will play Santa to the deserving poor,
-of Bellefonte, to the tune of $500.
—Owing. e that only three
AS hE trial at next
week’s term of court the entire list
‘has been continued and no court will
LE held.
—The Bellefonte High school bas-
< etball team lost the first game of
e season to Lewistown by the score
of ‘43 to 11. Not a very auspicious
.opening. : !
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. Ripka, a young
“man living near Spring Mills, was ar-
rested on the charge of stealing the
«car. He confessed and will go before
the court this week for sentence.
—At a meeting of County Com-
missioners-elect John M. Miles, New-
‘ton I. Wilson and John S. Spearly,
last Saturday, Fred J. Healy was
elected chief clerk; Rachel Lambert,
second clerk; William Yarnell, of
College township, janitor, and Mr.
Moyer, of Bellefonte, fireman. The
salary of the chief clerk was fixed at
$1,500 a year, .a reduction of $300
from what has been paid, and the as-
stant clerk $80 a month, a reduction
of $20 a month.
-A special meeting of Brooks-Doll
posh of the American Legion was held
in the hall of the public building, on
Howard street, on Monday evening,
the reco being the installation of
the recently elected officers and the
initiation) of five new members. The
installing | officer was Robert Owens,
of Tyrone, who was assisted by Jo-
.seph Dixon\and Mrs. Franciscus, also
.of that .plac§. Following the installa-
‘tion and de_¥2e work a banquet was
served at the Legion home.
~~ Chiistmas turkeys are selling in
‘Bellefonte at 80 cents the pound,
dressed, and are not very plentiful,
-at that. 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. The time was
when every farmer, and every man
‘Who owned an acre of ground had his
own flock and roast turkey those days
‘was no prize meal. The birds those
«days brought anywhere from 8 to
12 cents a pound, live weight, and
often were a drug on the market, at
that.
—Last Thursday evening, as Miss
Stella Shuey was going home from
work at the match factory she was
struck and knocked down by an auto-
mobile driven by Mr. Rachau, of the
American Express company, just as
she was in the act of stepping up on
ithe steps leading from the street to
:a house in Bush’s addition. She was
considerably bruised and suffered
from shock but refused Mr. Rachau’s
offer to take her to the hospital or
‘a. doctor. Alone she made her way
to the home ‘of her uncle and aunt,
Mr. and Mrrs. 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. Harold Fisher and Mr.
Fisher's mother, Mrs. Dora Fisher,
went to Altoona to do some Christ-
mas shopping. The elder Mrs. Fisher
had $265 tied in the corner .of her
handkerchief, They visited a number
of stores during the afternoon and
then went to the Penn Alto for din-
ner. Shortly thereafter Mrs. Fisher
discovered that her money was miss-
ing. and the stores having closed they
visited the police station and told
their tale of loss. An officer was
detailed to join in a search for the
money and after questioning them ad-
vised starting at the hotel. They did
so and the clerk, P. J, Mullen, hand-
ed over the lost handkerchief with the
$265 intact. He was rewarded with
a “thank you—accept $20?”—which
a did.

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.

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%

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. %

Rush Township Resident Found Dead.
Taco Martious, 66 years old, was
found dead in Newtown, Rush town-

that Martious had drunk considerable
on Sunday and Sunday night and Dr.
W. R. 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 man was a

--Now that all hope of keeping the
district State highway offices in Belle-
fonte has been dissipated the nineteen
employees are wondering if they will
all be retained in their jobs when the
offices are moved to Clearfield on or
about January first. 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. Harry Keller.

was a fat, four pronged gentleman deer
that he brought down out in ‘the Bar-

the head of this one mounted, even

The condition of the hay market is‘ so
low that he can offer only ten dollars
for good timothy and that seems to be
very unfair to the farmer who has grown
it, cured and mowed and then baled at a
cost of two or more dollars. It is low.
Too low to carry any profit, but Mr. Mey-
er is not responsible for the market. The
law of supply and demand regulates that
and no one should expect him to pay
‘more than will let him out with a reason-
-able” profit: when selling. ‘
