Joseph Runkle Had Narrow Escape
When Train Hit Car.
Joseph W. Runkle, the well known
plumber, of Bellefonte, had a narrow .
escape from death or serious injury,
last Thursday evening, when the 5.02
train, backing in from Milesburg, hit
his car on the High street crossing
and crushing in the side of the car
shoved it along the track some thirty-
five or forty feet. As it was Mr.
Runkle sustained a small gash on the
left side of his face and slight in-
juries on his left arm and side, but
nothing very serious.
Mr. Runkle was on his way from
Thomas street to his home and came
along just as the train was backing
into the station. He evidently failed
to hear the train or see the watchman
on the crossing. The train was slow-
ing down and the front portion of Mr.
Runkle’s car had cleared the track
when the train hit it. The impact
broke the valve off of the airbrake
hose which threw on the emergency
brakes and brought the train to a
stop within about forty feet.
Mr. Runkle was quickly removed
from the car, taken into the depot
and a physician summoned but for-
and was then removed to his home.
He suffered somewhat from shock and
remained in bed several days. The
damaged car was removed from the
track and taken to the Beatty garage
for repairs. After repairs had been
made to the air hose on the train it
proceeded on its way.

home on Pine street. He was arrested
' Monday morning and the hearing in
‘the case of the Lock Haven taxi driver
OSCAR LUCAS ARRESTED FOR
BURGLARY AND HOLD-UP.
Blamed for Robbing Potter-Hoy Com-
pany and Holding Up Two
Taxi Drivers.
Bellefonte has a youthful Jesse
James, if all the charges brought
against Oscar Lucas, twenty-two
years old, are proven correct, but un-
like Jessie his mad career of crime has
been nipped in the bud and he will
probably have a long time in which
to study and plan reformation.
On Wednesday night of last week
the offices of the Whiterock quarries,
out at Pleasant Gap, were broken in-
to and robbed but the man who puli-
ed the trick did not get much of value.
On Thursday night the Potter-Hoy
Hardware store in Bellefonte was rob-
bed. Between forty and fifty dollars
in cash was taken, a revolver and
cartridges, and a number of watches,
the total loss being between $150 and
$200. Saturday night a Lock Haven
taxi driver by the name of Salvatore
Marasco was held up down near Sun-
nyside and robbed of $31, and on Sun-
day night Harry Resides, of State
College, was held up down near Lyon-
town and robbed of between $40 and
$45 in cash and his car, the latter
‘later . being found on Quaker hill,
' Bellefonte.
| Lucas was arrested early Monday
i morning on the charge of committing
all the above and at hearings the same
‘afternoon was held in $5000 bail for
leach offence. There is no doubt that
, Lucas committed the robbery at the
| Potter-Hoy company store, as practi-
| cally everything stolen but the cash
(has been recovered, and both taxi
men positively identified him as the
man who held them up.
| According to the Lock Haven man's
‘story he was in the Irvin house when
, Lucas appeared and asked for a taxi
‘driver to take him to Bellefonte.
. Marasco volunteered to make the trip
| for $10. They left Lock Haven some-
thing after twelve o’clock and when
they reached Bellefonte Lucas direct-
ed him to drive down to Sunnyside.
When they got there Lucas told the
i driver to stop. He then climbed out
of the car and reached in his pocket
and Marasco naturally thought he was
getting the money to pay him. In-
stead of that he drew a revolver and
| told Marasco to “stick ‘em up.” The
latter was a little slow in doing so
when the revolver was shoved closer
and the demand repeated when the
driver lost no time in putting up his
hands. He was then ordered to back
rout of the car and to stand still with
his hands in the air. The man then
frisked his clothing, taking his wallet
| which contained $31. Marasco was
i then ordered back into the car and
i told to drive away without looking
i back, and he did.
| The Resides hold-up was performed
ina similar manner. A man, who was
| identified by three people as Lucas,
| appeared at the hotel in State College
i shortly after ten o’clock on Sunday
| evening and inquired where he could
get a taxi to take him to Bellefonte.
Harry Resides was called and when
i he appeared the man made a deal with
[him to take him to Lyontown, two
That it had passed upon thirteen '
miles east of Bellefonte on the Jack-
sonville road. When they got down
to the road which runs into Lyontown
the man told Resides to stop the car
the man backed out of the car and
compelled Resides to back out. He
then frisked his clothing, getting be-
tween forty and fifty dollars. He com-
pelled Resides to walk down the road .
and jumping into the car he drove off
alone.
Resides went to a farm house, re-
ported the holdup and got the farmer ‘
to bring him to Bellefonte. He then
reported the robbery and holdup to
the sheriff and chief of police Harry |
Dukeman. Both officers got busy |
with the result that the car was found
held before Squire Woodring. Mar-
asco positively identified Lucas and
he was held in $5,000 bail for court.
The other hearings were held before
"Squire Keichline and he held him in
$5,000 bail in each one.
Lucas was discharged from the Cen- |
tre county jail on November 22nd on
parole, after having served nine,’
months of a one to two year’s sen- |
tence for larceny, being given three |
months in which to pay the costs in
the case. While in jail he elaimd to
the men who went there every Sun-
day to hold religious services that he
had reformed and when he got out
he would travel the straight and nar-
row path. But if all the charges that
have been filed up against him are cor-
rect he has certainly been cutting a
wide swath during the past week. |

toona, secretary, and E. K. Stock, of

Proposed changes in the constitu-
tion snd eligibility rules were discuss-
