“DEACON” HOY BADLY CUT
IN MOTOR ACCIDENT
Clarence “Deacon” Hoy, son of
John Hoy, of east High street, is in
the Centre County hospital with a
terribly cut up face as a result of his
crash into the wrecking truck of the
Decker Chevrolet Co. just north of
the Walker place on Snow Shoe
mountain, at an early hour last Sun-
day morning. The young man was
driving “Zeke” Hill's sports model
Star runabout and you ought to see
it.
About mid-night Saturday Harry
McClellan, supervisor of the Decker
Chevrolet Co., of this place was com-
ing in from Snow Shoe. Some dis-
tance on this side of the Beech Creek
trestle he came upon four men in a
Chrysler car who were in trouble but
he was unable to give the needed as-
sistance because of having no tools
with him. He came on into Belle-
fonte, however, and sent the Com-
pany’s wrecking truck to their res-
cue.
It was just 2 o’clock in the morn-
ing with the temperature 4 degrees
below zero when Boyd Krape, night
man at Decker’s, started on the cold
trip to the scene of the accident.
When he arrived just north of the |
Walker place he was stopped by Mr,
McClure, superintendent of the Snow
Shoe brick works, whose Cadillac
car was wrecked and partly across
the road. McClure had skidded
so that his right rear wheel had
struck a culvert and been smashed.
A Snow Shoe garage man was there
helping him but as he had no der-
rick on his service car they persuad-
ed Krape to stop and lift the Cadil-
lac around off the road. Boyd was in
the act of hooking on to the rear of
the Cadillac when they heard the
roar of an engine and saw the flash
of lights coming down the mountain
from the direction of Snow Shoe.
Immediately several of the men ran
up the road to signal the approach-
ing car, but the driver evidently
didn't see them, for he rushed on at
full speed and crashed into the Cad-
illac. The force of the impact threw
his car around against the heavy
service truck crumpling up its fend-
er. The left rear wheel and the
fenders of the Cadillac were also
smashed by the collision. The Star
car which Hoy was driving was al-
mest completely demolished and he
was so badly cut about the face
and head that blood was spurting in
every direction when he was taken
from the wreck.
About that time Cyrus Bailey ar.
rived on the scene, on his way to
Bellefonte, and he brought Hoy to
the hospital where it was found that
his most serious injuries were in the
mouth and on the face. Many
stitches were necessary to close up
his wounds.
It is said that Hoy and Hill, in the
latter's car were in Snow Shoe with
some girls when a disagreerient of
some sort occurred. In consequence
of it Hoy went out of the house and
took Hill's car and was on the road
to Bellefonte when the accident oc-
curred.
Krape then hooked onto the wreck-
ed Cadillac, towed it into Snow Shoe,
came back and fixed up the disabled
Chrysler and then returned to the
scene of the accident and brought
the wrecked Star car into Bellefonte.
He arrived here at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning.
A pretty thrilling and cold night's
work with the thermometer four de-
grees below zero.

NEW STATE HIGHWAY
WILL CUT DOWN MILEAGE
The new State highway on the
Lakes-to-Sea route between Philips-
burg and Sandy Ridge, once it is
built, will cut down the distance be-
tween those two towns in the neigh-
borhood of five miles. Most of the
road will run through a new section
entirely, necessitating the removal of
trees and a heavy growth of under-
brush. The road will follow almost
a direct line and will not go by way
of Osceola Mills, as does the pres-
ent road.
The contractor is D. L. Risser, of
Lebanon, and he started work this
week clearing off the right-of-way
for the new road, active work on
which will be begun early in the
spring.

——Robert G. Goheen has resign-

Eckley, who made the appraisement
last year, has been appointed in his
place. Mr. Goheen evidently found
the work too complicated and ardu-
ous for a man of his years and just
gave it up instead of worrying
through with it. Mr. Eckley, having
covered the county last year, will
be able to do the work more expert-

vantage as the season for: starting
is now some weeks late.
