that at the same point two boys
came along and the larger of the
two either purposely or unintention-

The latter was carrying on her arm
a small basket in which were some
letters she was taking to mail and

promptly made a return trip through
the alley the letters were gone,

bumped against her it was with the
intention of grabbing her pocketbook

disappeared when she returned to
the alley. So far as the letters were
concerned there was nothing in them
of any value to the boys or anybody
else who might get them,

years a well known resident of
shooting himself in the head, at his
home at Linden Hall, just after he
had eaten his dinner, last Thursday
afternoon, The shot was not imme-
a half but never regained conscious-
ness. He had not been
been unable to get much work this

was a laborer by occupation and for
a period of twenty years

end is cause for deep regret among
all who knew him. .
As a young man he married Miss
Elizabeth Bohn who survives with
two daughters, Mrs. Alfred H, Walk-
er, of Boalsburg, and Miss Bertha,
at home. He also leaves one grand-
son, John B. Walker of Boalsburg,
and the following brothers and sis-
ters: Elmer Harshbarger, of Spruce-
town; James, of Linden Hall; Calvin,
of Altoona; David, of Youngstown,
Ohio; Mrs, Milton Kline, of Tussey-
ville, and Mrs. Calvin Coble, of Oak
Hall.
Funeral services were held at his
late home, at 1:30 o'clock on Mon-
day afternoon, by his pastor, Rev,
W. W. Moyer, burial being made in
the Boalsburg cemetery.
Members of the family hereby ex-
press their thanks and appreciation
to friends and neighbors for their
kind services during the time of
their bereavement.

STEEL WORKERS GIVEN
TWO YEARS IN JAIL
i Walter - Melton and Leo Keenan,
"the two structural steel workers
| from State College, who became
quite pugnacious when they were
arrested two weeks ago for driving
j fluence of liquor and wrecking two
| other cars, entered pleas of guilty
| before Judge Fleming, on Saturday,
and were each sentenced to pay the
riod of two years, but the judge qual-
ified the sentence by telling the men
that ‘after they had spent enough
time with sheriff Dunlap to serious-
ly consider the possible consequences
of their unlawful actions and decide
to make good the ‘damages to the
cars they wrecked they might apply
for a parole and the court would
then give their cases further consid-
eration. :
The men were not represented by
counsel but before their cases were
called the contractor at the College
in whose employ the men were
talked privately with the court. In
sentencing the men Judge Fleming
to the penitentiary for eight years
and Keenan six, if he were inclined
to do so, but he intended giving
them a chance. He then imposed
the sentence noted above,
Court then took a recess until
1:30 o’clock when Albert Ward, alias
Elmer Weaver, an escaped Rockview
penitentiary prisoner, was brought
before the bar for sentence. Weaver,
who was quite youthful in appear-
ance, was originally sent up from Al-
legheny county in December, 1925,
|for five to ten years for burglary.
| After serving three years and four
| months he escaped from Rockview
| penitentiary on April 20th, 1929, He
eluded all efforts at recapture until
January ‘15th, a little over two weeks
ago, when he was arrested in Oil
City, after robbing a private resi-
dence and a school house, He was
taken to the Franklin county jail
and an investigation disclosed the
fact that he was an escaped Rock-
view prisoner.
Judge Fleming gave him an addi-
tional sentence of five to ten years
to date from the expiration of his
original sentence.

DON’T MISS “SUNNY SIDE UP”
AT RICHELIEU NEXT WEEK
An entirely new Janet Gaynor and
Charles Farrell will be reveal-
ed at the Richelieu theatre Mon-
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs.
day of next week, when this fam-
ous pair of screen sweethearts make
their debut in “Sunny Side Up,”
Fox Movietown musical comedy.
Miss Gaynor, who reveals a voice
of rare charm, sings three songs, in-
cluding “If I Had a Talking Picture
of You,” the latter as a duet with
Charles Farrell.
Farrell, in the role of a society
man from Southampton, acquits
himself creditably in a light comedy
part and sings in a manner that
stamps him as a real find in the
talking picture musical comedy field.
DeSylva, Brown and Henderson,
long known for their musical come-
dy hits on Broadway, have contriv-
ed a story that holds interest from
the opening scene to the final fade-
2t out. The comedy is smart sophisti-
cated and of the sort that frequent-
ly sets ‘the audience off in sponta-
neous bursts of laughter. The dance
