Harrisburg Centre county’s alloca-
tion of $375,088 from the State high-
way fund under the Wheeler-Flynn
act will be used to build the six miles
of road from State College to Wad-
dle. Just when the road will be
built has not been announced.
— The story to the effect that
Centre Hall is entirely without water
is not true. While the supply is low
there is still enough in the borough’s
supply and reservoirs to provide for
reasonable needs. Users have been
asked to save, wherever possible, so
that if the drought continues the sit-
uation will not became serious.
—The Odd Fellows of Pennsylva-
nia are going to have a great picnic
at Hershey Park, Hershey, Pennsyl-
vania, on Saturday, August 31st. It
will be under the auspices of the past
grands association of Dauphin coun-

nestly invited.
Some fifteen or more em-
ployees of the Bellefonte postoffice
motored to Clearfield, on Saturday
afternoon, to attend a district meet-
ing of the Postal Employees associa-
tion. Following the business meet-
ing the three hundred or more dele-
gates were entertained with a ban-
quet, at the Dimeling hotel, by Con-
gressman J. Mitchell Chase.
Airplanes, fast railroad trains,
motor busses and automobiles are
being used these days to expedite de-
livery of the United States mails,
and on Monday the regularly mailed
copy of the DuBois Express dated
“Tuesday, February 26,” just reached
this office. One hundred and seven-
ty-five days coming from DuBois to
Bellefonte is not exactly speedy serv-
ice.
N. E. Hess’ stuffed Kodiac
bear was removed from the Schaeffer
hardware store, on Wednesday morn-
ing, and taken by motor truck to
State College, where it will become
an important acquisition to his muse-
um of mounted animals. It might be
added that the bear, lying on its back
in the truck, did not look anyways
near as ferocious as it did standing
on its pedestal.
‘The George I. Thompson com-
pany, of Clearfield, was low bidder
for rebuilding 1.68 miles of concrete
highway between Milesburg and
Bellefonte, at the State highway let-
ting last Friday. Their bid is $128,-
895. At the letting on July 19th the
B. G. Coon Construction company, of
Luzerne county, was low bidder at
$130,435, but the Highway Depart-
ment considered the bid too high and
refused to award the contract.
‘Whether the Thompson company is
given the contract remains to be
seen.
— Samuel Solt, well known Span-
ish-American war veteran of Belle-
fonte, Williamsport or wherever his
old Ford happens to take him, was
arrested at Grampian, Sunday after-
noon, by State motor patrolmen, on
the charge of driving his automobile
while intoxicated. Taken before
Judge Chase, at Clearfield, on Mon-
day, he plead guilty and was sentenc-
ed to pay the costs and serve ten
days in jail, the lightest possible sen-
tence that could be imposed. It is
also likely that Solt will lose his np-
erator’s license.
An employee of the Bellefonte
post-office will start, this week. on a
complete ‘canvass of Bellefonte for
the purpose of interesting property
owners in the voluntary numbering
of their houses. Numbering of the
homes of every patron of the post
office in Bellefonte is one of the
things required by the Postoffice De-
partment as an essential factor in
the erection of a public building here,
and postmaster John L. Knisely
hopes that a ready response will be
given the young man who will make
a canvass of the town.
——Twenty-five guests have been
invited to witness the marriage of
Miss Martha Chambers, of Belle-
fonte, and Spencer Clinger, of Nor-
ristown, which will take pace at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
‘Mrs. William C. Chambers, on east
Curtin street, Bellefonte, at 11
o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) morn-
ing. A wedding breakfast and recep-
tion will follow the ceremony. Miss
Chambers completed her Junior year
at State College last June and her
wedding will preclude her graduation.
Mr. Clinger was also a student at
Penn State but gave up his college
career to go to work in anticipa-
tion of his marriage. He is now em-
ployed by the Ingersoll Rand com-
pany, at Lansdowne, where the
young couple will make their home.
COUNCIL ASKED FOR AID
! TO ERECT AIRPORT SIGN.
No Decision Reached in Dairyman’s
League Request for Land for
| Building Site.
Arguments were presented to bor
ough council, at the regular meeting
on Monday evening, of the advertis-
ing advantages of an airport sign, by
Robert F. Hunter, postmaster John
L. Knisely and others, and in conclu-
! sion, council was asked to appropri-
ate an approximate sum of $1000
toward the expense of erecting the
sign and also bear the expense of the
i light for same, which was estimated
at about $90 a year. {
Mr. Hunter stated that the prop-
osition to erect a complete sign had
been abandoned because of inability
to get a proper location, but Thom-
as Beaver has agreed to permit the
erection of a sign on the old hangar
and will make no charge therefor.
His present proposition was to erect
a Neon sign, 60 feet in length with
letters six feet high. The Neon sign
is similar to that on the Penn Belle
hotel and at Baumgardner’s restau-
rant. Mr. McMurray, of the Neon
Sign company, was present and ex-
plained the nature of the proposed
sign which, erected, will cost $1800.
Postmaster Knisely stated that the
Postoffice Department is after him to
do all he can to influence the erec-
stated that at the present time the
Bellefonte field and will take any im-
portant mail from the Bellefonte of-
fice, and he believes that ere long all
planes will stop here.
As a further argument Mr. Hunter
added that there is just a possibility
that an airplane factory may be lo-
cated in Bellefonte in the near fu-
ture, and a proper sign or marker
might have some influence in obtain-
ing the new enterprise. After dis-
cussing the matter pro and con for
about an hour the matter was refer-
red to the Special committee to con-
sult the borough solicitor in regard
to the borough’s authority to appro-
priate money for such a purpose,
and also get the matter in such a
shape as to make a definite report at
te next meeting of council.
Samuel Roberts asked for a per-
mit to build a house on Wilson
street to cost not less than $5,000,
and the matter was referred to the
Village Improvement committee with
power.
Secretary Kelly presented a bill
from the Auditor General for $746.32
tax on bonded indebtedness, and it
was referred to the Finance commit-
tee for investigation.
The Water committee reported va-
rious repairs and the collection of
$290 on water taxes.
The Finance committee reported
receipt from the State of $929.28 in
State tax on foreign insurance, which
goes to the Fireman’s Relief Assocfa-
tion. The committee also reported a
balance in the hands of the treasur-
er of approximately $3500.
Mr. Emerick reported the borough
tax duplicate completed, which
shows a total of $20,811.84 borough
tax, $20,811.84 for street purposes,
and $10,405.62 for interest.
Mr. Cunningham presented a letter
from the Dairyman’s League and
Farmer's Cooperative Association in
which it was set forth that the League
has given up the idea of renting
a building for a plant here, but
submitted a proposition for the pur-
chase of a piece of ground 200x75
feet in size, on the north-east corner
of the old Phoenix mill dam site
on which to erect a plant.
The matter was discussed by
councilmen in regard to the price
that should be asked and was refer-
red back to the committee for a
more definite report at a special
meeting to be held next Monday
evening.
M. W. Williams was granted a
permit to erect a one story garage of
concrete blocks on Pike alley, in the
rear of his residence.
Bills totalling $1981.96 were ap-
proved for payment after which
council adjourned.
CHICKEN THIEVES AT
MILLHEIM ARRESTED.
On Saturday night, August 10th,
eleven chickens valued at $18.00 were
stolen from a resident of Millheim.
The matter was reported to county
thorough investigation, placed under
arrest Ralph Hosterman, of Millheim,
and Palmer Wheeland and James
Stover, of Northumberland. They

REMONSTRANCE AGAINST
OPENING BURNSIDE STREET.
At a brief session of court, on
Tuesday morning, Arthur C. Dale
Esq., presented a remonstrance
against the opening of Burnside
street, Bellefonte, for which viewers
have already been appointed.
Mr. Dale also presented a petition
asking for a preliminary injunction
against the Lord Construction com-
pany, the borough of Milesburg and
the State Highway Department to
prevent them from taking thirty feet
off of lots owned-by O. E. Miles in
Milesburg, for a distance of 150 feet,
for the purpose of widening the high-
way in that borough. In asking for
the injunction Mr. Dale stated that
it was not the purpose of Mr. Miles
to hold up the building of the road
but so far no one has seen fit to ex-
ecute an indemnifying bond for dam-
ages or taken any legal move to take
the land under the right of eminent
domain, and the action was merely
one to compel them to resort to the
regular legal process.
A petition was also presented for
the appointment of a guardian for
John and Martin Grove, minors and
feeble minded children of the late
John W. Grove.

AXE MANN GIRL DIES FROM
AUTO ACCIDENT INJURIES.
Horribly injured when run down
by an automobile, at Axe Mann, last
Saturday morning, Christina Solt,
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Solt, died at the Centre County
hospital at 5:30 o'clock on Sunday
evening.
The accident occurred when Harry
Biddle, of Tyrone, sixteen years old,
a cousin of the girl who was on a
visit at the Solt home, was in the
act of taking her for a ride on his
bicycle. The Solt home stands up on
the bank south of the highway and
a flight of steps leads down to the
road. The Biddle youth had ridden
up to the steps where the girl perch-
ed on the handle bars of the bike
and the young riders swung out in-
to the road right in front of the
automobile of William Eckley, of
Lewistown, who was driving toward
Bellefonte. The car struck the bicy-
cle, throwing the little girl in front of
the machine. She was dragged along
the road for quite a distance, the car
finally passing over her, crushing her
so badly that the little body was torn
open so that her intestines protruded.
The Biddle boy was thrown clear of
the machine.
Mr. Eckley stopped as quickly as
possible and picking up the injured
child, brought her and the boy, who
was knocked unconscious, to the hos-
pital. Everything possible was done
to save the life of the girl but in
vain. The Biddle boy’s injuries did
not prove serious and he was able to
go home on Tuesday.
The unfortunate victim of the ac-
cident was a daughter of William
and Esther Solt and was born on
January 7th, 1919, hence was 12
years, 7 months and 10 days old.
The family moved to Axe Mann from
Bellefonte. In addition to the par-
ents the following brothers and sis-
ters survive: John Solt, of Johns-
town; Rebecca, address unknown;
Sarah, Mary, Lewis, Melvin, Harry,
Luther and Lovan, all at home.
Funeral services were held in the
Union church, at Axe Mann, at two
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, bur-
ial being made at Unionville.
101 RANCH RAIDED BY
COUNTY DETECTIVE BODEN.
Last Friday evening county detec-
tive Leo Boden, assisted by local of-
ficers, raided the 101 Ranch, in Union
township, and siezed a complete out-
fit for the making of home brew, an
unusually large number of empties,
and a gallon of liquor hid in the
bushes outside of the building. At
the time Harold Stellar and William
E. McLaughlin were placed under
arrest, and on Monday W. R. Eckel,
charged with beng the owner of the
Ranch, was placed under arrest.
All of the young men gave bond for
their -appearance at court.
COUNTY DETECTIVE
ASSAULTS BUSINESS MAN
On Tuesday afternoon county de-
tective Leo Boden assaulted John P.
Eckel, merchant of Bellefonte, and
is said to have ordered him out of
his office in the court house.
Eckel had gone to the Commission-
er’s office, in which detective Boden
has a desk, to ascertain something
concerning the action brought against
his son, W. R. Eckel, in consequence
of the raid on the ‘101 Ranch” ear-
lier in the week, and with which it is
alleged the younger Eckel is connect-
ed as an owner.
The altercation between the coun-
ty law officer and the father of the
accused son became rather acrimo-
mous. In fact it reached the point
where Eckel says Boden struck him
a terrific blow in the face, knock-
ing his glasses off and stunning him
for a moment or more. It was done,
too, while the merchant was sitting
down. The frenzied officer then flung
the door open and ordered Eckel
out. He refused to go, however, be-
ause he said it was a public office
and being a tax payer he had as
much right there as anyone else.
The fracas resulted in the arrest
of the county detective on a charge
of assault and battery. Boden waiv-
ed a hearing and the case has gone
over to court.

just across the river from his home up
in New York. He had a car full
of folks who were on their
way to Harrisburg, we presume, because
Don Gearhart, of that city, was with them
and while he had the look of ‘home ain’t
nothing like this‘ we do remember his
having said something about having to
get back to Harrisburg. However, it
doesn’t matter which way they were
headed we know they were having a fine
time and we envied everyone of them.

—A Watchman office caller, Saturday
evening, was Mr. G. Packer, of McKean
county, who, with several members of his
family, was on a brief motor trip back to
his old home locality in the foothills of
the Alleghenies in Howard township. In
the days when Mr. Packer lived in Cen-
tre county considerable lumbering was
still being done on the Allegheny moun-
tains and having worked in the woods
from boyhood he became an expert with
the axe. When lumbering ceased in this
section of the State he drifted to McKean
county where he secured employment with
the Otto Chemical company, at Burrows.
At the company's solicitation he moved
his family there thirty-nine years ago
and took charge of its boarding
house. In due course of time he was
put in charge of the company’s lumber-
ing activities and some years ago gave up
the boarding house. Recently the com-
pany established new operations at Ser-
geant, three miles from Kane, and that is
where Mr. Packer now lives. His
employers manufacture charcoal, wood
alcohol and one or two. other by
products. Hard woods are used ex-
clusively and ‘practically all ‘of it is sec-
ond growth timber, and there is enough
of it there to last for years to come.
