The one club contests have been con

it is expected, meet with favor on the
links at the club grounds by the Platte.
The contests take the form of four
some at match play and each player
is limited to his choice of the driver,
mid iron. mashie or putter. One pair
may thus use a driver and mashle or
a mid iron and putter, but after the
selection has been made there can be
no change. Furthermore. each player
must cOnfne himself to one club
throughout. This makes some inter
esting combinations possible, for If
mid iron shot is called for and the
player carries a putter he will have to
use it, even though his partner carries
a mid iron.
It is rumored that the Denver Ath-

Opening of Summer School.

The Cameron County Teachers
Summer School will open Monday
next, May Goth, in High School Build
ing of Emporium. This school is in
stituted for the benefit of the teachers
and other young people of this section
and it is hoped that it may have the
patronage of large number of teach
ers and others.
Owing to the great distance from
any higher school of pedagogy and
academic training this school should
be an established institution and should
receive the hearty support of all friends
of education in Cameron and surround
ing counties.
Miss VanValkenberg, member of
the faculty of the Summer School feels
that she must have the time to herself
the next two months and has asked to
be relieved. Her place will be filled
by Chester E. Rem of Bucknell Uni
versity. Mr.. Rem is Normal School
graduate and has been connected with
school work the past eight years, four
of which he was principal of schools.
During the past two years he has been
doing University work. He is a man
Of wide experience, thorough scholar
ship and is an excellent instructor.

Killed by the Cars.

About 500 o'clock last Saturday
morning the mangled remains of Bur-
ton Burnham, aged 3S years, who re-
sides on Moore Hill, where he owns a
small farm, were found by railroad
men lying between the railroad track
and P. s. E. passenger depot at this
place. His remains were removed to
the undertaking establishment of Geo.
J. LaBar where they were prepared
for burial. Deceased leaves wife and
five small children, his wife being q
daughter of Sylvester Beldin, of Moore
Hill. The young man had been en-
ployed by Hall & Kaul in Elk county
and came to Emporium on Friday and
it is supposed was killed while attempt
ing to jump a freight train, in
tending to go to his home on Moore
HILL Coroner A. w. Baker summoned

Messrs. w. L. Thomas, foreman, Chas
Parks, Arson w. Lewis, Delbert Tow
ner, Percy Fry and Alex. McCauley,
who rendered verdict that deceased
came to his death while attempting to
jump onto freight train.
1t is reported that Mr.. Burnham
was a member of the Maccabees of
Straights Greek and if so, will be God
send to the poor wife and children,
who certainly will need the sympathy
and aid of our citizens.
