it is made necessary to investigate so
sacred a matter as the sanctity of the
ballot. ' wey

| Fear of Electric Chair Prevented Es- |
caped Prisoner Pleading Guilty.
Milan Dackrack, a Serbian who es-
caped from Rockview penitentiary on
the afternoon of July first, while at
work on the big impounding dam in
McBride’s gap, and was caught at
State College the following night af-
ter being trailed by the penitentiary
bloodhounds, refused to plead guilty
to breaking and escaping when
brought before Judge Furst last Sat-
urday for fear he would be sent to
the electric chair.
How he come to get that idea into
his head authorities were unable to
determine. During the week Dack-
rack told sheriff E. R. Taylor that he
was willing to plead guilty and take
his sentence. It was upon this in-
formation that a special session of
court was held on Saturday morning.
But when the man faced Judge Furst
he changed his mind and refused to
sign the indictment drawn up by dis-
trict attorney John G. Love, giving
as his reason that if he did so the
judge might send him to the electric
chair.
On being interrogated by the court
Dackrack said he had been sent up
from Cambria county in April, 1927,
for two and a half to five years for fe-
lonious assault and battery, and that
he had been at Rockview only about
twenty days when he “just walked
away,” intending to go ome to Cam-
bria county, where he had been em-
ployed in the mines. Judge Furst
tried to explain to him that he could
not be sent to the electric chair and
whether he plead guilty or stood for
a trial the sentence would be the
same, but the man did not appear
able to comprehend that fact and he
was taken back to jail to await trial
at the September term of court.
On Monday morning Albert Mo-
honey, a negro, of Allegheny county,
serving a four to eight year sentence
for robbery, made his escape from the
sand plant and it was not until sever-
al hours later that his absence was
discovered. He was traced some dis-
tance by the bloodhounds but the lat-
ter finally lost the trail.
Mahoney was captured over near
Boalshurg at 12:30 o’clock on Tues-
day night and brought to the Centre
county jail. He had served about
seventeen months of his minimum
term.

Handsome New Bank Building to be
Opened Tomorrow.
The new home of the Farmer’s Na-
tional Bank and Trust Company, at
Millheim will be formally opened for
business and public inspection from 8
a. m. to 9 p. m., tomorrow.
The new institution is the result
cf the merger, made some time ago,
of the old Millheim Banking Com-
pany, a private institution formed in
1872, and the Farmer's National of
that place. The combined banks have
resources of over a million and a quar-
ter and represent one of the leading
financial institutions of this section.
The present officers and employees
include Dr. G. S. Frank, president; C.
L. Giramley, vice president; A. A.
Frank, vice president; L. W. Stoner,
cashier; S. W. Gramley, trust officer;
J. R. Miller. assistant cashier; S. L.
Hubler and P. H. Musser tellers. The
board of directors is composed of G.
8. Frank, C. 1. Gramley, S. W. Gram-
lev, A \A. Frank, L. EF. Stover, F. M.
Fisher, R. S. Stover, H. FE. Crouse, L.
W. Stover.
The new building occupies a lot 75
x35 at the corner of Main and Penn
streets, the site having formerly been
used for a building which S. Ward
Gramley erected there in 1911. Work
on demolition of the old structure and
erection of the new one was begun
about a year ago. It is exclusively
a bank building, very substantial and
dignified in architecture. The con-
struction is of Cast granite, buff brick,
steel and concrete. Every appoint-
ment necessary to modern banking
and the comfort of patrons has been
carefully worked out so that the insti-
tution has a home that is outstanding
and very unusual for a town of the
size of Millheim. It is estimated to
have cost about $80,000.00.

Did You Find an 'Over-night Bag.
While in Bellefonte on the Fourth

——For the first time in many
years Mrs. Louis Grauer is now en-
joying a life devoid of all business
cares and responsibility. Going into
the Lyon & Co store as a girl she
quickly became an expert saleslady
and while yet quite young in years
assumed the responsibility of co-
manager of the store. In this capac-
ity she continued for more than a
quarter of a century, or until her re-
cent sale of the store to Harry Bern-
stein, As this sale was absolute and
total, and she is in nowise connected
with the store now, she is naturally
enjoying the freedom and relaxation
to which she is justly entitled.
Mouse Makes Nest of Valuable Stock
Certificate,
Owing to the merger of the Key- !
stone Power corporation with the
West Penn Electric company, all the
Keystone corporation stock has been |
called for redemption or conversion |
into West Penn stock at the option of i
the holders. Among the stockholders |
is Mrs. Grace Elder Henry, of
Pine Grove Mills, who had a certifi- |
cate: for either four or. five shares, |
value $100 per share.
‘When she purchased her stock she |
placed the certificate in a small draw- !
er in her bureau and locked it up.
Her dividends came regularly and she
had no occasion to look up the ceertif.-
icate. But when she received the
letter calling the stock for redemption
she went to her bureau to get it but
instead of the nicely engraved stock
certificate she found a mouse nest.
The valuable paper had been chewed
into fragments so tiny that not
enough . could be found to tell the
number or the amount of the certifi
cate.
As the certificate was naturally
registered on the company’s books
Mrs. Henry will undoubtedly be able
to recover its value, but it will mean
going through the usual red tape pro-
cedure always necessary in such cases.
Last Installment of Dr. L. M. Colfelt’s
Interesting Biography.
The Watchman this week publishes
the last installment of Dr. L. M. Col-
felt’s very interesting personal biog-
raphy, and we know that those of
our readers who have been following
the doctor’s life story since it began
in this paper last October will regret
its ending as much as we do. Few
men have had the varied experience
of Dr. Colfelt and fewer vet would
be able to tell the story in the fas-
cinating and attractive style which
has characterized his writings. In
announcing the closing installment
the doctor wrote as follows:
This one will mark the end of my
story. I thank you for the painstak-
ing and correct manner of typing it,
and I unhesitatingly pronounce your
weekly to be the best printed, most
comprehensive, versatile, interesting
and informing weekly newspaper in
the State. Wishing you deserved
prosperity in the teeth of many ad-
verse conditions governing the issue
of all country newspapers, I am sin-
cerely,

Marine Flier Escapes Injury when
Plane is Wrecked.
First Lieut. V. W. Guymon, of
Quantico, Va., escaped injury when his
plane was wrecked out at the Belle-
fonte aviation field at noon on Sat-
urday. Lieut Guymon, piloting a
DeHaviland plane, was enroute from
Brown field, Quantico, Va., to Buffalo,
N. Y, and stopped at the Bellefonte
field for a supply of oil and gas.
When he was ready to leave he at-
tempted to take off to the northeast
instead of the west as mail pilots
usually do, and the heavy plane did not
lift as quickly as the lieutenant cal-
culated it would, with the result that
one of the wings caught the fence just
east of the big flood light and the ma-
chine was catapulted into Harry Tres-
sler’s wheat field.
The men at the field ran to the
wreck with fear and trembling for
Lieut. Guymon’s safety but when they
approached he crawled out of the
wreck with no injuries worth men-
tioning. The plane, however, was
badly smashed. The lieutenant ad-
mitted that he had misjudged the tak-
ing off qualities of the big ship, which
was much larger and heavier than the
navy plane he has been used to fly-
ing.
The crew at the aviation field sal-
vaged as much of the wreck as could
possibly be saved then burned the rest
off it,

Bellefonte Kiwanians Have Boy Scout
Night.
The reorganized troop of Belle-

Tuesday night, of the Bellefonte Ki-
wanis at their luncheon at the Brock-
erhoff house. The Scouts, thirty five
in number, were introduced individu-
ally by scout master “Doc” Williams.
Between courses, during the luncheon,
they vied with the Kiwanians in their
repertoire of songs.
Other guests at the luncheon includ- |
ed eight members
Kiwanis club, one
of the Huntingdon
of the number, Dr,
J. B. VanOrner, being the speaker of
the evening. His topic was “four
boys and some more boys, all good
scouts.” He compared the life of the
boy of today with that of Washington,
Liincoln, Garfield and Roosevelt, and
declared that if there had been Boy
Scouts in their day they surely would
have qualified. He further stated
that the Boy Scout movement is one
of the finest things of modern times
and he congratulated the Bellefonte
Kiwanis club for getting back of the
boys here. It is needless to say that
all the Scouts enjoyed the luncheon
and eveninig with the Kiwanians.
