
tents year after year. The Seven
mountains have been the most prolific
field for deer hunting the past four
or five years, and it is only natural
that the man who wants a good chance
to get his deer should go where they
are the most plentiful. And, accord-
ing to reports, there is no end of deer
in that locality, the only question will
be the number of bucks of legal
status.
But the Seven mountains are not
the only deer refuge in the county.
They are in the Barrens, in the Nit-
any mountain chain, on Brush moun-
tain and on the Alleghenies, though
the latter are not populated as thick-
ly now as they used to be ten and
twenty years ago. But the hunting
party that goes into the Barrens,
from Waddle up to the old Juniata ore
mines, is just as likely to run across
a deer as the man in the Seven moun-
tains. Little Sugar valley is also an-
other good deer country, and the Mec-
Mullen—Yarnell crowd will probably
be found there this year as they have
the past four or five seasons.
Every season during the past three
years a monster buck, the monarch
of the forest, has been seen in Green
valley below Pleasant Gap, and a
number of hunters have made a try
at bringing him to earth, but he seems
to bear a charmed life. He is deserib-
ed as having a ponderous pair of ant-
lers that seemingly have a spread of a
yard in width. A huge deer supposed
to be the same buck has been seen in
that locality during the summer, and
we are constrained to wonder if any
hunter will prove the lucky shot this
year.
Reverting to the Seven mountain
region, motorists who have crossed
from Bellefonte to Lewistown within
the past month; going by way of the
detour, have counted as high as forty-
two deer seen in going one way, while
it is nothing unusual to see anywhere
from half a dozen up. Of course the
most of the deer are probably does
but there will naturally be a fair per-
centage of bucks.
On Tuesday morning trainmen on
the westbound train on the Lewisburg
railroad counted seventeen deer at
Cherry Run, and among them were
several fine bucks. In fact the men
aver that hardly a day passes that
they do not see a number of deer as
the train speeds through that section.
While every man cannot get his
deer the Watehman wishes all success
and would like to have every hunting
party make an effort to get to this of-
fice next Wednesday evening, without
fail, a report of their first day’s hunt.
If out of reach of a telephone but in
touch with a game warden ask him
to report your kill.
Young Men Offer Blood to Save Sick
Companion.
The Watchman last week referred
to the very serious condition of Joseph
Hoy, in the Clearfield hospital. He
is suffering with tuberculosis of the
bone and this week it was decided by
the physicians at the hospital that
blood transfusion was the only thing
that would prolong his life. When this
fact was made known six young men
of Bellefonte and Milesburg, members
of the Bellefonte chapter of DeMolay,
to which Joseph belongs, volunteered
to give of their blood to save the life
of their young friend. The six were
Andrew Runkle, Clarence Thompson,
Joseph Herman, James Bower and
Hoy Royer, of Bellefonte, and Willis
McClellan, of Milesburg.
They went to Clearfield, on Monday,
in the Runkle and Royer cars and.all
submitted to the blood test, which
showed that of Joseph Herman and
of the sick young man and the two of
them tossed a penny to see which one
should have the privilege of supplying
the blood and it fell to the lot
of McClellan. Young Hoy had
a blood transfusion early in the sum-
mer to which he made quick response
and it is hoped the same result will
follow this one.
Rockview Penitentiary Raises Big
Crop of Potatoes.
While practically every farmer in
Centre county had all kinds of trou-
ble this fall getting their potatoes out
of the ground, and quite a number of
them have still some to raise, the
overseers on the prison farms at the
Rockview penitentiary kept plugging
away digging their tubers rain or no
rain, with the result that they got
their entire crop out, and it was some
crop at that, something over eleven
thousand bushels. And none of the
potatoes showing any indication of rot
or brown. spots. :

School Children to Rebuild “Pennsyl-
vania House.”
School children of Centre county
are in their annual campaign for
orphan children in the Near East Re-
lief schools in Greece, Palestine and
Armenia. The pupils of our schools
have been supporting a group of
refugee orphans there the past years
and the interest thus aroused in the
people of Bible lands was reflected in
all their school work. Geography,
history, and other students benefited
directly from the keen interest which
the children have in this philanthropy.
This year sympathy in the Near
East has been further stimulated by
the recent earthquakes,which centered
in the great city of orphans maintain-
ed by the Near East Relief in Cen-
tral Armenia. ‘One of the buildings
severely damaged by the quakes was
“Pennsylvania House,” a large dormi-
tory housing 500 of the refugee or-
phans who are supported by the Penn-
sylvania schools.
The earthquakes resulted in 500
deaths and the destruction of 12,000
Armenian homes, but fortunately none
of the children in the American or-
phanages were killed, and only a few
were injured. The earthquakes began
on October 22nd, shocks continuing
with gradually diminishing violence
for more than three weeks. During
this period, the number of shocks
averaged five per day. It is now be-
lieved that the worst is over, although
slight tremors will no doubt recur
from time to time for several months.
Already, in the midst of severe win-
ter weather, the children of the Amer-
ican orphan city are beginning to ig-
pair the damage to their buildings.
Funds that Pennsylvania school chil-
dren will raise this year will go for
repairing the earthquake damage and
caring for children made homeless in
this great catastrophe.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin Coming.
The Mason Bros. “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” will appear at the Moose thea-

inee and night. No play ever written
is better known in all parts of the
United States to all classes of people
than “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” not even
the plays of the immortal Shakes-
peare, for the play of slavery has been
given in every village and hamlet in
this broad country, and it has been
estimated that it is being played
somewhere in this land of ours on
every day in the year. Mason Bros.
have given it a handsome mounting,
and as played by their company, the
play leaves nothing to be desired,
either in scenery or players. A large
company of negroes are with the com-
pany and will be seen in plantation
pastimes and festivities. :

PRISONER PREFERS DEATH.
TO LIFE IN PENITENTIARY.
Climbs 150 Foot Smokestack and
Plunges Head First Down
the Inside of It.
Preferring death to life in the peni-
tentiary Nick Rost, a Washington
county prisoner at Rockview, climbed
the iron ladder to the top of the big
smokestack at the heating plant of
the new cell block, on Friday evening,
then plunged down, head first on the
inside of it where his dead body was
found on Saturday afternoon. The
smokestack is 150 feet in height but
the man’s entire fall down to the
clean-out door back of the boilers
would be about 170 feet.
Rost, a native of Austria, was sent
up from Washington county for twq
and a half to five years for voluntary
manslaughter. His short term was
up on October 26th, but he was being
held for a portion of his maximum
term. He was present at the supper-
time roll call on Friday evening but
when the final check in was made at
nine o’clock that night he could not
be found. Naturally the thought oc-
curred to prison officials that he had
made his escape and the detail of state
police in Bellefonte was notified and
penitentiary guards dispatched to var-
ious points on a search for the man.
On Saturday morning a thorough
investigation was made to ascertain,
if possible, how the man got away but
not a clue could be discovered. There
wasn’t a cut in the wire stockade and
it didn’t seem possible that he could
climb over the twelve foot barbed
wire enclosure, so that considerable
mystery surrounded his disappear-
ance. The mystery was intensified on
Saturday forenoon when a fellow
prisoner informed deputy warden Mec-
Farland that Nick had declared to
him that he “would kill himself.”
Search around the prison grounds,
however, failed to reveal Rost, either
dead or alive.
And the mystery of his disappear-
ance went unsolved until after two
o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The
fireman at the heating plant was an-
noyed because of a poor draft on the
fire under his boilers. Going to the
rear of the big battery of boilers he
opened the cleanout door under the
big smokestack and was horrified to
find the body of a man in a crouched
position, head downward. Prison of-
ficials were promptly notified and the
body removed from the stack, and it
was then discovered that it was the
the body of the missing prisoner. He
had evidently climbed up the ladder
under cover of darkness and had made
his fatal plunge unseen.
Rost was 383 years old and so far as
known had no relatives in this coun-
try. An inquest was held for the
purpose of officially determining the
death as suicide, after which the body
was buried in the penitentiary ceme-
tery.

Prospective Airmail Bidder Visited
: Bellefonte Last Week.
E. C. Dickerson, of Chicago, said
to be the oldest airplane pilot in the
United States and the man who was
largely instrumental in organizing the
companies which are now carrying
airmail from Chicago to Seattle,
Wash., and Chicago to New Orleans,
was a Bellefonte visitor last Thursday
night. He made a flight here from
Chicago and on Friday morning con-
tinued on to Hadley field, N. J. Mr.
Dickerson, it is said, is a prospective
bidder for the carrying of the night
airmail between New York and Chi-
cago and his purpose in making the
flight last week was to obtain first
hand knowledge of what pilots are up
against in such weather conditions as
prevailed on Thursday and Friday.
Mr. Dickerson stated while in Belle-
fonte that if he decided to put in a
bid and was successful in securing the
contract, that he would fly his ships
over the present course of the night
airmail, retaining the landing fields
in Bellefonte and at Cleveland and
Bryan, Ohio.

Bellefonte Academy Downed by the
Pitt Freshmen. %
The strong Bellefonte Academy
football team lost its first game of the
1926 season to the Pitt Freshmen, at.
Lock Haven, on Saturday. Two
thousand people saw the game and the
general opinion was that the best
team won, although some critics were
disposed to think that the Academy
did not put up its best game. The
score was 20 to 0, all the points being
made in the first half. In the second
half the Academy took a brace and for
a time displayed considerable aggres-
siveness but they were not able to
make much progress against the Pitt
defense. In the very beginning of the
game the Pitt yearlings uncorked a
few criss-cross passes that completely
outwitted the Bellefonte players, and
it was this play that enabled them to
score three touchdowns.
It is only fair to the Academy team
to say that they couldn’t have been
caught in worse physical condition
anytime during the season than they
were on Saturday. Eight of the reg-
ular players were handicapped with
injuries, some of whom never got into
the game and the others played only a
small part of the time. Had all the
men been in the pink of perfection the
story might have been different.
The Academy game booked for
Scranton yesterday was cancelled and
the final game for the season will be
with the Dean Academy, of Boston,
Mass., at Williamsport tomorrow.
The Academy has booked a game
with Randolph College, at Cisco,
Texas, for Christmas day and Mr.
Hughes is in correspondence with two
other teams, one in southern Texas
and one in Oklahoma, for a game on
New Year’s day; all of which means
that the Academy team will get an-
other trip to the south-west during the
Holidays. >
Capt. C. L. Arnold Signally Honored.
Capt. C. L. Arnold, U. S. N., who

vidual ships during the recent naval

Having won all three of the big
prizes Capt. Arnold has received a
letter of thanks from President Cool-
idge and a letter of commendation
from Secretary of the Navy, Wilbur.
Capt. Arnold, it will be remembered,
is a son-in-law of J udge and Mrs. Ellis

place in Bellefonte to do so is at the
Scenic watching the motion pictures.
They will divert your mind from the
worries of the day and you'll be en-
tertained and amused to that extent
that you'll go home refreshed and
ready for a good night's sleep. The
best pictures are always shown at the
Scenie. :
