Henry Sowers, with his wife and sour children, who came to Belle- fonte bag and baggage from Pros- certown, on April 1st, expecting to nd an abiding place here, were sznt to State College, on Friday evening, by the overseers of the poor of Bellefonte, because that tywn is their last legal place of residence. According to reports the Sowers family moved to Prossertown from the College a little over a month ago. They were there only about three weeks when the owner of the property they occupied notified them they would have to leave. A Belle- fonte woman interested in securing a home for them made arrange- ments for them to occupy a small house on the alley in the rear of Stempfly’s furniture store. The house in question is occupied by A. Cupp and when the Sowers family reached there on April 1st Cupp refused to leave and barricaded the doors against all comers. The Sowers furniture was piled in tke alley and for several days the family lived as best they could, sev- eral people in that locality giving them shelter at night, On Friday juvenile court officer, Rev. W. C. Thompson, swore out an order of relief for the family and on Friday evening, after thoroughly investigat- ing the case and learning that the family were legally charges of State College, they were all loaded in a taxi and sent to the College, where the overseers took them in charge. On Saturday a truck from the Col- lege came to Bellefonte and got the family furniture. Sowers is an old man and his present wife is his third matrimonial venture. All told he has been the father of nineteen children but most of them are dead. TWO MEN INJURED BY PREMATURE EXPLOSION. Two men are in the Centre Coun- ty hospital with serious injuries as the result of a premature explosion, at State College, on Tuesday. They are: Clarence Weaver, aged 53 years, left eye removed, several lacerations of the head and face and contusions of body. ‘John Cook, of Broad Top, Hunting-. don county, 55 years old, left arm broken, lacerations of head and face and body contusions. ‘The men were engaged in digging a cesspool near the new power house and at a depth of fifteen feet were using dynamite to break up the rock. One charge had been put off and another one made ready. A battery was being used to ex- plode the charge, and after the first charge was put off the man in charge of the battery forgot to open the switch with the result that when the wires were connected for the second charge the dynamite was ex- ploded prematurely with the above result.
