The | holiday business was a little over two hundred dellars short of last year’s business ‘notwithstanding the fact that cancellations were oyer twelve thousand more than during December, 1927.

Up to the present time police offi- cials have been unable to find any trace of the two masked bandits who , perpetrated a bold hold up and rob- bery of Robert Roan, the well known ltaxi driver of Bellefonte, at 6.30 i o'clock on. Christmas morning. Mr. Roan had responded to an early morning call and taken a pas- _senger to a home on north Spring street, . near Lamb. He then started up Lamb street toward Allegheny and saw two men walking down the mid- ‘dle of the street. At the alley in the rear of the Episcopal church property they separated and signalled for him to stop. Supposing the men to be | prospective passengers he stopped his (car. The one on the left opened the door at the driver’s seat and without any preliminaries hit Robert on the left forehead with an implement of some kind, at the same time demand- ing his money. Mr. Roan had a five dollar bill in his coat pocket and he handed it over. ® In the meantime the man on the right of the car had opened the door, reached in and taken hold of Roan with the evident intention of pulling him from the car. In the scuffle Mr. Roan’s foot slipped from the clutch and it flew back in gear. | The car started with a jerk, throwing one of the men off and the other jumped to save himself. Both men were masked but it is not known whether they were armed. Although ‘he sustained a bad cut on the head Mr. Roan drove home, attended to his furnace, plastered up the cut and it was probably an hour later when he notified police officials of the holdup, which was just long enough to give the bandits time to escape. Is the “Tub Mill” a “Snail Mill” ot i What is It? Officals at the State museum, in . Harrisburg, are having a perplexin, time identifying an old mill dug out of John McCoy’s dam some months ago, and their last analysis is that it is a “Snail Mill.” At first it was believed to be a “Tub Mill” but various historians and stu- dents rose to protest this nomencla- ture and for a time the antiquity was without a name. Henry K. Deisher, assistant curator in charge of histori- cal and archaeological divisions of the museum, has located descendants of pioneers who made various kinds of primitive power plants and the center of controversy now has its proper name, Deisher believes. | The mill operates by having water rush down a trough and up a circular incline. At the top of the incline the water pours back into the trough. At the point where it reaches the top of the incline is a water wheel with pad- dles and the force of the water turns the wooden wheel. Unfortunately the mill is not yet complete, for diligent search has fail- ed to unearth the wheel, which sat on a round knob of apple wood on top of the wooden axis of the “snail.” Deish- er still has hopes of finding a wheel to complete the mill. He has visited several sites of old “snail mills” with- out success, however. All the avail- * able parts of the mill have been fixed in their original positions and it is exhibition in the museum. The old mill was found last sum- mer when a dam at the McCoy Iron Works, on Spring creek, near Belle- erected in 1788, according to Frederic . A. Godcharles, State librarian. eee leer eee Prof. and Mrs. C. L. Gramley Had Golden Wedding on Christmas. On Christmas day, 1878, C. L. Gramley, a young school teacher of Miles township, led to the marital al- “tar the young lady of his choice, Miss ‘Joanna Weaver, of Wolf’s Store. They located in Rebersburg and established a home which has endured for half a century and though both have matur- ed with the passing years they are still young at heart and on Christmas day last week celebrated their golden wedding by entertaining at their home seventy-five guests. In the years that have passed Mr. Gramley has had attached to his name “professor” and “Honorable” but to his friends at home and abroad he is the same congenial gentleman he was before he had tasted any of the honors that came to him as the result of his steadfast principles and upright life. Fifty years of his useful life have been spent in educational work, the most of it in teaching, but thirteen years as county superintendent of public schools. He also served one term as a member of the Legislature from Centre county. In their double celebration last week, Mr. and Mrs. Gramley had the assistance of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. M. C.
