AIRPLANE CRASHED UP
AT PLEASANT GAP.
Sririntt
But the Two Men in it Escape with
Slight Injuries.
John Prutzman, and Max Little, two
Altoona residents, flirted with death
for a few seconds, out at Pleasant Gap
about two o’clock on Saturday after-
noon, but came out victors with only a
few minor injuries to remind them of
their close call. They were flying a
Curtis plane from Jersey Shore to
Altoona and in attempting to come
down at Pleasant Gap for gas got
too low over the town, hit the top of
a pine tree in the yard of Henry Noll
then caught the telephone wires, pull-
ing down a telephone pole, and land-
ed headon against the corner of the
porch of the old Twitmire house oc-
cupied by Wade Evey and family,
knocking off the cornice and the spout-
ing. Mr. Evey was in the bathroom
at the time and claims the impact
knocked him off his feet.
The machine was one sold some
time ago by Henry Noll, of Pleasant
Gap, to H. M. Thompson, of Jersey
Shore. Mr. Thompson recently pur-
chased a new ship and sold the old
one to Mr. Prutzman. The latter took
Mr. Little with him to fly the ship
home. Henry Noll also flew to Jersey
Shore to see that the ship was all right
and saw the two men safely in the
air. He then took off, himself, and
flew to Lock Haven where he made a
landing and when he again took to the
air flew up the river to Renovo and
back, then up Nittany valley to Pleas-
ant Gap.’
On sighting his home town his at-
tention was attracted by the large
crowd of people on the highway and
as soon as he landed he made his way
to the town and was surprised to find
the wrecked ship. As stated above
the two men sustained only slight cuts
and bruises, returning later in the
day to-their homes in Altoona.
Mr. Noll, with a force of workmen,
dismantled the ship and removed it
to his airdrome, and while it seeming-
ly was pretty badly wrecked he says
it can easily be repaired and made
good as new.

Uncle Jimmy is Well, Despite His 93
and More Years.
.
As long as we have known anything
about the Watchman office the name
of James C. Waddle, Lock Haven, Pa.,
has appeared on its mailing list. And
from the time of little boyhood we
have known the benign looking, soft
spoken gentleman of the white beard.
Memory carries us back nearly fifty
years to the time we first saw and
knew him. Like most boys of that
day we loved to loaf about the rail-
road tracks and “hop” the trains when
the vigilant railroad men were not in
“sight. “Uncle Jimmy” conducted the
local freight on the Valley and he had
a white beard then, so that our im-
pression of him was one of an old
man. The local did all the shifting
here and there was much opportunity
for stealing rides and all ihe boys
loved “Uncle Jimmy,” for, whether he
did or didn’t, we thought he looked
the other way when he saw us crawl-
ing ‘onto a box car that was to be
shunted “up around the hill.”
For years after his retirement he
came regularly to Bellefonte for a
visit with his friends and to pay his
subscription.

On the desk before us is a note from
his daughter, Mrs. Adams, saying |
that: “Father is very well despite his |

is difficult for him to write any more.
He must hear the news of his native
county. Your paper will likely con-
tinue to be a weekly visitor as long as
father lives—not for its politics but
for its news—as everyone of us here
are Republicans. Wishing you con- |
tinuous success, nevertheless, I am

It is a gracious note, but has a sad
strain for us because it indicates that
another of the grand old railroaders of
the early days is approaching the

Centre County Prisoner Believed to be
Professional Crook.
Alexander Roch, a prisoner in the
Centre county jail on the charge of
shooting and wounding Joseph Krupa, |
during a drinking bout at the hone
of John Kisinsky, in Rush township,
on Sunday night, March 27th, is be-
lieved to be a professional crook with
a prison record. The county authori-
ties have definitely established the
fact that he served a four years term
in the federal prison, at Atlanta, Ga.,
from which he was discharged in 1924.
Word has also been received from Oi!
City that Roch is believed to be one
of a gang who robbed a bank in that
city.
When Roch was arrested a map of
Pennsylvania was found in his posses-
sion which bore tracings in ink of the
locality where the pay truck was
bombed and the big robbery of the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal company
took place. It is also alleged that
Roch was away from the Philipsburg
region for four days at the time of
the above holdup and when he return-
ed was said to be quite flush with mon-
ey.
¥ When the officers went to arrest
Roch after the shooting he made an
attempt to escape and was captured
only after considerable difficulty.

Many Seedlings Being Shipped from Former Centre County Minister Suf- ’
Rockview Nursery.
Thousands of seedling trees, most-
ly pine, are now being shipped from
the nursery at the Rockview peniten-
tiary for reforestration purposes all
over the State. The seedlings, which
are from fifteen to eighteen inches in
height, are packed in strong boxes,
seven to eight thousand in a box, to
assure their delivery in good order.
They are all healthy, thirfty looking
seedlings and if fifty per cent. of them
grow will in due time add thousands
of dollars to Pennsylvania forests.
The penitentiary officials have ar-
ranged for the planting of fifty thous-
and seedlings on Nittany mountain, on
what was at one time cultivated farm
land but which has been lying idle
since its purchase by the State. The
planting of the trees will not only in-
crease the value of the forest land
belonging to the penitentiary but will
improve the water shed which is the
source of the institution’s water sup-
ply.
While most of the seedlings in the
penitentiary nursery are pine they
have started the experiment of grow-
ing black walnut seedlings. Several
dump cart loads of walnuts were
planted last fall and the man in charge
of the nursery is now anxiously wait-

Centre County Flier to be Given Pro-
motion.
i
Jonn E. Bodle, a native of Julian, |
Centre county, on Saturday, was noti- |
fied of his appointment as a second
lieutenant in the air corps of the reg- |
‘ular U. 8. army, and will be assigned |
to duty at Selfridge field, Michigan. |
The lieutenant is a graduate of the
Bellefonte High school, class of 1923.
A year after his graduation he went
to Kelly field, Texas, and enlisted for
service in the flying corps of the U. S.
army. He trained for two years and
graduated on September 14th, 1926.
He was sent north to Selfridge field
and assigned as an enlisted flying ca-
det in the 27th pursuit squadron.
Shortly after his arrival at Sel-
fridge field he was granted a seventy
hour furlough to visit his old home
and he made the trip to Bellefonte in
a Curtis pursuit plane. In January
of this year a special examination was
held to fill nineteen vacancies as sec-
ond lieutenant and cadet Bodle was
one of the successful candidates.
Local Auto Dealer Pays Dearly for
Town Trout.
George Dunlap, of the firm of Deit-
rick & Dunlap, automobile salesmen |
of this place, possibly thought the four |
fish he caught in Lawshe run, Ly-
coming county, last Saturday, were
terrapin after he got through paying |
for them. * 1
Game protector, Watson McClarin,
of Salladasburg, caught him in the;
act and Justice of the Peace Crane, of
Jersey Shore, did the rest on Monday
morning. He made Mr. Dunlap pay
fines for fishing without a license and
catching four trout out of season.
The total amounted to $72.00.
The kick we get out of the gentle-
"man’s dilemma, if the story of the
Jersey Shore Herald is true, lies in
the statement that Mr. Dunlap caught
‘four trout on four successive casts of
{a fly. That ladies and gentlamen, is
some piscatorial performance for this
season of the vear.
The Legislature Was Good to Our
_ Hospital.
The bill carrying an appropriation
of $18,000 for the Centre County hos-
pital passed the Legislature finally on
Tuesday night.
It is now up to Governor Fisher and
if his Secretary of Forests and Waters
can persuade him to sign it without
any paring it will be a Godsend to the
local institution.
The amount, of course, is for the
two year period, or $9,000 each for |
1928 and 1929. It is $4000 a year
more than the hospital has been get-
ting from the State and every penny
of it will be needed to help out with
the deficit that will be inevitable in
the annual running expenses.

fers Broken Back.
At the zenith of his work in the
ministry and with a wife and eleven
children depending on him for support
the Rev. Bergstresser met with an ac-
cident, Wednesday of last week, that,
if he survives at all, will leave him
hopelessly paralyzed for life.
Rev. Bergstresser, a few years ago,
was pastor of the Lutheran church at
Pine Grove Mills. From there he was
called to Altoona and thence to Han-
over, where they hava a $350,000
church edifice and a membership of
fourteen hundred.
With his wife and five of the chil-
dren he had motored to Philadelphia
to attend the funeral of Mrs. Berg-
stresser’s father. Returning they had
reached a point just three miles east
of York when his car skidded and in
order to avoid striking another motor
he ran into a telephone pole. His car
was turned over and the minister pin-
ned in the wreckage so that his back |
was broken between the ninth and
tenth vertebrae. Mrs. Bergstresser
suffered a dislocated collar bone, but
none of the children were hurt, not
even the three month’s old baby she
was holding on her lap.
The injured minister was taken to
Westside hospital in York, where it
Then he was taken to Johns-
Hopkins in Baltimore and there too
they had to admit the hopelessness of
the case.
Miss Ida Greene Deeds Her Home to
the Ladies Aid of the
Methodist Church.
Miss Ida Greene, than whom no
church has ever had a more devoted
member, surprised a large gathering
in the Methodist church on Tuesday
evening when J. Kennedy Johnston
Esq., announced that she has deeded
her home on south Water street to
the Ladies Aid society.
It was the occasion of a “Memory
Meeting” of the Society which Mrs.
Sim Baum, the president, had .most
successfully planned. Mrs. Charles F.
Harrison prepared and read the
“Memory” paper. It was intensely in-
teresting for it was in the nature of a
history of the Ladies Aid, with tribute
to all of the good women whose pio-
neering in the organization laid the
foundation for the splendid church
work it is doing.
There were seventy-five persons
present to hear the surprising news
that Miss Greene had announced. The
deed for the property has been pre-
pared and will be executed soon. The
conveyance is to the Ladies Aid So-
ciety and it will come into full posses-
sion when this good woman who has
given her all to the cause so dear to
her goes to take possession of that
other mansion she surely owns in the
skies.

a Bellefonte visitor Monday and when he
dropped in here we expected to get a lot
more political dope, but there was nothing
doing. Irv. says “the young fellows are
not interested in politics and we old fel-
lows who are are nearly all dead.”
—Frank M. Fisher, of Centre Hall, and
J. E. Gentzel, of Spring township, were
among the members of an entire board of
the Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
which held their regular meeting in Belle-
fonte, Monday. Business was the object
of a call from both Mr. Fisher and Mr.
Gentzel at this office.

tion of Mrs. Isaac Thomas, Elmer E.
Sager, her son-in-law, came up from Phila-
delphia, Sunday, to join Mrs. Sager, who
had been with her mother at the Themas
home em north Thomas street for three
months. Mr. Sager will remain in Belle-
fonte umtil Mrs. Sager returns to Philadel-
phia.
—Mrs. William Rowe, who has been
under the care of Dr. Waterworth for
some time, went over to Clearfield, Monday,
to enter the hospital as a surgical patient,

ber of other patients, was obliged to re-
turn home watil the hospital could resume
its normal running condition.

General Eleetric Co., at Schenectady, since
resigning as an instructor at State in 1905,
was in Bellefonte Wednesday. Mr. Adams
is a son of the late County Commissioner
and Mrs. Frank Adams, former residents
of Milesburg and Bellefonte. It was his.
first visit here in many years and, natur-
ally, he foumd few *persons who knew him
or whom he recognized.
—Mrs. Ben Schreyer and her son Allen,
of Pittsburgh; Mr. and Mrs, Edward
Schreyer, of Philadelphia, and Guy Burley,

Thursday ef last week, with Mrs. Allen Ss.
Garman, of Tyrone, to spend several hours.
with Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. and William
Garman, cousins of the Schreyer men. Mrs.
Schreyer’'s husband, the late Ben Schreyer,
spent alli his boyhood life in Bellefonte and
the party was here and at Tyrone visiting
for a short time with the few relatives left
of a big family connection. :
With the heavy frosts and
freezing weather we had Sunday and
Monday morning everybody will nat-
urally be wondering if the early fruit
may have been damaged. It is hard-
ly likely, however, that such has been
the case. There has really not been
sufficient warm weather to start the
buds, even on early fruit trees, so that
there is not much likelihood that any
damage has been done.
