Bold Attempt to Rob Angelo Genua,
Last Friday Night.
Two unknown men made a bold at-
tempt to rob Angelo Genua, the well
known Italian shoemaker in the Bush
Arcade, last Friday night, but were
prevented in accomplishing their pur-
pose solely through the pluck and
determination of Angelo who, though
small in stature, is capable of putting
up a stubborn resistance when it
comes to protecting his money and
his property.
The attempt at robbery took place
shortly after ten o’clock, just as
Angelo was in the act of closing up
for the night. Two strange men
entered the shop and made a small
purchase then went out and stood on
the pavement at one side of the door-
way. . Anthony Ficarra, Angelo’s as-
sistant, left the shop and started up
town and passersby were very few.
As Angelo put out the lights and was
in the act of shutting the door one of
the men stepped up to him and asked
if he would give him a poke of tobac-
co before he closed. Angelo re-enter-
ed his shop and both men followed
and once inside they slammed the
door shut and one of the men made a
grab for Angelo, seizing him by the
arm with one hand and by the throat
with the other.
But just as he attacked him Angelo
grabbed the string which turned on
the light and in the struggle the
string broke and the men were unable
to turn off the light. The man who
had hold of Angelo was much larger
than the little Italian and he pushed
him across the room and threw him
down on a chair at the end of the shoe
shining stand, still clutching his
throat. In the meantime the other
man ran behind the counter and tack-
led the cash register. But before he
could get it open Angelo managed to
squirm loose from his captor and he
promptly made for the man at the
register. The latter jumped over the
counter and both men then ran out of
the store and got away before Angelo
could call for help to capture them.
Fortunately they were foiled in their
attempt to rob. While the men were
strangers to Mr. Genua he is confi-
dent he will know them if he ever sees
them again.

in Erie, Pa., following an illness of a
year or longer.
He was a son of Daniel and Eliza

His early life was spent at the home
cf his birth but when a young man
he came to Bellefonte and for several
years was with his brother Edward in
the hardware business, later purchas-
ing the stationery store in the Belle-
fonte Trust company building which,
after a few years, he sold to J. D.
Hunter. Closing up his business af-
fairs here he moved to Erie where he
has since made his home. During
the world war Mr. Irwin served as an
inspector for the government in Can-
ada.
Mr. Irwin married Miss Bertha Wil-
liams, of Julian, who survives with
two sons, H. F. Irwin, of Erie, and
Daniel, a government engineer on the
Canal Zone. He is also survived by
his mother, living at Julian, one sis-

ville cemetery.

JACKSON.—Miss Annie Valentine
Jackson, a member of one of the old-
est and best known colored families in
Bellefonte, died at the borough home
last Saturday morning, following 2a
brief illness.
She was a daughter of Abram and
Hattie Jackson and was born in
Bellefonte over seventy years ago,
Ler parents having been brought here
by the Valentines about a century ago.
Her early life was spent here but she
eventually went to Virginia where she
made her home for many years, re-
turning to Bellefonte ten years or
more ago and taking up her abode
with her brother, the late Abram
Jackson. She was an industrious
woman and in addition to looking
after her brother’s household did
cooking and other housework for any
one desiring her services. Following
the death of her brother, over a year
ago, she lived for a time with Mrs.
James Lane and later made her home
with Mrs. Thomas Taylor. Several
months ago she went to the borough
home, where she spent her last days.
She was the last member of her
father’s family, and her only surviv-
ors are nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held in the
A. M. E. church, of which she was a
member, at 2.30 o’clock on Monday

HUNTER.—Francis J. Hunter, a
veteran of the Civil war, died at his
home at Axe Mann, last Friday, as
the result of complications incident to
his advanced age. Mr Hunter died in
the same house in which he was born
on September 1st, 1841, hence was
within a few days of being 86 years
old During the Civil war he served
as a private in Company H, Pennsyl-
vania volunteers. At the battle of
Chancellorsville his right arm was
shot off at the shoulder by a rebel
bullet, which naturally necessitated
his discharge.
Mr. Hunter’s wife died a number of
years ago and since then he had made
his home with Mr. and Mrs. James
Sommers, who occupy the old Hunter
homestead at Axe Mann . He had no
children and his only survivor is one
sister, Mrs. Margaret Gilberry, of
Elkhart, Ind.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at 2.30 c’clock on Sunday
afternoon by Rev. M. C. Piper, of
Milesburg, burial being made in the
Bellefonte Union cemetery.
Il ll
HAMILTON.—Peter Joseph Hamil-
ton, lawyer, judge and author, died
at Annistown, Ala., on July 13th, and
his passing away is of interest here
because of the fact that his prepara-
tory education for his illustrions
career was obtained at the Bellefonte
Academy in the early seventies. He
was a native of Mobile, Ala., and
came to the Academy from that city.
After completing his course at the
Academy he went to Princeton where
he graduated in 1879. He served for
seven years as federal judge in Porto
Rico under President Wilson’s ad-
ministrations, and was the author of
a dozen or more books.
Judge and Mrs. Hamilton spent a
good part of last summer in Belle-
fonte as guests at the McGarvey
home, on north Spring street, and
Bellefonte people who met him during
his sojourn here were much impressed
with his southern gallantry and cour-
teous manner. I
Il
NORTHAMER.—Martin A. North-
amer, a native of Centre county, died
in the Mercy hospital, Pittsburgh,
last Thursday, following a brief ill-
ness. He was a son of George and
Hannah Northamer and was born at
Stormstown almost fifty-nine years
ago. Early in life he located in Phil-
ipsburg where he worked at his trade
as a carpenter, later going to Pitts-
burgh. He never married but is sur-
vived by two brothers and two sisters,
James and Dorsey Northamer and
Mrs. John Cowher, of Philipsburg,
and Mrs. Jacob Griffin, of Storms-
town. The remains were taken to
Philipsburg where burial was made
on Sunday afternoon.

FLECE > ror. Lindley N. Fleck,
who a number of years ago was pas-
tor on the Lutheran charge at Pine
Grove Mills, died on Tuesday evening
of last week at his home in Woodland,
Clearfield county, aged 77 years.
Rev. Fleck married Miss Emma
Henderson, of Julian, this county, who
survives. He also leaves a number of
brothers and sisters living in Blair
county. Burial was made in the
Grandview cemetery, Tyrone, on
Sunday.
National Air Derby will Draw Large
Crowd to Bellefonte.
Though the national air derby is |
vet almost a month away many in-
quiries are being received from peo-
ple throughout the State relative to
the number of ships that will stop
here, the program to be carried out,
etc. As Bellefonte is the only place
between New York and Cleveland that
any of the ships are scheduled to stop,
it is already manifest that a large
crowd will be on hand early on the
morning of September 19th, the day
for the start of the derby.
According to Major John T.
Fancher, managing director of the
derby, over seventy-five ships have
already been entered. Up to this
time, however, they have not been cat-
alogued, so it is not known how many
of them will be placed in Class A or
how many in Class B. Class A ships
are not scheduled to stop in Belle-
fonte, but it is permissible for them
to do so. If they run into adverse
wind currents and the pilots find their
supply of gas and oil running low,
they can stop in Bellefonte for refuel-
ing. All Class B ships, however,
must stop in Bellefonte for a period
of five minutes. This, it is believed,
will give ample time to take on a sup-
ply of gas and oil and make an in-
spection of ships, if necessary. = |
The fact that Bellefonte is going
to put up $500 in prize money to be
paid to the three ships making the
best record between New York and
Bellefonte will undoubtedly be an in-
centive to the pilots to put forth their
best efforts on the first lap of the
derby.

“Hit and Run” Driver Arrested by
Sheriff Taylor.

|
| arrested Clarence Stickler, of Spring
| Mills, as the “hit and run” driver
who, on the night of July 22nd, ran
down Nestor Gentzel, 24 year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. R. Moyer Gentzel, on
i the public highway about midnight be-
tween Centre Hall and Spring Mills,
and left him lie in the road where he
was found the next morning by W.
Harrison Walker, while on a trip down
Pennsvalley. Edward Rhine, aged 15,
and who was with Stickler at the
time of the accident, was also placed
under arrest and both are now beng
fe for court in the Centre county
jail.
Rhine is the owner of the car but
being too young to secure a driver's
permit Stickler, who has a driver's
license, was at the wheel. While the
young men have not made a complete
confession they admit that they were
up near Centre Hall that night and
have told enough to almost definitely
connect them with the accident.
In the meantime Gentzel is still a
patient in the Centre County hospital
but he is getting along as well as can
be expected for a man who had both
legs broken and was otherwise in-
jured, and it is believed now that when
‘be fully recovers he will be as good a

Hiking is now proving the popular
pastime of the boys of the Bellefonte
Y. M. C. A. The last experience of
this kind was an over night hike last

land and take off before dark. They
also saw the mail plane come in and

Centre County Soldiers Return Home.
Centre county’s contingents of the
National Guard, the head-quarters
troop and Troop B, of Bellefonte, and
Troop A, 52nd machine gun batallion,
of Boalsburg, returned home last Sat-
urday afternoon from their two
week’s encampment at Mt. Gretna.
The boys were covered with grime
and dirt, and also no small share of
glory, as Troop B won the largest
trophy cup for machine gun problems
on the 1,000 yard range and Troop A
won the cup in the field firing con-
test.
The only regrettable incident in
connection with the camp was the fact
that George Ray, a member of the
headquarters troop, was stricken with
appendicitis, last Thursday night, and
had to be taken to a Lebanon hospital
for an operation. He is now getting
along a well as can be expected.
——Included in the faculty of the

Features of the Forthcoming W. C. T.
U. Convention.
One of the features of the county
W. C. T. U. convention, to be held at
Port Matilda on September 15th, will
be a gold medal declamatory contest,
at the evening session, between young
people from Unionville, Blanchard,
Wingate, Millheim, State College and
Pleasant Gap. Each of the contest-
ants already holds a silver medal won
in competition with a class in their
own community.
The county contests are under the
direction of Mrs. V. C. Ridge, of
Blanchard. Many young orators have
been discovered through contests of
this kind and encouraged to fit them-
selves for public speaking. Prepara-
tions are also being made to put on a
one act play at the same session.

Sacco and Vanzetti Electrocuted at
Charlestown State Prion.
Notwithstanding world-wide at-
tempts to save their lives Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were
electrocuted in the Charlestown State
prison, at Boston, Mass., shortly after
midnight on Tuesday morning, and
thus ended the career of two confess-
ed anarchists whose fate caused up-
risings in half a dozen countries.
Celestino Madeiros preceded them
to the electric chair by a few minutes,
the world-known radicals following as
rapidly as the execution routine would
permit.
Madeiros died at 12.09 a. m., for
the murder of a Wrentham bank
cashier. Sacco and Vanzetti were
executed for the murder of a pay
master and his guard at Braintree
more than seven years ago. Sacco
was dead at 12.19 and Vanzetti at
12.26.
Inside and outside of the high pri-
son wall stood a small army of armed
guards. Waiting also were the press
wires to inform the world that the
long fight to save the men was at an
end. The fight in behalf of the men
i continued until the last minute.
Both Sacco and Vanzetti made brief
speeches in the death chamber before
they took their seats in the chair,
Vanzetti protesting his innocence to
, the last.
Sacco, pale but steady shouted in
Italian:
“Long live Anarchy”
down in the chair.
Then in broken English he went on:
“Farewell my wife and child and all
my friends.”
i The straps were being adjusted as
| he said last words:
| “Good evening gentlemen. Farewell
mother.”
Vanzetti entered the death cham-
, ber the calmest of all the three men.
: Shaking hands with two of the guards
as he came through the door of the
execution chamber, he walked unas-
Sige to the chair and seated him-
self.
i As the guards began the hasty ad-
' justment of straps to his head and
, body he began a speech.
In the broken English that char-
; acterized his dramatic plea for ‘justice’
i when sentence was passed on him in
Dedham on April 9, he declared:
“I wish to tell you I am innocent
‘and never connected with any crime,
| but sometime some sin. I thank you
| for everything you have done for me.
I am innocent of all crime not only
of this one but all. I am an innocent
man.”
Then just as the guards slipped the
straps and head cap in place, cutting
off further speech, he shouted:
“I wish to forgive some people for
what they are now doing to me.”
The crime for which Nicola Sacco
rand Bartolomeo Vanzetti were sen-
| tenced to die was a double murder.
i On the morning of April 15, 1920,
i Frederick A. Parmenter, paymaster,
and Alexander Berardelli, his guard,
{arrived at the factory of Slater and
{ Morrill company, South Braintree,
near Boston, to pay off employes.
{ They carried, in satchels, $15,776. As
i they were about to enter the factory
| door, two men approached and fired
i at them. Both fell mortally wounded.
| The two robbers grabbed the
| satchels. An automobile, which had
i been waiting nearby, sped up to the
curb. The satchels were thrown in
as he sat
{and the two robbers clambered into |
| the ear, which was driven off at high
| speed.
| “Old Ironsides” on its Third Capacity
| Week at the Nixon Theatre,
Pittsburgh.
The high entertaining quality of
the great Paramount picture “Old |!
' Ironsides” presented by Adolph Zukor |
and Jesse L. Lasky, at the Nixon
: Theatre, Pittsburgh, for its third and |
| positively last week, is re vonsible
{ for the tremendous popularit of this |
| epic of the sea, one of the greatest
jand truest historical dramas ever
' seen on the screen.
| Laurence Stallings, author of “The
i Big Parade” wrote the story, and
| Spangler, Roy Wilkinson, Bob Wilk- | James Cruze, who spent nearly $2,-
000,000 on the production, directed it.
The principal players, whose mimetic
art adds so much to the human qual-
ity of the picture are: Charles Far-
rell, Esther Ralston, Wallace Beery,
| George Bancroft, Charles Mailes,
Johnny Walker, Eddie Fetherston
and George Godfrey.
They were supported by over two
thousand sailors and marines.
“Old Ironsides” as a picture deals
with only one of the many stirring
episodes in the active life of the U. S.
S. Constitution, the part she took in
carrying the Stars and Stripes to
glory on a foreign shore, and her
winning of the freedom of the seas
from the Barbary pirates.
But the real glory of the beautiful
frigate which in the picture “Old
Ironsides” you see brought to life
again and breaking the waves with all
sails set like “A full-breasted swan”
come after this.
Full glory was to come to “Old
Ironsides” during the war of 1812, to
be won in a single battle, Captain
Isaac Hull was her Commander then.
