It is estimated that 80.000 ballots will
be required for the Sept. 20th election
in Centre county, which is many thous-
of the requirements
any previous election. The great num-
ber necessary is due to the women vot.

will be held the same day to elect a
Congressman-at-Large and also to de-
cide whether or not a Constitutional
Convention shall be held in 1922.

Murder Trial at September Term of
Court.
For the first ime in many years the
Centre County court will have a murder
trial at the September Term. The
charge is against Frank Benedict, who
has been held in the county jail without
bail since the death, June 25, of Ray-
mond Shaw. a young married man of
near Philipsburg. As will be recalled
by our readers, Shaw and Benedict
quarrelled in front of a Philipsburg
hotel and the latter shot him, the result
being that Shaw died in the Cottage
State bospital the following morning.
Benedict is charged with murder and
bas admitted he fired the shot which
killed Shaw. However, he claims the
shot was fired to protect himself from
possible harm, :
The September Term of Court will be
gin Monday, Sept. 26, with Judge
Henry C. Quigley, presiding. It
promises to be an unusually interesting
term,
Some other cases scheduled for trial
are :
William Austin and Sylvester Jones,
of Philipsburg, charged with pointing
and wantonly discharging a pistol.
John V. Matia, of Spring Twp.,
