CONCLUDING CASES OF
THE FEBRUARY COURT.
Man Injured in Auto Accident Fails
in Damage Suit.
In the two cases of Neal Graffius
vs. Steve Sawkin, and Minnie Graffius
vs. same, verdicts were rendered ‘as
follows: In favor of Neal Graffius for
$72.00; in favor of Minnie Graffius for
$550.00.
J. E. Weaver vs. B. C. Dotterer,
being an action in trespass. This
case was from Nittany valley. The
defendant, driving from the vicinity
of Lamar west past the residence of
the plaintiff, east of Zion, on August
15, 1926, hit three cows belonging to
the plaintiff at between twelve and
one o’clock of said date, injuring one
to such an extent that it had to be
disposed of, and the other two in-
jured. The cows were being driven
from the barn of the plaintiff across
the State highway to the pasture
through a lane, which lane the de-
fendant claims he did not see and the
cows could not be seen until the¥
were driven out in front of the de-
fendant’s automobile out of this lane;
that the lane was not visible to him
nor had he observed any notice or any
warning given and that he hit the
first three cows, hitting one and the
one hitting the other two. Suit was
brought by the plaintiff and the case
was tried on Wednesday and resulted
on Thursday morning in a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $125.00.
J. Fred Slack vs. Paul Bradford and
W. F. Bradford, being an action in
replevin. This case grows out of an
exchange of a team of mules by the
plaintiff to the defendant for a team
of mares. The plaintiff was dissatis-
fied owing to the fact that one of the
;mares was blind, and in an interview
had between plaintiff and defendant,
the plaintiff alleges a promise made
to exchange back but when he took
the mares to the home of the defend-
ant, Paul Bradford, he refused to ac-
cept them and to surrender the team
of mules. The case was tried on
Thursday and resulted in a verdict in
favor of the defendant.
James Starette vs. Harry Spector
and David Schwab, trading as Wil-
liamsport Auto Parts company. This
case grew out of an accident on the
State highway a short distance west
of Central City, in Boggs township,
on the evening of June 13, 1926, when
the plaintiff was struck by an auto-
mobile going east in the same direc-
tion the plaintiff and his wife were
walking. The plaintiff was very ser-
iously injured and was taken to the
hospital. It was discovered that the
automobile that struck the plaintiff
was operated by one Peter Sheiman,
who was operating, as the plaintiff
alleged, an automobile belonging to
the defendant company. The defend-
was not an employee of the defend-
ant company, that he was not using
the automobile in furtherance of the
defendant’s business, and that the au-
tomobile had been secured without the
knowledge of the defendant or either
party. The case went to trial Thurs-
day afternoon and resulted late Fri-
day afternoon in binding instructions
for the defendant.
Charles F. Greevy, of the Lycoming
county bar, of Williamsport, was an
attorney in the Starette case.
Domer S. Ishler vs. James Schreck,
executor of the last will and testa-
ment of W. E. Tate, deceased. Being
an action in assumpsit, settled.
Daniel Paul vs. O. P. McCord, being
an action in assumpsit. Continued—
not reached.
| Court adjourned late on Friday af-
ternoon.
Centre County “Beauty” Girl in Toils
of Law, in Detroit.
Thelma Williams, a native of Port
. Matilda, Centre county, who sprang
into prominence in 1926 when she won
the beauty contest in Pittsburgh and
jbecame “Miss Pittsburgh” in the
beauty contest at the Atlantic City
pageant, where she won very favor-
able mention, was held for four days
under detention by the police of De-
troit, Mich., on the charge of being a
party to alleged fake beauty compe-
titions.
When placed under arrest in an
.apartment she had in that city, last
| Thursday, it was given out that she
, was being detained on request of her
“mother. This was later denied by
{ her mother, who at the time was visit-
ing another daughter at Trafford City.
Since then it has developed, according
, to information from Detroit, that the
‘authorities there are searching for
‘three men who are believed to be
| working in conjunction with Miss
| Williams.
| Another allegation that comes from
| Detroit is that Miss Williams was
| married in 1926 to Jesse W. Gray, of
Trafford City, but whether this is
| correct, or not, has not been ascer-
' tained.
Miss Williams was released on
Monday, the Detroit authorities stat-
ling that she had merely been detained
as a material witness against three
‘men.

Supreme Court Sustains Ruling of
Court in Three Centre
County Cases.
In a long list of decisions handed
down, on Monday, the Supreme court
affirmed the judgment of the lower
court of Centre county in three cases,
in which James C. Furst was the pre-
siding judge, as follows:
Walker, Trustee vs. Shugert. This
is the case in which Ivan Walker, as
Trustee, brought an action to deter-
mine the ownership of the Potter-Hoy
Hardware company building, Judge
Furst deciding that it rightfully be-
longed to the assets of the Centre
County Banking company.
The decision in the case of Walker,
trustee vs. Shugert, is one in which
the creditors of the Centre County
banking company are vitally inter-
ested. It was an amicable suit to
test the title to the three-story brick
building, on High street, Bellefonte,
occupied by the Potter-Hoy Hard-
ware Co., and the Oriole store.
The building originally belonged to
the late James Harris. When he died
his will devised it to his half-brother,
the late Dr. George F. Harris. The
latter died and willed it to his wife,
the late Mary C. Harris who was a
partner in the banking company when
it closed its doors. She voluntarily
turned over all she had to the credi-
tors of the bank.
As it was generally known to have
been the intention and desire of Mr.
James Harris that the building in
question was to become the property
of the two daughters of Dr. George
F., and Mary Curtin Harris and there
was some such inference in the will,
the suit was brought to ascertain at
law whether the property belonged to
the mother or her daughters.
Now that the question is settled
the building will be sold by the trus-
tee and the proceeds distributed to
the creditors of the bank.
Sebring vs. Niles Fire Brick com-
pany, an action to recover on a con-
tract in which Dr. John Sebring, ex-
ecutor of the estate of his father, J.
P. Sebring, secured a judgment in the.
Centre county court.
McCurdy vs. Bellefonte Trust Co.,
Executor, an action to recover on a
note for $3,000 on which Mrs. Louisa
Bush and George T. Bush were co-
endorsers. Judgment in favor of the
First National bank was secured in
the Centre county court.

Farmers’ and Dairymen’s Meeting
Friday Evening, March 23.
A call has been made by repre-
sentatives of the various Dairymen’s
Leagues, in Centre county, for a pub-
lic meeting of farmers and dairymen
to be held in the court house, Belie-
fonte, on Friday evening, March 23rd,
at 7.30 o'clock. Every farmer and
dairyman, as well as persons inter-
ested in the success of the farmer and
dairyman, are urged to attend this
meeting.
At present there are three Dairy-
men’s Leagues in Centre county, one
at Spring Mills, one at Rebersburg
and one in Nittany valley. Their
principal object is co-operative buy-
ing and selling, and the purpose of
the meeting is to formulate plans for
further co-operation and coordination.
The call for the meeting is signed
by S. G. Walker, secretary of the
Spring Mills Dairymen’s League, who
elaborates as follows:
“Farmers, if you are interested in
bettering your farm conditions, in-
creasing your income through organ-
ized markets, and secure for yourself
and family the highest degree of con-
tentment and happiness, be sure and
attend this meeting and hear the ex-
perience of some of the best farmers
and most. successful business men.
Join with them in swapping ideas and
debating the problems that have re-
tarded your progress and blighted
your happiness.
While this meeting has been ar-
ranged for by the Dairymen’s League,
a cordial invitation is extended to
every farmer in the county, whether
a member or not, to attend. A gen-
erous, free-for-all discussion is pro-
vided on the program.
Don’t forget the date or place. Go
to the meeting and take your family
and neighbors.”

J. C. Dawson Elected President of the
Philadelphia Traffic Club.
J. C. Dawson, a Bellefonte man who
has made his mark in the railroad
world, has again been honored by be-
ing elected president of the Traffic
Club of Philadelphia. Mr. Dawson
was born in Bellefonte on March 9th,
1882. He received his education in
the public schools here and following
his graduation took a job as office
boy with the Reading railroad. Lat-
er he was made westbound billing
clerk. Before he was twenty-one
years old he left the Reading and
went with the Lackawanna, filling
various positions with that company
until 1920 when he was appointed
commercial agent, a position he now
occupies.

CHARLES WAGNER'S CAR
FOUND NEAR PORTAGE.
Stolen by Three Young Men After
Wrecking Another Car.
The Chevrolet coupe of Charles
Wagner, stolen on the streets of
Bellefonte on the night of February
29th, was found along the public
highway, near Portage, on Thursday
of last week, just a week after it
had been stolen. The license tags
had been removed from the car and
there was a slight dent in the radia-
tor but aside from that the car was
unchanged. The same day that the
car was found three young men were
arrested for the theft of another car
at Portage, and from them it was as-
certained that they had stolen the
Wagner car.
Two of the young men are residents
of Portage and the other is from
Ohio. According to their story the
youth from Ohio stole a Chevrolet
car in that State and driving east
through Pennsylvania picked up the
two young men of Portage. They
came through to Tyrone and down the
Bald Eagle valley road to near Snow
Shoe Intersection where they had an
accident and wrecked one of the
wheels of .the stolen car. They re-
moved the Ohio license plates and
threw them into Bald Eagle creek
then came on into Bellefonte.
About nine o'clock on the evening
of February 29th they went into
Roan’s store and got a sandwich.
Chief of police Harry Dukeman hap-
pened into the store at'the time and
noticing the three strange young men
decided that they would bear watch-
ing. When they left Roan’s store
they crossed the street and walked up
as far as the Brouse store, where two
of the men looked at the groceries in
the window and the other one walked
to the curb and was apparently look-
ing across the street.
Now it just happened that Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Wagner had motored in-
to town to attend the movies and had
parked their car in frort of Brouse’s
store, just where the three young men
stopped. They remained there only
a few minutes, then walked up to
Spring street, went south on Spring
to Pin: and started out Pine street,
Dukeman trailed them that far but
when they continued out Pine street
he concluded they were college stu-
dents and were out to catch a car
home, so he went home and to bed.
About 10.30 o’clock a telephone call
announced the theft of the Wagner
car.
The young men evidently drove it
until the gas supply gave out then
abandoned it and made their way in-
to Portage and stole another car.
The names of the young men have not
been learned but they will possibly
be brought here in the near future
to answer to the charge of stealing
the Wagner car.

Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Geist Wedded
Fifty Years.
On Wednesday of this week Mr.
and Mrs. Franklin Pierce Geist cel-
ebrated their golden wedding anni-
versary at their comfortable home in
Warriorsmark. About sixty guests
were present, which included their ten
children. A big chicken dinner was
naturally a feature of the gathering,
while both Mr. and Mrs. Geist re-
ceived many appropriate remem-
| brances of the occasion.
It was on March 14th, 1878, that
Mr. Geist and Miss Susan Ada Kinch
were married at the Kinch home, at
Franklinville, by Rev. R. H. Smith,
pastor of the Lutheran church. They
started their married life on the
farm, living for some years at Penn-
sylvania Furnace, then had charge of
the Porter farm, at Graysville. Nine
years ago they retired from the farm’
and moved into a comfortable home
in Warriorsmark.
Mr. and Mrs. Geist were the var-
ents of eleven children, ten of whom
survive, as follows: Mrs. O. P. Miller,
of Eldorado; Mrs. E. D. Isenberg, of
Pennsylvania Furnace; Frank, Chest-
er and Wilson Geist, of Warriors-
mark; Mrs. G, V. Hunter, of Pitts-
burgh; Mrs. E. J. Watson, of Philips-
burg; Angeline, Zella and Loretta, of
Altoona. One son, John Geist, died
at the age of 35 years. They also
have twenty grand-children and one
great grandson.
Included among the guests were
five who attended the wedding fifty
years ago, namely: Mrs. G. P. Irwin,
Mrs. William Parshey, Mrs. James
Irwin, Miss Ella Kinch and D. C.
Kinch.
—D. Wagner Geiss is in the pecu-
liar position of being an officer with-
out an office. ‘Last fall he was ap-
pointed assessor of the West ward of
Bellefonte to succeed Miss Sarah
Love, who was appointed tax collector
following the resignation of Herbert
Auman. But the matter was allowed
to hang fire until after the new board
of County Commissioners took office
in January. Mr. Geiss several times
went for the books but for some rea-
son or other they were not turned
over to him. Last week the Watch-
man stated, on the authority of one
of the commissioners, that the books
either had bean or were ready to turn
over to Mr. Geiss. But when he went
after them he was again told by the
commissioner’s clerk that he had not
been instructed to give him the books,
and so the matter stands. Mr. Geiss
is assessor in name only and the ward
is without such officer legally
equipped to. serve.

the farm this spring, last week pur-
chased the J. R. Hogentogler home,
on Willowbank street, for $6,250, and
will move there just as soon as the
Hogentoglers move to Clearfield. Mr.
Bickle had arranged to move into the
one side of J. C. Jodon’s new house,
on east High street, but when he got
a chance to buy a home of his own he
did so.

A Considerate Thief.
Last Friday night someone took
the Ford truck that Caldwells use in
their plumbing business. It disap-
peared from the front of their place
of business about 9 o’clock that even-
ing.
The next morning it was found
parked st the side of the road on the
outskirts of State College.
It was a cold night and the pilferer
evidently thought to save its owner
the expense of buying a new radia-
tor for he drained the car before
“beating it” away fiom it.
As it happened, however, his con-
sideration was misguided for the Ford
was full of alcohol, so that was lost.

Blue Ball Man Abducted in Own Car
and Robbed.
Motoring from Philipsburg to his
home at Blue Ball, Clearfield county,
cn Saturday night, Nile E. Shimel
saw three men walking along the road
and as he attempted to pass them he
felt a hard thump on his car and nat-
urally concluded he had hit one of
the men. He stopped the car and
went back, and was shocked to find
a negro lying in the road and the
other two men bending over him.
Naturally Mr. Shimel offered to
take the injured man to the hospital
and the three men carried him to the
car and put him in the rear. As they
did so one of the strangers said he
would drive the car and as he jumped
into the driver's seat the “injured”
man suddenly came to and with the
assistance of the other man over-
powered Shimel and forced him down
on the floor of the tonneau of the
car, covering him with a robe. They
then sat upon him and kept him theie
until he lost consciousness.
The next thing Shimel realized was
when he came to and found himself
sitting in his car, and the sun shining
through the curtains. He drove to the
nearest town and upon inquiry found
it was Hancock, Md.
The men had robbed Shimel of $50
and his pocket knife, but overlooked
a five dollar bill in his vest pocket.
After telephoning his family as to
his whereabouts Shimel started home,
reaching Blue Ball at four o’clock on
Sunday afternoon.
