GRANT HOOVER KILLLED
BY SHOT FROM OWN GUN.
No One Saw Shooting, but Believed
to be Accident.
Grant Hoover, a native of Centre
county but for a number of years a
resident of Williamsport, was shot
and instantly killed on his moun-
tain homestead, “Hi_Pines,” in Un-
ion township, about nine o’clock last
Thursday morning. No one saw the
shooting but there is every reason
to believe that it was entirely ac.
cidental. .
Mr, Hoover had been spending
some days at Hi_Pines and last
Thursday morning, in company with
his farmer, Roy Grossley, and an-
other young man, went out on the
hunt of groundhogs. The hunt was
along the backfield fence and Mr.
Hoover sent the young men on a
detour through a strip of woodland
while his course lay through a grass
field, the three men intending to
meet at the corner of a field along
the mountain.
Shortly after they had separated
Grossley and his companion heard
a shot from the direction Hoover
had taken and some fifteen minutes
later heard another shot. Naturally
they concluded that Hoover was
shooting at groundhogs. The two
men continued their hunt until they
arrived at the appointed meeting
place. Hoover was not there and
as it was then well on toward noon
the men concluded that he had ar.
rived first and not finding them had
gone home. They then returned to
the house only to find that Hoover
had not returned. No thought of
any accident had entered their
minds and as dinner was ready
they ate their meal ,and Hoover,
having not yet returned, they decid-
ed to investigate. Going to the
scene of their hunt they followed
his course and at a fence be.
tween two fields found his dead
body hanging on the fence and his
shot gun lying at his feet.
From all appearances Hoover had
stood his gun against the fence
while he investigated a freshly dug
groundhog burrow, which had an
opening on each side of the fence.
He then had evidently intended to
crawl over and when he
had climbed up reached down with
his left hand to get his gun. As he
attempted to pull it up the weapon
was discharged, the load of shot
entering his left groin and passing
up diagonally through his body
came out at the right breast. Death
was probably instantaneous.
Mr. Hoover was a son of Harvey
aud Mary Catlow Hoover and was
born in Union township on August
6th, 1865, hence was in his 65th
year. He was educated in the pub-
lic schools and at the age of six.
teen years went to McKean county
and spent eleven years in the lum-
bering business, Disposing of his
interests there he went to Buffalo,
N. Y. where he became a lumber
salesman but the work was not to
his liking and he came to Belle.
fonte and engaged in the insurance
and real estate business, He lived
here some ten or twelve years then
sold out and moved to Williamsport,
where he continued in the same line
of business until a few years ago.
Some years ago Mr. Hoover ac-
quired the old homestead, in Union
township, and also purchased consid.
erable mountain land adjoining on
which he experimented in tree
planting and forest conservation. In
fact he had planted more trees, and
more different varieties, on his land
than any other one man in the
State. During Pinchot’s term as
Governor he traveled all over the
State in the interest of forest con-
servation. :
On January 2nd, 1890, Mr. Hoover
married Miss Edith B. Moore, of
Milesburg, who died about ten years
later. In due time he married Miss
Anna Gray, of State College, who
survives with four children, George,
Harriet, Dorothy and Eugene, all at
home. He also leaves three brothers
and four sisters, G. P. Hoover, of
Altoona; Mrs. Sarah Esterline, of
Cleveland, Ohio; J, C.,, of Wilkins-
burg; Mrs. Mary Beatty, of Little
Rock, Ark.; Mrs. J. E. Daley, of
Williamsport; Richard, of TUnion-
ville, and Miss Martha, of Boston,
Mass.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church, at Unionville, at
2:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, by
Rev. H. M. Oakwood, burial being
made in the Bellefonte Union ceme-
tery.

JACK MILLER VICTIM OF
ACCIDENTAL GUNSHOT.
Jack Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George A. Miller, of north Spring
street, and a member of last week’s
graduating class at the Bellefonte
High school, was accidentally shot
in the right leg, on Monday after-
noon, by the carelessness of a ten
year old boy, Carl Cronemiller.
Jack had gone down onto the
rear of their lot to tear down an
old stable and the Cronemiller boy,
who lives next door, followed along.
The stable was infested with rats
and Jack took with him a .22 cali-
ber target rifle to shoot any rats
he might see. Two loads had been
shot out of the gun and Jack then
laid it on the ground and got to
work on the stable. He noticed the
Cronemiller boy at the gun and
cautioned him to keep away from
it. As there was no cartridge in
the weapon he did not watch it as
close as he might have done, and
naturally was startled when there
was a shot and he felt the bullet
pierce the back part of his right
leg, near the knee. The boy, it ap-
pears, had managed to put a car-
tridge in the gun and fired the shot
without regard to consequences.
Fortunately the leaden pellet did
not injure the knee joint, but at
this writing the bullet has not been
extracted.
THE ELKS ENTERTAIN
: 2000 HAPPY CHILDREN.
With each succeeding year Belle-
fonte lodge, B. P. O, E. seems to
become more popular with the chil.
dren of the community.
Yesterday was their ninth annual
“kiddies day picnic” at Hecla park
and the register on Wednesday
night warned those who had it in
charge to prepare for two thousand
guests, everyone of whom would be
looking for lots to eat and a
thousand and one things to do.
There were fifteen hundred reg-
istered from Bellefonte, while Cen.
tre Hall, Howard, Milesburg, Hecla
and Hublersburg supplied the other
five hundred.
The army of rampageous young.
sters were all transported to and
from the park without a mishap and |.
what a day! The weather was fine.
The mystery is where do the kids
come from? On the first picnic, nine
years ago, there were only 437 to
be found.
