It is stated on fairly reliable uthority that Judge-elect Fleming contemplates establishing his home in ‘Bellefonte as soon as he can find a :suitable place to live. —Some time ago residents of Hub- ‘lersburg said, “let there be light,” -and now there is light, the West Penn: ‘Power company having about com- pleted making the connections with many residents of that little town. —A number of people flocked to the court house, when court convened .on Monday morning, expecting to see Judge Fleming on the bench, under the impression that the new judge took his seat right away. Mr. Flem- ‘ing will not become Judge, in fact, .until Monday, January 2nd. —A Chrysler car stolen from the garage of J. H. Rishel, at Spring Mills, on the night of November 2nd, “was recovered in Jersey Shore, on ‘Monday, and Daniel A.

In fact, practically all of “them have been shipped in from States farther south. Just why Centre seounty farmers don’t raise turkeys rnow is hard to explain.

Henry Shuey, where she was confined to the house several days. —Last week we published the names of three Centre county girls at the Pennsylvania State College who have been honored by selection fer membership in the new honor so- ciety, “Archousai.” It appears that Centre county might put forth a <taim for having the unusual honor of being the home of the first presi- dent of the society as well. While Miss Jane E. Smith, the president, resides at Beaver, Pa., since she is a daughter of Mrs. Susan Hunter Smith and a granddaughter of the late Captain John A. Hunter, of “Stormstown, so long and intimately -associated with Centre county and es- pecially with State College when it vwas fighting for a place in the edu- cational world, we think we have a partially valid title to her, at least. —On Thursday of last week Mr. and Mrs. J.

MANY PETTY CASES TO BE HEARD IN COURT Grand Jury Began Work Monday Morning. Court Work Started on Tuesday The list of grand jurors summoned to pass upon the various bills of in- dictment for the December term of court reported for duty on Monday. Court convened at ten o'clock and af- ter appointing Miss Mary Miles Blanchard, of Bellefonte, forewoman, Judge James C. Furst delivered the usual instructions and the jury re- tired to begin the consideration of the bills prepared: by district attorney John G. Love. A week ago it did not ‘look as-if there would be much of a session but the district attorney dug up a list of thirty-eight bills which he had in shape for ‘consideration. Following the retirement of the grand jury the list.of constables was called and their reports taken. Quite a number of petitions were submitted to the Court and passed upon. The first case to7eome up was the rule of Wallace White on the judges of election of the three precincts of Spring township to show cause why he was not returned elected supervis- or of said township, the consolidated return of the judges showing the election of C. C. Baumgardner. The triplicate election returns as made by the three judges of the township were submitted to the Court and showed the election of Wallace White, and the Court directed that Wallace White be returned elected supervisor and a certificate be issued to him ac- cordingly, and the certificate hereto- fore issued to C. C. Baumgardner be cancelled. | ’ The next case taken up was the case of the Commonwealth vs. Wal- Counsel for the defendant moved to strike out the return made by the justice of the peace in this case and discharge the defendants on the ground that they had not been given an opportunity for their defense. The Court granted the motion, whereupon the district at- torney submitted a district attorney’s biil for the same offense and against the same defendants befdre the grand jury. On Tuesday forenoon the habeas corpus proceeding of Samuel Sleigh, of Gearhartville, Clearfield county, against W. H. Hindle and Catharine Hindle, his wife, was taken up. This case grows out of the death of the wife of Samuel Sleigh, some years ago, who was a daughter of the re- spondents in the habeas corpus pro- ceeding; and as testified to by the respondents, Mrs. Sleigh, before she died, requested her mother to take her son, Roy Sleigh, now 6 years old, and raise him as her own, and both of the respondents testified that at different times the father of the boy said He would “never disturb him where he was. At the hearing on Tuesday the father testified that he desired to have the boy, as well as his present wife, whom he married in 1926, desired the boy in their househald;: ‘and .that he had parental love for the child. On Tuesday af- ternoon the court ruled that the child should go with the father, and that the father should pay the costs. The next case taken up was the case of Commonwealth vs. E. H. Leitch, indicted for stealing chickens. Prosecutor, William Stoner. The chickens were stelen from the prose- cutor at or near Centre Hall. The defendant waived the finding of the grand jury and pleaded guilty. Sen- tence was deferred until later in the week. Comnionwelath vs. R. E, Ellis, in- dicted for fraudulent conversion and embezzlement. Prosecutor, Russel W. Adamitz. Counsel for the defendant moved the court to quash the indict- ment and after argument the Com- monwealth withdrew the case at this time, with notice that a new bill of indictment. would be submitted to the grand jury, and the cause was con- tinued. Commonwealth vs. Floyd Goodstall, indicted for breaking and escaping the penitentiary. Prosecutor, W. J. McFarland, deputy warden. The de- fendant came into court without coun- sel and the court appointed J. M. Keichline and John Blanchard to de- fend him. Mr. Blanchard, however, withdrew from the case and the cause went to trial. The defendant is one of four prisoners who escaped from the Rockview penitentiary on the evening of the 15th of Sentember last, at about 8:15 o’clock, having cut the wire and got away for a distance of either forty or fifty feet when they were captured by guards who were stationed outside of the stock- age. Verdict of guilty and sentenced to pay the costs of prosecution, a fine of one dollar and not less than three and one-half nor more than seven years in the western penitentiary, to begin at the completion of his sen- tence originally imposed in Bradford county. Commonwealth vs. Hampton Boyd, indicted for breaking and escaping the penitentiary. Prosecutor W. J. McFarland, deputy warden. This man is one of the four who got out of the stockade at Rockview penitentiary on the evening of September last, and was originally sentenced by the court of Philadelphia county. Verdict of guilty and given a dupli- cate of his original sentence. ~—While the Bellefonte Academy football schedule for 1928 has not been ‘completely made up; among the games already secured is one with the prep. team at West Point Military Academy and one with the Navy plebes, of Annapolis, 15th | “The :Watchman” Will Not ‘Be Issued Next Week.

Very Tragic Motor Accident Results in i Death of Young Boy." Instead of ov, and hy in the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. T:.Zubler, of near Spring Mills, there: is! sorrow and anguish, because their bright lit- tle son, James; is‘ lying cold in death as: the result of being run:down by | an automobile, on Tuesday.afternoon, as he was crossing: the road with his little, arms full’ of presents that had been given him by his schoolmates. The Zubler family live on the Alli- son hill, this side of Spring Mills, and the children are hauled to ‘and from school in a two-horse covered “spring wagon. The wagon stopped on the right side of the road opposite the Zubler home, which is located on the left side of the road. Following the wagon was an automobile with five school boys in it. When the wagon stopped the .auto_ also stopped. Jim- my crawled out of the right side of the , wagon, and with his presents clutched tightly in his arms, ran around the rear of the wagon, be- tween it and the automobile, just as a motor car driven by Louis Minicel- lo, of Berwick, going east, attempted to pass the other vehicles. = The driver made every possible ef- fort to avert hitting Jimmy. He even turned so quickly to the left that he ran into the automobile standing in the road and pushed it through the fence, but even that did not save the boy from being struck and knocked down, with considerable force. With Mr. Minicello were two other men and they assisted in picking the injured boy up and carrying him into his own home, all of the men being much wrought up over the accident, | ysician was hastily summoned Ih e advised bringing the boy to the Centre County hospital, Which was done, but he passed away within half an hour after reaching that in- stitution. Jimmy was 7 years and 2 montis old and in addition to his parents is survived by four sisters and one brother, Mary, Ruth, Sarah, Lois and John. 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. Rev. D. R. Keener will have charge of the | services and burial ‘will be made at Parners Mills. 5% wy ” Rumsing to Catch Truck Man Falls Dead of Heart Attack. ; Lon Emmings, aged 46, and unmar- ried, met sudden death at the quar: ries of the Oak Hall Lime and Stong company, shortly after 2 o'clock la Saturday afternoon. Emmings came to Centre county from Brookville about two years ago and got employ- ment with the above company. He was a good workman, but a few months ago developed heart trouble and was compelled to lay off. On Saturday, however, he was at the quarries and shortly after 2 o’clock one of the quarry trucks start- ed with a load of crushed stone for State College. Emmings ran up a short hill to catch the truck and ride to his home at Lemont, but just when he reached the truck he slipped and fell, both legs going under the truck, the rear wheel of which passed over them. The driver of the truck stopped and other men who saw the accident ran to the aid of the fallen man, but he was dead when picked up. An inquest was held and the at- tending physician gave it as his opin- ion that the man had dropped dead from a heart attack and being run over by the truck was not even 2a contributory cause, and so the jury found. The remains were buried in the Boalsburg cemetery on Tuesday af- ternoon. % — Ladies’ Holeproof silk hose, $1. o grade, special Friday and Saturday only, at $1.45.—Sim, The Clothier. * Soca Rush Township Resident Found Dead. Taco Martious, 66 years old, was found dead in Newtown, Rush town- ship, at an early hour Monday morn- ing.

Heaton, who in his official ca- pacity as’coroner, conducted the in- vestigation, decided that death was due to alcoholic’ poisoning caused by excessive drinking.

The fact that district engineer N. A. Staples will be transferred from this district to Philadelphia will remove the one man who would have the greatest influence in- having all the men retained. The funeral will be held at| KIWANIANS ACTIVE IN CHRISTMAS GOOD WILL “The wedlly Toncheon of the Ki- wanis' club, at the: Brockerhoff house on Tuesday, was significant of good cheér'in: various ways.. The first thing" reported. was that material pro- gress is ‘being made ‘on tearing out the ‘tile of the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool, a‘work started by = Kiwanians but’ prosecuted with 'much vigor by Bellefonte Academy and: High school students. This voluntary labor will save ‘many dollars in restoring the pool’ to ‘usefulness. A report being: presented to Ki- wanis that a fund in the treasury from the ‘presentation . of ‘the Green and ‘White Revue .is to be:devoted to thé purchase’ of a car for the use of the’ community nurse, the members voted‘to assume ‘the expense of the upkeep of the car during the ensu- ing’ year. - The members also decided to assume the. burden of: completing the fund’ necéssary to defray the sal- ary and ‘expenses: of: the nurse for the year. This will be done by. staging a benefit theatrical performance or a movie show. The committee on under-privileged children, of whom there are fifty-six outside of the territory covered by State College and Philipsburg, re- ported that a box had been mailed to each one, the boxes containing clothing, books, toys, games) candy, etc. ' The Christmas committee reported that everything has been arranged for the community tree. The tree will be furnished by officials of Rock- view penitentiary. It will be erected under the supervision of W. R. Cliffe, of the American Lime and Stone com- pany, and the West Penn Power com- pany will place the lights. Kiwanis will furnish the boxes of candy with which to treat the children. These will probably be distributed this after- noon: when the children will hold a Christmas festival around the tree. Christmas carols will be sung around the tree on Sunday night. One of the diverting features of the luncheon was a little Christmas party given H. S. Moore by a group of Kiwanians who were his guests at a dinner several weeks ago. The private, table at which they were seat- ed was adorned with: holiday decora- tions sand each guest presented Mr. Moore with a Christmas package which, on opening, revealed candy babies, dogs, toys, etc. Next week luncheon will be a real Christmas party for all clubmembers, and. it is whispered that quite a num- ber of appropriate gifts will change hands, Sherift E. R. Taylor Had ‘Busy Four- go Years’ Term. i "One more week and the old county ‘officers—those of them who were not -elected for another term—will va- cate their offices to make place for che new, .and one of them who will leave with few if any regrets is sher- iff BE. R.-Taylor. During his term of four years: he has.been the ‘busiest sheriff .of any who has held office in Centre county for many years. During the four years he has been in office he has enrolled on his docket as prisoners at the county jail the names of about 900 men and women, which is 500 more than were en- rolled during the four-years’ term of heriff Harry Dukeman. Sheriff Tay- lor ’s biggest year was 1925 when 285 prisoners passed in and out of the jail doors. Last year the number was 199, the lowest of any year during his term. The number in 1924 was 232, and this year will probably ex- ceed the latter figure by a little. At the opening of court this week the sheriff had twenty regular boarders. Probably thirty per cent of the men who have been the sheriff's guests during his term of office have been sent there for infractions of the Vol- stead law. In addition to his other prisoners sheriff Taylor has had during his four years sixty or more escaped convicts from the Rockview penitentiary; all of whom he not only harbored for a time but had to convey back to the Western penitentiary at Pittsburgh. The sheriff also had a busy term so far as his other duties are concerned, hence will retire from the office with no regrets but with a feeling of thankfulness for a little respite from his arduous duties. Rumania to Pay Wilfred N. Keller $50,000 Damages. A cable dispatch from ' Bucharest says the Rumanian government will pay Wilfred N. Keller $50,000 indem- nity for injuries sustained at' the hands of rioting students at Oradea Mare last week. Immediately after Keller was assaulted and injured the American Ambassador, William 8S. Culbertson, made a vigorous protest to the Rumanian government and re- ceived a written apology from for- eign minister Titulescu, together with assurance that American citi- zens in the future would receive ev- ery protection possible from rioting students. Wilfred N. Keller is a native of Centre county, having been born and raised at Linden Hall. He served in the World war and later was with the Near East Relief. Of late he has been located at Oradea Mare, Ruman- ia, where he is in the automobile bus- iness. His mother, Mrs.’ Tammie Kel- ler, is now living at Milesburg with Capt.
