Rine, one of the most wealthy citizens of Snyder county, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in his large store at McKees Half Falls Friday morning. His skull was gashed by a hatchet and his throat was cut from his chin to his ear when his daughter found his body in a pool of blood on the second floor of the store. State police investigated the case and agree that Rine's wounds of the skull were inflict- ed in the cellar of the store but that the throat cutting took place on the second floor, Coroner Herman's jury did not render a verdict that night but District At- torney Coryell scouts a suicide theory because he does not believe injuries to skull were self inflicted. An opened knifé identified as the property of the dead man was found beside his lifeless body. Both hatchet and knife will be tested as to finger prints. Investiga- tions found no other trace, The cash in the store and the post office funds and stock appeared to be intact, Rine had gone to the store alone be- fore daylight to make up an out going mail. The dead man was post-master of the village, a director of the Dal- matia State Bank, and owner of the hotel, store and also of the pretty home in the town besides all the farm prop- erty surrounding the hamlet, i —— Deaths of Centre Countians.

There seems to have been a very insid- ous propaganda carried on, obviously by secret agents of Germany, to the effect that savings banks deposits are to be confiscated. It is difficult believe that any person in America would cred- it such a report for an instant. Secre- tary McAdoo says that the absurdity of these statements is manifest, but in or. der to allay the fears of a few who might be alarmed by such reports, he repeats officially that these rumors are wholly baseless. There is but one thing that will in the least put in danger of confiscation the savings of the American people, whether deposited in saviogs banks, or other banks or invested in Liberty Bonds or any other investments, and that one think is a German victory, It is not the American Government that our people should fear, but the German Govern- ment, and with the American soldiers fighting as they are in France and the American people supporting their Gov- ernment 8s they are in America, the American people, their liberty, their rights, and their savings are sate, The United States instead of confisca- ting or endangering the savings and other property of its people is defending them and theirs with all the irresistible might of this invincible Republic. to R12, 1918.

A crowd of sang persons gathered at the golf links of the Clinton club, near Lock Haven, last Tonrsday to see Max Miller, the first viator to regularly carry mail between New York and Chicago, make a stop. He made a perfect landing about 11 o'- clock, and was cheered by the great throng who accorded him a warm rccep- tion. The reception committee was headed by Postmaster Paul O. Brosius and was composed of prominent Lock Haven residents, beside city and coun- ty officials, Miller had made one landing before reaching Lock Haven. He was forced to descend at at a point just outside of Danville, where he remained for a few minutes making a minor engine repair. From New York to Danville he made an uninterrupted flight. He left Belmont park, New York city at 7.09 o'clock, A second plane on the same route was ex- pected later in the day. When Miller arrived at Lock Haven he was served a lunch by the reception commitiee who had made extensive pre- parations to receive him, The airman remained only a short time. In less than an hour he had re- plenished his supply ot gasoline and was ready to resume his westward flight. His next scheduled landing was Cleve- land, At Lock Haven a small amount of mail was placed in the plane. It con- sisted for the most part of greetings from the postmaster and the mayor to the authorities of Chicago and other places where the airman had scheduled several thou 2 Country landings, / HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL INTEREST FROM ALL PARTS Day. rs MUST. egistration Patriots s only needed to make rey “ i vr a . a nent anc Fair a record 7ifty more prisoners were added to kview pen population last week, fve Pittsburs ame irom " r 4 ay DOW lurne cora. road road than ment's re Smithiss rp hanag ve ies in Mil ed two sons each for the service. are Mr. and Mrs. H.

Lee, to Cam in 0 uu Captain G. P. Runkle, a Bellefonte boy is facing daily peril to do his bit for Uncle Sam, visited his old home friends one day last week. Captain Runkle is in command of a large supply ship that conveys munitions and supplies of all sorts from the United States to the Al lies. He has made a number of trips that were attended with narrow escapes from being shelled by German sub marines. While crossing the Mediter; ranean one of these trips Captain Run. kle's ship was directly behind another that was hit by a torpedo from a subma- rine. On another occasion Captain Runkle's ship was so close to the point where a vessel had been torpedoed that he easily picked up the distress signal, In such cases ship commanders are not permitted to go to the assistance of the torpedoed vessel, that work being allot. ed to a certain class of boats and carry. ing out instructions Captamn Runkle lost no time in changiog the course of his ship and racing out of danger. Al- though he has been on the verge of at- tack on his ship various times, Captain Runkle remarked thus tar he had never got even a glimpse of the periscope of a German submarine. Because his work is considered so hazardous he receives a bonus from the United States govern. ment and another from France or Great Britain, according to which country he happens to deliver a cargo of supplies, in addition to his regular salary, who -
