have shown up remarkably well in the
CRIMINAL COURT ENDS.
CIVIL CASES THIS WEEK.
sn—
A Number of Actions Continued for
Various Causes.
Among the last cases tried in quar-
ter sessions court last week was that
of the Commonwealth vs. William
Houtz, Wiliam Emenhizer and Jacob
Zong, indicted for neglecting and re-
fusing to maintain a public road.
Prosecutor, N. W. Williams. This
case was from College township, and
the defendants being the supervisors,
were prosecuted for neglecting and re-
fusing to maintain a public road lead-
ing from Lemont south towards the
mountain. After hearing two witness-
es the case was nol prossed and the
county required to pay the costs.
Russel Fleisher and Oscar Woles-
lagle, who were prosecuted for steal-
ing the money of Oscar Hanson, in
Union township, an account of which
was given at the time of their arrest,
appeared in court and plead guilty and
sentence was suspended and the de-
fendants given six months to pay the
costs.
Court convened on Monday morning
and the following cases on the second
week’s list were disposed of:
Neal Graffius vs. Steve Sawkiw,
being an action in trespass. Contin-
ued.
J. E. Weaver vs. B. C. Dotterer, be-
ing an action in trespass. Contin-
ued on account of the defendants be-
ing quarantined.
James E. Starrett vs. Harry Spec-
tor and David Swabb, trading as Wil-
liamsport Auto Parts company, being
an action in trespass. Continued on
the absence of a material witness.
M.. I. Gardner vs. Highland Clay
Products company, a corporation, be-
ing ‘an action in assumpsit. ‘Settled.
- John C. Marks vs. Penn Mutual Fire |
Insurance company, of Chester coun-
ty, being an action in assumpsit. This
case went to trial on Monday on the
convening of court, and grows out of
a fire and destruction of the plaintiff’s
house and barn, most of his household
goods; all of his implements and three
horses, in Taylor township, on the
morning of the 20th day of December,
1928. This was the second trial of this
case, the first trial having been re-
ported about a year ago. Verdict on
Tuesday afternoon in favor of the
plaintiff for $2455.00, with interest
from March 31, 1924.
Dr. Celestin Simr, Vice-Consul of
the Consulate of the Czecho-Slovak
Republic of Pittsburgh, attorney-in-
fact for John Mintuch (John Mento),
vs. National Union Fire Insurance
company, of Pittsburgh, being an ac-
tion in assumpsit growing cut of a
fire and destruction of his house at
Ghemwood, in Rush township, early
in 1926, the same having been in-
sured by two different insurance com-
panies. The consulate brought . this
action for the plaintiff to recover from
the companies, the companies defend-
ing on the ground that. there would
be a pro rata between them, and that
the property was not of the value as
claimed atythe'time of getting the in-
surance and was not’ worth near the
figure sued for. This case went to
trial on Tuesday afternoon and was
settled on Tuesday evening.
Centre County’s Ballots Impounded by
U. S. Marshals.
D. A. Gould, deputy United States
marshal; John R. Colan and Henry
Ott, assistant deputies, all of Secran-
ton, arrived in Bellefonte on Monday
morning and promptly got busy on the
job of impounding the ballots cast at
last November’s election in Centre
county. Charles Bullock, John J.
Bower Jr., Joseph Herman and Gid-
eon Payhe, were sworn in as assist-
ants, and George Jodon, George Est-
right, “Toots” Wilson and Sam Cap-
arelle were sworn in as truck drivers
and the entire force got busy.
A consignment of sixty-four regis-
tered mail sacks were shipped to
Bellefonte in which to put the ballots,
which does away with the necessity
of taking away the ballot boxes and
later returning the same. When the
deputy marshal discovered that there
are sixty-five election precincts in the
county he promptly ordered another
mail sack, so that the ballots and all
papers pertaining thereto of each elec-
tion district are deposited in one bag,
which is then locked and properly la-
beled. All the bags were brought to
Bellefonte and deposited in the grand
jury room in the court house, which
was carefuly locked, and where the
ballots were kept until Tuesday night
when they were taken to Williamsport.
As all the expense of gathering the
ballots has been guaranteed by Wil-
liam 8. Vare and William B. Wilson,
the two Senatorial candidates last
fall, and the two men interested in
the election contest, there has been no
cost to Centre county in the gathering
of the ballots.
Big Buck Killed by Autoist on Sun-
day Evening.
On Sunday ‘evening, about 9:45
o'clock, Harry Lucas, of Moshannon,
started on a trip to Snow Shoe in his
car. On Indian Grave hill a big four
pronged- buck jumped out in front of
the car, was knocked down and its left
front leg broken at the shoulder. Mr.
Lucas killed and dressed the deer then
notified game protector Thomas G.
Mosier who went to Snow Shoe and
brought the carcass to Bellefonte.
The buck was unusually fat and
dressed 159 pounds. The meat was
turned over to the Centre County hos-
two games already played.

Centre County Jail Delivery Nipped in
Bud.
. Suspicious actions of two prison-
ers in the Centre county jail and a
| quiet tip from another prisoner re-
sulted in nipping in the bud, this
week, of what might have resulted in
an attempted jail delivery in the near
future. The tip was given sheriff
Taylor to watch the Molyneaux
brothers, two of the men who were
caught in the act of escaping from
‘Rockview penitentiary on the even-
ing of September 15th. Consequent-
ly, on Tuesday, sheriff Taylor and
Harry E. Dunlap made a search of
the cell in which the brothers are
detained and found that they had
broken one of the legs from their
iron bed and in some way had sharp-
ended one end of the broken leg al-
most to a dagger point. Whether
they had intended it for use as a
weapon to fight their way to liberty
or as an implement to dig out through
the stone wall is, of course, not known.
Nothing else, however, was found in
the cell, but to frustrate any further
action of like character the sheriff
removed the iron bed from the cell
and placed the mattress on the floor,
where the men will have to sleep in
the future.
The Molyneaux brothers, Leslie and
William, it will be recalled, were
nabbed by penitentiary officials just
as they and Hampton Boyd, of Phila-
delphia, and Floyd Goodstall, of
Bradford county, crawled through a
hole they had cut in the barbed wire
stockade on the evening of Septem-
ber 15th. Thus far the four men
have steadfastly refused to plead
guilty and as the grand jury had
completed their work when the at-
tempted escape took place they could
not be tried at the September term
of court last week.
Th Molyneaux brothers were con-
victed in Lycoming county on May
17th, 1927, for the robbery of Kings-
ley Bros. store, at Masten, just eleven
days previous. The safe was taken
from the store, hauled a mile away
in a truck and blown open with dyna-
mite, $2700 being taken. Leslie
Molyneaux was given 5 to 10 years
in the penitentiary and William 43
to 9.

Bellefonte Woman’s Club,
The first meeting of the Bellefonte
Woman’s Club was held in the High
school building, Monday evening,
September 26th, with forty members
present.
The work of the three departments,
civic, educational and charity, were
thoroughly discussed and plans made
for the intensive activity in the club
work for the coming year.
Appropriations were made for the
library in the Y. M. C. A. building and
for the Sea Shore House for crippled
children at Atlantic City. ot
Mrs. Ebon Bower and Mrs. D. I.
Willard were appointed delegates to
represent the Club at the State conven-
tion of Federated Clubs, to be held in
Pittsburgh October 10th to 14th.
A report ofthe meeting of the tu-
berculosis seal sale at Lewistown was |
given by Mrs. Shallcross.
The Program committee is at work
on a program which cannot fail to be
entertaining to the club members.
A pleasant feature of the club meet-
ing was the social hour enjoyed in
the cafeteria, where a dainty lunch
was served by Miss Helen Mackey,
teacher of home economics, and her
able assistants.
Penitentiary Would Not Take Mrs.
Mabel Craig.
In the regular court report publish-
ed in the Watchman last week men-
tion was made of the severe sentence
meted out to Charles Emel for
inveigling his cousin, Catherine Emel,
a minor and ward of the juvenile
court, into marriage, and also Mrs.
Mabel Craig and Harvey Walker as
accessories, each sentenced to pay a
fine of $1000 and two to four years
in the western penitentiary.
But the penitentiary authorities re-
fused to receive Mrs. Craig, stating
that they have no place to keep fe-
male prisoners, and the result is she
is still in the Centre county jail.
The two men, Charles Emel and
Harvey Walker, were taken to the
penitentiary on Friday and officials
there stated that it was the first time
any one had been committed to that
institution for the crime for which
Emel and Walker had been convicted.
Huntingdon Presbytery Held Fall
Meeting.
The fall meeting of the Huntingdon
Presbytery was held at Belleville on
Monday and Tuesday. Rev. W. C.
Thompson, of Bellefonte, preached the
opening sermon. Two ministers were
released from Presbytery because of
a desire to retire and two because of
accepting calls in other Presbyteries.
Among the delegates elected to the
annual meeting of the Snyod of Penn-
sylvania, to be held in Chester were
Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick, of Centre
Hall, and elder Charles Thompson, of
Lemont. Rev. Walter K. Harnish
was elected a trustee to fill out the
unexpired term of the late Rev. R. M.
Campbell.
——The county conference of wo-
men’s clubs will be held in Philipsburg
Saturday, October 22nd. All women’s
organizations are asked to send rep-
resentatives, with reports, to this
meeting. Further particulars next
week.
FARMERS NATIONAL
OPENED SATURDAY.
Bellefonte’s New Bank Starts Out
Most Auspiciously.
The Farmers National bank, Belle-
fonte’s new banking institution, got
away to a most auspicious start, on
Saturday morning, notwithstanding
the fact that they were short on furn-
iture and the bank books and check
books did not arrive until some time
‘after the doors were opened promptly
at nine o’clock. But they had plenty
of money on hand and as the bulk of
‘Saturday’s business consisted of re-
ceiving ‘deposits the delinquency in
the delivery of the check books was
not such a serious matter.
As ‘an indication of the faith of the
public in the new institution is the fact
that the deposits on Saturday amount-
ed to $75,000. Four men were kept
busy most all the time, from the open-
ing of the bank at nine o’clock in the
morning until it closed at nine o’clock
in the evening. The force included
the bank’s president, Rev. Reed O.
Steely, Horace G. Work, cashier; Ben
Sterling, cashier of the First Nation-
al bank of Burnside, a personal
friend of cashier Work, and who came
over especially to help out at the
cpening, and T. Scott Root, a cashier
:in the First National bank, of Phila-
delpha, which will be the Farmers Na-
tonal city correspondent. Of course
Miss Betty Musser was also on hand
and was one of the busiest persons of
the whole crowd. Vice president W.
C. Smeltzer spent the greater part of
{the day in the bank but his duties
consisted mostly in extending the glad
‘hand. Favors for both men and wo-
men were distributed.
As has been stated frequently in
the Watchman the new bank is oc-
cupying the old Centre County Bank-
ing company building which has been
purchased outright and which has
been completely done over and chang-
ed on the inside to meet the require-
ments of the institution. New furni-
ture was purchased, although it
did not arrive until Monday, but
every arrangement has been made
with an eye to economy, which au-
gurs well for the success of the insti-
tution. One of the bank’s main pur-
chases was a bank bookkeeping ma-
chine, which is one of the very latest
models and will do away entirely with
the bulky and cumbersome bank ledg-
ers. In connection with the installa-
tion of this machine the bank has is-
sued the following statement:
“In establishing a policy of using
the most satisfactory methods known
to the banking business, we have in-
stalled a new Burroughs multiple
register bank bookkeeping machine.
This machine might almost be call-
ed a mechancal bookkeeper, except
that it does things that the old-time
pen and ink bookkeeper could not do.
It not only adds and subtracts auto-
matically, but it posts ledgers and
writes customer’s statements. Then,
just as a side line, it proves the ac-
curacy of its own work.
One practical test of the new ma-
chine is to compute columns of fig-
{ures both across the ledger page and
;up and down at the same time. In
actual bookkeeping, this feature en-
(ables the machine to add deposits,
i subtract checks and extend new bal-
, ances on each account, and simultan-
i eously to carry totals of the deposits.
I withdrawals and new balances for all
' accounts.
I We have installed this new machine
(with the earnest desire to give our
customers the best possible service
and the highest form of accounting
protection.”
Air Derby Officials Express Thanks to
Bellefonte People.
Robert F. Hunter, who had charge
cf the arrangements for the national
air derby at the Bellefonte aviation
field, on September 19th, has received
letters from Walter Evans, president
of the executive committee that had
charge of the derby, and Major John
T. Fancher, managing director, both
of Spokane, Washington, expressing
their thanks for the interest taken in
the derby in Bellefonte and the effi-
cient way in which everything was
handled by Mr. Hunter and his var-
ious committees. Major Fancher
stated that all the pilots in the Class
B derby who stopped in Bellefonte
were greatly pleased with the treat-
ment they received here and the
promptness in refueling their ships
and getting them off on the second
leg of their flight to Cleveland.

Philipsburg Police Officer Sent to Jail.
J. C. Wedekind, a former police of-
ficer in Philipsburg and constable in
the Third ward of that town, plead
guilty in court, last week to illegal
possession of liquor, driving an auto-
mobile while under the influence of
liquor and resisting arrest, and was

and serve nine months in the county
jail. bo
Officer Wedekind, during his career
as a police officer, was quite active in
arresting alleged violators of the li-
quor law but was caught, himself,
when he fell by the wayside.
——A number of civilian fliers
and they must have been strangers
in this section as one of them came
down on Halfmoon hill on the hunt of
the aviation field. Told its location
the man took to the air and flew out
to the field. Two fliers came down
cn the emergency field, at Woodward,
and made inquiry as to their where-
abouts.

Saturday’s Football Games. ~ '
The Bucknell Freshmen football
team threw a scare into the Belle-
fonte Academy eleven, on Hughes
field last Friday afternoon, when they
scored a touchdown in the second
period and held the Academy score-
less at the end of the first half. But
the strong Academy eleven rallied to
the exhortations of coach Magee and
in the third period put the pigskin
over the goal line for three touch-
downs, adding an extra one in the
fourth, so that the final score was 25
to 12 in favor of the Academy.
“Spooks” Temple, right halfback, was
the Academy’s star player and point
maker,
The last game for the Academy
eleven will be played on Hughes field,
this (Friday) afternoon, at 2:30
o'clock. The Villa Nova Freshmen
will make their first appearance in
Bellefonte that day to try conclusions
with the Academy Cougars. They
are a very strong and well coached
team, executing the Notre Dame plays
to the letter. Last Saturday they
went to Easton and defeated the
Lafayette Freshmen. The Academy
boys are profiting by their valuable
experience in their first two games
and are expected to show wonderful
improvement in this coming contest.
Owing to the expense involved in
bringing the visitors here Mr. Hughes
is compelled to charge $1.00 for ad-
mission. The fans will get their mon-
ey’s worth, for the Villa Nova boys
have one of the best Freshmen teams
in the country.
Up at State College State defeated
the Gettysburg team 34 to 13. The
State team showed much better form
than it did the week previous against
Lebanon Valley, and supporters of the
Blue and White are now indulging
fond hopes that the team may prove
a season’s winner,
The Bellefonte High school opened
its season on Hughes field, Saturday
morning, in a game with the Howard
High school, defeating the. visitors by
the score of 39 to 0. Almost every
i boy on the High school squad was put
in the game for practice. Tomorrow
the High school will go to Altoona to
play the High school there, and that
will be a better test of the team’s
playing ability.
——Bellefonte High school, after a
39 to 0 workout against Howard last
Saturday, will swing into real action
this Saturday when they will attempt
to put across the third consecutive
victory over Altoona High school on
Cricket field, at Altoona. Though
several vital positions have been
weakened through graduation and in-
eligibility of some half dozen likely
looking candidates, coach Bream’s
charges are working hard to perfect
a smoothly working combination
which will be a credit to the local
High school. The game on Saturday
will be a western conference game,
of which organization Bellefonte is a
member this year for the first time.
