BOLD ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB
ROCKVIEW PENITENTIARY.
Burglars Broke Into Administration
Building but Could Not
Break Open the Safe,
There have been numerous cases of
prisoners breaking out of Rockview
penitentiary but never until Sunday
night, or early Monday morning, had
any one undertaken to break into it.
And in this case it was bold burglars
who made an unsuccessful attempt to
steal the petty cash out of the small
safe in the cashier’s office. Whether
one, two or three men were mixed up
in the job is, of course, not definitely
known, but whoever it was must have
had knowledge of where the money is
kept as the safe is the only thing that
was disturbed.
The would-be robber or robbers
gained entrance to the building, which
is located just outside the barbed wire
stockade, by breaking a pane of glass
in a window in the east end of the
building, then reaching in and unlock-
ing the sash fastener. Once inside
the building they made their way to
the door of the main business office.
This door was locked but was forced
open with a jimmy. A heavy iron
grill separates the cashier's office
from the business office and the men
climbed over this grill in preference
to forcing the locked door.
The safe in the cashier's office was
tilted over on its back, the handle and
combination dial broken off and the
door dented in as if hammered with
a sledge, but it resisted all efforts to
break it open. Evidently tiring of
their job and perhaps fearing discov-
ery the robbers left without getting a
cent for their bold attempt.
But the safe was so badly battered
that it could not be opened in the
usual way and it was necessary to cut
it open with hammer and chisels on
Monday. When opened everything in-
side was found intact. The only mon-
ey kept in the safe is the petty cash
for use in the daily operations at the
institution, and this at no time ex-
ceeds the sum of $500 to $600. Just
how much money was in the safe Sun-
day night prison officials declined to
state.
An effort is being made to discover
the identity of the would-be robbers
through the finger print method.
Undines Hold Annual Banquet.
Observing a custom of many years
standing the Undine Fire Company
celebrated St. Patrick’s day by hold-
ing their annual banquet that night.
It was served in their engine house
on Bishop street and voted by many
members of the Company to have been
the most enjoyable one they have ever
had.
All of the apparatus was moved out
onto the street and the large room
on the ground floor converted into a
banquet hall. There were profuse
decorations and the long tables, with
their dainty covers and gleaming sil-
ver, presented an enticing appearance
as one entered.
The company had invited the town.

Where Seed Corn Can be Obtained.
A number of cribs of earn have been
tested by county agent R. C. Blaney
and several have been found in which
the germination tests warrant plant-
from the 1925 crop and the lowest
germination test was 93%. In each
case when corn frem the 1926 crop
was tested the germination has not
been above 65%.
Many Centre county farmers are
looking for seed corn and it can be
secured from the following men: D.
M. Kline, Bellefonte, Yellow Dent;
Harvey Hoy, Bellefonte, Yellow Dent.
These men are located near Axe
Mann. A crib of White Cap Yellow
Dent owned by J. C. Bierly, of Rebers-
burg, was tested and germinated 93%.
Several other cribs are being tested
at’this time. + Any one desiring in-

Start Business in Bellefonte.
The appearance in Bellefonte, on
Wednesday, of an agent of the Comp-
troller of the Currency revealed the
fact that rumors that have been on the
street for weeks concerning a new na-
tional bank for the community have
had a real foundation.
Ever since John P. Eckel bought
the Centre County hank building at
receiver’s sale speculation has been
rife as to what he intended doing with
it. The cat is out of the bag at last
and while we have nothing authorita-
tive to announce at this time it is a
fact that W. M. Bottorf, W. C. Smeltz-
er, Dr. S. M. Nissley and W. H. Brouse,
of Bellefonte, and Dr. S. S. McCormick,
of Hublersburg, have made formal ap-
plication to the Comptroller of the
Currency for a charter for a national
bank which is to be located in Belle-
fonte.
It is reported that all of the initial
capitalization of $50,000.00 and $5,
000.00 as surplus has been subscribed
for and first payments made on the
subscriptions. The share-holders are
said to be fifty or more in number and
include a number of Bellefonte busi-
ness men as well as quite a few sub-
stantial farmers in the valleys about
Bellefonte.
The new company has an option on
Mr. Eckel’s building and if a charter
is granted it will take it over at once
and begin the necessary repairs to get
the banking rooms in shape for an ear-
ly opening of the new institution.
No definite organization has been
effected and the name has not finally
been determined upon. This action is
being deferred until a charter is as-
sured.
When that becomes a certainty we
are promised full information as to
the entire project which rumor goes
on to say is bigger and more interest- ,
ing than the meagre news given out
now would indicate.
Centre County.
Standing behind the bar where his
father, the late Judge Austin O. Furst
took the oath of office a little over for-
ty-two years ago, James C. Furst was
sworn in as president judge of the
Centre county courts at eleven o’clock
on Saturday morning.
The ceremony was both simple and
solemn, and was witnessed by several
hundred people. Admiring friends of
the Judge placed a huge bouquet of
roses on the bar. Promptly at 11 o’clock
Mr. Furst entered the court room and
took his position behind the bar where
he was met by recorder Lloyd A. Stov-
er, and with his hand on the Bible took
the prescribed oath which endowed
him with all the powers of a president
judge. Prayer was then offered by
Rev. William C. Thompson, of the
Presbyterian church. '
Immediately following court crier
Thomas Fleming opened court in the
customary manner then former Judge
Ellis L. Orvis arose and in a neat and
well worded little speech extended to
the new judge the felicitations and
good wishes of every member of the
bar and pledged loyalty and hearty
support during his administration.
Judge Furst thanked Mr. Orvis for his
kind words and stated that he would
do his best to merit the confidence and
cooperation of every member of the
bar.
He then announced that the court
was open for business if any of the at-
torneys had anything to present and
former Judge Arthur C. Dale handed
in two petitions for the court’s signa-
ture. N. B. Spangler and John J.
Bower Esqgs., also presented several
papers after which court adjourned
without Judge Furst making any an-
»
continue in office the list of court at-
taches. It is understood, however,
that he will retain his own stenog-
rapher, Miss Elizabeth Barnhart, as
assistant court stenographer.
When recorder Stover administered
the oath of office to Judge Furst it
was the third time in a little over two
years that he has officiated in like ea-
pacity, a record never equalled by any
recorder in the State.
Bellefonte Chapter D. A. R.
As already announced, the next
meeting of the local chapter of the
D. A. R. will be held March 31st, in-
stead of April 7th, when the enter-
tainment, a concert by Mrs. H. H.
Havner’s orchestra, will no doubt rival
in it’s artistic merit the excellence in
things literary of “Recent Books in
American History and Biography,” a
paper prepared by Miss Sabra Vought,
librarian of the Carnegiz library at
State College, and read by her at the
last meeting of the oganization.
After being welcomed by Miss Olive
Mitchell, Mrs. Myron Cobb, the Misses
Isabel and May Nevling. and Miss
Helen Harper, at the Brockerhoft
house on Thursday evening, March
3rd, almost fifty members of the
Bellefonte chapter, together with their
guess, the regent of the Tyrone chap-
ter, were called to order by the rap-
ping of the gavel by Mrs. William
Frear, of State College.
While conducting its routine busi-
ness the chapter voted: fifty dollars
Bellefonte High Eliminated from Bas-
ket Ball Tournament.
After defeating Lock Haven High
school in the elimination contest play-
ed at State College on Tuesday night
of last week, the Bellefonte High
school basket ball team lost out in the
semi-finals, at Altoona on Thursday
night when they were defeated by the
streng Philipsburg quintette by the
score of 55 to 25.
The game with Lock Haven, at
State College, was close from begin-
ning to end, and although Bellefonte
Jever was behind they never had much
of a lead and finally won out by just
one point, the score being 25 to 24.
At Altoona, on Thursday night,
Bellefonte played Philipsburg and
Hollidaysburg played Johnstown.
Bellefonte was not able to.get the
measure of the Philipsburg players
and lost the game 25 to 55, much to
the chagrin of the many Bellefonte
fans who motored to Al
the home team. ;
Hollidaysburg defeated Johnstown
and when the former team met Phil-
ipsburg, on Saturday night, they also
went down in defeat, leaving Philips-
burg the champion not only of the
Mountain league but: the ' Central
Pennsylvania conference. As chamyp-
ions théy will play in the basket ball
tournament at State College today and
tomorrow for the State championship.

even more pleased and delighted with

Friday night. His parishioners were

him a reception they made the an-
nouncement that they would give him
an increase in salary of $200 for the
coming year.

Dogs vs. Game and Gardeners.
Dogs unrestrained, whether licensed
or unlicensed, are a serious menace
to game at this particular time of
year, for just now game is breeding
and birds ‘are nesting. Dogs running
at large in woods can do incalculable
damage to the wild life which we are
trying so hard to conserve.
Every town dweller knows the dam-
age which dogs can do to gardens
newly planted. He can do more to
game.
Thousands of dollars of the sports-
men’s money is used annually to re-
stock the woods with game birds and
animals, for diversion and pleasure
for every citizen.
We urge every dog ownar ts con-
sider this and cooperate with us in
conserving our birds and game. The
officer has no choice but to do his duty,
and -the orders are to rigidly enforce
the law. : 2
