the place to take that is at the

——Last week we stated that Col.
James A. McClain, of Spangler and
Bellefonte, was seriously ill in a hos-
pital in Harrisburg. It appears that
our informant was in error asto the
illness that seized the Colonel while
in Harrisburg at a meeting of a coal
company in which he is interested.
He was temporarily indisposed, but
there was nothing alarming about it;
just one of- those little transitory up-
sets that we all get. And we are
mighty happy to learn that the Col-
onel is quite himself again and fig-
ures on living “tobe a very old man,
barring the advent of some bug that
I know nothing of now.”
| JUDICIAL CONTEST
LOOMS IN OFFING
Six Philipsburg Voters Petition for
Recount in 2nd and 3rd Wards—
Recount to Start Today.
A judicial contest for Centre county
looms in the offing and possibly with
it a contest for the office of Prothono-
tary.
On Saturday two petitions were
presented in the court of common
pleas of Centre county asking for a
recount of the votes cast in the sec-
ond and third wards of Philipsburg.
The petition from the second ward
was signed by Joseph E. Denning,
Grace Jones Denning and Mary John-
ston Voyce, and that from the third
ward by Esther Slee, Robert E. Gill
and Anna Hoffer. The petitions were
presented under a new act passed at
the last session of the Legislature
and signed by Governor Fisher on
April 3rd, 1927.
The petitioners allege as their be-
lief that there were irregularities in
the election in the wards designated,
that there was not a correct computa-
tion of the votes cast, and that their
contention is based on information al-
leged to have been obtained by them
at the polls and from other sources.
Judge Furst promptly granted the
request of the petitioners by issuing
a decree directing Sheriff E. R. Tay-
lor to seize the ballot boxes of the
two wards specified and place his seal
upon them at place of seizure, then
deliver them to the Court along with
the keys. The Court also appointed
as members of a board to make the
recount Charles F. Cook, Robert F.
Hunter, Eben B. Bower, of Bellefonte,
and Thomas Byron and P. E. Womels-
dorf, of Philipsburg.
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, was
the time originally set in the decree
to begin the count, but owing to
Judge Furst’s having made prior ar-
rangements to go to Philadelphia to
hold court this week, and for other
reasons, the count was postponed un-
til 9.30 o'clock this (Friday) morning.
Mr. Walker is being represented in
the proceedings by former Judge El-
lis L. Orvis, while M. Ward Flem-
ing, who has already been certified
to the Secretary of the Common-
wealth as having been elected Judge
of Centre county, will be represented
by John Blanchard and N. B. Spang-
ler, Esqs.
The act of ‘April 3rd, 1927, under
which the proceeding has been insti-
tuted, requires the petitioner to make
a deposit of $50 for each district in
which a recount is asked to cover the
expense of same, but when the re-
count is completed if the allegations
made by the petitioners are ' found
correct the deposit is returned and
the costs put on the county. If the
allegations are not sustained, how-
ever, the deposit is forfeited.
If the recount in the second and
third wards of Philipsburg show suf-
ficient disparity in the total vote to
warrant it Mr. Walker will ask for a
recount in some five or six other pre-
cinets, wim ws ,
If the beard of computation finds
evidence of fraud (not wilful nor in-
tentional, but through negligence 1
irregularities upon the part of the
election boards), Mr. Walker can then
file papers in contest with the At-
torney General of the State under the
provisions of the act of 1874. If the
evidence presented should meet with
the Attorney General’s approval he
will then refer it to the Governor,
whose duty it will be to appoint three
president judges in districts nearest
to Centre county, to conduct the con-
test and dispose of it according to
law.
It will be recalled that the official
vote of Centre county showed M.
Ward Fleming as having been elected
over W. Harrison Walker by the nar-
row margin of 58 votes, so that it
will not require many irregularities to
overcome that margin. But a recount
having been started, if there is a pos-
sibility of it showing sufficient dif-
ference from the original count to
elect Mr. Walker over Mr. Fleming
the latter will have the right to de-
mand a recount of the vote in every
precinct, so that there is no telling
‘where the thing. will end.
And now that it has been started it
is alleged that Roy Wilkinson,’ who
was defeated for Prothonotary by S.
Claude Herr by only 25 votes, may
also file papers in a recount so that
he may have the advantage of all dis-
crepancies discovered, if any. Of
course it is equally possible that a
recount may be in Mr. Herr’s favor.
Kiwanians Will Remember Crippled
Children,
At the regular noon luncheon of the
Bellefonte Kiwanis club, last week,
the members voted to give a Christ-
mas present to every crippled child
in this section of the county, the
amount to be approximately one dol-
lar to each. It is estimated it will
require about $60 to go around.
By loaning cars the Kiwanians aid-
.ed in making Centre county the only
county in the State in which all the
school children in the sixth and eighth
grades were given intelligence tests.
The club also went on record as
voicing a protest against the remov-
.al of the State Highway offices from
Bellefonte to Clearfield. The minutes
of the previous meeting showed that |
$50 had been donated to take the
American Legion drum corps to Lock
Haven on Thanksgiving for the foot-
ball game,

Train Ride Alone.
_ Billy Nolan, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joe Nolan, of Bellefonte, had an
experience on Thanksgiving day
which surpasses that of any other
youngster of his age and size. He
was on the street watching the ex-
citement of the Odd Fellows’ band,
the American Legion drum corps and
automobile after automobile leave for
Lock Haven for the High school foot-
ball game and his little heart yearned
to be among those present. He tried
to sneak into one of the Emerick mo-
tor busses but was foiled in the at-
tempt. Then he tried the Tice bus
by way of Bald Eagle Valley, but
was put off of that. :
Not to be outdone he went to the
railroad station and when the Lehigh
train pulled in he crawled on and took
a seat as nonchalantly as if he were
a paying passenger. When the con-
ductor made his rounds he noticed
Billy but supposed he was the child
of a paying passenger and gave him
no further attention. When the train
reached Lock Haven the boy got off
but he saw no evidences of a football
game in the vicinity of the station
so he loitered around until the Buffalo
fiyer west came along, and when it
stopped Billy crawled on and took
a seat for another car ride.
The conductor on that train noticed
the lad and made inquiries about
him, and being convinced that he
didn’t belong to anybody on the train
put him off at Renovo and had him
sent back to Lock Haven on the next
train, which arrived there shortly af-
ter 6 o'clock. By dint of considerable
questioning railroad officials at Lock
Haven got enough information from
the boy to learn who he was and that
his home was in Bellefonte."
In the meantime his mother here
was almost distracted over the ab-
sence of Billy. She hunted every-
where for him but without success,
and it was not until 6.30 o’clock that
a telephone call from Lock Haven
informed her of the whereabouts of
the child. Securing an automobile the
mother went to Lock Haven and
brought Billy home, none the worse
for his experience.
The Andy Lytle Memorial Cabin and
Its Use.
Student members of the Y. M. C.
A. at the Pennsylvania State College
have completed the building of a
stone and lob cabin in the Tussey
mountain within three miles of the
campus, and one of its uses will be
the holding of religious conferences
there at suitable intervals.
The cabin was erected on land giv-
en by “Andy” Lytle, who has earned
the title of Penn State’s oldest foot-
ball “rooter” and a warm friend of
students since the first class entered
the institution in 1859. The cabin«fs
called the “Andy Lytle Memorial
:Cabin,” and is a great convenience to
students at all seasons of the year
in. the mountains.
real use this week-end, when a special
conference for students will be held
there under the direction of Henry P.
Van Dusen, prominent “Y” worker
from New York city. Discussion
groups will consist of representa-
tives from the various fraternities and
social organizations. About 75 men
students will stay at the cabin over
Friday night, and on Saturday a dele-
gation of 25 women students will par-
ticipate in the conference that is to
be held under the ideal conditions pre-
sented in the beautiful setting of the
cabin on the mountainside overlook-
ing the college campus.

State College and Spring Mills Have
Slight Fires,
Just about noon, on Saturday, fire
broke out in the bake shop of Har-
vey’s bakery, at State College, and
had gained some headway by the time
the firemen arrived upon the scene.
Once there, however, they ‘did good
work and extinguished the flames be-
fore they broke out and communicat-
as. an objective for hikes and outings |
The cabin will come in for some
damage done by the fire was less than
$2,000, but the entire interior was
well water-soaked.
On Sunday evening fire was discoy-
ered in the interior of the hotel at |
Spring Mills and as it looked quite
dangerous an appeal for assistance |
was sent to Bellefonte. The Logans
responded but were headed off en-
route and returned home, as the fire
was extinguished without much dam-
age having been done.

Billy Nolan, Aged Four, Takes Long INTERESTING SESSIONS
OF COUNTY FARMERS
At Annual Meeting of Agricultural
Extension Association.
The tenth annual meeting of the
Centre county Agricultural Extension
Association was held at Bellefonte on
Saturday of last week. The meetings
in the forenoon convened at 10 o’clock
in the court house. Reports were
made by R. C. Blaney, county agri-
cultural agent, and Miss Mary Rey-
nolds, home economics worker for Cen-
tre county. These reports showed the
type and amount of work done this
year by both departments.
A feature of the morning session
was a talk by Professor H. G. Niss-
ley, assistant director of extension,
State College, on co-operation, also a
talk by Miss Colt on interior decora-
tion. The latter was given at a special
ladies’ session,
At 12.30 the meeting adjourned to
the Y. M. C. A., where an excellent
dinner was served by the Ladies’
Auxiliary of the Y, M. C. A. A very
instructive and entertaining talk was
given by R. G. Bressler, Deputy Sec-
retary of Agriculture, of Harrisburg,
following dinner. Mr. Bressler ex-
plained the protective work done by
the Department of Agriculture on
controlling pests, such as the corn
borer, Japanese bettle, gypsy ‘moth,
{ and tuberculosis of cattle. Community
singing, led by Russell Blair, of Belle-
fonte, was a feature of the program.
The afternoon session was held in
the Scenic theatre, where several films
on dairying and country life were
shown. This feature of the program
was very instructive and entertaining’
and was enjoyed by all.
Delegates were present from all
sections of Centre county and many
of those present expressed themselves
by saying the day was well spent and
those who missed the meeting missed
something worth while. There were
over 125 in attendance, including men
and women.
This is the tenth year for agricul-
tural extension work in Centre coun-
ty and the results show an increase
in accomplishments each year. The
reports as given this year show an
average of one and a fraction farm
contacts or piece of agricultural in-
formation given out for each of the
2,500 farms in Centre county. This
is the average and does not mean
that work was done directly with each
farm.
The following officers were elect-
ed for next year: President, J. Foster
Musser, State College; vice-president,
J. K. Alexander, Julian; secretary, J.
T. Henry, Martha Furnace; treasurer,
W. C. Smeltzer, Bellefonte. A man
from each community will be selected
by the officers to serve as a member
of the executive committee.

Emerick Motor Bus Wrecked on Trip |
_. to Lock. Haven. -
One of the Emerick motor busses,
loaded with Bellefonte people enroute
to the football game at Lock Haven,
on Thanksgiving day, was wrecked on
the turn this side of Hublersburg
when it collided with a skidding car
driven by H. P. Schoolcraft, of Lock
Haven. Ralph Moerschbacher was the
driver of the bus and, according to
his story, as he rounded the curve he
was confronted with the oncoming car
on the wrong side of the road. The
driver attempted to get out of the
way but the road was very slippéry,
his car skidded and the bus crashed
into it.
The front axle of the bus was brok-
en and the left front wheel crushed,
but the driver managed to steer it to
te right of the road where it ran
into a farmer’s yard fence and came
to a stop without overturning and
without injuring any of the occupants.
The car, however, was badly wrecked
and a young lady occupant suffered
a broken arm. She was taken to the
office of Dr. McCormick where first
aid was administered and she was
then taken to her home in Lock Hav-
en. The people in the bus were picked’
up by other motorists and taken to:
Lock Haven in time to see the game.
On the same day sheriff-elect Har-
ed to adjoining buildings. The actual | I+ Dunlap and wife had an acci-
dent while on their way to the ‘game,
when their car skidded and upset. Mr.
Dunlap had one arm cut and bruised
but his wife escaped injury.
Boy Run Down by Auto.
George J. Duck, five-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. William Duck, of Mill-
heim, is in the Centre County hos-
pital as the result of serious injuries
sustained at noon, on Tuesday, when
he was run down by an automobile
driven by Elmer Duck, of Madison-
burg. The accident happened on the
street in Millheim right in front of
the boy’s home, when he jumped off
the rear of a wagon and ran out in
front of the machine,
The boy was brought to the Centre
County hospital where an exam-
ination disclosed the fact that he had
sustained fractures of the leg and
shoulder and numerous body bruises.
At first it was feared that his skull
may have been fractured, but this is
hardly likely, as his condition yester-
day was very satisfactory.
The driver of the car has been ex-
onerated from all blame for the acci-
dent.

The Deerslayers Now on War-path.
Up to Wednesday evening 6,100
resident hunters’ licenses and 85 non-
resident were issued at the county
treasurer's office in the court
house, which was over three hun-
dred in excess of last year, and that
accounts for the fact that about one
out of three men seen on the streets
on Wednesday had a hunter’s license
sewed on the back of his coat.
As this article is being written,
9:15 o'clock Thursday morning, it is
quite probable that a number of deer
have been slaughtered, as thousands
of hunters are in every woodland sec-
tion of the county. Automobile after
automobile loaded with hunters and
camp equipage passed through Belle-
fonte on Wednesday, the most unique
of all of them being a camp on wheels
bearing the legend, “Dutchhill Hunt-
ing Club.” Just where it was from
is not known, but it was headed
toward the Seven mountains. When
the Watchman went to press yester-
day no complete reports had been re-
ceived from the numerous camps, but
by next week a complete list of the
deer killed can be given.
The first deer brought to Bellefonte
yesterday morning was an eight-
pronged buck, shot by I. R. Baum-
gardner, and landed here before 10
o'clock. Mr. Baumgardner is an em-
ploye of the West Penn Power com-
pany and went up to Julian to watch
the company’s right-of-way and see
that hunters did not shoot off the
insulators on the high voltage line.
He took his gun along and had been
there only a short time when the
buck came walking down the moun-
tain and stopped only a short dis-
tance away and he dropped him with
the first shot.
Harry Confer took his gun with
him when he went to work at White-
rock yesterday morning and when a
buck ran down off the mountains near
the quarries he knocked him over.
The Lancaster club in the Seven
mountains had two yesterday morn-
ing.
Charley Lytle, of Altoona, hunting
alone in the gap near Pine Grove
Mills got one.
A professor at State College shot
a fine buck early yesterday morning
near Shingletown.

This is the picture that Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer took their company to
Rome to make and after having built
a perfect replica of the “Circus Max-
imus” over there had to come home
and do it all over again out in Cali-
fornia. The trouble came through the
Facist extras who were employed in
Italy. When it came to the fight and
mob scenes in the picture they fought
too well. In fact they forgot that
it was to be only play-fighting and
made it so real that the American
producers got scared.
