VOL. XCIII. HALL, PA.. FARMER FALLS DEAD LEADING A HEIFER. Willlam Heckman, Aged 57 of Near Madisonburg, Along Highway. Years, Expires William Heckman, a farmer living a half mile below Madisonburg, met a sudden death Saturday morning. abeut eight o'clock, along the public highway a short distance from his home. He nad started a short time before for the home of a neighbor, Mr, Shaeffer, where he intended to deliver a recalcitrast heifer, he having first placed a heavy chain about the heifer’s neck. A little daughter of Mr. Shaeffer saw Mr. Heck- man fall and told her father of the oc- currence. A number of persons soon reached the unfortunate man's side and it was discovered that life was already extinct. The heifer stood in the road close to the body and showed an ugly mood upon being approached, which led to the supposition that the animal had given Mr. Heckman trouble and the over-exertion on his part had proved fa- tal. A physician stated that heart trou- ble was the cause of his death, Mr. Heckman was aged fifty-seven years and leaves a wife but no children. Three brothers and two sisters survive ; namely, Adam Heckmau, of Penns Cave ; Daniel and John, of Georges Valley ; Mrs. Thomas Decker, and Miss Alice Heckman, both of near Spring Mills. Funeral services were conducted at the home on Tuesday morning and bur- ial made in the Heckman cemetery near Penn Hall White Deer Chased by Dogs ; Dies from Exhaustion. Not within the memory of the oldest hunters of Snyder county had a white deer been slain in those mountains until one day last week when a beautiful and rare specimen of Albino deer became entangled in a barbed wire fence, ing to escape from some dogs running his herd in the mountains back of Trox- elville, perishing in his desperate efforts to regain freedom. The persuing dogs paid not the least attention to the white whose horns were locked in the wire of the tence but hotly followed along in the trail of the others of the herd. In his terrific efforts to wrench bigels free the young albino buck broke off one his horns and § probably died from ex- haustion. His dead body was found by Game Warden Barchus of Snyder coun- ty. The buck was snow white except fora brown mark in the of the fore- head. The body was later sent to the State museum at Harrisburg, where it will be mounted and placed beside that of another milk white deer, some years ago, segk- buck, of centre shot who wonld He had great ger hi 01 ¢ wo stopped city and as he st¢ wit } he mad riot of passing tm” h of au tomohiles and tl hare-brained n cycles a thought struck tween He raised up his volee and attracted a crowd. “Mi will wager 2100 that 1 ean cross this street blind huddered at the thought they remarked men knocked forty ways before he has gone The wagers were laid.

There were quite a number of rabbit stews in Centre Hall homes on Sunday, the reason being that the day before op- ened the rabbit season and hunters found the cottontails to be almost as numerous as fleas on a dog, quite in contrast to season of last year, Among the lucky hunters were Levi Hartley, the section boss, who without the aid of a dog shot the limit—ten bun- nies—before noon. Mr. Hartley killed most of the rabbits along the railroad right-of-way. Orvis Meyer was a close second with a string of nine cottontails, Calvin Meyer, two sons, and John Goodhart, of Spring MIills; shot thirty- four rabbits on Saturday, which was the biggest bag reported. H. J. Lambert, son Earl and Reuben Colyer strung up ten in a little over half a day. ‘Squire Cyrus Brungart bagged nine, Ed.
