THREE MUTOR ACCIDENTS
ONE MAN KILLED AND
DRIVER HELD FOR COURT.
Richard J. Matthews, aged about
fifty years, a well known floor con-
tractor of Altoona, died at the Cen-
tre County hospital, at 9:42 o'clock
on Monday morning, as the result
of injuries sustained in an auto ac-
cident on Nittany mountain about
6:30 o'clock on Sunday evening.
On Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs.
Matthews drove here to visit their
son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Thompson, who live in
Petriken hall. Late in the after-
noon they took a drive to the top
of Nittany mountain and returning
came to two cars wrecked at the
junction of the Greensvalley road
with the State highway. The cars
were a Lincoln owned and operated
by Reuben F. Welty, of Bellefonte,
and a Chrysler, the property of Rufus
B. Owens, of Lewistown. Mr. and
Mrs. Welty and S. D. Gettig Esq,
had driven up the mountain and
were in the act of turning into the
Greensvalley road when the rear end
of their car was hit by the Chrys-
ler coming down the mountain.
Both cars were considerably damag-
ed but no one was injured. With
Owens in his car was Floyd H.
Horner, of Pleasant Gap.
The accident happened shortly be-
fore five o'clock and naturally mo-
torists along the highway stopped
to render aid, among them Mr.
| Matthews and his party.
The State highway patrol was
notified of the first accident and
Sergt. A. G. Miller and patrolman
J. R. Turner went to the mountain
top to make the investigation.
Along in the neighborhocd of 6:30
o'clock a car was seen coming up
the mountain at high speed and be-
fore it reached the wreck it side-
swiped another car driven by Robert
Noll, of State College. This caused
the car to swerve and zigzag across
the road and patrolman Turner
called to the people standing around
to get out of the way. But they
did not have time and the oncoming
car crashed into the crowd, headon
against the wrecked Chrysler. Mat-
thews was caught between the two
cars and the upper portion of his
body pushed back on the hood of
the Chrysler car, Both Owens and
Horner were also hit and knocked
down. The car that hit the crowd
was a Ford coupe driven by Harry |
Ruhl, of Lewistown, formerly of
Bellefonte, who had his wife with
him. .
As soon as the Ruhl car stopped
the injured men were picked up and
rushed to the Centre County hospi-
tal. There it was found that both
of Matthews’ legs were broken
about midway between the knee and
ankle, his right arm fractured, head
injured and a number of bruises
and contusions. Owens and Horner
escaped without any broken bones
but both suffered head injuries and
cuts and bruises. Matthews re-
gained consciousness after reaching
the hospital and remained so up un-
til five minutes before he died.
An inquest was held at the Wid-
dowson funeral parlorsat ten o’clock
Monday night. Charles McClellan
and patrolman Turner told of the
accident and estimated that Ruhl
was driving - forty miles an hour.
They also stated that they smelled
liquor on his breath. Dr. R. T.
Noll also told of the accident and
that Ruhl was driving very fast and
did not seem to have control of his
car.
In his own defense Ruhl denied
that he had a drink of liquor, ad-
| mitted side-swiping the Noll car but
explained that incident by stating
that Noll was too far to his side
of the road, then contended that he
lost control of his car and when he /
attempted to step on the brake
lever his foot slipped and went onto.
the accelerator,
After viewing the body and ma-
ture deliberation the jury composed
of Nevin Sharer, Leonard Wentzel,
W. F. Clevenstine, W. D. Shaffer, |
E. C. Lutz and G. W. Smith re-
turned as their verdict that they
found Ruhl guilty of reckless and
negligent driving, which was the
verdict returned by Dr. W. R.
Heaton, coroner. Consequently Mr.
Ruhl will have to stand trial in the
Centre County court,
ACCIDENT SATURDAY NIGHT.
On Saturday night Ed

to Logan street when they crashed

ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN ACCIDENT.
Between nine and ten o'clock, on
Monday morning, Paul Winters, 21
years old, of Rebersburg, driver of
one of the State Highway trucks in
Bellefonte, was coming down the
Allegheny mountain when his truck
got away from him. He ran it
into the mountain at the upper side
of the road when the truck struck
an old snow plow, overturned and
rolled down the mountain carrying
the driver with it. He was brought
to the Centre County hospital where
his condition is not considered
serious.

tims are getting along as well as

ported for the benevolent institu-
tions. A splendid report on both
home and foreign missions was read
by Rev. R. D. Custer, of Mifflinburg.

DAIRYMEN’S LEAGUE WANTS
MILK SHIPPING STATION.
Every member but one was at the
regular meeting of borough council,
on Monday evening. C.F, Tate,
who has the contract for laying the
‘new water line from the borough
main, on east Bishop street, to the
new armory, was present and we-
‘quested a written permit to tap the
main. In this connection the Water
committee reported that a peculiar
situation has developed among wa-
ter users in that section. There is
846 feet of a private 4-inch line ex-
tending out the state highway from
the borough line, but the State is
opposed to tapping a private line
and residents in that section are
anxious to have it done as it will
give them fresher water. As an
‘inducement to make the tap on the
end of the line the owners have
agreed to give it - to the ' borough
but borough council is not sure they
can accept it. The matter
finally referred to the Water
mittee and borough solicitor.
The Street. committee reported
| various repairs and receipt of $75.00
for a sewer permit from C. G.
Decker for a new house he purposes
erecting on east Linn street.
The Water committee reported lay-
ying 125 feet of 1-inch water line on
Ridge street and repairing 6-inch
line in Claster’s lumber yard. Also
the collection of $825 on water
taxes,
The committee also reported that
the Dairyman’s League, which last
spring was anxious to locate a milk
' shipping station in Bellefonte,
later built a station at Mill Hall,
"but the managers are still desirous
of trying out Bellefonte as a shipping
| point. They have two service cars
‘equipped as a temporary station
| and want permission to locate them
lon the end of the spur running in-
to the Phoeinx mill, and also per-
‘mission to use the driveway around
{the mill. The matter was referred
‘to the committee for report at next
' meeting of council. j
i The Finance committee reported a
, balance in the borough fund of
i $2190.03 and the water fund $100.-
70. One note of $2500 was ordered
| paid, another for $800 will be paid on
! November 7th and notes for $4,000
| were renewed. A new note for
$1500 was authorized for the water
department.
The Fire and Police committee
asked about compensation for police-
man Howley, who was injured some
months ago when he attempted to
make an arrest, and secretary
Kelly stated that the papers had
never been properly made out be-
cause Mr. Howley had failed to give
him all the information needed.
The Sanitary committee presented
the report of health officer S. M.
Nissley which showed that there has
not been a case of contagious or
communicable disease in Bellefonte
during the past month, »
. Borough bills totalling $738.98 an
‘water bills $1376.65 were approved
for payment, after which council
adjourned.

YOUTHFUL HALLOWE’ENERS
DESTROY PROPERTY.
A number of farmers in the
neighborhood of Zion and Hecla
Park are seriously considering the
arrest of a number of young men
in that section who overstepped the
boundary line of good judgment in
their zeal for celebrating Hallowe'en
and perpetrated tricks that resulted
in considerable damage to the
property of a number of farmers.
In one instance a farmer's wagon
was transported some four miles
from home, torn apart and scatter-
ed to the four corners of a school
house yard. To gather the different
parts together and repair the broken
parts cost the farmer about $20.
Another farmer’s wagon was trans-
ported several miles from home and
partially dismantled, but so far as
‘could be learned, was not much
damaged.
Gates were removed and carried
away. Corn shocks were carried
from the field onto the state high-
way, torn apart and scattered broad-
cast. The young men who partici-
pated in the destructive sport are
known and the farmers whose prop-
erty was taken and damaged have
not yet fully decided what action to
take. The guilty young men might
save themselves a lot of trouble and
expense by at least paying for the
damage done.
In Bellefonte the smaller boys
carried away a few articles from
houses but in general Hallowe'en
was unusually quiet. There was very
little throwing of corn and not much
soaping of windows. A number of
boys and girls paraded the streets in
costume but as a general thing
they behaved very decently.
