——Saturday was a big day for
. .the foimal opening of the new flow-
er store of Halfmoon Gardens, in
“the Brachbill building, on High
Street. An idea of the crowd that
thronged the store, day and evening,
can be gathered from the fact that
close to twelve hundred flowers
were given away as souvenirs, Quite
a number of flowers as well as pot-
ted plants were also sold. The
Store, though small, has been fitted
up with flower cabinets and show
cases and presents avery attractive
and inviting appearance. In addi-
tion to flowers, canary birds and
gold fish are also on sale.
——Edward Beck, a fireman at
the American Lime and Stone com-

his injuries are not considered of a
eritical nature. Beck was on top
of 2 kiln feeding in wood to start
-a fire when in some way he made a
misstep and toppled off, falling
about twenty feet. He landed on
his head and face on a stone pile
and how he escaped as luckily as
he did is little short of miraculous.
As it was his face and head were
‘badly cut and bruised but no bones
broken.
——Rev. Wilson P. Ard, former
pastor of the Bellefonte Lutheran
church but now minister at the Mes-
siah Lutheran church, Denver, Col,

and Characteristics of Abraham Lin-
coln.” In speaking of the address the
Denver Post says: “In beauty of dic-
tion, flights of imagery and purity
of delivery Mr. Ard recalled the
golden age of oratory when Daniel
two more men drew heavy peniten-
'tiary sentences for pilfering the
feathered tribe. The first case was
against Andy Shoultis, of Snow Shoe
township, the prosecutor being John
Basalla. Shoultis was charged with
the theft of five chickens and the
Commonwealth was able to produce
sufficient evidence to warrant the
jury in bringing in a verdict of guil-
ty. Judge Fleming sentenced the de-
fendant to pay the costs of prosecu-
tion, one dollar fine and imprison-
ment in the western penitentiary for
not less than five years nor more than
ten, which is a minimum of a year
for each chicken taken.
Steve Beranty, also charged by
Basalla with stealing three chickens,
entered a plea of guilty after Shoul-
tis’ conviction, and was given from
three to ten years in the peniten-
tiary, $1.00 fine and costs.
Commonwealth vs. Yony Lingle
and Susan Lingle, indicted for as-
sault and battery. Prosecutor, El-
lery Wance. This case was from
Green Briar, in Penn township, and
was the result of a dispute over a
certain road. The jury returned a
verdict of not guilty and divided the
costs equally between the prosecutor
and defendants.
Harry Ramey, of Philipsburg, was
before the court on two indictments
for larceny. Norman A. Grauer was
the prosecutor in one case and Bar-
ney Finberg the other. In
cases the defendant waived the find-
ing of the grand jury and entered
pleas of guilty. He was sentenced
on both indictments to pay the costs.
one dollar fine and not less than
eighteen months nor more than three
years in the western penitentiary,
the sentences to run consecutively.
Commonwealth vs. George Schaick,
indicted for larceny. Prosecutor,
Paul Stover. This case dates back
to the deer hunting season in Decem-
ber. Both parties in interest were
hunters in the Seven mountains.
Stover claimed that the defendant
confiscated the carcas of a deer
which he had shot. A bullet found
in the carcas was one of the chief
exhibits in the case. A verdict of
of guilty was returned against the

Ralph Snyder, of Patton township,
was before the court on two indict-
ments charging violation of the Ii-
quor laws, chief of police A. E. You-
gel, of State College, being the pros-
ecutor. Snyder was charged with
selling to college students. In the
latter part of January he was taken
before the Federal court at Lewis-
burg, on a similar charge and being
convicted was sentenced by Judge
Johnson to sixty days in the Centre
county jail. He was convicted on
both indictments, last week, and
Judge Fleming imposed a sentence on
each one of payment of the costs, a
fine of $250 and not less than nine
months nor more than eighteen in the
Allegheny county work house, or a
total of eighteen months to thiee
years, the sentences to run consecu-
tively and to date from the expira-
tion of the Federal court sentence he
is now serving.

was that on the evening of January
9th the defendant had carelessly fir-
ed two loads from a shot gun, one of
the shots striking Zupko’s sister on
the right hand as she was sitting at
an open window listening to “Amos
and Andy” on the radio. The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty :

HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CLUB

i The presentation of “Spring Maid”
| by the glee club of the Bellefonte
| High school at the Richelieu theatre,
{last Thu:sday evening, was even
more pleasing than the advance no-
[tices gave promise of its being. A
| very large and unusually apprecia-
i tive audience greeted the young
i players and the show moved along
| without a hitch, notwithstanding the
‘hundred or more in the caste, many
| of them little folks in the first grades
i of the schools. :
| It was a pretentious undertaking.
| The score of “Spring Maid” is a dif-
ficult one to sing effectively, the dia-
logue is involved and clever acting is
necessary to convey the real theme.

reflects much credit on Mrs, A. M.

L MINSTREL SHOW
TO BE STAGED NEXT WEEK
“Cavalry Minstrel Flashes” will be
the vehicle that is expected to carry
the histrionic talent in, Troop L, 103rd
Cav., through two hours of fine
comedy and melody at the State
theatre next Thursday and Friday
nights. The show has been in re-
hearsal for several weeks and the
caste of over one hundred has been
selected specially for its singing,
dancing and comedy talent. :
- The show opens with a dear old
lady, Mrs. Harry Yeager, and an old
gentleman, Paul Dubbs, discussing
the changes that time has brought in
the way of entertainment. In a spir-
it of fun the old gent suggests that
they compare the difference. This is
the key of the whole first act, a de-
lightful contrast of old fashioned
minstrelsey and modern, Cyril
Moerschbacher as the old fashioned
minstrel and Earl Heverly as the
modern minstrel carry the theme
songs. Morton Smith as the cap-
tain of the “Mounties” enters, fol-
lowed by his “Mounties,” Sgt. Jim
Bower, Sgt. Phil Mignot, Sgt. Rex

gomery, Corp. Slim Lambert, Cecil

tin, Chas. Bullock, Alvin Pearson,
Gerald Little, Russel Aumon, Bill
Waite. Little Libby Montgomery as
the mascot of the “Mounties” ar-
rives bringing the valets (end men)
onto the scene. The ends are: Herb
Beezer, Buck Toner, Sam Confer,
Lefty Roberts, Norb Derstine, Heck
Beezer. A funnier sextette would be
hard to find as they keep the re-
hearsal hall in an uproar with their
clever -antics.
The second part of the show takes
on the form of a revue and is made
up of flashes of this and that. Open-
ing is a number of a spectacular na- |
, ture, “The evolution of the dance” in
which types of dancing extending
from a century ago up to the pres-
‘ent day jazz are presented.
Perhaps one of the funniest skits
ever presented on a local stage will
be one that sails under the title of
#22772" It's nature is kept a se-
cret and must be seento be appre- |
ciated. It has as its mémbers: Nell
Wolfe, Bernice Murphy, Chas. Bul-
lock, Morton Smith and Dr. R. P.
Noll.
Following will be the “Garden of
Dreams,” a comedy quartet and the
finale, which will be a roaring musi-
cal skit caled “the Bumville Recruit-
‘ing Station.” :
{All rehearsals of the show are be-
ing chaperoned by Mrs. Harry C.'°
Yeager and Mrs. Geo. A. Miller.
These ladies will also be in charge
back stage during the performances.
There will be a matinee for school
children at 3:30 Thursday afternoon.
The reserved seat sections will be
open for sale at the box office of the

OF AUTO WRECK INJURIES.
Carrol VonNeida, aged 57 years,

Union county, died at the Centre
County hospital at one o'clock on
Tuesday morning as the result of in-
juries sustained in an auto wreck
on Nittany mountain. about eleven
‘o'clock on Saturday night. State
highway patrolmen who investigated
the scene of the accident are at a
loss to figure out just how it might
have occurred. .
Mr. VonNeida was on his way
from Bellefonte to Centre Hall and
‘at the first right hand turn in the
‘road up the mountain, at the inter-
section of the Greensvalley road with
the State highway, Mr. VonNeida’s
car crashed head-on into a concrete
, culvert and was completely wrecked.
The roads were not icy or slippery,
there was no storm and no indica-
i tion that the driver had been drink-
/ing, according to highway patrol-
men.
| Passing motorists found the
wrecked car and injured man and
‘brought him to the Centre County
| hospital. There it was found that
he had sustained five broken ribs
‘and serious internal injuries. It
‘was the latter which caused his
‘death. The body was taken to

toona where he now has greater
| business interests than he has in
