HUNDREDS OF BUCKS
KILLED IN COUNTY
Hunters Having Best Sport Ever Ex-
perienced in This Section.
True to early predictions the 1927
deer killing season promises to be a
record breaker in Centre county.
Thousands of hunters have been on
the trail every day since the opening
of the season and so occupied are they
with the blood-lust for killing their
deer that it has been impossible to get
anything like a comprehensive story
of the kill or the number of deer
slain.
Game protector Thomas G. Mosier
estimates that more than five hundred
deer were killed in the Centre county
mountains the first two days of the
season, and ten or a dozen bear. The
record kill so far heard of was made
by the Palmyra hunting club, of Leb-
anon county, camping in the Seven
mountains. They killed their limit
of six deer in five hours the first day
of the season.
But hunting clubs were not the only
lucky ones. An unknown hunter mo-
tored in from Ohio, last Wednesday,
spent the night at Potters Mills, went
out into the mountain Thursday morn-
ing, bagged a buck and by eight
o’clock was ready to start home with
it.
On the opening day Henry Malone,
a Bellefonte High school student, went
up onto Bald Eagle mountain and
killed a buck which weighed 125
pounds,
Mr. and Mrs. C. Edward Cowdrick
and Edward Corrigan, of Niagara
Falls, motored to Clearfield for the
opening day, the men joining the
Cowdricks of that place for the hunt
and Mrs. Cowdrick coming to Pleas-
ant Gap to visit friends. Saturday
evening Mr. Cowdrick and Mr. Cor-
rigan came to the Gap with a big
buck strapped on their auto, the ani-
mal having been killed by Mr. Cor-
rigan. They remained over Sunday
and left for the Falls on Monday
morning.
Edward Haupt, of Bellefonte, killed
a four-pointer over in Decker valley
the first day of the season, making
the third successive year that he has
brought down his buck.
William Cross was a member of
the Bishop hunting party in the Sev-
en mountains, above Milroy, which
bagged three deer up to Saturday
noon, a four pointer, three and two
prong.
Samuel Wertz, a 16-year-old Ty-
rone boy, killed a 350-pound bear and
a ten-pronged buck in the foothills of
the Allegheny mountains, on the
opening day.
A fifteen pronged buck was killed
by A. Harrington, of Altoona, near
Julian, on the first day of the sea-
son. It dressed 187 pounds. :
The Decker hunting club, in Decker
valley, got their limit last week.
John L. Nighthart, of Bellefonte,
and Hugh Daley, of Philadelphia, are
members of a party of day hunters
who have headquarters at Earl
Smith’s store, at Potters Mills. Up
to Saturday morning they had two
deer. Two other hunting parties are
located at Potters Mills, one of which
has four deer and the other three.
The Stover hunting party, of Re-
bersburg, have three deer hunting on
Brush mountain.
The Bradford hunting club, on the
Seven mountains had four at last re-
ports.
Out on the Allegheny mountains in
the neighborhood of one hundred deer
have been killed by hunters from
Philipsburg and Rush township.
Shortly after 8 o’clock, on Wed-
nesday morning, a hunting party from
Johnstown passed through Bellefonte
°n route home with their limit of six
deer shot in the Seven mountains just
above Potters Mills.
Two parties of Pittsburgh hunters
passed through Bellefonte the same
morning on their way from Clinton
county. One of the parties had three
deer and the other two, but one of the
latter was a twelve-point buck which
dressed 228 pounds.
Joe Yarnell and his party of day
hunters have two bucks to their cred-
it, hunting on Nittany mountain, but
the McMullen-Yarnell party, in Rag
valley, hadn’t made a kill up to Wed-
nesday morning.
W. R, Kissell, of Bellefonte, mo-
tored up Buffalo Run valley, last Fri-
day morning, for a ‘hunt in the Bar-
rens. He parked his car and had
not walked a third of a mile till he
spied a five-point buck and dropped
it the first shot.
80 KILLED IN PINE GROVE SECTION
Up in the western end of the coun-
ty eighty bucks were killed by hunt-
ers on Tussey mountain, between
Graysville and Shingletown gap, ac-
cording to the Watchman’s Pine
Grove Mills correspondent. Some of
the lucky ones are given as follows:
The Neidigh hunting party, five on
Monday evening.
The Roosevelt camp, four on Satur-
day evening.
The Pine Grove gun club, two four-
pointers.
The Gearhart day hunters, four.
Carey Shoemaker, a five-pointer.
The Roaring Run club broke camp
on Saturday with five deer to their
credit, three of the lucky shots being
G. R. Dunlap, H. B. Stover and El-
mer Long. :
The Fleetfoots returned home on
Monday with six.
Among the fortunate day hunters
were William Siegel, a four-point
buck, a 200-pound bear and a hedge-
hog. H. C. Fluke came up from Read-
ing on Wednesday evening of last
week, spent the night at Pine Grove
Mills, went out on Thursday morning
and shot his buck before 8 o'clock,
leaving for home before noontime.
G. W. Louck bagged a 7-pronged
buck on the opening day which
weighed 152 pounds. Harold Glenn
and son, Guy, each got a nice buck.
Melvin Ellenberger shot a 10-pointer
which dressed 200 pounds. Charlie
Stuck got a 3-pointer and James
Kline one with four prongs. Andy
Laird shot a 9-pointer and M. C.
Wieland one with four points.
The Rossman hunting club had
three at last reports. Henry Mec-
Cracken shot a 3-pointer. Samuel A.
Homan, Robert Bloom, Harry Gear-
hart and M. C. Heffner each got a
buck and the Tate brothers brought
home two, a 8 and 4-pointer.
THE BIG BEAR
The hunting party of which post-
master John L. Knisely is a member,
composed of hunters from Bellefonte
and Milesburg, returned from the Big
Bear region, on the Allegheny moun-
tains, on Wednesday afternoon with
four deer and the biggest bear ever
brought to Bellefonte, At Beezer’s
butcher shop it weighed exactly 313
pounds. The bear was shot by Charles
Mong, of Milesburg.
Up to Wednesday evening twenty-
six deer had been illegally killed in
the county and $1,800 in fines have
been collected for killing eighteen of
the deer. The other eight were found
in the woods and the hunters who
made the wrong shots have not yet
been discovered.
Owing to the unusual demand for
holiday advertising this week it is im-
possible to give a complete list of the
killers of deer, as it would fill almost
a page in the Watchman.
Car Wrecked, Moonshine Spilled and
Men Arrested.
On Saturday Constable Robert
Woomer, of Rush township, brought
to Bellefonte and turned over to the
sheriff a quantity of liquor seized in
a raid in his baliwick several days
previous. Returning home he decided
to go by way of Snow Shoe. Near
the top of the mountain he saw a
Ford car strike the abutment of a
bridge and turn completely over.
Naturally he stopped to render as-
sistance and helped three men out of
the wrecked car, who proved to be
Martin Howard, Charles J. McCoy
and Edward Baney, the latter the
owner of the car. All of them es-
caped serious injury, but were
promptly placed under arrest when
the constable found a sack full of
bottles of moonshine in the car, quite
a number of bottles being broken and
the liquor spilled.
The constable took the men to Snow
Shoe where they were given a hear-
ing before ’Squire Haines, who held
Baney in $500 bail for possessing and
transporting liquor and imposed a
fine on Howard and McCoy for dis-
orderly conduct. The State patrol, of
Bellefonte, were notified and they
went to Snow Shoe and brought the
three men to the Centre county jail.
On the way over the mountain they
Three Hunters Meet Death by Own
- Carelessness.
Harry Ellenberger, 17-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Ellenberger,
of Marengo, was instantly killed on
the opening day of the hunting season
by the accidental discharge of his own
gun. With his father and two broth-
ers, Melvin and Raymond, he had been
out hunting in the Barrens and Mel-
vin was successful in bringing down
a fine buck. The four men were car-
rying the deer home and in crossing
an orchard stopped under an apple
tree to rest.
There were some apples on the
tree and taking his gun by the muz-
zle Harry undertook to knock down
some of the apples, but the trigger
on his gun caught on a limb and the
weapon was discharged the bullet en-
tering his left breast, killing him in-
stantly. The father and two broth-
ers carried the lifeless body home and
summoned a physician, but the latter
said that death had probably been in-
stantaneous.
Funeral services for the young man
were held in the Ross M. E. church
on Saturday afternoon, by Rev W. S.
Rose, burial being made in the Ross
cemetery. :
A PITTSBURGH HUNTER KILLED.
Charles A. Snyder, 32 years old, of
Mount Oliver, Pittsburgh, was killed
near Pine Grove Mills on Friday
morning. He was a member of a hunt-
ing party staying at Pine Grove Mills
and going into the mountains during
the day. On Friday morning the party
left by automobile and went to the
foot of the mountain where they
parked the car. Snyder had both
hands on the muzzle of his gun, the
stock of which was resting on the
running board of the car. He leaned
on the gun in getting out of the car,
the stock slipped from the running
board, the hammer catching and dis-
charging the shell.
The bullet passed through Snyder’s
two hands, entered the right eye and
passed through his head. Undertaker

the remains and prepared them for
shipment to his home in Pititsburgh.
Mr. Snyder and his brother had been
hunting together for fifteen years.

Brief Meeting of Borough Council;
' Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council,
on Monday evening, but there was so
little business to transact that they
were in session only half an hour.
No verbal requests were made, nor
written communications presented.
The Street committee reported the
improvement on West High street
completed and needed repairs made
on various other streets.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $6.00 on the 1924 water
duplicate, $37.50 on the 1925 and $300
on the 1926. The committee also re-
ported that the 1927 duplicate has
been made out and ready to turn over
to the collector as soon as he cleans
up the 1924 and 25. The duplicate
amounts to $12,470.95, an increase
over that of 1926 of $241.25.
Mr. Cunningham stated that inas-
much as the borough had so far failed
to receive permission from the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company to go un-
der its tracks in laying the water
pipe on Lamb street west to Thomas
street the committee had decided to
abandon the work until next spring.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the receipt of a check for $25
from David Chambers and one for a
similar amount from the J. H. France
Refractories company in recognition
of the services of the Logan Fire eom-
pany at the fire in Clarence several
weeks ago. One-third of the total
amount was ordered paid to the fire
company and the balance turned into
the treasury.
The Finance committee reported
that the treasurer has a balance of
$11,000 in the general fund from
which he contemplates paying two
notes of $3,000 each.
Mr. Brouse called the attention of
council to the danger attached to auto-
mobiles making U-turns around the
traffic signal at the intersection of
High and Spring streets, where sev-
eral rather serious accidents have oc-
curred recently. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee.
Bills were approved to the amount
of $3,281.42, after which council ad-
journea.

priately decorated with colors that
were used by The Ford Motor Co., in
their advertising of pictures of the
new car. Ferns, palms and flowers
added to the decorations. Mr. Ira
Karns, Ford agent from Hollidays-
burg, who had been lecturing for
three days at Altoona, explained,
along with Mr. C. F. McDonald of the
Ford Motor Co., and Collins Shoemak-
er of the the many
Beatty Motor Co.,
features of the Model A.
After turning out 15,000,000 Model
T Cars Mr. Ford has given to the
public an advanced expression in
modern economical transportation.
Mr. and: Mrs. Charles R. Beatty,
C. F. McDonald and Collins Shoemak-
€r were passengers in the new car
when it was driven from Altoona to
Bellefonte early Monday morning.
After leaving Mrs. Beatty at her
residence, George Carpeneto was
aroused from his slumbers at 3 a. m.
to make the fourth party on a road
test over Centre Hall mountain.
With adverse conditions, the road
being covered with ice, a fine rain
freezing to the windshield, the rear
wheels losing traction even though
equipped with chains, the new
Ford Model A went over this side
at thirty-five miles an hour, and from
a standing start at the foot of the
mountain in Centre Hall came up the
mountain from twenty-two to thirty-
six miles per hour and over the top
at twenty-eight miles an hour. Both
sides all the way in high, with Mr.
Beatty at the wheel.
On the day it was shown in Belle-
fonte orders were taken for more
than fifty of the new cars. 48-1t

A telephone message brought Rev.

church, to the court house, and the
