Demon ln Bellefonte, Pa., September 14, 1928, FOUR PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM ROCKVIEW PEN. Three of Them Captured and One Still at Large. A leak at the big impounding dam in McBride’s Gap, on Nittany moun- tain, indirectly resulted in the escape of four prisoners from Rockview penitentiary. When the leak was re- ported to penitentiary officials, on Sunday, a guard and three prisoners were sent into the mountain to make repairs. While the guard and two of the men were hard at work the other inmate, Roy Palmer, 20 years old, simply “evaporated,” as the guard ex- pressed it. At any rate he disappear- ed so suddenly and effectively that a large force of guards failed to un- cover his whereabouts that afternoon or night. Palmer was sent up from Bradford county for four to eight years for burglary. He is a native Pennsylvanian, 5 feet 9 inches in height and weighs 153 pounds. He is of slender build, dark blonde hair and youthful appearance. He has a gold tooth and a heart tatooed on his side. Taking advantage of the absence of many of the guards on the hunt for Palmer Harry Fink, alias Robert Garvin, of Philadelphia county, Nick Carbuck, of Allegheny county, and Lewis Marino, an Italian, of Law- rence county, made their escape about eight o’clock on Monday morning by cutting their way through the wire stockade on the south side of the grounds and getting away in the dense fog which prevailed at that hour. Fink, who is 43 years old, is a Cali- fornian by birth and was sent up from Philadelphia for five to fifteen years for robbery. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He is of stocky build, dark complex- ioned, dark hair and mustache. He wore a light shirt and dark blue trousers. Marino was serving a sentence of five to ten years for entering with in- tent to commit a felony. He is 24 years old and was born in Italy. He is 5 feet 6% inches tall and weighs 142 pounds. He is dark and has bushy chestnut hair. Nick Carbuck was sent up from Al- caught early Monday afternoon, near Centre Hall, and landed in the Centre county jail by four o'clock. He had made his way across the mountain and about noontime passed within sight of the home of Orvis Meyer, who lives near the foot of the moun- tain, close to the Centre Hall reser- voir, which is east of Centre Hall. Meyer saw the man and believing him to be one of the escaped prisoners went to Centre Hall for assistance. John Kanarr and Harry Gross, two members of the Centre Hall ball team, volunteered to help catch the prisoner. Taking their guns the three men proceeded to the mountain near the reservoir. Kanarr and Gross took positions of watch on the road and Meyer went on the drive. He must have had a good idea of Carbuck’s whereabouts as the latter was driven from cover within ten minutes and walked right out onto the road, al- most into the arms of Kanarr and Gross. He at first denied that he was one of the escaped prisoners but the men took him to Centre Hall and notified deputy warden McFarland, who went over and got the man and brought him to the Centre county jail. Fink and Marino had a day and a night of liberty but were caught be- tween ten and eleven o’clock on Tues- day morning, down near Hublersburg. They were discovered crossing the state highway by Kenneth L. McCau- ley, who promptly notified peniten- tiary officials, then kept a watch on the men. Deputy warden W. J. McFar- land, with several guards, made a quick run to Hublersburg and found McCauley and state highway patrol- man W. J. Graham on guard. One cof the men had run into a cornfield and the field was surrounded. McCauley got one of the men and Graham the other, and the deputy warden brought them to the Centre county jail. ——Last Friday night the State Centre Game, Fish and Forestry as- sociation met in Philipsburg and adopted resolutions of protest against the wholesale killing of doe deer pro- posed for the coming hunting season. A copy of the resolution is to be for- warded to the State Game Commis- sion and if it does not result in the modification of the ruling—which is scarcely to be expected—the associa- tion pledges itself to make an indi- vidual campaign to persuade owners of land inhabited by deer to post it against hunters. ——W. Harrison Walker Esq., of “The Ramblers” Visited Bellefonte on Tuesday. ; | “The Ramblers,” a man and his wife, from Los Angeles, Cal., paid Bellefonte a visit, on Tuesday, on a tour which began in 1919 and which they figure will not end until 1932. They were traveling in an Oldsmobile which was entirely covered with pic- ture postcards of places they have visited. All told there were 620 cards posted on the car. According to the man’s story they left Los Angeles, Cal.,, on June 15th, 1919, and in the nine years have cov- ered a total of 414,539 miles. Of this distance 374,792 miles were made by auto, 10,312 miles by train, 17,348 miles on board ships, 7,059 miles on foot, 3,272 miles by motorcycle and 1,685 miles on horseback, in wagons, busses, canoes, etc. They have travel- ed through every State in the Union, every province in Canada, every coun- try in Central and South America the West Indies, Mexico, Alaska, New- foundland and seven countries in Europe. They started with an automobile and five hundred dollars in cash and have worked their way since. They have used up seven cars in the nine years. Their ambition is to cover 600,000 miles before they quit. Welty Family Reunion Held at “The Pines,” Near Williamsport. Many Centre county people mo- tored to “The Pines,” about eignt miles west of Williamsport, on Sun- day, to attend the annual Welty fam- ily reunion. The day was all that | could be desired so far as weather {was concerned, and the gathering i proved one of the most delightful ever held. Members of the clan pres- ent were as follows: Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Welty, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Houser, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Heck- man, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McClellan, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Houser, Mrs. Clair Get- tig and Freda Heckman, all of Bellefonte. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Barlett, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Snyder, Mr. and Mrs. L. Billet, Sarah Barlett, Louise Barlett, Catherine Snyder, Richard Snyder, Lowes Snyder and Bobby Billet, of State College.

Eighty-eight more pupils are en- rolled in the Bellefonte public schools this year than last, and of this in- crease sixty are in the High school. To be exact on Monday morning of this week the enrollment totalled 1,- 148, against 1060 last year. In the High school there are 473 against 413 last year. The Freshmen class in the High school this year numbers 151, which is far the largest ever enroll- ed and is accounted for by the large attendance from out of town. ——On Thursday afternoon of last week Mrs. Thomas Caldwell fell down a flight of nine steps, at her home on the corner of Spring and Lamb streets, striking her head on the con- crete pavement, on Lamb street. She was taken to the Centre County hos- pital, as it was feared she might have sustained a fracture of the skull, but fortunately this did not prove to be the case. She received a bad bruise on her head and suffered considerably from shock. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. OR SALE.—Mahogany library table. EF Inquire of Mrs. G. F.
