Page Two THE CENTRE DEMOCRAT, BELLEFONTE, PA. May 15, 1941. — ——— Echoes From The Past ——————————— wed—— Fifty Years Ago It is reported that a new build- ing Is to be erected on the corner of Allegheny and Bishop Streets on the McBride property. firsg floor. The cold weather still continues and In some parts of the county frosts were reporteq one or two mornings of this week. No damage? of any importance has yet been re- | ported to the fruit crop for this section, On Tuesday evening of last week Mrs. Henry Laird, Eagleville, retir- ed a little earlier than usual, say- ing that she was not feeling well. About two hours ter she was found dead in bed. Her sudden death is supposed to have been caused by heart failure. On last Thursday John died at Altoona and the Mallory remains were brought to Bellefonte for in- terment, which occurred on Sun- day afternoon in the Union ceme- tery. Mr. Mallory had been an old citizen of Bellefonte and only mov- ed to Altoona this spring. On Monday morning when the janitor of the Court House swept the stairway leading to the court room he found a half-burned box lying on the malting on the second floor near the double doors. The matting had a hole burned in it about six inches in diameter. The supposition of some is that an at- tempt was made to burn the build- ing, but that it was not a success If any such attempt was made the fellow was a poor hand at the busi- ness or else he is trying to scare the people. It would not be healthy for a firebug to be caught at work abou; Bellefonte. During the past week the moun- tains north ang west of town have been on fire and a dark cloud of smoke obscured the sky most of th time. The fire started on the mountains near Unionville and kept burning on both sides it reached near Bellefonte on Monday Many acres of valuable timberland, miles of fence and large quantities of cut timber, bark and cord wood have been destroyed. Mr. William Eckley is a heavy sufferer and es- timated his joss at at least one thousand dollars. Isaac Haupt had considerable property burned and a: one time some of his farm bulld- ings came near Deine destroyed People in the ity of Coleville were compelled tot urn out and fignt the fire.
