COLONIAL RESTAURANT
PASSES INTO NEW HANDS
At noon on Thursday last the
Colonial, the oldest and one of the
best eating places in Bellefonte, pass-
ed into new ownership. Over half a
century ago the late John Anderson
established it and though it has
passed through many hands since it
has always supplied a needed want

Its latest owner was J. H. Bickett,
who has gone to Snow Shoe to live,
Mr. and Mrs. M. ‘P. Brooks, of
Pleasant Gap, are now in complete
possession. They have bought the
bisiness and all the fixtures and
have started in with the idea of
possible.
In other words, it is their aim to
make the Colonial better than it
kas ever been. It will be open from
5:30 A. M. until 12 midnight each
day and if it is a meal or merely a
lunch or light refreshment you want
the new proprietors invite you to
try it.

lowest bid. When seen in regard

still left a wide discrepancy his bid |
was eliminated.

ROBBED TUESDAY NIGHT
The “Big Trout” Inn, located on
south Water street, owned and con-
ducted by Mrs. Marian McAlarney,
was burglarized on Tuesday night,
or rather on Wednesday morning,
as the robbery took place some time
between two o'clock and daybreak.
Entrance was made by breaking the
window in the south end of the
building and there evidently were
two or more in the party. Most of
the eatables in the place were either
eaten, carried away or destroyed.
The robbers also stole two clocks,
two cartons of cigarettes, two box-
es of cigars and various other things.
Mrs. McAlarney estimates her loss
at $75.00. Whoever did the job left
some very good fingerprints and
state police are at work tracing the
culprits.
