Operate Coal Mine.

Stratford Courier: 1t is reported
that the Boone river coal mine will
soon be ready to furnish coal again to
all those who require that necessary
winter commodity. Last winter that
coal bank furnished good many tons
of coal to families in and around
Stratfor and indeed they helped a
whole lot to keep people warm. This
year they have made road on the
north side of the river leading direct
ly to the coal bank so that it will be
much easier of access than it was last
year.

ing coaches, was found dead today
In his summer cottage on CayuSa
Lake. He was T5 years Old. a fla
nous oarsman himself. and former
coach OF the Cornell crews. He had
been fishing and complained of feel
ing i'll when he returned. His wife
was unable to rouse him n little la
ter and doctors pronounced death
due 10 apoplexy.
Courtney was born. lived his life
and died on the shores OF CayuSa
Lakes He began his career as a car
penter in partnership with his broth
er, and won his first race at the age
of 10 in "a boat he built himself. From
that race, when he beat his nearest
rival by half mile in n boat weigh
ing sixty pounds. or double that of
the other contestants. he won more
than ninety races and was never de-
featcd rs an amateur.
Out of forty-six races as pro-
fessional, he met defeat only seven
times and rowed against some o. the
country's best oarsmen, Including
Ned Hanlan, the Canadian wizard.
Although Cornell had been doing
wonders on the water, Courtney made
the crews that set practically every
American rowing record. He became
coach at the university in 1888, and
since then Cornell's fame has been
on the water, and she has surpassed
every other American university and
college in this department OF sport
