GOLF COURSE IMPROVED

During the past week the golf course
has been the scene Of great activity. 9.
B. Morgan. has been supervising the
work of clearing falrway and level
ing the greens. These Improvements
win add a great deal to the pleasure
of playing, aud probably bring about
II lowering Of scores The lowest
score reported Is a 50.
The golfers feel that the now have
a. very satisfactory course. The fair
away is one hundred feet wild, and The
rough Is very hazardous, being gener-
ously sprinkled with mesquite. The
greens are level and for the most part
reasonably fast There Is plenty OF
distance between holes and enough haz-
ards to keep up the interest.
Following is list Of the distances

DEAD IMAM. FORMER ENP[0VE
OF COMPANY, PUT UP Brisk
FIGHT UPON BEING CORNERED
Robbers, Three in Number,
Divided SpoiIs in Full
View Of Victims

Prompt action on the part of posse Of officers
and citizens Of Iowesvile, MonongaEa county, this
morning resulted in the death of one of three bandits
who heldup and robbed Superintendent ]. A. Mckay
and Paymaster Dave Richardson, of the New England
Fuel and Transportation on the railroad bridge near
Lowesville, securing the semi-monthly payroll
amounting to $21 ,54217.
The other two highwaymen were surrounded
about mile from the scene of the robbery. @
The dead man has been identified as Rumanian
named Bill Rowe, aformer employee of the New Eng
land mine at Lowesville.
The robbery occurred shortly after 9 o'clock.
Superintendent Mckay, Paymaster Richardson and
Assistant Superintendent James McKenna were on
their way from the, Lowesvlle station of the Monon-
gahela Railway with theemoney for the pay, which
they had drawn from the Fairmont State Bank which
makes up thespay roll every two weeks Lowesyille
the train that leaves Farmont at 838 and arrives
at Lowesvile at about O'clock
Leaving the station the three mine officials
started up the track toward the mine. Following the
rock back toward Fairmont for short distance they
came to the railway bridge over lagoon at the mouth
Of Indian Creek which empties into the Monongahea
River at that point and had gone but short distance
but on the bridge when they were overtaken by three
masked men, who covered them with guns and or
dered them to hold up their hands. The attack was
so sudden that the three mine officials had no choice
but to obey, although they too were heavily armed
Securing the suitcase containing the money, the
three bandits backed away and up path leading away
from the railway ne firing two shots evidently as
signal to others Of the gang and made their way to-
ward the top of thehill.

New Practitioners
At Cook Hospital

New probationer nurses are. be.
ginning to arrive at Cook Hospital
and are being gladly welcomed by
the staff Of that institution. One
young woman came in the first Of
the week and another is due Sep
tember the first. Four more re-
quests for application blanks were
received this week and the blanks
were dispatched to the inquirers on
Wednesday.
The shortage of nurses has been
one of the hardest propositions
which Cook Hospital has had to
face, and the one which has been
the greatest hindrance, but the in
terest manifested by young women
recently in becoming trained nurses
makes the local staff believe that
this fall the hospital will have
nearly a full quota of nurses which
will greatly relieve the situation
which has been existing ever since
the war called 50 many girls into
army service or business positions.
This week has been q heavy one
in the hospital as there has been
an average Of 5S patients in the
building every day. The hospital
has been crowded to its capacity
and patients have been refused ad-
mission because Of lack Of, beds.

INQUEST
INIT. DEATH Of
V0NlA KEENER
Half Debated Tire and
Bad Steering Gear
Responsible

The coroner's inquest into the
automobile wreck at Hlllcrest two
weeks ago today in which Vonda
Keener was killed was started this
morning and 1t was revealed that
the car had faulty steering gear.
The cotter pin Of the steering gear
was gone.
A visit was made toSthe Fair
mont hospital this morning and the
patients there who were in the
wreck were examined. Rex Lam
ham stated that the steering gear
was faulty and t:lat they had had
a blowout Just preceding the ac-
cident. The blowout was in the
right front wheel and whe nthe tire
was fixed he did not fill It entirely
with air. Grace Jolly was question
ed but she is still in a hazy con-
dition and she could not remember
anything OF the accident. Harvey
B. Wilson WHO rode in the rear
seat OF the car with Vonda Keener.
the woman who was killed. and
Grace Jolly. doaied that they had
any. liquor. as did all the others,
They admitted however that there
were some bottles In the car.
The inquest was continued this
afternoon when several witnesses
were examined. Frank G. McCray
was out In his brothers car that
afternoon and he was stopped by
Lanham who asked him II he could
borrow their pump to pump up his
tire. He said he had had a blow
out. The pump was not strong
enough for the large casing and II
is McCray's opinion that Janhan
did not get enough air IN his tire.
This would make It difficult to
steer. McCray's nephew who was
with him noticed that the cotter
pin was missing from steering
gear and warned Lanham to fix It
Lanham claimed It had been that
way for some time and 1t was all
right. McCray did not see any evil
dences of intoxicants.
Frank Reed, age 13. was then
examined. He and willis Denham
were out along the road that day
getting the numbers OF cars whose
owners dumped garbage over the
hill. They were working for the
city. They wandered down in the
;. woods but heard the noise of the
blowout and came back up on the
road. They found Lankam there
fixing the tire. He asked the boys
to help him and they did. Lanhan
caught his foot some how and fell
over in the road. This started the
boys laughing at him. This made
him angry and he said that II the
boys were larger he would bcat
