July 156th—One day, week before last, a little daughter of Mr. Bampsel, liv- ing a short distance west of Linden Hall, was killed by a kick from a horse. The girl, with other children, wus near some horses and innocently struck the animals with switches, and a kick upon the forehead of the Bamp- sel girl was the result, from the effects of which she soon died. The same little girl was almost drowned by fall- ing Into a well a stibrt time ago. David Dale, of the firm of Dale Brothers, proprietors of the woolen factory at Lemont, met with a terrible accident recently and which will prob- ably prove fatal. By the breaking of a board on which he was walking he was thrown into & vat of boiling hot coloring, and was terribly scalded up to his waist. The unfortunate man suffered intensely from his ipjaries, and it was reported lat last night that Lhe could not live, .

The jury list is ap- pended : the eighth inning of Fbursday’s game at the Lutheran Sunday-school picnic on Grange Park, Centre Hall triumph- ed over Spring Mills by the score of 12 to 11. This is the official score, notwithstanding the fact that Paul Bradford’s big hit in the last minoute of play scored three rune when the score stood a tie—11 to 11. Heavy hitting characterized Lhe game, each team pelting the ball to all corpers of the lot. Two home runs, several three-baggere, doubles, and enough singles to win several ordinary games, were produced during the two and a half hours of play. The hitting was about even, as were the errors, which were not far behind as to the number. It was the biggest swatfest of the season on the local grounds, and Corman for Spring Mills, and Brad- ford for the home team, went the en- tire route under the heavy fire. The situation that presented itself to Paul Bradford in the lset inniog of play was an even score—11 to 1l—and two of his teammates on second and An Incident of the Bixties Rrealled by Former '* Bisck Hawk ” Youth Grant C11y, Missouri, August 9, 1914 Dear Mr. Smith ; In a recent issue of the Reporter I saw an item which e'ated that Mre, Hannah Bmith had been taken to the Bellefonte hospital for treatment, Bhe is one among the very few survi- vors of those whom I knew In my early boyhood days.

He then suggested that I be tied and plac- ed on a cot on the flror until next morning sod then taken to Belle fonte. I surrendered unconditionally. I gave the name of every Indian. Mr, Smith then had me call the Indians who were lying along the fence and urge them to come in, It took some urging on my part, but finally they discarded their tomabawks, guns, scalping knives and war parapher- nslia and came into the house. To our utter surprise Mrs. Bmith had a treat for all of us in the way of apples, cider and cake, No one seemed to en- joy the event more than Mr. Bmith, The last time I saw Mr. Bmith was in 1886, when I was in Centre county on a vigit, I was on the train going to Bellefonte and he got on at Dale Bum- mit.
