it is giving employment to a lot of
‘men who were badly in need of work.
Don’t forget the big festival to
‘be held at Milesburg tonight and to-

battalion, returned from its two
weeks camp, at Mt, Gretna, last Sat-
urday evening. The special train
bearing the soldier boys reached
Bellefonte about 5:15 o'clock p. m.,

‘meals on order and will take over

while the beauty of the location of
the farm adds much to the pleasure of
the guests. A note addressed to Mrs.
Clemson, at Pert Matilda, R. D. wiil
Teceive a prompt answer.

BY BAIL JUMPER.
J. P. Johnsonbaugh Skips and Leaves
Barber Jim Bailey to Make Good
$1500 Bail Bond. Other
Court News.
J. P. Johnstonbaugh, of Blanchard,
convicted at the February term of
court, on the charge of arson, for
burning his own automobile to keep
it from being seized by the sheriff
for a common debt, and who last
week was denied a new trial by Judge
Fleming and ordered to report in
court, on Saturday morning, for sen-
tence, failed to show up, and the
court decreed his bail bond as being
forfeited and directed the issuing of
a bench warrant for Johnstonbaugh’s
arrest. His bond was for $1500 ad
James L. Bailey, of Bellefonte, was
surety on the same.
A story was current in Bellefonte,
on Saturday, that as soon as John-
stonbaugh heard that the court had
handed down a decree refusing him
a new trial he made the remark
he “guessed it was all up. That it
was either the penitentiary or the
South, and he believed he’d go South.”
The frame-work of his burned car
was in a certain garage in Bellefonte
and one night during the week the
license tags were stolen from the
same and there is a strong suspicion
that he may have taken them, as they
were the tags he had received from
the Highway Department.
In court, on Saturday morning,
Harold Leathers, 23 years old, en-
tered a plea of guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with breaking and
entering, and larceny. The indict-
ment was drawn by district attorney
John G. Love from the transcript of
a justice of the peace, on information
furnished by William C. Witmer,
whose home Leathers was charged
with having broken into and stolen
a revolver and some cartridges. i
When Leathers stood up for sen-
‘ence he told the court that he did not
break into the Witmer home, 2s he
was working for him on the farm and
lived with the family.
He said he had been there a week
and during all that time the revolver,
loaded, lay on top of the dresser in his
room. On the evening of June 12th
he came to Bellefonte to see the car-
nival and when he left the Witmer
home stuck the revolver in his pocket,
with no intention of stealing it. At
the carnival grounds, however, he ex-
hibited the gun to some boys and was
later arrested by State police.
After hearing the young man’s
story the court ordered the count
“breaking and entering” stricken
from the indictment, and on the lar-
ceny charge sentenced Leathers to
pay the costs of prosecution, a fine
of one dollar and imprisonment in the
western penitentiary for one to two
years.
Seth Bell, of Rush township, plead
guilty to manufacturing and posses-
sion of moonshine liquor and was giv-
en a fine of $100, costs of prosecution
and six months in the county jail,
with the right to apply for a parole
at the expiration of three months.

The Passing of Nighthart’s Barber
Shop.
When the last customer hag been
shaved tomorrow night the Night-
hart barber shop, on the northwest
corner of the Diamond, will cease to
do business and on Monday the room
will be vacated and turned over to the
Central Pennsylvania Gas company.
The latter has taken a lease on the
room, and also the one occupied by
the Maytag agency, through an am-
icable arrangement with Mr. Night-
hart who, for a consideration, sux-
endered his lease in favor of the Gas
company. The latter will entirely re-
model the room and fix it up as a dis-
play room for all kinds of gas equin-
ment and utensils. The entire front
of the room will be one large plate
glass window while the Present en-
trance will be changed to the Alle-
gheny street side.
William Nighthart, who has been in
business with his father for some
years past, has purchased the shop
of George Young, in the Heverly
building, and will take charge of it
next week. As to John L. Nighthart,
he has not yet definitely decided as
to what he will do. It has been forty-
three years since he came to Belle-
fonte from Lewistown and opened a
barber shop in the basement room of
Lyon store building. From there he
moved into the Crider stone building
where he has occupied successively
three different rooms, and where
most of his forty-three years in busi-
ness has been spent. When he cleans
out his shop, next Monday, he will
Probably take a little vacation and
later if he finds a good location, might
open a small two chair shop.

Toadstools Cause Man’s Death.
George Conrad, 70 years old, who
lived on a small farm near Munson,
is dead and his son, John Conrad, has
been quite ill as the result of eating
toadstools for their Sunday dinner in
mistake for mushrooms. The father
and son lived in a small house, near
Munson, where Mr. Conrad farmed
on a small scale while the son work-
ed as a miner. On Saturday even-
ing they gathered a number of sup-
posed mushrooms and cooked them as
a delicacy for their Sunday dinner.
But the mushrooms were evidently
toadstools as both men became vio-
lently ill on Sunday afternoon. The
elder man died on Monday morning
while the son has a chance to recover.
Thompson Clan Have Happy Time in The Fry Clan Honor the Dean of the
Family Gatherings.
One of the oldest families in Col-
lege township is that of the Thomp-
sons, which dates back almost to rev-
olutionary war periods. But like
most of the old-time families its de-
scendants have literally scattered to
the four corners of the earth and
brothers and sisters have not met for
years.
Such was the case with the Willian
Thompson family, of Lemont, who
have not had a family reunion since
they left the old home until week be-
fore last when a regular home-coming
was held at the James Wolverton
home, at Alexandria. Mr. Thompson
passed away some years ago and Mrs.
Thompson has since made her home in
New York city and at Syracuse. Ear-
ly this month she went to the Wolver-
ton home, at Alexandria, and invited
her children to join her there. The
children and their families included
Rev. and Mrs. Jay R. Woodcock and
-two children, Anna and Edith; J.
|
that | Elliott Thompson, of Cambridge,
Ohio, and three children, Mary,
Anne and John Elliott; Mr. and Mrs.
Irvin Thompson, of Pittsfield, Mass.;
with their two childrer, Anne and
Preston, and Wayne B. Thompson,
of Winchester, Mass., with three
children, Mary, William and Betty.
On Saturday, July 14th, a family
picnic was held at the James Thomp-
son cabin, at Spruce Creek, at which
forty-two were present. In addition
to those mentioned above William
Wolverton, of New York city,
nephew of Mrs. William Thompson,
flew from New York especially to at-
tend the gathering. Others there
were Mr. and Mrs. George Boal
Thompson and son, "of Bellefonte;
Charles Thompson and family, of
Lemont; the J. W. Henszey family
and Miss Helen Christ, of State Col-
lege.
On Wednesday evening of last
week Mrs. Henszey entertained all
of the clan at her home at State
College.

Fresh Air Children Committee Now
Canvassing Town.
A meeting of the committee ap-
pointed to secure reservations for the
fresh air children during the two
weeks of their contemplated sojourn
in Bellefonte, beginning August 16th,
held a meeting at the home of the
chairman, Mrs. Robert Mills Beach,
last Friday evening, and discussed
ways and means of interesting the
people of Bellefonte in the welfare
of these children of the tenement dis-
tricts of New York.
The committee is made up of the
pastors and women members of evary
church in Bellefonte and it was deemed
advisable that their work be concen-
trated among the members of their
own denomination. Already the com-
mittee has received a number of offers
to pay for the keep of the children in
other homes, but such offers only in- |
crease the burden on the shoulders
of the committee, because of the lim-
ited number of places where the chil-
dren can be sent.
The committee is therefore dispos-
ed to urge all who can do so to take
the children into their own homes.
This will obviate the necessity of try-
ing to find places for any great num-
ber of children whom some one is will-
ing to pay for but is not so situated
that they can take them into their
home.
By next week the committee hopes
to be able to give a statement as to
how the work is progressing. As the
time is short all those who are will-
ing to entertain children should make |
the fact known at once, as well as the
number they will take.

Mackeyville Residents Getting Elec-
tric Light and Power.
Employees of the West Penn Power
company are engaged this week in
setting meters and making connec-
tions on the extension of the electric
service to residents of Mackeyville
and vicinity. The service line was
completed to that place last week and
up to the present time eighteen or
twenty houses have been wired. All
told thirty or more people have sign-
ed up for the current.
Last Friday the West Penn com-
pany gave a demonstration in the
school house, at Mackeyville, of the
convenience and utility of various
electric appliances.
washers, ironers, irons, toasters,
vacuum cleaners, kelvinator, ete.,
were among the appliances shown,
and sixty or more residents of that
vicinity were enough interested to at-
tend the demonstration. As fast as
the meters are set and connections
are made this week, the current is
turned into the houses.

i Family.
Last Saturday was a momentous
occasion in the history of Ferguson
township. On that day Capt. W. H.
Fry reached the age of four score
years and five and the event was cele-
brated with a family gathering at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fry, at
Fairbrook. During all his life Capt.
Fry has been so intimately connected
with the history of west Ferguson,
as well as the daily life of most of its
residents, that it was only natural
that most every family in that sec-
tion was represented at the gather-
ing.
The Citizens band was on hand ear-
ly and while we have not been ap-
prised of its repertoire of selections
we know that if it followed the sen-
timents in the hearts of all present
it rendered at some time during the
day “Hail to the Chief” because no
other melody would so appropriately
describe what he has been to that
neighborhood most of his life. A male
quartette was also present and sang
several appropriate selections.
Rev. J. Max Kirkpatrick was mas-
ter of ceremonies and Hon. J. Laird
Holmes the principal speaker, who
congratulated the captain on his
splendid longevity, dilated on his
| years of good work in that commun-
ity and wished him many more such
anniversaries. Following Mr. Holmes’
talk there was a period of hand-shak-
ing and congratulations, after which
the afternoon was spent in reheats-
ing by-gone experiences.
At six o’clock dinner was announc-
ed. The long tables had been spread
on the lawn beneath towering pine
trees, and plates were laid for: 150,
‘and all of them taken. Of course the
dinner was a success in every way.
The spread was not only elaborate
but splendidly cooked and served.
There was a mammoth birthday cake,
decorated with the national colors and
85 candles. The cake was cut by Rev.
Kirkpatrick, and it was large enough
to give everybody at the table a gen-
At the conclusion of the
feast all present joined in repeating
the Lord’s prayer after which Rev.
Rishel pronounced the benediction,
Capt. Fry is so well known through-
out Centre county that it is unneces-
sary to dwell at length upon his life
history. Suffice it to say that no man
in the county has given more in
time and enthusiasm to purely pup-
lic movements and enterprises than
has Mr. Fry. During his fifty-four
years service as a veterinarian he
never refused to respond to a call for
help and many a time was on the gv
for twenty-four to thirty-six hours
at a stretch, his only rest being cat
naps taken in a stable while looking
| after the welfare of a sick animal.
| And with it all he found time to
i dish up the news of his home local-
ity for county papers. And in all of
his writings there was never a line
that was not of interest to somebody.
His pencil was pointed with wit but
never sarcasm and there never was a
. time the editor had to blue pencil an
‘item from his copy because it was
deemed unfit to print.
In addition to the family connec-
tions present at Saturday’s gathering
intimate friends of the captain were
there from various sections of Cen-
tre and adjoining counties. And the
Watchman joins with all in the wish
i that he may live for many similar cel-
! ebrations.

Well Known Pine Hall Lady Honor-
ed on 81st Anniversary.
Thirty-three relatives and near
friends of Mrs. Hannah Osman met
at her home, near Pine Hall, on Sun-
day afternoon, to felicitate with her
in the celebration of her eighty-first
birthday. Included among those pres-
ent were Mrs. Osman’s children,
Mrs. Theodore Ritchie and Mrs. C.
M. Fry, of Altoona; Mrs. Henry
Bloom and their families, and Shan-
non Osman. Also her two brothers
‘and two sisters, Hon. John T. and
| Mrs. McCormick, of State College;
‘Dr. and Mrs. S. S. McCormick, of
Hublersburg; Mrs. C. H. Seibert and
Mr. and Mrs. John Bowersox. Dr.
: Wesley Slagel and Miss Berenice
Knocke, were also among the guests.
Of course they all took well laden bas-
kets and had a most enjoyable time.
In addition to eating the many good
things prepared the time passed
quickly in the discussion of old-time
reminiscences, etc.
Mrs. Osman’s parents were Mr.
and Mrs. Shannon McCormick, in
their day among the best known res-
idents of the Pine Hall section. Her
husband was the late Lemuel H. Os-
man, a veteran of the Civil war. Mrs.
Osman is a remarkable woman for
her age. She still enjoys good
health and is one of the best read
women of that locality, keeping . up-
to-date on all the important public
questions of the day.

——On another page of this paper
will be found an advertisement an-
nouncing the annual picnic of the
Lock Haven and Centre county motor
clubs, at Hecla park on Wednesday,
August 15th. Inasmuch as each club
has over a hundred members it goes
without saying that the picnic will
likely be one of the big ones for the
season. As every member has a car |
he will have no difficulty in finding
transportation for himself and fam-
ily. Most of the garage proprietors
in the county give their employees
this one day off to attend the picnic
and the result is a general lull in the
auto business on that day.
