NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——G. Edward Haupt has been
given the contract by the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad company to tear down
the house formerly occupied by H. J.
Hartranft and fill up and level off the
cellar. He is now at work on the job.
——The Board of Pardons last week
refuser the application for a pardon
of James Horvath, of Westmoreland
county, an inmate at Rockview who
has completed a course in mining
engineering under instruction of min-
ing professors at State College.
——Edgar T. Burnside has bought
the entailed Cameron house on north
Spring St., in which Mrs. Nellie
Barnes, of Washington, D. C., had a
life interest. He expects to remodel it
into a duplex. It is the property re-
cently vacated by the Fred Craft fam-
ily.
——Keefer & Nolan, hardware mer-
chants of State College, have bought
the store of the Penn State Hardware
company for $14,500, from C. E. Mey-
ers, taking possession yesterday. They
will run the two stores until the first
of the year then combine them into
.one at the present location of the Penn
State Hardware company.
——And now, it is rumored, the
Bellefonte council is considering the
purchase of a tractor and scraper at a
cost of over two thousand dollars for
the purpose of scraping snow from
the middle of the street to the sides of
the thoroughfare. It won’t get rid of
the snow but merely pile it up where
it will be more of a nuisance that if
packed down on the street.
—While Bellefonte is now in
the throes of real winter all the pave-
ments leading to the Scenic are free of
snow and you can’t find a better place
to spend the long, chilly evenings than
there watching the motion pictures
and listening to the music produced
on that wonderful pipe organ by Miss
Berenice R. Crouse. Combined they
make up a program of entertainment
always interesting and enjoyable. By
watching the weekly programs always
printed in the Watchman you can keep
informed on the pictures to be shown
every night in the week.
——We’re willing to admit that the
man who prophesied that winter would
set in early knew what he was talking
about, but we hope the individual who
says it will stay late is simply a
numbskull of a weather prophet. With
a ten inch snow fall on Sunday and the
mercury hovering around anywhere
from 4 to 18 degrees below zero Tues-
day morning, according to location
and the make of the thermometer, we
feel confident that the old-timers
couldn’t refer to anything more wintry
like for this time of year.

| CNETRE COUNTY'S HUNT
YIELDS OVER 600 BUCKS.
A Score or More of Illegal Deer
Also Fall a Prey to Too
Eager Hunters.
While it has been an utter impos-
sibility to get anything like an ac-
curate account of the deer killed in
Centre county during the past nine
days of the open hunting season esti-
mates of game wardens and hunters
place the number in excess of six
hundred, with a probability that the
total will reach 750 by the close of
the season. The heavy snow fall of
Sunday has greatly impeded the work
of the various game wardens in keep-
ing tab on the many camps in the Al-
leghenies and Seven mountains with
the result that they are unable to give
anything like a correct estimate. How-
ever, game protector Thomas G.
Mosier states that from information
he has received he feels confident
that five hundred bucks were killed
the first two or three days, and that
the total number will run over seven
hundred by the end of the season.
The deep snow and extreme cold of
Monday had the effect of driving many
hunting camps from the mountains,
but quite a number were ready to
come out, anyway, as they had killed
their limit of deer. Every day this
week hunting parties have been pass-
ing through Bellefonte on their way
home from the Seven mountains with
from one to three deer strapped onto
their automobiles, and very few hunt-
ers have returned entirely empty
handed. While the Seven Mountains
have been the most prolific field for the
hunters the Alleghenies this year have
also yielded up many deer, while the
Nittany mountains and the Barrens
have also furnished their full quota.
As an evidence of how plentiful the
bucks were in the Seven mountains
the Pitcairn hunting club went home
on Tuesday with four nice ones. In
conversation with one of the hunters
the writer was told that they ought
to have shot the limit on the first drive
on Wednesday morning. They had
enough of good shots but missed them.
In fact, while they got but four bucks
they missed a total of twenty-four
good shots.
The Fisher hunting club, over near
the old Cadman place, got their limit
in two days and missed thirty-nine
good shots. This tells the story of
how plentiful the bucks are. Several
hunting parties laid down the rule
when they went into the woods to
shoot nothing less than four prongers,
and with that they bagged their limit
in two days.
: A GOOD STORY.
Many hunting stories have come in
from the mountain camps, one of
which has to do with Clayton Wagner,
of Centre Hall, who shot at a big buck
in the Seven mountains and saw it turn
several somersaults. He went down
was
dumbfounded to see that it had no
horns. Conscience stricken in the be-
lief that he had shot a doe he stood
and watched the animal struggle in
what he supposed were the throes of
death, but was soon amazed and re-
lieved to see it jump up and run away.

theft but did not seek the aid of the
local police until Thursday. The same |
evening Mr. Bloom’s car was stolen |
two young men tried to make way |
with the car of Anthony Volyneh, al-
so of north Spring street. They push-
ed the car down to the Lamb street
bridge but could not get it started.
It was probably the same young men
who stole the Bloom car.
Jack Gold, a Crawford county
prisoner who made his escape from
the Rockview penitentiary on August
18th, was captured in Canada last
week and brought to the Centre coun-
ty jail. Gold was employed in the
tailor shop at the penitentiary and
donning a guard’s suit he had mend-
ed left the shop and walked out of the
stockade without attracting any no-
tice. The escape was made between
two and four o’clock. Gold was serv-
ing a sentence for larceny, breaking
and entering and receiving stolen
goods. He will now have to serve an
additional sentence of three to six
years.
Ex-Sheriff Henry Kline is in
the Centre County hospital with a
badly injured leg as the result of an
accident at the plant of the Chemical
Lime company, about four o’clock on
Menday afternoon. Mr. Kline is plant
boss and for several days previous
they had been having trouble with
their stone cars jumping the track and
he decided to make a personal inves-
tigation. Jumping a car he road
- down the incline but one of the car
wheels broke and Mr. Kline was
thrown off. His right knee struck an
iron pin, cutting an ugly gash in the
flesh and fracturing the knee cap. He
was taken to the hospital where he is
now under tratement.
——Fred Carter, of Philadelphia,
head of the State Humane Society,
came to Bellefonte last week and on
Thursday and Friday, in company
with George Glenn, county agent,
visited half a dozen sections in Cen-
tre county from which complaints had
been received relative to the mistreat-
ment of animals. In most every in-
stance they found the complaints well
founded, horses being poorly fed, bad-
ly housed or not housed at all, and
ill-treated in other ways. The own-
ers were given the alternative of tak-
ing proper care of their stock or fac-
ing presecution and they chose the
former. There are a number of other
cases in the county which will also be

mal was standing when he shot and

ONE HUNTER LOST.
Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned down near Zion last Friday
night by the announcement that
George Carson was lost in the Nittany
mountains. Men and boys hunted for
him until midnight then decided to
wait until Saturday morning. But at
that time George turned up. He had
simply spent the night in another
camp.
Mrs. August Korten, of Sunbury,
came into the eastern end of Centre
county, shot a three pronged buck ut

Of course with so many bucks killed
there was bcund to be some does and
up to Wednesday of this week game

teen men who had made illegal kills
came forward and admitted the fact
and paid their fine of one hundred dol-
lars.

Safety I'irst Picture to be Shown at
Moose Theatre.
The motion picture is being utilized
more and more every day to illustrate
and demonstrate various facts in busi-
ness and every day life. For some
time past the industries in and around
Bellefonte have been waging a cam-
paign to make their plants accident
proof as well as fool-proof. Safety
committees have been formed whose
duties are to see that all machines
are properly guarded and posted with
warning signs. The most important
thing, however, is to educate the em-
ployees along the lines of safe prac-
tices.
As a means of so doing a safety
motion picture entitled, “Help Your-
self,” will be shown in the Moose
theatre on Tuesday evening, Decem-
ber 14th, under the direction of A. C.
Hewitt, secretary of the quarry sec-
tion of the National Safety Council,
and chairman of the American Lime
and Stone company’s safety commit-
tee. The picture has been loaned for
of Highways and will be presented
conjointly by the American Lime &
Stone Co., the Chemical Lime Co.,
Sutton-Abramsen Engineering com-
pany, Titan Metal company and the
Whiterock quarries, and employees of
all the above are urged to go to the
avoid accidents.

Among the Sick at the Hospital.
The venerable Daniel Eberhart, 93
taken to the Centre County hospital,
last Thursday, suffering with kidney
and bladder trouble. Owing to his ad-
vanced age and feeble condition phy-
sicians deem it inexpedient to perform
an operation so confine their treat-
ment to local applications for relief.
Samuel Richards, another of Belle-
fonte’s aged citizens, is also in the
hospital for treatment for a compli-
cation of diseases and his daughter,
Mrs. Hoy, of Pitcairn, has come to
Bellefonte to be near him.
On Monday night Harry Williams
had a bad fall up in the region of the
Moose home, fracturing his skull and
cutting a deep gash on the top of his
head. He bled profusely and was
taken to the hospital for treatment.
Fortunately the skull fracture is not
serious and yesterday he was reported
as getting along all right.

FIRE BADLY DAMAGES
M. R. JOHNSON HOME.
Exploding Water Heater Cause of
Most Destructive Blaze.
The very comfortable home of Mil-
'ton R. Johnson and family, on north
Spring street, Bellefonte, was so badly
damaged by fire, late Saturday after-
noon, that it will cost thousands of
dollars to repair it. The fire originat-
ed from an explosion of a kerosene
water heater used for the bath room.
The heater was located in the kitchen
and after lighting it Mrs. Johnson
went upstairs to take a few minutes
rest. She had been lying down and
almost asleep when something impell-
ed her to get up and go down stairs.
As she did so she saw flames of fire
| eating through at the bottom of the
kitchen door. On opening the door
she was horrified to find the interior
of the kitchen a mass of seething fire.
Calling Miss Hazel, who was up-
stairs lying down, she ran to the tele-
phone and gave a call for the fire
companies, but in her excitement for-
got to say where the fire was. This
naturally occasioned some delay and
by the time the companies arrived on
the scene the entire rear portion of
the building was in flames and the fire
| was eating under the roof of the main
part of the house. With such a start
it looked as if the entire building
would be destroyed but the firemen
| worked hard and confined the blaze to
| the upper part of the house though
i the kitchen annex was damaged be-
yond repair.
All the parlor and living room fur-
l.niture was removed and some from the
I second floor but a portion of it was
burned or so badly damaged by water
{ that it is beyond repair. The Misses
‘Johnson had most of their things
stored on the third floor and they were
‘all burned. While Mr. Johnson has
! not, had time to figure up his loss, it
is estimated that it will be from ten !
{to twelve thousand dollars, with an
| insurance of approximately six thous-
‘and. Of course the home will be re-
built but the kind of weather we are
{now having will delay starting the
work. In the meantime the Johnson
i family is scattered among friends.
They have requested us to make this
public acknowledgement of their
gratitude for the assistance friends
and neighbors so cheerfully gave dur-
ting the fire and since.
Three Centre County Hospital Nurses
Graduate.
Having completed their course in
nursing at the Centre County hospital
three graduates were awarded their
diplomas at commencement exercises
held in the court house last Friday |
evening. The three young ladies are

Iva Glass, of Altoona, and Rachel
Leitzell, of Port Matilda.
The court room had been very
i tastefully decorated for the occasion
‘and John Blanchard, Esq., presided.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Robert |
| Thena, of the Reformed church, after
{ which there was a violin quartette by
i four lady violinists. Rev. Father

of such a noble calling as their aim in
life.

panied on the piano by her husband

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
Academy Football Team Making
Ready for Texas Trip.
Ten inches of snow and zero weath-
er is not conducive to football prac-
tice but the Bellefonte Academy eleven
is using other means of keeping in
trim for their interesectional game
with Randolph College, at Cisco,
Texas, on Christmas day. The team,
with coach Carl G. Snavely and head-
master James R. Hughes, will leave
Bellefonte, twenty or more strong, on
Friday or Saturday of next week and
travel by easy stages for their desti-
nation in the Lone Star State.
The men will go primed to the
minute to give a good account of
themselves, but ardent supporters of
the team must not feel cock-sure they
will win, just because they cleaned up
the Sherman High school with ease
last year. Their Christmas game will
be with the first team of Randolph col-
lege, and it will be no disgrace to them
if they are beaten. But they are
going down with the determination to
win, if possible, and whatever the re-
sult the Texans will know that they
were in a football battle.

Airmail Flare Burns Farmer’s Barn.
On his way from Cieveland to Belle-
fonte with the night airmail early
last Saturday morning, pilot Bernard
ran into a freezing mist of rain and
snow north of Mercer in the western
part of the State and was compelled
to make a forced landing. He knew
he was near an emergency landing
field so lighted a flare and threw it
overboard. The wind blew the flare
against the barn on the farm of S. F.
Tait, setting it on fire and the light
from the burning barn enabled the
pilot to make a perfect landing.
Bernard then aroused the Tait fam-
ily and assisted them in rescuing the
livestock from the barn but the en-
lire structure including, wheat, corn,
oats, hay and farm machinery, went
up in smoke, entailing a loss of about
$5,000.
