SOMMERVILLE.—Miss Bessie La-
ing Sommerville passed away at the
family home in Winburne, last Sat-
urday morning. She had been in poor
health for a year or more and for
some days prior to her death had
been in a semi-conscious condition,
so that her passing away was not
unexpected.
' She was a daughter of James L.
and Jane Harris Sommerville and
was born in Bellefonte. She grew to
$1.50 Womanhood here and was educated
at the private schools of Miss Petri-
kin and Miss Claire, followed by a
course at the Bellefonte Academy.
The Sommerville family left Belle-
fonte about the year 1889 and located
in Snow Shoe, where Mr. Sommer-
(ville had valuable coal interests, but
after a brief residence there moved
to Winburne, where the family home
has been ever since.
Miss Sommerville was a member
of the Presbyterian church all her
life and for twenty years had been
president of the Woman's Missionary
society. The fact that she held the
office for such a long term of years
was evidence of her interest in the
work. Her work in the church, in the
cause of missions and various chari-
table organizations exemplified an
ideal christian character which en-
deared her to a large circle of ad-
miring friends.
She is survived by one sister, Miss

SPEED DEMONS ALL SET
FOR THE ALTOONA RACES.
When the starter’s flag drops
on the Altoona speedway on the
Fourth of July a great field of the
‘world’s most famous racing motor
drivers will be off for the national
championship trophy.
Millers and Duesenbergs may set
the pace and may have carried the
greatest drivers the auto racing
game has ever known to many im-
portant records, but there is on. lad
in this fraternity of speed who has
proved that he can tool a not-so-ex-
pensive automobile and hold his
own with the blue-bloods.
He is Gene Haustein, the middle-
west jockey, who last winter built!
himself a sixteen valve Fronty, took
it to Indianapolis for the Grand
| Prize “500” and raced in the money
until tough luck forced him from
the running with a broken wheel.
He qualified at Indianapolis with
many of the leaders when rumors
made it certain that he wouldn't
have a chance to run the “500".
But his mount had more stuff than
the best of the wise-acres realized
‘and he not only qualified, but ran in
‘the money until that broken wheel
forced him out of the running.
For the first time in his career
Haustein plans this season to make
a strong bid for honors on America’s
banked speedways and is choosing
the world's fastest speedway July
4 for one of the most important
links in that campaign.
Judging from the thrilling show |
|he staged on the spectacular half-
mile board speedway at Woodbridge,
'N. J., several weeks ago, Haustein
should carve a name for himself in
the speedway annals with his “heavy
foot” and pet motor creation.
TWO NEGRO MURDERERS
| Two negro youths of Allegheny
county, convicted of the murder of
August F. Braum, burgess of West
Elizabeth, were electrocuted at Rock-
view penitentiary, on Monday morn-
ing. They were Cleo Peterson, 23
years of age, and Clarence Williams,
120 years old. Peterson was the first
to goand it was just twelve minutes
from the time he was placed in the
‘chair until Williams, the second man,
‘was pronounced dead. The bodies
were not claimed and were buried
in the penitentiary cemetery.
The murder of burgess Braum
took place during an alleged at-
tempted holdup in his meat market
on October 4th, 1930. The above
two youths, accompanied by Robert
Smith, another young negro, invaded
,Braum’s meat market for the alleg-
ed purpose of robbery. Braum hurled
a cleaver at the trio, Peterson and
Smith took to their heels but Wil-
liams drew a gun and shot Braum
dead in his tracks. The three men
were captured within ten days, were
tried together in February, convicted
as indicted, with the death pen-
alty recommended. Smith died in
'jail before sentence was pronounced.
From the time Peterson and Wil-
liams were brought to the death
‘house, Saturday afternoon, until
taken to the chair they made no
statement either admitting or deny-
ing their guilt.
