JOHN W. GARBRICK
ELECTED COUNCILMAN
FROM SOUTH WARD.
Motion to Purchase Road Scraper Re-
scinded Upon Motion of Mr.
Emerick.
Just six members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil on Monday vening. There were no
verbal nor written ccmmunications.
The Street committee reported re-
pairing streets, cleaning gutters and
sewers and hauling snow off the
streets.
The Water committee reported some
minor repairs and the collection of
$96.24 on the 1925 water duplicate and
$1424.93 on the 1926 duplicate, as well
as $125.00 from the G. F. Musser com-
pany for rent of the Phoenix mill
plant. The committee also presented
a preliminary report of the borough
auditors regarding an audit of the
water duplicates of 1923, 1924 and
1925, in which they found that the
Keystone Power corporation had over-
paid the, borough to the extent of
$2.95 on the 1923 duplicate while the
balance due on the 1924 was $1331.96
and on the 1925, the sum of $792.21,
checks for said amounts having been
given the auditors and turned over to
the committee.
My. Cunningham stated that Charles
Garbrick has requested permission to
build a bridge over the tail race from
nix avenue to the rear of his property
to give him access to a garage he
wishes to build there. The matter was
referred to the Water committee and
borough solicitor with power.
At this juncture a delegation from
the Undine fire company made its ap-
pearance and George Carpeneto, as
spokesman, invited members of coun-
cil to attend the. company’s annual
banquet on the evening of St. Patrick’s
day, Thursday of next week.
The Finance committee reported a
balance in the hands of the treasurer
amounting to $8876.76. Mr. Emerick
also reported notes due for $1,000,
$18,000, $7,000, $1,000 and $1,000, and
he made a motion that all be renewed
with the exception of the one for $7,-
000, which should be paid. Council
passed the motion.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the bell in the tower of the
public building had been raised and
the tower repaired and that both fire
houses are now in splendid shape.
The Sanitary committee reported
that a new dumping ground has been
secured on the property of Mr. Hocken-
berry, near Nigh Bank, for a rental of
$15 a year. President Walker sug-
gested that the ground be posted with
signs so there will be no trouble in
finding it.
Mr. Emerick stated - that at the
meeting of February 7th he made a
motion to. purchase a road scraper
from the Beatty garage and at the
time represented and believed that the
Street committee were a unit in favor
of its purchase. Since thén he has
learned that such was not the case and
also that council exceeded its legal
authority in contracting for a pur-
chase in excess of five hundred dollars
without asking for bids. Under those
circumstances he made a motion that
the action of council authorizing the
purchase of the scraper be recinded,
and that the minutes of the meeting of
February 7th be approved. The motion
was seconded and carried.
My. Emerick then stated that he had
not lost faith in the value of a road
scraper for the borough. He believed
that it would be a good investment not
merely because it clears the streets of
snow for travel but because he be-
lieves it means hundreds of dollars of
ecomony on the surface of the streets
to have the snow removed. 2
Mr. Cunningham then stated that if
Mr. Beatty has suffered any immedi-
ate loss or damage through action of
council in agreeing to purchase the
scraper he should be recompensed
within reason and he moved that the
matter he referred to the Street com-
mittee with power. It was so ordered.
The Secretary presented a written
request from the manager of the
Richelieu theatre stating that inas-
much as the county commissioners had
reduced the valuation on the theatre
from $30,000 ‘to $25,000, and given
‘them an adjustment of taxes, they
asked that the borough allow an ad-
justment on the same basis. The mat-
‘ter was referred to the Finance com-
mittee.
Mr. Cunningham reported that
Cohen and Kalin are negotiating for
the purchase of the entire stock of the
G. F. Musser company, and as the
latter’s lease will expire on April 1st,
some arrangement should be made
with Messrs. Cohen and Kalin for the
rent of the building after that date for
the period they occupy it. The matter
was referred to the committee with
power.
The secretary also presented the
customary resolutions from the State
Highway Department providing for
the necessary repairs on the various
highways routes through the borough
as soon as the weather settles, the
borough’s total share to be $130. On
motion the resolutions were ordered
executed and returned.
Mr. Harry Badger, member of coun-
cil from the South ward, presented the
name of John W. Garbrick for election
to fill the vacancy caused by the re-
cent death of Thomas S. Hazel and Mr.
Garbrick was duly elected.
President Walker reappointed John
Blanchard Esq., as 2 member of the
Bellefonte board of health and A. M.
Barr an auditor for the Pruner
home.

¢ Bills totaling almost $4,400 were ap-

'Is He a Very Resourceful Boy or Just
| a Clever Fabricator?
!
|
The approach of the open season
for trout suggests that it is about
| time for fish stories to emerge from
{ hibernation.
| We have a new one to tell you as
follows:
A few days ago warden Tom Mosier
was patroling Spring creek and no-
ticed a small boy sitting on the bank
fishing. As it is lawful to catch suck-
ers only now and as Spring creek is
also a trout stream the warden stop-
ped to give the boy the once over and
asked him: “Are you catching any?”
The lad replied: “I am now.”
Upon being requested to show them
a string of five or six fish were pull-
ed up to the surface of the water for
an instant and then immersed again.
The eagle eye of the warden no-
ticd that one was a nice trout and said
to the youthful fisherman:
“Boy, one of those fish has spots on
It is a trout and don’t you know
not allowed to catch trout
it
you are
vet.”
“Yes,” replied the boy, “I know I'm
not.”
“Then why don’t you let it go.”
“Well, you see, Mister, it was this
way. I come up here early this morn-
ing and caught that trout the very
first time I throwed in. I throwed
him back all right and before long 1
caught him. again and throwed him
back. . Then I caught him two times
more and couldn’t get a bite from a
sucker. That darned trout was eat-
ing my bait as fast as I could. throw
it in, so the next time I caught him
I decided to tie him so the suckers
could have a chance and I've caught
six suckers in the last twenty min-
utes. “I’m keepin’ him alive and I'm
going to let him go after I catch a
mess of suckers.” fs
We haven’t heard what Mosier did
in the matter, but he certainly must
have been impressed with the thought
that there was a mighty resourceful
kid or one who could trump up a slick
story on the spur of the moment.

Mrs. Annie Sokolosky Again in Cen-
tre County Jail.
Mrs. Annie Sokolosky, of Edendale,
near Philipsburg, is once more a
prisoner in the Centre county jail,
having been arrested last Thursday
for manufacturing and bootlegging
moonshine liquor and beer. When
Philipsburg officers raided her home
they found a five gallon and one gal-
lon still and coil, four and a half gal-
lons of mash, an eight gallon keg of
beer and thirty-eight quart bottles of
beer. When taken before Squire E. R.
Hancock for 4 hearing Mrs. Sokolos-
ky carried her Bible and prayer book
which she said she would take along
with her to jail, and further stated
that she might as well stay in jail as
anywhere else. - 2:3
Annie is 57 years old and holds the
Jail record for any woman, or man
either, in Centre county. During the
past ten years she has been in jail sev-
en or eight times, having served time
for larceny, assault and battery and
four times for violating the liquor
law. Her husband and two sons have
also served time. Her home at Eden-
dale burned down during the past year
and since then she had been living in
an outbuilding where she ran her il-
legal booze joint wide open.
Good Crowd Came Here on Sunday
Excursion.
The New York and Philadelphia
excursion train which came through
te Bellefonte on Sunday brought 129
passengers to this place, most of them
being Bellefonte and Centre county
people who took advantage of the
cheap fare to make a day’s visit home.
When the train left Philadelphia, on
Saturday night, it was made up of
fourteen coaches and carried 592 pas-
sengers. Some of the excursionists
stopped at Harrisburg and enough of
them at Williamsport to empty two
cars which were set off at that place.
. Jersey Shore received its quota and
enough people landed in Lock Haven
to enable. six more coaches being set
off on the side track, so that the train
came through to Bellefonte ‘with only
six cars. It arrived here at 8:15
o’clock, which was half an hour after
the scheduled arriving time. Return-
ing to Philadelphia the special left
Bellefonte about four o'clock in the
afternoon.
Philipsburg Here Friday.
Bellefonte High passers successful-
ly invaded Mount Union, last Friday
evening, and returned home with a
49-28 triumph neatly tucked away.
The Bricktowners proved easy for
coach Riden’s aggregation and at no
time proved dangerous. Most of the
visitor's scoring was done by the
guards, captain Furey and Crust. The
local quintet was to have played Hunt-
ingdon High on Saturday night but
the game was forfeited.
This Friday Philipsburg High,
leaders of the Mountain League, will
come to Bellefonte. If both teams are
going at their usual pace the people
of Bellefonte should be treated to a
fast, clean game of basketball. The
game is scheduled for eight o’clock.
On Tuesday night of next week
Lock Haven High and Bellefonte will
meet in the armory, at State College.
This is one of the elimination contests
in the State tournament.
' Raymond Shade, 16 Year Old, Shoots
Self at George Grove Home.
Raymond Shade, 16 year old moth-
erless boy who has made his home with
Mr. and Mrs. George Grove, in Ben-
ner township, going on four years,
shot himself in the right breast with
a 38 calibre revolver, about five o’clock
on Tuesday evening, and at this writ-
ing is still alive though admittedly in
a very critical condition. As no one
saw the shot fired it is impossible to
determine whether it was an attempt
at suicide or the result of an accident.
‘The boy is a con of Collins Shade,
of Hollidaysburg. His mother died
when he was quite young leaving the
father with a large family of children.
Raymond was placed in the Williams-
burg home where he lived until sev-
eral years ago when he was taken by
Mr. and Mrs. Grove. During the
time he has been with them he has
been the average normal boy. He
went to school and did the chores that
naturally fall to a boy on a farm.
On Monday evening, after the Grove
family had retired, the boy got up and
went downstairs and it was then that
he took Mr. Grove’s revolver and two
cartridges out of his desk. One car-
other one and the gun he took along
to school with him. Another boy had
a 44 calibre revolver and one car-
tridge with him at school, and at noon-
( time the twoboys werein the cloak
room fooling with the revolvers when
Shage’s was accidentally discharged,
but fortunately the ball went through
the floor and didn’t hurt anyone. On
the way home from school the boy
with the .44 shot off his cartridge at
a tree.
. When the Shade boy reached the
Grove home he promptly began his
work of doing up the evening chores
and was thus engaged when Mr. Grove
started to Bellefonte on an errand. It
was after five o’clock when the latter
returned home and going into the barn
floor he found Shade lying on the floor
with a bullet hole in his right breast.
A physician was hastily summoned
who pronounced the wound as very
critical, with death probably immi-
nent. An hour later the boy had ap-
parently passed away but under per-
sistent rubbing respiration again set
in and though still living he has not
regained consciousness.
As stated above, it is not known
whether the lad attempted suicide or
was accidentally shot while fooling
with the revolver. In either event it
is a very unfortunate affair for which
Mr. and Mrs. Grove are in nowise to
blame. The boy’s father was prompt-
ly notified and he and two brothers
came down from Hollidaysburg to see
him but in his unconscious condi-
tion he did not know of their presence,

Telephone Company to Reconstruct
Lines in Centre County.
An expenditure of $10,000 in Cen-
ter county by the Bell Telephone com-
pany of Pennsylvania will soon be
made, according to the announcement
of F. L. Richards, manager. The
money is to. be spent® in going ‘over
and rebuilding both out-of-town lines
and those lines within the towns.
~ About 7,000 telephone poles
throughout the county have been in-
specied, Mr. Richards said, and work
will soon begin on them. All the poie
lines will be gone over and replace-
ments of poles will be made where
necessary. Some poles will be remov-
ed altogether, while others will be re-
set, re-inforced or treated in some
other fashion.
The plans also call for the replace-
ment or straightening of cross arms
on the poles, replacement of pins and
insulators, removal, replacement or
addition of guy wires on poles, and
similar work. The trimming of trees
in connection with maintaining a clear
right-of-way is included in the work
planned.
While the business of keeping tele-
phone lines clear of tree limbs or oth-
er obstructions would not appear to
be a very arduous one, Mr. Richards
says that this is a most important
part of rendering telephone service.
Wherever a telephone line stretches
telephone men must see that, there
are no branches or limbs to interfere
with the wires.’ A tree'limb swaying
in the wind will rub against a wire or
cable and, eventually, cause a break
or damage’ the wires in some other
way. For this reason, all such ob-
structions must be removed, vet the
natural beauty of trees kept unimpair-
ed. Men who look after this impor-
tant work have received training in
tree trimming, and are careful to trim
and cut in such a way that the trees
are not injured or disfigured.
Samuel Leitzell, of Port Matilda, Ser-
iously Injured in Auto Accident.
Samuel Leitzell, a well known res-
ident of Port Matilda, is in the Cen-
tre County hospital with a fractured
skull as the result of an auto accident,
on Saturday evening, and his condi-
tion is regarded as serious. Mr. Leitz-
ell was motoring on the concrete
highway near his home town when
another motorist attempted to pass
him. In the act of doing so he cut in
ahead of him too quickly with the re-
sult that his car caught the front
wheel of the Leitzell car, throwing it
into an embankment by the side of the
road.

for a visit with her daughter, Mrs. M. A.
McGinnis, at Pottsville, with tentative
plans for going on to New Brunswick, N.e
J., to see Mrs. G. Ross Parker. Upon her
return to Bellefonte, Mrs. Schofield will
open her house on Thomas street, which
was closed for the two months she had
spent with her daughter, Mrs. Charles
Larimer and her family,
—The county auditors completed their
work and departed for their respective
homes on Wednesday. J. Herbert Stover,
of Smuliton, is the only one of the trio who
is not to be a candidate for re-election.
He made a splendid record during his term
and might well have aspired to succeed
himself, but his business at home is grow-
ing so that the time he gave to his office
here was rather more of a loss than a
profit to him.
—Eugene Brooks, who makes his home
with his aunt, Miss Ida Bell, at State Col-
lege, was in Bellefonte Wednesday after-
noon for a few hours. He is employed by
the State Highway Department at Holli-
daysburg, and being home for a visit this
week, drove Miss Bell down to Howard to
spend part of the day with her sister, Mrs.
R. U. Wasson. During the afternoon they
drove here and it was while the ladies were
doing some shopping that Eugene attend-
ed to a little business at this office.

Mrs. Callaway at Kobe During Japan
Earthquake on Monday.
At the time of the big earthquake
in Japan, on Monday, the steamship
California, carrying one of the Clark’s
tours to the Orient, and on which Mus.
Elizabeth Callaway, of Bellefonte, and
Misses Mary and Henrietta Butts, of
Philadelphia, are passengers, was just
preparing to leave Kobe, and in the
excitement which followed the quake
the gangplank fell and it is reported
that one of the American women tour-
ists was drowned. The itinerary of
the tour provided for a visit to Kyoto
and Osaka, Japan, two places that
were badly damaged by the earth-
quake and where a number of peo-
ple were killed, and it is probable that
the tourists had completed their trip
in Japan and were just on the point
of leaving when the catastrophe oc-
curred.
