| THE DEER SLAUGHTER
IS ON IN FULL SWING.
‘Hundreds of Hunters Invade Centre
County and Many Bucks
Hanging Up.
By railroad, by motor truck and by
automobile hundreds of hunters from
all sections of the State, and some from
New York and Ohio, invaded Centre
county on Monday and Tuesday. While
the advance guard came in on Monday
the big inrush did not take place until
Tuesday. That morning just 144
hunters from the eastern section of
the State came up on the Lewisburg
and Tyrone from Sunbury, all bound
for their permanent camps in the
Seven mountains. In addition to those
who came into the county by automo-
bile from the western section of the
State fifty or more detrained from the
Pennsylvania--Lehigh on Tuesday
afternoon and left on the Lewisburg
for the Seven mountain territory.
Of course the above does not in-
clude any of the army of hunters in
Centre county. With upwards of six
thousand hunters’ licenses granted in
this county it is a conservative con-
clusion that sixty per cent. of the
holders, or between 3,500 and 4,000
men, are out on the trail, so it can
readily be seen that the poor deer
has little chance of escape. Driven
from the fastnesses of one mountain
if he is successful in breaking through
the cordon of watchers he runs right
into another gang of hunters and the
margin of escape is big odds against
him.
While it is too early in the season
to give any definite report of the first
days kill, it is quite possible that a
hundred bucks are now hanging up at
the various camps in the Seven moun-
tains. The first day’s kill always
averages high, because the deer have
not yet become frightened and do not
exercise the caution they exert after
being chased hither and yon for
several days. By next week it will be
possible to tell a more complete story
of the number of deer slain.
In the meantime it is quite probable
that one hundred or more bucks have
their heels in the air and their horns
on the ground as the result of the first
two days of the hunting season in the
Seven mountains alone. John Night-
hart, of Bellefonte, and Hugh Daley,
of Philadelphia, motored over to Pot-
ters Mills before daylight, Wednesday
morning, and joined a party of day
hunters from that section. They hunt-
ed on the first mountain west towards
Boalsburg and got two bucks before
dinner.
An unknown hunter passed through
Bellefonte about nine o’clock on Wed-
nesday morning with a nice buck
strapped onto the running board of
his automobile. He had gone over to
the Seven mountain district early that
morning, shot his buck and was taking
him home that early in the morning.
ALBINO BUCK SHOT.
The McMullen-Yarnell hunting
party, over in little Surgar valley, not
two deer the first day, and one of
them was a pure white buck which
they estimated would weigh 225
pounds. This is probably the big buck
that has been seen the past three or
four years in Greenvalley and Little
Sugar, and which quite a number of
hunters have been trying to bag.
E. C. Musser Sr, of Pine Grove
Mills, was in town on Wednesday and
stated that a fifteen year old boy of
that section, William Corl, went up on
Tussey mountain bright and early
Wednesday morning, bagged a three
point buck and had it home before
eight o’clock. He also said that short-
ly before noon an auto party of hunt-
ers passed through Pine Grove Mills
on their way west with two bucks
strapped on their machine. They had
been to the mountain, made their kill
and were on their way home with the
venison.
A RHUMATIC ALIBI
Of course in the big massacre of
bucks that took place it was only to
be expected that a few does would
fall before the deadly aim of the over
anxious hunter, but George Spotts, of
near Julian, killed a doe and gives his
rheumatism as an alibi. Mr. Spotts’
two sons and several other hunters in
that locality went out to their camp in
the foot-hills of the Alleghenies on
Tuesday to be ready for an early drive
on Wednesday morning. Mr. Spotts
did not go out until Wednesday morn-
ing and as he neared the hunting
ground the other mer were already
making a drive. Just as he reached
an old road he heard several shots
just below him and a few seconds
later he saw a big buck cross the road
into the underbrush. The buck turn-
ed and came out again and Mr. Spotts
threw his gun to his shoulder but just
then he had a rheumatic twinge and
was a little slow in pulling the trigger,
with the result that he missed the
buck but shot down a small doe fol-
lowing close behind. Mr. Spotts
brought the doe to Bellefonte and re-
ported the incident to game protector
Thomas G. Mosier.
In addition to the Corl boy others
in the Pine Grove Mills section who
got deer were Charles Harpster, of
the Glades, Wilbur Heffner, a three
pronged animal, while Harry Mec-
Cracken bagged a beauty on his way
into camp, which was probably the
first buck killed in that section.
Almost the entire male force of
the Keystone Power corporation went
over to the Seven mountains for the
opening day and Paul Miller was the
one successful shot, bringing down an
eight pronged buck.
From reports reaching this office
yesterday the people of Pleasant Gap
! will be feasting on venison for some
time to come. The regular Pleasant
Gap hunting club hung up three as the
result of their first day’s hunt in the
Seven mountains but those who went
on the trail almost at their back doors
‘did equally as well. Ammon Kerstet-
: ter, one of the veteran hunters of that
locality, went out onto Nittany moun-
tain with the
Pittsburgh, and Ammon got his buck,
shooting i; near the Sand spring.
Other Pleasant Gap hunters who
went on the trail over in Greensvalley
got three on Wednesday, the lucky
shots being William Bilger, Henry
Knoffsinger and fourteen-year-old
Evan Bilger.
Charles Snyder, of Altoona, motored
down Nittany valley and went onto
Nittany mountain near the Centre-
Clinton county line where he bagged a
265 pound buck and was back in Al-
toona by noontime.
~ Centre Hall hunters over at the
Sunset club on the Seven mountains
got three the first day, while hunters
from the same town who went up on
Nittany mountain bagged three, one
of them a monster five point animal.
The Milesburg hunting club, over
in the Seven mountains, hung up three
on the first day of the hunt.
Over back of Colyer four deer were
seen hanging up at one camp as the
result of the first day’s hunt, while
two and three deer hanging up was
an ordinary sight.
WOODWARD CAMP SHOT TOO MANY.
The Woodward Rod and Gun club,
with which editor Harter is hunting,
shot four yesterday morning and as
they got three on Wednesday they are
now in trouble because they bagged
one more than the limit.
The Roaring Run club, with which
the Rev. Homer C. Knox is hunting,
got three on Wednesday, and we sup-
pose when the pastor: returns home
he’ll be roarin’ more than ever.
HUNTER BURNED TO DEATH.
Up to this time no accidents of any
kind have been reported in Centre
county but from Clearfield county
comes a report of the burning to death
of Robert Bell, aged 19, when the
hunting camp of the Bald Hill Hunt-
ing club, in Girard township, was
burned to the ground on Wednesday
morning. :
There were nine men in the cabin
and all were in bed when they were
aroused about 2 o’clock by the flames,
which had climbed to their sleeping
quarters on the second floor. The
cabin was burning so fiercely that all
had to jump from upper windows to
save their lives. = When young Bell
failed to appear the men made heroic
efforts to reach him, but could not on
account of the intense heat. Later
the charred body was found among
the ashes of the camp.
From Cambria county comes a re-
port that in defanlt of . payment of
fines and costs, aggregating $515, for
killing of a fawn doe, Ralph Edmis-
ton, 37, a miner of Blandburg, was
committed to the county jail at Ebens-
burg, on Wednesday, to undergo 515
days’ imprisonment. Edmiston plead-
ed guilty to five different charges
growing out of his illegal deer-killing.

Mothers’ Assistance Meeting in Belle-
fonte Today.
Trustees and workers of the Moth-
ers’ Assistance Fund from seventeen
central counties of the State will meet
in Bellefonte today in the grand jury
room in the court house.
The meeting has been called by
Miss Mary F. Bogue, State supervisor
of the Mothers’ Assistance Fund, and
will be the sixth of a series of inter-
county conferences held during the
past year in different parts of the
State.
Reports of the work being done in
the counties represented and legisla-
tive plans for the coming year will be
the main topics for discussion. Arthur
Dunham, secretary of the child wel-
fare division of the Public Charities
Association of Pennsylvania, will be
present and will discuss the State-
wide educational and legislative cam-
paign being undertaken by that or-
ganization in the interest of securing
an adequate appropriation from the
State for the Mothers’ Assistance
Fund for the next two years.
Mrs. Lella C. Gardner, president of
the Centre county board of trustees,

eon to be served the delegates at the
Brockerhoff hotel at noon. The meet-
ing will convene at ten o’clock this

Christmas Cards.
We have three very fine lines of
Christmas Cards which we would
be pleased to have you call and
see.
They can be had in lots from 25
up, either engraved, embossed,
printed or blank, so that you can
write your own greeting and give
it a bit more of the personal touch.
Two of the lines are from the
most exclusive makers of Christ-
mas Cards in America. The other
includes cards less expensive but
just as useful in carrying your
greeting—for, after all—its the
fact that you thought of your
friend at the Christmas Season
that counts—not the price of the
card that carries your thought.
Come in and see our Cards.
They are all attractive. We will
not sell them, however, in assorted
lots or accept orders for less than
ee ee fermen.
$47,000 in Christmas Savings Funds
to Go Out this Week.
The Bellefonte banks will this week
send out checks to their Christmas
savings fund depositors to an ap-
proximate amount of $47,000. The
checks will run from fifty dollars up
and will come in nice to the lucky de-
positors who have saved during the
year in order that they may have
money to spend for Christmas.
The First National bank will send
out checks tomorrow to an aggregate
amount of $15,000, to its various sav-
ings fund depositors, and the Belle-
fonte Trust company will also send
out this week a total of $32,000 to 451
depositors. The distribution of this
amount of money among the people
of Bellefonte and vicinity will doubt-
less result in increased holiday trade
to the merchants of Bellefonte, though
it is hardly likely that all of the
money will be spent for Christmas
gifts. A certain per cent. of it will
doubtless be returned to the banks in
permanent savings accounts.

worthy of your thoughts of her. Solid

Centre County Supervisors will Meet
in Court House Next Tuesday.
The annual meeting of the Centre
County Supervisors’ association will
be held in the court house, Bellefonte,
on Tuesday, December 7th, in con-
junction with officials of the State
Highway Department. The meeting
will convene at 10 o’clock a. m., and
sessions will be held in the morning
and afternoon. The late Harry P.
Austin, until his death a member of
the. board of County Commissioners,
‘was ‘president of thé association and
until a permanent organization is
perfected the secretary, Harry Breon,
will likely preside.
The purpose of the convention is to
discuss the township road problems
and to devise ways and means to ad-
vance the improvement of township
highways. The Department of High-
ways will be represented at the meet-
ing by N. A. Staples district engineer,
and F. W. Curtis, assistant engineer,
of Bellefonte, and C. D. Felton, dis-
i trict engineer, of Harrisburg.
Polecats Prowling for Chickens on
Willowbank Street.
On Sunday morning Peter Keichline
was aroused by an unusual fuss
among his chickens and hastening out
to the hen house he surprised a large
polecat in its endeavors to capture a
chicken for it’s Sunday dinner. Keep-
ing at a respectable distance Mr.
Keichline was able to frighten the ani-
mal away. .
As evidence that this was not a
stray skunk that had wandered into
town is the fact that other residents
in that locality have had similar ex-
periences, but have been more success-
ful in putting a stop to the raids as
three half grown skunks have already
been killed in that locality. It is quite
likely that a whole family of skunks
lived within commuting distance of
Willowbank street and the young ones
have now been killed and it was prob-
ably papa or mamma that visited the
Keichline hen house on Sunday morn-
ing.
