NIGHT RIDERS PREYING
: ON FERGUSON TOWNSHIP.
Posses Organized Everywhere to Cap-
ture the Plunderers. $4000 in Loot
is Said to be a Low Estimate of the
Plunder Thus Far Carried Off.
Residents. of Ferguson, College and
Harris townships are in a high state
of excitement, indignation and resent-
ment over the way they are being
plundered by. what appears to be a
perfectly organized band of night
riders.
They say that chickens, hogs and
other farm products to the value of
at least $4000 have already been car-
ried off and all their efforts to ap-
prehend the marauders have thus far
been unsuccessful.
Farmers are paying night watch-
men to follow suspicious cars and are,
themselves, sitting up nights with
shot guns on their laps, but the chick-
ens and hogs seem to go notwith-
standing their vigilance.
The entire upper end of Pennsval-
ley, from east of Boalsburg to the
Huntingdon county line, seems to be
the favorite plucking ground of the
plunderers and few escape.
That they must be experts is at-
tested by the fact that they SWoop
down on a hen house or piggery and
hundreds of chickens and a hog or so
are gone without even a squawk or a
squeal to apprise their owners of
their departure. Dogs that would eat
anybody else up quail at the sight of
the thieves and don’t get over their
fright for days afterward. The be-
lief is that the chickens are gassed on
the roosts and scooped into bags,
hogs are doped into a state of coma
and dogs are thrown meat covered
with something that renders them
barkless and cowardly.
The thievery has been going on for
months and has gotten on such a
wholesale basis that the whole coun-
try is aroused, under arms and hope-
lessly baffled.
MANY ARE THE VICTIMS,
At Lloyd Ripka’s, near Boalsburg,
the thieves had doped seven hogs but
were discovered before they could get
them loaded up. They gave the hogs
an overdose, however, as most of
them never woke up from the trance
they were in.
At the Sam Hess farm, on the
Branch, they took all the chickens
and did it while Sam and another man
whom he had engaged to help him
keep guard were making a shift in
the watch.
Dent Peterson’s hen coop at Rock
Springs was completely denuded of
its tenants.
Sam Colpetzer, of Fairbrook, lost
100 fine fowls.
John Quinn and Oscar Struble, near
Pine Grove, were completely cleaned
up.’ ;
‘Dice Thomas, on the Branch, lost
all his chickens.
Walter Dreiblebis, at White Hall,
suffered the loss of all his chickens
and a pig.
. They visited the Fred Fry place
and; gave his police dog something so
that it didn’t come to until the next
day and then was afraid of its own
shadow,
THE GUARDS CAN'T CATCH THEM.
It is a strange condition of affairs.
Farmers have been watching for
weeks, but the thieves always seem
to slip through their cordons. It is
said that some men up there haven't
actually been in bed for two weeks
at a stretch so keen are they to ap-
prehend the thieves, but it is all to
no avail.
Last Saturday night Ralph Judy is
said to have had them cornered in his
chicken coop, but as he couldn’t han-
dle them all by himself he let them
go.
On Thursday night of last week a
large posse of watchers chased them
into a lane that had no exit and “by
heck, they escaped again.” That night
two of the watchers came clear to
Bellefonte for official help, but they
couldn’t find anybody to go up and
make the arrests.
According to reports the thieves
travel in trucks and when they are
on business run entirely without
lights.

Rev Arnold Officiated at Double Wed-
ding, Wednesday Morning.
The Lutheran parsonage, Belle-
fonte, was the scene of a double wed-
ding, on Wednesday morning, when
the pastor, Rev. Clarence E. Arnold,
was called upon to perform the cere-
mony for George L. Harner, of Som-
erset, and Miss Louise Rotter, of
Woodville; and Harry E. Swank, of
Johnstown, and Miss Mary E. Jones,
of Philipsburg. The young people
motored to Bellefonte and after se-
curing the necessary marriage licens-
es at the court house proceeded to the
Lutheran parsonage for the double
ceremony.

Trained Agriculturists in Demand.
Trained agriculturists are as much
in demand today as men of efficiency
in all the trades or departments of
engineering. This has been exempli-
fied by the fact that all but ten of a
class of ninety-six which graduated
in the course in agriculture at State
College three weeks ago have been
placed in good positions, while every
one of the twenty-two graduates in
dairy husbandry had a job awaiting
him.
Farming today is not conducted in
the haphazard methods of twenty-
five years ago. And it is because of
this fact that specialists in agricul-
ture are just as much in demand as
are men in every line of endeavor.
No Paper Next Week.
The Watchman will continue to ad-
here to the old-time custom of giving
all employees a mid-summer holiday
during Fourth of July week, conse-
quently no paper will be issued from
this office next week. When you fail
to get your Watchman next Friday,
as usual, just remember that there
isn’t any, and don’t blame it on the
postman.
Centre Hall Woman Arrested : for
~ Forgery.
Miss Bertha Klinger, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Klinger, of Cen-
tre Hall, was arrested, last Friday, in
Bellefonte, by chief of police You-
gel, of State College, and chief of po-
lice Harry Dukeman, of Bellefonte, on
the charge of passing a forged check
at the First National bank of State
College. :
According to the evidence intro-
duced at a hearing before ‘Squire
J. S. Miller, of State College, the
young woman appeared at the bank
early last week and stated that she
wanted to start a savings fund. She
presented a check for $300, saying
she would take $200 in cash and start
the fund with $100. The check was
signed with the name of a well known
person in that locality and was aec-
cepted without question. The woman
was given the two hundred in cash
and a pass book filled out with a one
hundred dollar entry.
Of course the fraud was discovered
by the bank and the case placed in
the hands of chief of police Yougel.
He came to Bellefonte and with the
aid of chief Dukeman was able to
learn that a woman answering the
description of the high financier had
at one time worked in a Bellefonte
laundry. Thus they were able to
learn her name and it was then an
easy matter to trace her whereabouts
and effect her arrest.
When arrested the woman was
working as a domestic in a Belle-
fonte home. Yougel searched her
room and recovered about $170 of the
money she had secured at the State
College bank. He also found in her
room another check filled out for
$500, and a bank book of the First
National bank of Bellefonte.
She was taken to the Centre
county jail on Friday night where
she remained until late Tuesday af-
ternoon when she was released under
fifteen hundred dollars bail, her fa-
ther going on the bond.

Wetzler’s Junior Band at Hecla Park
on Sunday.
If the weather is fair, Sunday af-
iternoon, a large crowd will dobytless
assemble at Hecla park to hea: the
sacred concert to be given by Wetz-
ler’s Junior band, of Milesburg. The
hour for the concert will be 2.30
o'clock which will give everybody
ample time to get there.
Wetzler’s Junior band is probably
the most unique musical organization
in the entire State. It is composed of
boys ranging in age from seven tu
sixteen years. On Memorial day,
when the band was in Bellefonte for
the day’s exercises, Mr. Wetzler had
a picture taken in front of the court
house. At that time there were
eighty members. In just two weeks
twenty-three additional members hai
been enrolled with several more ap-
plications pending. The band is now
over one hundred strong and gives
promise of still greater growth.
Of course all the boys in the band
are not residents of Milesburg and
that immediate vicinity. Many of
them are from Bellefonte. And it
really is surprising how they are
mastering the technique of manipu-
lation of the various instruments. Of
course their repertoire is limited to
the simpler pieces of band music but
they are already beginning to clamor
for something new and more difficult.

Whose Baby Is it?
The town is more or less excited
over a mix up in babies that occurred
in a nursery a few days ago and in
consequence four mothers are terribly
distressed and telling it to the un-
happy woman in whose charge the in-
fants were left.
We haven’t heard whether there
was any hair pulling, but it must be
dangerously near that point because
the matron insists that a redhaired
baby is the cherub that really be-
longs to a woman who claims the
one with black hair.
The situation has become so tense
that all concerned want the public to
judge whose baby is whose and they
are going to fight it out in the lecture
room of the Methodist church tonight
at eight o’clock.
The quarrel has lasted several days
and has been so bitter that the moth-
ers haven’t had time to feed the ba-
bies so they are going to charge 35
and fifty cents to get in to see the
rumpus with the hope of raising
enough to pay the fines that S. P. C.
A., will surely impose on them after
it is found out who are the actual
mothers of the infants in dispute.

petitors Harry Davis,
Bucks County Student Won Gold
Medal in Ww. C. T. U. Contest.
From a field of six formidable com-
of Richboro,
Bucks county, emerged victorious in
the finals of the declamatory contest
sponsored by the young peoples’
branch of the Pennsylvania Women’s
Christian Temperance Union in their
annual convention at the Pennsylva-
nia State College this week. Three
Centre countians, Miss Beulah Har-
nish, of Bellefonte High school, Miss
Margaret Borland and Miss Gretchen
Marquardt, both of State College,
failed to place in the honor ranks.
Dr. Ella M. George, of Beaver
Falls, for twenty-two years State
president of the Women’s Christian
Temperance Union, presented Davis
with the gold medal in recognition
of his achievement. The winner is
now eligible to compete for the dia-
mond medal in the oratorical contest
which will be held by the State or-
ganization at Scranton in October.
Miss Clarice Cook, of Rome, the
single representative of Bradford
county, was considered by the judges
to be a close second in the contest.
Miss Myrtle Seeley, of DuBois, su-
pervised the competition while the
judges were Miss Lillian Trezise, of
DuBois, Mrs. Eleanor Burke, of Mt.
Washington, and Harold Caven, of
State College.
More than one hundred delegates,
representing thirty-seven counties, are
attending the convention which began
on Monday and which will continue
until Saturday. All of the visitors
are housed in the college dormitories.
Besides Doctor George other promi-
nent speakers at the convention are,
according to Mrs. W. A. Broyles, of
State College, who is chairman of
the Centre county section and a mem-
ber of the board of directors of the
State organization, Mrs. Lillian Trez-
ise, of DuBois, vice-president of the
State W. C. T. U.; Miss Winola Jew-
ell, of Chicago, general secretary of
the National Young Peoples’ Branch;
Miss Lena Dell Wiggins and F. A.
Dale, general secretary and State
president of the Young People’s
Branch, and D. Lloyd Claycomb, of
Altoona. Willard Kratz, of Chalfont,
is in charge of the instructional
course which aims to train the dele-
gates in citizenship and law observ-
ance. Prof. J. W. Yoder, of Juniata
college, is directing the musical ac-
tivities of the convention.

New Schedule on Lewisburg Branch
Now in Effect.
The last trains on the old schedule
were run on the Lewisburg branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad on Satur-
lay. The train leaving Sunbury at
1.35 and arriving at 4.20 came in on
time, returning to Sunbury the same
evening. :
On Monday morning the train
leaving Sunbuxy at 6.30 and arriving
in Bellefonte at 9.10, left on the re.
turn trip a few minutes after ten
o'clock. In the afternoon the train
reaching Bellefonte at 4.20 left on
the return trip at 5.25 p. m.
Under the new schedule the mail
for: State College coming to Belle-
fonte on the 8.16 p. m. train, and
which heretofore had been sent up to
Lemont on the 6.30 a. m. train is now
held here and sent up at 10 o’clock,
while that coming in on the 1.20 Pp. m.
train does not go out of Bellefonte
until 5.25 for the College.
Of course all the trainmen who had
their layover in Bellefonte were ef-
fected by the change except John
Fisher, baggage master, who has been
transferred to the Tyrone division
with a run on the Bald Eagle Valley
road, and who will continue to make
his home in Bellefonte. His run ine
cludes three round trips a week be-
tween Tyrone and Lock Haven, which
will permit his spending considerable
of his time at his home in Bellefonte.
The one man who will benefit by
the change is Joseph Undercoffer, bag-
gage master. Heretofore it was nec-
essary for him to get to the depot
by 5.30 o'clock while now he doesn’t
have to get around until seven.

Centre Countians Injured in Auto
Accident.
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Dale and two
sons, of Oak Hall, and Mrs. Blanche
Houser Ferguson, of Meadville, but
formerly of Bellefonte, were all more
or less injured in an auto accident,
near Reyoldsville, on Monday after-
noon of this week.
The Dale family were returning
from a visit with relatives at Mead-
ville and were accompanied by Mrs.
Ferguson, who was coming to Belle-
fonte on a visit. The accident was
the result of the steering gear on the
Studebaker sedan, in which they were
riding, becoming locked, with the re-
sult that the car ran into a concrete
bridge abutment. -
Mrs. Dale, who was riding in the
front seat, was thrown through the
windshield, and while she escaped
without sustaining any broken bones,
she suffered numerous cuts and bruis-
es. All in the party were more or
less cut and bruised, though it is
not believed the condition of any of
them is serious.
Mrs. Ferguson continued her trip
to Bellefonte as soon as possible, be-
cause of anxiety over the serious ill-
ness of her nephew, “Sonny” Houser,
at the Houser home on Pine street.

—James Harris, manager of the men's
clothing department of the Knoll and
Kech department store in Reading, has
been in town this week on his usual sum-
mer visit to his brother, burgess Harris
and other relatives and friends in town.
Jim is looking fine and has been getting.
on so well that he’s actually talking about
the time he expects to retire to “Easy
Street” and cock up his heels for the rest
of his life. My, but that’s the kind of
news we like to hear. Friend or foe,
alike, we hope the day will never come
when we can’t get a real thrill out of the
knowledge that success has knocked at
someone's door.
—George Wolf Sr., his two sons George
Jr, and Harry, and Mr. 8. N. Sayford,
made up a quartet of Altoona gentlemen
who motored to Bellefonte last Friday to
spend the day “just lookin’ around.” When
we asked them where the ladies were they
very promptly informed us that it was
a stag party and Mr. Sayford whispered
the further information: “And we've had
a drink already.” As it was early in the
morning when we saw them we had some
concern as to what might happen in con-
sequence of such a start and were about
to open up on our pet temperance lecturs
when he amplified his rather suggestive
remark by saying: “Yes, we've just come
from your wonderful spring and, my, but
that's good water.” The Wolfs, father and
sons, were once important folks in the
business and social life of Bellefonte. They
moved to Altoona many years ago and,
happily, have gotten on splendidly there.
