furrow through the flesh on the

ture the skull bone. Sabit who lives
down near the old glass works site
has been somewhat erratic of late,

called out, on Sunday afternoon, by | oveiang to Bellefonte, himself, then For Jury Commissioner:
a fire at Little Mooseheart, out near
the Jewish cemetery, which proved to
be a one-story kitchen at the home
of Lewis Haupt. The fire had gain-
ed such headway that the kitchen
was burned down but the house was
saved. On Monday evening the de-
partment was again called out by a
fire which destroyed a stable on the
rear end of Mrs. T. C. Shoemaker’s

blue and white isin for another lac-
ing. Time was when Bucknell was re-
garded as a “push over” for State,
but since Carl Snavely took up his
residence in the coach’s apartment at
Lewisburg the Bisons have become al.
most as big a Jonah for us as the
cockpit of

AIRMAIL PILOT LIVES |
AFTER MOUNTAIN CRASH
Broken Left Arm Most Serious In-
Jury Sustained by Jack Web_
ster, Dean of Airmail
Fliers
A broken left arm, the little finger
on his left hand broken, superficial
cuts and bruises, but still very much
alive is Jack Webster, dean of air-
mail pilots on the New York-Cleve-
land division of the transcontinental
airmail route, after his plane crash-
ed in the Rattlesnake terrain of the
Allegheny mountains with sufficient
force to reduce it to a pile of junk. !
The crash occurred about 2:20
o'clock on Saturday morning and it
was eleven o'clock Saturday night
before Webster was found and taken
to the Philipsburg hospital where,
several hours later, he told the story
of the crash and his nerve-racking
experience to division superintend-
ent Wesley L. Smith and B. P. Lott,
of Chicago, an official of the Nation-
al Air Transport.
According to Webster's story |
when he reached Bellefonte about
midnight, Friday night, it was rain-:
ing quite hard and he landed on the
Bellefonte field. He came into town
and got a lunch at a restaurant then
returned to the field. The rainstorm .
passed about 1:30 and it was 2:05
o'clock when he checked out on the
continuation of his western trip. As
he struck the Allegheny mountains,
however, he flew into a hard rain
and sleet storm with freezing tem-
perature. The wings of his plane
hecame so heavily coated with ice
that he could not keep it in the air
and when he found himself going
down he braced for the inevitable
crash. Fortunately there are no tall
trees on the plateau west of the Rat-
tlesnake and the plane fell ina dense
growth of bracken, or underbrush
which, though the plane was wreck-
ed, doubtless served as a cushion
and broke the force of the fall. |
Webster was knocked unconscious
and when he finally recovered con- |
sciousness it was daylight. He took
stock of himself and naturally was
surprised and overjoyed to discover
that he was still alive, and aside
from 3 broken arm and finger, in
pretty fair shape considering the
wrecked condition of his machine.
Naturally his first thought, after
making sure he could travel, was to |
get out of the mountain and some
place where he could get help to save ,
his cargo of mail, and he started
through the woods. :
Suffering from shock and weak- .
ness, and the pain from his broken
arm, the going was slow and tortu-'
ous. He would travel awhilz then
lie down and rest.
Along toward noon he saw planes
circling in the air and he kucw they
were looking for him but he had no
way of signalling to them. The
pangs of hunger and thirst added to
his physical pain almost overcame
him and he finally laid down and
|
slept for several hours. When he
awoke he continued his journey.
When darkness fell, Saturday even-
ing, he was still in the woods, trav-
eling onward but he did not know
where. It was well onto eleven
o'clock when he finally tottered out
onto the Philipsburg pike, about two
and a half miles northwest of the
paint of his accident. i
On reaching the road he slumped
down on the bank, thankful that he
had made his way out of the woods.
He was there only a brief time
when he heard an automobile ap-
proaching. He managed to signal
the driver and the car stopped. The
occupants proved to be Robert Cus-
tar, John Wilson and Alice Green,
three young people of Philipsburg,
who were on their way to the Rat-'
tlesnake to join in the hunt for the
missing pilot. They quickly loaded
Webster into their car -and conveyed
him to the Philipsburg hospital.
Doctors hurriedly examined him and |
as soon as they determined that his
injuries were not critical they called !
Bellefonte and notified W. L. Smith
that Webster was there and not dan- |
gerously hurt. Smith and Lott mo-
tored to Philipsburg at once and,
found Webster cheerful and content- '
ed. y |
Webster's crash was first suspect- |
ed when he failea to reach Cleveland |
Saturday morning, after being re- |
ported out of Bellefonte. Inquiry all
along th> route failcd to reveal any
trace of him. Planes were then sent |
out from Chicago, Cleveland and |
New York to patrol the route. Sup- |
erintendent W. L. Smith flew from |
started back over the route and
shortly before noon discovered the
wrecked plane on the Rattlesnake |
plateau. Flying back to Bellefonte |
he reported the find and joined the |
first party that left the field by au-
omobile for the scene of the wreck.
Tt was after the noon hour when
they reached there and located the |
wrecked plane, but their astonish- |
ment was great when they found |
pilot Webster missing. His para- !
chute had been jerked open in the
crash and was trailing out of the
the wrecked plane. In
the cockpit were also found Web-
ster's helmet, his revolver, flashlight
and a broken finger ring which was
wrenched off his little fingerin the
crash. There was blood on his hel-
met and the top of the control pan-
el, but no sign of Webster. The mail
was intact. Some of the men re-
moved the mail and carried it to a
fire trail where it was taken in
charge by postmaster John L. Knise-
ly and Morton Smith, who conveyed
it to Unionville, while the search
was then started for the missing pi-
lot.
It might here be stated that there
were tweny-one sacks of mail and
the wrecked plane fell some three or
four hundred yards from the fire
trail, the nearest spot it was possibie
to reach by automobile, and the half
dozen or so men who had reached
the wreck fell to with willing hands
and helped to carry the mail out;
and it was no easy job, as the
ground is thickly covered with ‘a
tangled growth of underbrush, so!
that it was a hard and tiresome job.
In the searching party were super-
intendent Smith, Mr. Lott, J. C.
Tower, of the Department of Com-
merce; Forrest Tanner, manager of
the Bellefonte field, and several
score of people from Unionville and
the country roundabout. They hunt-
ed until darkness fell, Saturday ev-
BELLEFONTE HIGH WINS
ARMISTICE DAY GAME
The Bellefonte High school foot-
ball team won the Armistice day
conference game, on Hughes field,
from Lewistown by the narrow
margin of one point, the score being
14 to 13, and it was Lewistown’s off-
side playing that gave victory to the
home team.
The day was ideal for the game
and the largest crowd ever seen on |
Hughes field was present to witness
the battle between the young pig-
skin gladiators. ' Various estimates
place the crowd at about four thou-
sand, but they were not by any
| means all paid admissions.

HORSES AND COWS BURN |
IN LARGE BARN FIRE
Two horses, six cows, all the
year’s crops and many farm imple-
ments were burned in a fire which
completely destroyed the large
barn on the C. W. Simpson farm,
near Pennsylvania Furnace, at an
early hour on Sunday morning. The
loss is estimated at $9000, partially
covered by insurance. {
Mr. Simpson has no knowledge as
to how the fire originated. It was
discovered about 2:30 o'clock in the
morning and had already gained
such headway that it was impossible
to save the stock or anything in the
building.

led the parade of |
High school students to Hughes field |
, down. Lewistown lined up in forma-
lion to kick the goal from touch-
i down but instead of doing so rushed
the ball across for the extra point
{and the first period ended with the
| score 14 to 7 in favor of Bellefonte.
This ended the scoring until well
i along toward the end of the fourth
! period when Lewistown, through a
succession of line plunges and end
| runs, put the oval over for another
| touchdown. Again they fooled the
! Bellefonte players by rushing the
| ball over for the extra point after
lining up for a kick, but the team
| was off-side and the point was not
; allowed. Score 14 to 13 in favor of
. Bellefonte.
| That ended the scoring and Belle-
fonte had the ball almost in midfield
when the whistle blew for the end
of the game. Bellefonte made 15
first downs to Lewistown’s 6 during
the game, and outplayed Lewistown
most of the time.
Unfortunately there was consider-
able slugging and roughness during
most of the contest. Lewistown was
the most aggressive in this respect
but Bellefonte was not entirely
| blameless. In the fourth quarter
Capt. Confer was compelled to retire
from the field because of an injured
shoulder, and several other Belle-
fonte players had to get out of the
game because of injuries. Just how
serious the injuries may prove to be
ing of this article.
Bellefonte will play its last home
game of the season on Hughes field
tomorrow, with Morrisdale. This,
however, will not be a conference
game.
