FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN CENTRE COUNTY.
Fron agi Watchman Issue of April 11,
The friends of the Nittany and
Sugar Valley railroad will meet at
Tylersville, Clinton county, on Satur-
day, April 12.
John Anderson now gives a fried
oyster with every glass of beer.
It is said that Mr. Bush intends to
have the Bush house painted a drab
color this spring, like his own rest: |
dence. This would be a great im-
provement and a relief from its
ghastly whiteness.
Mr. Andy Brockerhoff arrived
home from Cuba and Florida, on
Wednesday evening. He looks as if
the trip had done him good.
Mr. Ben Shroyer, of whom the giris
say that he is vastly improved and
decidedly fine looking, paid a visit to
his parents here last week.
“Warren” requests us to say that
he would like to see the Episcopal
church crowded next Sunday morning
and evening at the Easter services.
Among the gentlemen who attend-
ed the special meeting of the county
Grange at the Bush house last Fri-
day were W. A. Kerlin and John
Grove Jr., two of Potter township's
best and most solidly Democratic cit-
izens.
Bernard Lauth has bought the en-
tire business of Lauth, Thomas & Co.,
of Howard, and has set out four dif-
ferent jobs of wood chopping and
coaling thus giving employment to
many idle men. He is building a
foundry and machine shops and soon
with his rolling and hoop mills.
Mr. George Jack, of the State Col-
lege, noticed 24 trout fishermen, on
Monday, ‘between Humes’ Mill and
Bellefonte. At this rate the trout
season on Logan's branch will be a
short one.
Mrs. Love is getting up another
! home on Wednesday afternoon,
concert to be given in Humes’ hall on .
the evening of 17th inst. |
Capt. John A. Hunter, of Half
Moon, who was so badly injured some |
time ago when a load of posts fell
on him, had so far recovered as to be
able to be in town for the Granger's
meeting on Friday.
Mr. William Lyon exhibited his
Easter beef cattle on our streets,
Wednesday last. They were certain-
ly a fine lot and all who are lucky
enough to get a steak or roast off one
of them will be lucky indeed.
Spring actually seems to have
made her appearance. The weather
is mild and pleasant and folks are
beginning to make garden.
The citizens of Centre school house
district of Walker township are hav-
ing a school war. It appears that
David Deitrick and a Miss Markle
had each gotten up a subscription
school and expected to use the house.
Mr. Deitrick had secured the permis-
sion of the school directors while Miss
Markle took it for granted that she
had it. Accordingly, the two teach-
ers and their flocks of hopefuls met
at the school house and when the
matter of who was to have posses-
sion became a heated argument
James Gramley, a director, was sent
for. He told Miss Markle she would
have to get out and when she told
him he wasn’t man enough to put her
out he grabbed her in his arms and
carried her out of the building. She
is said to be a very spirted girl. Our
townsman, A Baum, can vouch for
that because she is the same girl who
got after him with a buggy whip af-
ter she had made the mistake of sell-
ing him her four legged chicken, at
market last fall, when she thought
it was an ordinary two legger she
was giving him.

——Word from Rev. R. R. Lehman,
who was recently changed from the
Milesburg charge of the Methodist
church to the church at Northumber-
land, is to the effect that he regards
his new station as “a great church
and a very great opportunity.”
——Now if Governor Fisher will
enforce his order to “stop pollution
of the streams’ some of his other de-
linquencies may be forgiven.
——If President Hoover disap-
points “big business” it will be a case
of rank ingratitude as Well as a grat-
ifying surprise to others.
———QGovernor Fisher has been rid-
ing on a high horse during the pres-
ent session of the Legislature, but he
may be “riding to a fall.”
——Probably Governor Fisher is to
be pittied rather than blamed. Mel-
lon and Grundy are hard-boiled
bosses.

the water. Later they went onto
Cold stream, the dam of which was

with a free flow of water it was
blown up with dynamite. Nothing

SUDDEN DEATH CLAIMS
EDWARD E. BEIDLEMAN
One of the most important figures
in the political life of Pennsylvania
was removed Tuesday when Edward
E. Beidleman, former Lieutenant Gov-
ernor, succumbed to a heart attack.
At the time of his sudden death he
was considered a formidable candi-
date for Governor in 1930. He lost
to the present Governor, John S.
Fisher, in 1926, although he was lead-
ing until the Allegheny county re-
turns came in with a more than 30,-
000 majority for Fisher.
The news that the former Lieuten-
ant Governor had been stricken
reached the capitol while the Legis-
lature was in session Monday night
and word that he had died Tuesday
morning came as a shock to many of
Beidleman’s friends and associates on
Capitol hill, as'cheering reports had
been received from the hospital to
which he was taken after the attack.
Beidleman was 56 years old and
had resided in Harrisburg all his life.
He was admitted to the bar in 1898
and was regarded as one of the lead-
ing attorneys of the State. He was
prominent in numerous fraternal or-
ganizations. For two terms he serv-
ed as president of the State Fire-
man’s association. !
The heart attack came soon after
he began an address at the father's
night celebration of the Parent-
Teachers association at Edison Jun-
ior High school. He was rushed to
the Polyclinic hospital. Soon after
4 a. m., he lapsed into unconscious-
ness and died about 5:30. By a coin-
cidence he died in the same room in
which his former colleague in politi-
cal leadership, W. Harry Baker, ex-
pired. }
At the bedside were his daughter
Catherine, Andrew Patterson, bank
president and close friend, and his
law partner, Arthur H. Hull. His
aged parents and his widow survive.
