WEWS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
— Centre county has ninety-nine
‘teachers in one room school houses.
Of these twenty-nine are men and
mine married women.
—— Tomorrow the Granger picnic
:at Centre Hall will open and Aug.
28 to Sept. 1 the Clearfield fair will
Je the nearby attraction.
——The annnual reunion of the
Mayes and Tate families will be
Theld, at Hecla park, Sunday, August
24. All relatives and friends of the
family are invited.
— Rev. P. N. Osborne, who has
been chaplain at Rockview peniten-
‘tiary the past several years, hasre-
signed and is now anxious to secure
a pastorate in the central part of
%he State.
: Last Friday S. J. McMullen,
of Millheim, loosened the radiator
cap on his big, five ton truck to
see if it was short of water, and as
‘the cap was removed a regular
geyser of steam and hot water shot
sout of the opening painfully scald-
ing him on face, neck and hands,
——The rain of Thursday of last
week which was the first of any
amount that had fallen since July
‘22nd did some good to the parched
gardens and fields, but it didn’t go
far. Friday morning we noticed
‘farmers plowing oats stubble and
«dust was rising out of the furrows
in clouds.
Members of Troop L, 103rad
«cavalry, of Bellefonte, are booked
%o take part in a horse show to be held
at the Driving park, Altoona, on Sat-
urday, September 13th, under the
auspices of the Phi Beta Psi sor.
wority, a charitable organization of
that city. The show will start at
1.30 p. m.
——Don’t overlook the fact that
#the big Clearfield county fair will
sopen on Thursday of next week and
:continue over Labor day. The com-
‘mittee in charge has arranged a
program that will please the most
exacting. If you are interested in
county fairs don't fail to go to
«Clearfield.
——The unusually cool weather of
“the past week has been a decided
contrast to that of the last week in
July and the first week in August,
But so far the much-needed rain has
mot fallen in sufficient quantity to
«do any good. But as the Granger’s
‘picnic will be held at Centre Hall
next week there is hope.
——According to announcement
‘that will be made next week Belle.
fonte is to have a commercial college
soon. Founders of the proposed in-
stitution are now here making ar-
rangements to open it this fall
‘We understand that it is sponsored
‘by very responsible and successful
educators in the commercial and
business fields.
——Miss Elizabeth Hunter, who
i'gince her graduation from the TUni-
versity of Syracuse, has been in-
sstructor of music in the schools of
‘Springfield, Pa. will resume her
work there this fall, with very sub-
stantial recognition of the satisfac-
itory work she has been doing, Miss
‘Hunter is a musician of decided abil-
‘ity, as was demonstrated by her solo
‘work in the musical program in
‘the last Sunday morning service of
“the Presbyterian church here.
Fire on Sunday completely de-
“Stroyed the tipple at the No. 11
_plant of the Moshannon Coal Mining
company, near Philipsburg, together
with all the machinery, entailing a
loss of $25,000. The loss was only
about one-third covered by insurance,
“The mine had been idle most of the
“Time since last March but plans were
“being made to resume operations in
“the near future. A new tipple will
be built at once. The origin of Sun-
day’s fire has not been determined.
——While work on the new mil-
itary reservation for Troop L has
been progressing satisfactorily it
“will be several weeks yet before the
stables will be completed and ready
“for occupancy. Water for both
‘the administration building and
-stables is to be piped from Belle-
fonte and it will take some time to
‘lay the pipe line and install a suction
pump and storage tank, so that it
will probably be October before the
“buildings will be ready for occupancy.
——Over one hundred years ago
#pne Casper Peters, an itinerant
preacher, traveled over Centre and
‘adjoining counties preaching pro-
hibition. He did not live to see
the fruition of his work but he
“has living a real grand-daughter in
“the person of Mrs, A. W. Reese,
~of Port Matlida who, with her daugh-
ters, who are great grand-daughters
«of Mr. Peters, have always been ac-
‘tive members of the W. C. T. U.
and hard workers in the cause ot
prohibition.
——Brookville, Pennsylvania, has
~just published a 20 page brochure
-exploitive of the town. It is a well
printed, attractive and interesting
publication. Brookville calls public
attention to her desirability as a resi-
dence and industrial location. Her fine
homes, business enterprises and love-
ly surrounding scenes are shown,
both by aerial and ground photo-
:graphs and the credit for the splen-
«did aerial results are given to our
“local out-door photographer, Wm. J.
Sager, who spent several days fly-
‘Ang over the place to secure them.
MEETING OF
' BOROUGH COUNCIL.
Monday night’s meeting of bor-
ough council was a rather brief and
uninteresting session. George J.
Weaver was present and asked that
something be done to put Burrows
street, from Ridge street east, in a
better condition for travel. Eleven
families live along the section of the
street referred to, In fact it is
really an alley. There are no pave-
ments and ‘the surface of the street
is yellow clay, with the result that
in wet weather people living there
have to tramp the mud. He also
complained of the lack of pavements
on Ridge street, from Burrows to
Howard. The matter was referred
to the Street committee for imme.
diate investigation.
Roy Bayletts, of Bellefonte, asked
council for a permit to start a san-
itary garbage collection route in
Bellefonte. His proposition is to
place twenty-gallon cans at the home
of each customer, the cans to be
emptied once a week in winter time
and twice a week during the sum-
vmaer, his charge to be 25 cents a
week. He admitted, however, that
he had not yet made any arrange-
ments for a dump or disposal
ground, and was informed that if
he could secure the necessary grounds
and comes back to council a permit
will be granted.
Secetary Kelly read a telegram
from Governor Fisher expressing ap-
preciation of the offer of Burgess
Hard P. Harris of water from the
Bellefonte spring to any community
needing it. :
The Street committee reported
that Burnside street has been open-
ed, .graded, stoned and oiled. Also
oiling a number of other streets and
alleys and that work has been start-
ed on the sewer on east Linn street,
Report was aiso made of the collec-
tion of $120 for sewer permits, all
of them being at properties on Pine
street, which will do away with four
cess pools in that locality.
The Water committee reported in-
stalling a new meter for the Penn-
sylvania Railroad company and the
collection of $200 on 1929 and 1930
water taxes which had been turned
over to the borough treasurer and
$625.00 additional on taxes and
$37.50 on garage rent for which the
collector’s checks were presented.
The Finance committee reported
an overdraft in the water fund of
$37.08 and a balance in the bor.
ouh fund of $568.20. One note for
$1000 was renewed and a new
note for $1000 in the borough fund
and one for $1500 in the water funa
authorized to meet current bills.
The Water committee presented
the plans and specifications for the
water supply pipe line from the big
spring ‘to Gamble’s mill and the
work of the committee was approv-
ed and a motion passed that work
on the laying of the pipe be started
as soon as possible.
Borough bills totaling $803.64 and
water bills $1724.20 were approved
for payment after which council ad-
journed.
SCREEN DOORS NO BAR
TO STATE DOG CATCHER
Edward J. Gehret, of Bellefonte, is
under $100 bond for his appearance
at the September term of court to
‘answer to the charge of harboring
a female dog on which there was no
license tag . at the exact time the
State dog catcher took a peek at her
through a screen door, And Gehret
denies ownership of the dog; and al-
so alleges that the dog in question
was never outside of ‘the house
minus a collar and tag.
Along in the latter part of July,
when E. M. Isenberg was in Belle-
fonte seeing ‘that the dog law is
being rigidly enforced, he visited the
Gehret home. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Gehret were away from honte but
Jimmie Foreman was in the kitchen,
with the screen door locked, playing
with Mrs. Gehret’s pug dog. Because
of the heat the dog’s collar, on
which was the legal ‘tag, had been
removed while she was indoors, and
peeking through the screen door
Isenberg noted this fact. He prompt-
ly left a summons with the boy for
Mr. Gehret to appear before Squire
Tressell and settle, Mr. Gehret did
not appear until last Friday when he
refused to pay the costs and fine and
gave bail for his appearance in court.
BELLEFONTE ON BUS LINE
TO NEW YORK CITY,
Bellefonte® is to be a station ona
new bus route to be operated by a
subsidiary of the Edwards Motor
Transit company, of DuBois, be-
tween Sharon and New York city.

Sunbury, Milton, Williamsport, Belle-
fonte, Philipsburg, DuBois, Oil City,

ning.
TWO YOUNG MEN ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF LARCENY.
Two Bellefonte young men, Alli-
son Charles and Harold Leathers,
were arrested, on Monday, by sheriff
Harry E. Dunlap and chief of police
Harry Dukeman on the charge of
stealing gas and tires from Belle-
fonte garages. Later they both sign-
ed confessions of guilt. At a hear-
ing before justice of the peace John
M. Keichline, Tuesday afternoon, they
were each held in $1000 bail for
trial at court.
ROBBERS LOOT HOME
GET WOMAN'’S SILK UNDIES.
A female burglar is believed to
be abroad in Bellefonte. Between
the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock, Sat-
urday night, some person or persons
broke into the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Brachbill, on Pine street,
ransacked the house and carried off
every article of silk underwear
owned by Mrs. Brachbill, all the’
table silver and a wrist watch val-
ued at $37.50. The robbers missed
three diamond rings which were in
a jewel box in one of the ransacked
bureau drawers, The value of the
stuff stolen is estimated at from
$150 to $200.
The belief that a woman was a
party to the robbery was emphasized
by the fact that a perfumed cigar-
ette, the special brand of the female
smoker, was found inside of the
house. The Brachbills occupy _one
side of the George Sunday house.
Mr. Brachbill was at work in the
store and Mrs. Brachbill and chil-
dren were down town. The robbers
gained an entrance through the
kitchen window, the latch on which
is imperfect. From the way drawers
had been rifled of their contents and
furniture displaced they took their
time in doing the job, But why they
made a clean-up on the silk undies
is the puzzling question.
ROCKVIEW FUGITIVE
RECAPTURED LAST WEEK.
On Tuesday of last week a man
who gave his name as Glen Burt
was arrested at Linwood, Delaware
county, on the charge of forgery.
A magistrate sent him to the Dela-
ware county jail and when his finger
prints were taken they were found
to be identical with those of George '
Dailey, who escaped from Rockview
penitentiary on July 14th. Officials
at Rockview were notified and an
officer went to Delaware
identified Dailey and brought him
back to Centre county, landing him
in the Centre county jail about six
o'clock on Saturday morning. Just
five hours later he was taken be-
fore Judge Fleming and sentenced
to not less than three nor more
than ten years in the western peni-
tentiary, Dailey had been sent uu
county, '
ZION CALITHUMPIANS
I HAD A BAD NIGHT.
lA party of nine young folks from
-Zion fell into the hands ofa hard-
‘hearted patrolman, near the ola
aviation field, Tuesday night of last
week, had the truck in which they
were riding confiscated and then had
to walk the five miles back to their
homes.
That morning Joel Clevenstine and
‘Mary Hockman, a daughter of Mr.
‘and Mrs. Clyde Hockman, had been
‘married in Cumberland, Md, When
they returned home the news of
their wedding spread fast and a
group of their young friends gather-
ed to calithump them. There wasa
great din and a grand time. Then
someone suggested that they kid-
nap the bride and groom and take
them for “a ride.” Blaine Sampsel
borrowed his father’s truck, Mr. and
Mrs. Clevenstine were captured and
four boys and three girls landed
them on it. With lights aglow and
an old wood-saw to be pounded they
headed for Bellefonte.
| Reaching here they made the
round of the streets, doing no harm
to anybody but having a lot of fun,
,and headed homeward. Just when
they were beyond the borough limits
a highway patrolman ended the
merriment.
{| The lights on the truck had gone
out and they were in the arms of
ithe law. The officer made the entire
‘party drive back to Hill’s garage on
east Bishop street. There he locked
| the truck up, walked away and left
the party stranded five miles from
“home. At 10:30 at night there are
not many people about to argue with
80 the bride and groom and their
seven friends started the walk to
Zion.
Just a week later, last Tuesday,
Blaine Sampsell was called before
'Sauire Tressel and fined $13.90 for
driving a car without lights,
| It seems like pretty harsh treat-
ment. The officer might have given
them a chance to have their lights
fixed and locking up the truck and
making Sampsell pay for a night's
storage for it appears to need some
explanation.
CLEVELAND MOTORISTS
RUN OFF MILESBURG BRIDGE.
Two motorists from Cleveland,
' Ohio, had a thrilling experience when
from Cambria county for three to:
ten years for breaking and enter-
ing, laceny and receiving stolen
goods,
William B. Addleman, a Clearfield
county inmate who escaped from
the psychopathic ward. at Rock-
view, on August 6th, was captured
at Clearfield on Monday afternoon of
last week. Being deemed irrespon-
sible for his act he was returned to
the psychopathic ward at Rockview.

RINGNECK PHEASANT
FROM COLUMBIA COUNTY.
A
Records of the State Game Com-
mission show that, contrary to popu- 2
lar belief, ringnecked pheasants do
not always stay close to the place
where they were released.
‘Recently an official at Rockview
penitentiary reported the findihg of
a dead pheasant, which apparently
had killed itself by striking a sus-
pended water pipe line. On its leg
was a band bearing the number
24553. : :
C. A. Hiller, in charge of propa-
gation, in checking the Commis-
sion’s records, found that the bird
had been released in Columbia coun-
ty after the close of the 1925 sea-
son. At that time it was one year
old.
Officials of the Commission also
cite such instances to show the
ability of some wild animals and
birds to escape the army of hunters
which seek them annually.

they were riding ran off the tem-
porary bridge over Bald Eagle creek.
at Milesburg, Tuesday afternoon.
| They are Messrs. McKinna ana
Long and were on their way from
Tyrone to Williamsport. Evidently
they didn’t notice the temporary
bridge detour until too late and
{then in attempting to make the'turn
linto it they struck the iron safety
| guard on the lower side. The car
i rebounded from it, broke through
the railing on the upper side, teeter-
ied there a moment and then fell ten
1feet to the bed of the stream. It
landed on its side and top and neither
| occupant was thrown out. One of
| them was able to release himself.
| The other was taken from the wreck
.by John Wetzler who had witnessed
the accident and immediately plung-
ed into the stream to their rescue.
Neither of the men was badly
hurt. In fact both were able to go
back to Tyrone, where they had
been visiting.
Paul Houser, of Lemont, salvaged
their car for them.

their many friends, before they all re-
turn home in September. Mrs. Morris

—Ralph Musser is here from Lewis-
burg, W. Va., for a visit of several weeks
with relatives and friends in Centre
county. At present he is at the Harry
Shivery home on Wilowbank street.
For several years Mr. Musser had been
located at Thomasville, Ga., where he
was artificially propagating quail for
the immense Hanna preserve in that sec-
tion. Talking with him concerning his
work we learned much about the habits
of the Bob White and one of his most
interesting revelations was the fact that
the cock bird will take a brood hatched by
a bantam and mother it just like a
female would. Another was his discov-
ery that quail, in their natural habitat,
will break away from original coveys
and migrate great distances evidently to
combat the weakening of their strain by
too constant in-breeding.
—— Trying out a new saddle
horse last Sunday morning Mrs.
Arthur C.Dale was thrown and bad-
ly cut about the head and face. In
company of her husband and her
father she was trying the horse, It
had never been ridden by a woman
and as it had been in races it evi-
dently undertook to show Mrs. Dale
that it could beat the mounts of her
companions. Dashing away from
them it became unmanageable and
she was unseated. In the fall she
was cut enough to require the at-
tention of a physician, but not se-
riously injured.
