BIERLY.—Hon, Willis Reed Bier-
ly, lawyer and author, died Satur-
day morning, January 18, at 2:15
o'clock, at Riverdale, Md., following
an illness of several months. He
was 82 years of age.
Engaged for over half a century in
writing and compiling law books, he
was known to practically every mem-
ber of the bench and bar of the older
generation in Pennsylvania, For some
years, while located at Harrisburg. he
wrote a series of comments on State
affairs which were published under
the heading “Capitolines.”
Besides a number of legal works
bearing his own name he was the
compiler and editor of other im-
portant digests and practice books
which were published under the
name of prominent practicing at-
torneys of the Philadelphia bar.
Mr. Bierly was bornon the Bierly
homestead at Rebersburg, Centre
county, Pennsylvania, June 3, 1847,
a son of Peter S. and Mary (Reed)
Bierly. He obtained his early educa-
tion at the Miles township schools
and academy, and became an instruc-
tor in the Montoursville academy.
From there he went to Williams-
port where he engaged in news-
paper work on the Williamsport
Sun, studying law on the side. In
1870 he was admitted to practiceat
the Lycoming county bar. One
year later he was united in mar-
riage with Florence Hortense
Bosard, of Osceola, N. Y,
His first wife died a year later
and the following year he was
united in marriage with Sarah
| Louise Bosard, a sister of his first
wife.
He was elected to the State Leg-
islature from. Lycoming county in
1873, serving one term. He prose-
cuted one of the first stream pollu-
tion cases in the State of Pennsyl-
vania during his practice in Wil-
liamsport.
In 1883 he moved with his family
to Texas, where he was appointed
State's attorney, having jurisdiction
over the entire western half of the
State. :
The climate of Texas did not
agree with his family and after a
year and a half in that State he
moved to Grand Forks, Dakota Ter-
ritory. .
He had been admitted to practice
in the United States District and
Circuit courts in 1876, and the Su-
preme court in 1879.
At Grand Forks he established the
first Democratic daily newspaper in
the northwest. He was admitted to
practice in the Supreme court of
North Dakota in 1887, but. devoted
most of his energies to his news-
paper work, writing several hand-
books on North Dakota law on the
side. He was a pioneer in the
movement to bringing irrigation
to the semi-arid section of the
northwest, Slade :
In 1894 Mr. Bierly returned to
Pennsylvania and associated himself
with the Rees Welsh law publishing
firm in Philadelphia engaging in
the compiling and editing of digests
and text books for the legal profes-
sion, an occupation which he pur-
sued constantly to within several’
weeks of his death, the last several
months of his work being ' done by
dictation, wheén his physical powers
were unequal to the task of writing.
Possessed of an amazing memory,
a thorough knowledge of the law,
and a constitutional ability to work
almost continuously under high
pressure, Mr, Bierly probably com-
piled more law books during his
lifetime than any other man in
the United States. -
At the time of his death he was
editor-in-chief of the Pepper and
Lewis Quarterly Digest of Decisions,
a position he held for twenty years.
For about six years he was editor
of the Pennsylvania Justices’ Law
Reporter, and among his more
prominent text books were “Time
and Notice in Practice; Police Pow-
er, State and Federal; Juries and
Jury Trials.” ‘
For over sixty years Mr. Bierly
was a member of the Odd Fellows’
lodge, having been a charter member
of the lodge at Montoursville and
a charter member of the Banner
Lodge,-I. O, O. F,, at Grand Forks,
N. D.
By his second marriage he was the
father of eight children, six of whom
survive, as follows: Grace Louise,
widow of James S. MacKay, Chicago,
11l.; Robert Bell, and Jessie, wife of
A. M. Blaisdell, Riverdale, Md.;
Ernest P., Barberton, O.; Karl Reed
and Philip S., of Brookville.
He is also survived by two sisters:
Mrs. Anna Frank, of Pittsburgh, and
Mrs, O. L. Nichols, of Williamsport.
Funeral services were conducted at
Riverdale, Sunday by the Odd Fel-
lows lodge of that place and the re-
mains placed in a receiving vault
pending removal to the family plot
at Rebersburg in the spring.

CHIEF “BALD EAGLE”
AND OTHER INCHBENTS -
: OF LOCAL HISTORY.
" Eyery day one hears. the name of
fhe Bald Eagle Valley, the Bald
Eagle creek, the Bald Eagle or
Muncy mountain yet few realize
that ‘all probably took their names
from the old Delaware Indian chief
“Bald Eagle,” who is associated
with the early settlement of this
community,
“Of “Bald Eagle” very little that
is really authentic is known exoept
the manner and date of his death.
A Mr. McCable wrote a sketch
of his life, but incorporated so much
fiction in it that one is left in the
dark as to what are facts and what
imaginary.
Withers, in his story of the “Bor-
der Warfare,” page 105, gives what
is gene:ally accepted as a correct
‘account of the death of “Bald
Eagle.” It was derived from affida-
vits and made at the time and
loaned him by Maj. Isaac Craig.
According to his statement “Bald
Eagle” was murdered in the autumn
of 1773, while on one of his visits
to the Monongahela, It was while
at Hacker's on the Monongahela,
that Jacob Scott, William Hacker
and Elijah Runner killed him and
placed his body in the stern of his
canoe, with a piece of Johnny-
cake in his mouth,
The canoe floated down to Prov-
ince-place, below George's creek,
Fayette county, when Mr. Province,
obsérving that something was
wrong, had it brought to shore, and
the friendly old ‘Chief was buried on
the . Province farm.
“Bald Eagle” was a Delaware
chief and spoke the English lan-
guage very well. His death inflamed
his tribe with ungovernable rage
and is said to have caused the
war on the Kenawha, followed by
Dunmories expedition in 1774.

tised for the Cathaum theatre, State

“General Crack.” It is a costume
picture and the first all talking one
made by the leading romantic actor
of the stage. It is said that his
voice records with wonderful accu-'

thé entertainment, for Barrymore's
voice has quality seldom heard on

HEBERLING.—Mrs, Arvilla Heber-
ling died at her home at State Col-
lege, about five o'clock on Wednes-
day evening of last week, as the re-
sult of a cerebral hemorrhage, She
had not been in good health for al-
most two years and a year ago was
the victim of a stroke of paralysis,
and this no doubt resulted in the
hemorrhage which caused her- death,
She was a daughter of William
and Susan Roop Bloom and was born
at White Hall fifty-eight years ago.’
Following the death of her father
family moved to Pine Grove
Mills where she grew to womanhood.
In 1895 she married Mr, Heberling
and the first few years of their mar-
‘ried life were spent at Pine Grove
Mills, Twenty-one years ago they
moved to State Ccllege and that
had been their home since. She was
a member of the Lutheran church
for many years and was connected
with various church organizations.
She is survived by her husband
and two sons, Ralph Heberling, an
employee of the State Forestry
service, and LeRoy, a Sophomore at
State College. She also leaves one
sister and a brother, Mrs, Mary
Campbell, of Lawrence, Kan, and
John D. Bloom, of Des Moines, Towa;
also, one half-brother, E, S. Erb, al-
so of State College. .
Rev. J. F. Harkins had charge of
the funeral services which were held
at two o'clock Saturday afternoon
at her late home, burial being made
in the Pine Hall cemetery.

EVRY. ens F. Evey, of Le-
mont, died at the Centre County
hospital, on Tuesday, as the result
of hardening of the arteries. He was
a son of Levi and Hettie Evey and
was born at Fillmore 82 years ago.
He was a stone mason by trade, an
occupation he followed until a few
years ago. He was a member of the
Methodist church and the oldest
member of the Lemont lodge of Odd
Fellows,
He married Miss Sarah Painter
who died a number of years ago,
but he leaves four children: Mrs.
James Williams, of Millbrook; Rob-
ert F. Evey and Mrs. A. C. Grove,
of Bellefonte, and Wade S. Evey,
of Pleasant Gap. Funeral service
‘will be held tomorrow afternoon,
burial to be made at Boalsburg.
,- In these
young men. ‘quit the farm: to accept
positions in the towns or cities, itis
especially interesting to learn from a
report of county vocational supervis-
or William S. Jeffries just how
much money can be made in farm-
ing, if it is properly done, During
the past year Mr. Jeffries has had
charge of classes in vocational agri-
culture at Howard, Pleasant Gap.
Boalsburg, Port Matilda, and other
places in the county. Every pupil
in the class must take up some prac-
tical line of agricultural work, It
may be growing potatoes, corn or
garden truck, feeding lambs, calves,
etc. Strict account is kept of every
project and all summed up at the
end of the year shows the following
record for the work under the sup-
ervision of Mr. Jeffries: :
Total Receipts isl
Total Expens
Net Profit ..
Self Labor .. 4
Labor Income 20,205.47
And all the above by boys and
girls studying vocational agriculture
in Centre county. The boys enroll-
ed in these classes have made a fine
record, as some of the very finest
projects in the State were in Cen-
tre county. Several of the boys in
the Gregg township vocational
school have had fine enough projects
to stamp them as consistent win-
ners in the State project contest.
Speaking of the vocational work Mr.
Jeffries said:
“In order that a student may real-
ly fix his knowledge of any subject
it is necessary for him to put into
practice this knowledge. Project
work in High school agriculture is
that part of the work of the course
carried on at home or on the farm.
“The agricultural project is a
wholehearted, purposeful farm en-
terprise carried out to completion in
its natural setting. The pupil, with
the assistance of the instructor, se-
lects, plans and carries out’ the work
in some field of agricultural endeav-
or.
“The term “project” is not a new
word, For many years it has been
used by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture to mean ‘“carefuly plan-
ned investigation in agricultural
science covering a considerable per-
ior of time” and today we have run-
ning at the Pennsylvania experiment
stations Project No. 673, “Vitamine
D Requirements of a Dairy Cow,”
and Project No. 566, “A Field Test
of Different Carriers of Phosphorus,”
as types of projects the meaning of
which we are familiar with, A proj-
ect of this sense is a purposeful
activity requisite of mature brains
and ambitious men.
“In Smith-Hughes vocational agri-
culture the term is employed in con-
nection with agricultural jobs pur-
sued at home by school children.
These purposeful activities have
been named home projects and to
day we have in Pennsylvania a hun-
dred or more teachers in vocational
agriculture supervising “home proj-
ects.” The unit of purposeful activ-
ity here is pursued as a learning
exercise in a natural setting so that
the boy may learr. while he earns.
“The aims of the agriculture proj-
ect are: First, to increase the skill
of the student in the operation and
and application of agricultural prin-
ciples; second, to develop manager-
ial ability; third, increase financial
returns; and fourth, community im-
provement.
“One of the greatest values re-
ceived from the agricultural course
in the high school is the knowledge
and experience gained from the farm
project. The project teaches the boy
to work for himslf and it shows him
that accurate records must be kept
if he is to carry on a farm business
successfully, A project will usually
net the boy financial returns, but
even if his enterprise fails financial-
ly, his effort is not a total loss, for
it shows him his faults and may
thereby save him loss in the future.”
THE END OF A PERFECT DAY
Walter Melton, a structural steel
worker employed at State College,
and Leo Keenan, also of that place,
are in the Centre county jail in con-
sequence of their too violent enjoy-
ment of what was evidently a perfect
day for them last Saturday.
Lubricated to the point of ebuli-
ent exhileration the men were head-
ed in Melton’s new Ford toward Le-
mont. Harry Inhoff, a pedestrian,
signalled to warn them of the dan-
gerous curve just this side of that
place, but they gave no heed to it.
Approaching the curve from the op-
posite direction were Charles Zeig-
ler, in his car, and Prof. Joseph
Hayes, principal of the State College
High school in his, The flying Mel-
ton just grazed Ziegler's car but
struck that of Hayes with such
force as to practically demolish it
and his own. No one was hurt, how-
ever.
Patrolman Pfaeffle happened on
the scene and placed Melton and
Keenan under arrest. Commandeer-
ing a passing car he brought his pris-
oners to jail here but as the car
stalled in the snow when it attempt-
ed to go up jail hill the officer had
to invite his guests to walk, Either
they didn’t want to walk or sketch-
ily remembered that it was State
College and not the jail they wanted
to go to for a fight started and a
number of by standers had to be
deputized before they could be sub-
dued.
When searched a 32 calibre gun
was found on Melton so they are
facing all manner of possible
charges. Melton failed to raise $1,-
400 bail and Keenan couldn't raise
the $900 so both are still guests of
the sheriff.
