practice has enabled them to become
quite proficient with the slings and
quite a number of birds have been

brutal sport, but is against the law,

POSTOFFICE BUILDING.
The White Brothers to Build it on
Valentine Property Which
They Recently Bought.
Bellefonte is to have a new post-
office building but it will not be
built by the Government. . It will be
constructed by Bond and Ray White
.on the northern end of the Valentine
lot corner :of High -and*Spring'Sts.,
which they. . purchased several
‘months ago. A contract for a ten
year’ lease on the :building-was re-
ceived by the White brothers, on
Tuesday. The contract calls for a
building with not less than 3,000
cubic feet of floor space.
The Rhoads Bros. have been award-
ed the contract for the building
which is to be constructed of rein-
forced polished concrete. It will be
60x50 feet in size and will be set in
far enough from the north end of
the lot to permit a ten foot parking
space along the width of the lot on
Cherry alley. The contract calls for
®he completion of the building by Sep-
tember 1st, 1929, but as the official
documents were only received this
week proper allowance will have to
be made.
The building will be one story in
height. The foundations will natur-
ally be put down first. When it is
completed the forms for the walls of
the building will be put up complete
so that when concrete pouring be-
gins it can be carried along contin-
uously until the walls are up. This
will obviate any tendency to crack-
ing. The polishing will be done af-
ter the forms are removed. :
Just what the White brothers will
do with the old Valentine homestead
has not yet been determined. With
the postoffice located on Spring
street it offers ‘a good location for
a business block and it is just pos-
sible it might be converted into one.
BIRMINGHAM YOUNG MAN
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
Paul Tolen, 22 years old of Bir-
mingham, was almost instantly killed
about 6:20 o'clock on Sunday even-
ing when he rode his motorcycle
head-on into the automobile of Frank |
Deitrick, of Bishop street, Bellefonte, |
on the Bald Eagle valley concrete
highway about two miles west of
Julian. Tolen was riding west and
Deitrick headed for Bellefonte, both |

at the same time. Deitrick, naturally
had the right of way and corporal
Graham, state highway patrolman of
Bellefonte, who investigated the ac-
cident, said that he was not to'

impact against the Dietrick auto and

MARSH CREEK BRIDGE
COLLAPSED LAST WEEK.
The county bridge over A Marsh
creek, in Liberty township, ‘collapsed
last week, under the weight of a mo-
tor truck load of sand, leaving the |
truck suspended om an abutment.
The truck was driven by Russell Lu-
cas, of Lock Haven, who was accom-
panied by his wife and child. The
truck was almost across the bridge
when the flooring gave way and fell
eighteen feet into the bed of the
of the truck had gained the farther
abutment just as the floor fell and
the truck hung suspended by the
wheels, holding the family prisoners
for a time.
Lucas finally succeeded in climbing
from the truck to the abutment and
then helped out his wife ‘and child.
A derrick pulled the truck to the
road.
The bridge had only recently been
surveyed by the State Highway De-
partment with a view of taking it over
from Centre county next year.
Officials of the Highway Depart-
ment established a detour, on Satur-
day, around the bridge, directing
motorists to ford the creek, now at
low stage.

MORE FACTS ABOUT
MRS. BARRY’S WILL.
In the Watchman of September
20th was published a brief state-
ment of the will of the late Mrs.

formerly of Bellefonte. The item
was copied from the columns of the
Philadelphia Inquirer and was in-
correct in detail. In her will Mrs.

of the family, relatives and friends
leaving the residue of her estate to
all her children, share and share

er victory this year. Remember, the
game will be called promptly at 2
o'clock and the same men who offi-
ciated last Saturday will be in

INDIAN SKELETON
TAKEN TO COLLEGE.
Last week the Watchman carried
a brief item relative to the uncover-
ing of what is believed to be an
Indian skeleton, on Water street,
Milesburg, while excavating for the
new State highway. The belief that
the skeleton was that of an Indian
was strengthened by ..the. fact, that
between: the bones . of the clasped
hands :was. a piece’ of flint, appar-
ently, in, the course of being fashion:
ed into an arrow. head. Two peculiar
teeth were also found with the | skele-
ton, both of which were apparently
from the heads of different animals.
The bones of the skeleton were all
in place except portions of the low-
er leg bones, which could not be
found.
On the strength that the find
might prove of historical value State
College officials sent men down and
had the skeleton removed to that
place. In order to remove it intact
a box form was built around itand
this was filled with plaster of Paris.
When the latter solidified the skele-
ton was lifted intact and taken to
the College. History cites the fact
that about 170 years ago chief Bald
Eagle and his tribe camped on the
spot that is now Milesburg borough
and it is just possible that the
skeleton is that of one of his braves.
Robert R. Jones, representing the
eastern unit of the Pennsylvania
Archeological Survey made a study of
the skeleton at State College, this
week, and said it was that of a male
about 22 years of age.
Jones found that the young war-
. rior had suffered with rheumatism as
shown by pitted marks in the hip
joints, and that he had had a severe
bump on the back of his head t] at
had healed over, probably caused by
an attempted scalping in battle, or
marital troubles with the squaw. The
skeleton was doubled up with the
knees drawn up under the chin.
Further investigation of the suppos-
' ed Indian burial mound is expected to
show that a tribe of the Iroquoishad
had a village within a few hundred
yards, at the intersection of Spring
and Bald Eagle creeks. Many Indian
relics have been found there by col-
lectors.
During the investigation it was
learned that a year ago a bushel of
bones had been found in making cel-
lar excavations across the road from
the Sholl home, indicating the exis-
tence of a burial trench.
Professor C. A. Bonnie, head of the
college department of geology, and
Dr. F. M. Swartz, assistant professor
of paleontology, with other members
of the staff of the school of mines
and metallurgy, lifted the skeleton |
and are preparing it for exhibition.
It will rest in the museum of the
mineral industries building now being
erected on the campus.

THE WORK OF THE .
: CHRISTMAS SBAL
The public knows vaguely that
Christmas seal money is used to
fight tuberculosis. The function of
the seal is, first of all, a teacher. The
officials of the county and town can
expend taxes for only those activities
which their constituents approve and
demand. They cannot experiment
with new ventures. It is this need
which the seal fills.
It can provide nurses, nutrition-
ists, clinics, in short answer every
kind of public health need a particu-
lar district may have. !
After a period of trial the com-
munity can then appropriate its own
funds to continue and the seal money
is withdrawn and set to work in new
fields. An outstanding example of
this procedure has been the nutrition
program; in county schools. We be-
speak the support of all public spirit-
ed citizens of this county and urge
them to buy Christmas seals, in or-
der that we may carry on this pro-
gram for the health of the commun-
ity. fry 3 ; 4 3
All activities used to fight tuber-
the Christmas seals for support dur-
ing the next year.

: About a month ago Judge Fleming
gave Charley a letter of introduction
to the master of ceremonies at the
Allegheny work house. It was sup-
posed to have been good for from
one to two years, but the erstwhile
purveyor of “moonshine” probably
thinks there was something phoney
about it, for they were very inhos-
pitable at Allegheny and wouldn't

The trouble seems to be that he is

kill him, but is véry bothersome and
Charley has his hands so full withit
that he is impotent, so far as work
house chores are concerned.
What sheriff Dunlap will do with

morning, after the devotional period.
Just before the sermon one of the
members asked permission to speak
speech told of the appreciation of the
congregation for the work which
Rev. and Mrs. Snyder have done
among them the past two years, and
with well chosen words welcomed
them back for their third year,
pledging the cooperation of the mem-
{pers for the months which are to
follow.

with a substantial cash offering,

thanks for the beautiful and useful
gifts, assuring the congregation that
because of the cooperation which has
been. manifested they have never
spent two happier years in the Mas-
ter's work, and pledged their unstint-
ed services to the church and congre-
gation for the ensuing year.
