be Opened.

Syndicate.
Several Akron Men Have Interests In
That Section.

The monopoly of the nickle lands in
the Sudbury district which has been
enioined by the Canadian Copper

Hall In Toronto, Friday morning the
application of II. G. Leckle, OF Sud

fendant consented.
Some months ago an agreement was
made between Leckie, who is the
Sudbury representative Of the Cana
dian Copper company, and Mcconnell
by which the latter undertook to sell
to Leckie certain nickel lands near
Sudbury for $150,00o. 1t was under.
stood that the Canadian Copper com,
pany intended to allow the lands TO
remain idle, and no haste was made
towards conveying them 10 Leckie.
Shortly afterwards DR.. Mond,the great
nickel king of London, England, open
ed negotiations with Mcconnell look
ing to the purchase Of the lands. The
price named was higher than that Of
fered by Leckie, and Mcconnell de.
cided to accept 1t, and now the sale
is confirmed by the courts, and the
new company starts to work forth
with. 1t was stated that Mr.. Leckie
had no chance of winning.
The mine discovered by Mcconnell
is IL the vicinity of that controlled
by the Vermilion company. Thursday,
Charles n. Howland filed petition
in which he alleged that the Canadian
Copper company was allowing this
property to lay idle in order to main
tain its monopoly on the copper bus
mess. He asked damages in the sum
of $2,OO0,O00.

A Fatal Mistake.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 17.-(Spl.)-
A band Of young men and women re-
turning from country dance last
night conceived the idea that it would
be an excellent jest to hide behind
trees and "scaye" Tom Davis, who was
following them home,
They hid and when Davis camc
tr,Idging along in the moonlight,seyer-
al of the young women tossed stones
at him, and one OF the young men
leaped out into the road and suoted:
"Throw up your hands" Davis threw
up his hands, but in one of them was
a pistol. He fired it and killed the
jester
Then the others rushed from their
hiding places, and Davis learned Of
the joke that had ben played upon him.
He could not see the humor OF the jest,
and was heartbroken, for the man that
lay dead in the road was his brother
Matthew.
