DROVE OFF WITH WRONG HORSE Held For Court on Charge to Which He Makes Positive Denial of Guilt «~Hearing Before Squire Brown on Monday Afternoon. On Saturday night Jerry Sauers, of State College, was arrested by Po- liceman Knisely, at the home of James R. Irvin, near Peru, on a charge of having taken a horse which did not belong to him, the same afternoon, from the Haag House stable in Belle- fonte. At a hearing before Squire Brown on Monday afternoon Mr. Sauers was placed under a $400 ball bond for his appearance at the next term of court, The horse in question is owned by B. F. Burd of Mill Hall, who in company with a Mr. Shaffer drove from that town to Bellefonte on Monday of last week to be em- ployed on the new penitentiary site at Peru. They put up at the Haag House, and on Thursday went to Peru, leaving their horse at the ho- tel stable in charge of James Mat- thews, the colored hostler. Along about 5 o'clock on Saturday after- noon the hostler informed Henry Kline, proprietor of the hotel that, Jerry Sauers who had been there the day before, had taken the horse from the barn and ridden away with it After ascertaining that Sauers had no permission to do so, Mr. Kline had a warrant sworn out for his arrest, and Officer Knisely was sent after him. Mr. Sauers, as stated mbove was found at the home of Mr. Irvin where he had stopped on account of feeling ill. He had telephoned to Dr Glenn at State College, and while the officer was at the house, Dr. Glenn called and prescribed for Sauers. He was then brought to Bellefonte jail and the horse returned to the Haag House barn. At the hearing on Monday Mr, Sau- ers was represented by*® Attorney Keichline, while District Attorney Fortney conducted the prosecution Mr. Sauers, in his own defense claim- ed that he had traded horses with a man whom he did not know, who told him his horse was in the Haag House barn. Mr. Sauers’ testimony in brief was to the effect that he came to Bellefonte from State College on Fri- day and had traded a watch to Wil- liam Lesh for a horse. He got tg drinking pretty freely and while in Blackford's restaurant Friday night he met a stranger who proposed that they trade horses to which he agreed. He did not know the name of the with whom he wax talking, but was told by him that he would find the animal for which he had traded at the Haag House barn. When he left the restaurant he found that his own horse, which he had tied outside, was gone, and he supposed the stranger | had taken It away. He slept that night in the Haag House barn and the next day kept up the booze stunt Shortly after 4 o'clock be went 1p the barn, put a rope on the horse he sup- posed was his by reason of the trade and rode it away, Intending to go home. Passing Mallory's blacksmith shop he asked the men there if they knew who had owned the horse, re- ceiving a reply that they did not. He | then met a farmer in a buggy with whom he asked to ride. Near Peru he became sick and stopped along the road. tied his horse and went into the house of James Irvin to telephone for a doctor. Here he remained until the arrival of the officer from Belle. fonte. Mr. Sauers positively denles that he Intended to steal the horse, | and asserts that he thought it was | the one he had traded for Harry | Haag, who resides near the hotel, tes. | tified that he saw Bauers riding the | horse away from the barn, and did | not notice any undue haste in the act | Without attempting judgment of Mr. Sauers' case it js sufficient to say | that the incident has gotten him in- to a peck of trouble which is very un- fortunate if he is innocent. { who | make i ford | cel | plant | business LCNG DISTANCE HIKERS, in Bellefonte While on Walk Across Continent. Three young men who are attempt- ing to walk from Newport, Rhode Is- land, to San Francisco, California, a distance of approximately 3,600 miles, were over-night visitors in Bellefonte last Thursday. They were Sergt. Karl Rittmah, of the 8th Rhode Island Ar- tillery Corps; Sergt. Louis A. Mohr, of the 108th Coast Artillery Corps, and Charles F. Saunders, a young Al- bany, N. Y. attorney. While here the boys pald their respects to the Centre Democrat and explained their object in undertaking such an unu- sual feat as a coast-to-coast hike. The boys arrived here on Thursday evening from Milroy, after traveling over the mountain from Centre Hall where they made a short stop. Mr. Mohr, who is a native of Oil City, Pa., informed a reporter of this paper that the idea for the tour originated with him, while he was stationed at Fort Greble, Rhode Is- land. He stated that the general public has a misconstrued conception of the United States Army, and It is to correct such impressions that he resigned from the army, secured two congenial companions and started to walk across the continent and give illustrated lectures upon the life of the American soldier. Although the primary object of the hike is to stir up interest in the army, the journey is not being made under the auspices of the government. The men are dressed in Kahki uniforms, Carry a regular army equipment, and are de- fraying their expenses by giving lec- tures in Y. M. C. A's and armories, and selling post-cards. Mr Mohr stated that they traveled better by observing army regulations, hence they cook their own food en route and sleep in a small shelter While traveling they walk fifty utes and rest ten of each hour started from Newport, R. L. June 15th, but were not able to state when they would end thelr Journey.

THE FOUNDRY TO REMAIN, Present Managers of Bellefonte En- gineering Co. to Locate at Bradford. For several days past rumors have been afloat to the effect that the plant of the Bellefonte Engineering Com- pany was to be moved away from Bellefonte and located elsewhere. We are glad to say that this is not true, in so far the plant is concerned, as it will continue here, but the mem- bers of the present firm have recelv- ed an excellent offer from a firm in Bradford which they feel. in Justice to themselves, they must accept. The present plant at this place “as been In operation about six months under the management of CC. A. Rob- erts and Victor E.

While in Brad- on July 31st, Mr. Roberts re- ved a very flattering offer from Mr. Blaisdell, which included Mr. Rehr, which would practically give them charge of Mr. Blaisdell's plant. The latter has been in business for many vears and desires to retire and shift the burden of responsibility to young- er shoulders. It was an opportunity that Mesgrs. Roberts and Rehr felt that they could not allow to pass by. They decided to accept the offer and Mr. Roberts left last week for Bradford to take up his duties. Mr Rehr however will remain in Belle- fonte and continue to operate the here until he can transfer the interests of the present firm to new management. Mr. Rehr says that by no means will the plant be closed down here. They are doing a nice which is Increasing every as trade men have from pany | day Carried Smallpox to Clinton Co.

Veteran Club to Meet Sept. 16. At a meeting of ths executive com- mittee of the Veteran Club of Cen- tre County, held in the office of Bquire Musser on Saturday, it was decided to hold the next reunion at Grange Park, Centre Hall, on Tuesday, Sept. 16, of plenie week.

Ar stated in last week's Issue of this paper, James Heaton and Jack Thorpe, two farmers residing on ad- joining farms at Marsh Creek. had lost their neighborly feeling for each other over the fact that Mr. Heaton's Cows had trespassed upon Mr. Thorpe's premises and the latter had locked the offenders in his barn. The following night the cows secured their liberty and Mr. Thorpe had their own- er arrested for breaking down his barn door. The case came hefore Squire Musser on Friday morning, and resulted In no admission upon the part of Mr. Meaton that he fore- ibly opened the barn and liberated his cattle. His repeated assertion that “he went down and drove the cattle home,” was a little exasperating to the Squire, but there was nothing to do but accept the statement as It was made. The Bquire disposed of the case by placing the costs, amounting to $7.70, on the defendant. , Charged With Manslaughter, On Tuesday, July 29th, Anna Duke, age 10 years and her brother, John Duke, age 8, children of John Duke, 8r., were shot by John Masarish at a wedding celebration at Clarence The eirl died but the boy will recover Masarish was arrested the same day and lodged in the Centre county jail, but was later turned out on ball About two weeks ago, he was re.ar- rested and Inst Thursday was given a hearing before Judge Orvis on a writ of habeus corpus.

Dr. Reiley, of Clearfield, Has Thrill. ing Experience Near State College. While on a visit to Centre county iast Wednesday night to visit a pa- tient, Dr. W. E. Reiley the well known Clearfield physician, had a thrilling experience near State Col- lege. Dr. Relley left Clearfield at 6:30 p. m. Wednesday and reached Storms- town without trouble of any kind He was driving his Regnl car and was alone on the trip. At Stormstown he visited a patient and then proceeded on his journey, all going well until he had nearly reached his destina- tion. Suddenly lie noticed that the valve that controls the flow of gaso- line from the tank was leaking and hastily left the car to extinguish the rear light. To do so he was obliged to open the cade and no sooner had he done so than there was an explo- gion which carried the flames to the of the car. Dr. Relley was quick enough to get out of the way and himself escaped uninjured. He beat out the fire with a heavy coat, but not until the top and one cushion had been consumed and a large hole burned in the tire, Residents at a nearby house were awakened by the explosion and came to the scene. He left his tool case and other removable articles in their care and picking up his suit case, used the means of locomotion na- ture has provided for the remainder of the way to State College. The car was taken to a local garage and was put in running order, minus the top. Dr. Reiley arrived in Clearfield at 1:30 Thursday morning, relieving the anxiety of his mother, Mrs. W. McK. Relley, and other home friends who were awaiting his return. Dr. Reil- ey has meny warm friends through out Centre Co. who will congratulate him on his escape from death or ser. fous Injury. top Grangers' Picnic at Williams’ Grove.

SHOULD BE CAREFULLY STUDIED Explains How All Township Roads Will Come Under Control of State Highway Department—Furnished by Howard Correspondent. (The following article, written by our Howard correspondent, on the new Act of Assembly governing township roads, has been set apart from the Howard letter in order to give it more prominence for the Information It contains.) Within the past three weeks I have been many times asked “Is it true that all township roads are now under con- trol of the State Highway Depart- ment? 1 am now in a position to answer that it will be true after Sep tember 22, 1913. The act of July 22, 1913, provides that Within sixty days after the ap- proval ofthis act, the State Com- missioner shall establish a Bureau ul Township Highways, which shall be in general charge of one the Deputy Highway Commis- Moners 0 be designated by the State Highway Commission After providing for the staff sistants, including “clerks, and employees that may be to carry out the provisions acl” all of whom shall be by the State Highway Commissioner, the act further provides that this Deputy Highway Commissioner shall charge of all and bridges which improved main- or in part, by the moneys, excepling State and State. highways oth erwise provided for Prescribe rules and regulations, not Inconsist- ent with law, fixing the duties of township officers In respect to all highways and bridges under the Jurisdiction.

Therefore “all highways and bridges * constructed improved or * part by the and are State “a Bu- provision made have the high district that the township are maintained, in * aid of State moneys the jurisdiction of the Highway Commissioner, and perintendent of Highways, for whom has already existing laws, * * * ghall general charge of all township ways and bridges within his or county,” and shall “see sme are improved, repaired and maintained as provided by law, and according to the rules sand regula- tions of the State Highway Commis- stoner.” This does not, however, do away with the tovnship supervisor, as will be seen by the first paragraph of Sec. tion four, as quoted in full below, that the electors in townships may be made fully aware of their duties at the coming clection, this fall. Section 4& The general supervis- fon of road affairs in every town- ship of the second class shail be In the hands of three qualified electors of such township, who shall be styl- ed township supervisors, instead of road supervisors as under former laws, and who shall be elected at the municipal elections in the odd- numbered years, for a term of six years. The term of all supervisors elected in the years on thousand nine hundred and nine and one thousand nine hundred and ten shall expire o the first Monday of December, one thousand nine hun- dred and thirteen; and the term of all supervisors elected in the year one thousand nine hundred and eleven, for the short or long term, respectively (if two or more vacan- cles were filled), shall expire on the first Moncay ‘of December, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, As the case may be. At the munici- pal election in the year one thous. and nine hundred and thirteen, one supervisor shall be elected for a full term of six years, and one su- pervisor for a term of four years and then, at each municipal elec tion thereafter, one supervisor shall be elected for the full term of sisx years. The duties of these supervisors are fet forth with great particularity and detail, and the first duty required, af- ter the organization which must be effected “on the first Monday in De- cember, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and yearly thereafter,” Is that they “shall proceed to levy a road tax, which shall not exceed ten mills on each dollar of valpation, * * * provided, however that the sald road tax shall hereafter be collected in cash, and no such taxes shall be payable In labor or worked out” An- other important provision of this same section is that The State Highway Commissioner shall furnish, from time to time, bulletins of Instruction to each board of township supervisors for the bullding, repairing, and main. tenance, and improvement of towns ship roads and bridges, and shall furnish any additional information when called upon to do so * * Provided, That upon the neglect or refusal of the supervisors of any township to carry out the instruc tions, rules and regulations of the State Highway Commissioner, he may withhold from sald t 80 neglecting or refusing the amount to which it would otherwise be en- * under heen this | appointed the | of the act | by | (Continued at bottom of next col) RECENT DEATHS.

It will also be observ. ed that it refers to something like in eighty or eighty-five per cent. of the roads in the State which are not “State Highways" in the techinal sense of the term, but the “township” or “dirt” road, and is therefore, one of the most important road laws the State has ever made. Whether all its muitifarious provisions are the wisest that could be made, may be a subject of doubt; and whether it will be found possible to carry them all into successful execution must be subject to the test of time. One thing is certain the “dirt road” will receive more attention in Pennsylvania than ever before, and there will be a much higher grade of road judgment and road intelligence brought to bear up~ on the problems of the “dirt road” than ever before. The one thing for every good eitizen in the country dis- tricts to do Is to lend every possi. ble assistance to the project, under the law as It now stands. The "dirt road” is, by all odds, the longest road the Btate owns, and because of the character of the =~ ulation which it serves, and the pusiness which is con- ducted it, it is the most import ant the State owns, In addi tion, a good many of us, old time drivers and road users, have a number of papers on medical | performed, | requirements | lcontest | Coroner | . | respectively, also al {and | wing of ith twenty - | the | City, | of | Zerby {has no {to Wm Altoona, form- |.

Kennedy Johnston Hsq., of Bellefonte. This does not mean that he will not be opposed, as the field Is open and bloody war appears on the moon.
