CENTRE COUNTY GIRLS :
ROBBED OF SAVINGS.
Misses Olive and Florence Hoover,

| robbed of their entire savings, $150.-

|had saved up for the purpose of

The girls roomed on the ground

on Thursday evening, after they had

rant, they went for a motor ride
with a young man from J a
family friend. They left the - -
Renovo and return and were back
{at the restaurant at nine o'clock.
| Going to their room they at once
| discovered that some one had been
there during their absence and a
| search revealed the fact that the
pocketbooks of both young women
had been rifled of their monetary
contents. One of the pocketbooks
contained $150.00 and the other ten
‘cents. Nothing else was taken from
the pocketbooks but the money, and |
nothing else in the room was dis-
turbed.
| The robber gained entrance to the
room by removing three heavy iron
bars which had been fastened on the
outside of the window with wood
screws, hoisted the window and
climbed into the room. Lock Hav-

reason for his escape. He was sen-

of his minimum term to serve.
Seven weeks ago he was made a

Little Alberta Sager, small daugh-
ter of William Sager, local photogra-
pher, suffered severe scratches on
the back and neck last Saturday
afternoon when two of the natural
enemies spied each other and the
cat began a dash for the nearest
tree. No trees being available the
noble son of Felidae scampered up
the back of the little girl, digging
its claws into her back.
Even dogs have some sense of
surprise and the queer actions of the
less intelligent beast scared the dog
so badly that he made tracks for
home and so did little Miss Alberta.
However, Mr. Cat left his frightened
perch after the canine dissappeared
and Miss Sager arrived home badly
scratched and very much disturbed
after her queer experience. —John

—William Garman, who farms
the Paul Fishburn farm in College
township, is in the Centre County
hospital with a badly fractured low-
er jaw and other injuries the result
of a peculiar accident. He was
engaged in hauling in hay, on Sat-
urday afternoon, and was naturfily
anxious to get it all in the barn.
It was seven o'clock, or later, when
he pulled into the barn with the last
load. As his team was pulling the
load into the barn floor the double
tree broke, the horses naturally
plunged forward and Garman was
jerked from the load of hay, falling
on his face onto the barn floor.
While his injuries are painful and
serious his condition is not believed
critical.

It was then that Mrs. Staples prevailed
upon her father to leave Bellefonte and
