Cun- ningham was the first goalie to be tested by a long kick from Jones. Then Baxter had to extend himself for a smart kick from Beach. After about five minutes of play Cook picked up a loose ball and shot it through a tangle of legs into the net. The kid chorus back of the Sons of England goal were delighted. Going was very slippery on the grassy spots from the recent rain and there were several amusing sprawls. Munro with a kick from centre nearly placed another in the net. Later, White got possession of the ball and ran with it till he had practically a straight chance on the net for his kick but the ball angled to the right. A play of T'. Blair to Doran to Jones who headed it straight for the net but which Cunningham caught in time brought applause. The Sons of Eng- land started in more aggressively for In the Dickson cup series the Sons of England met the Dome Football Club on the Dome recreation grounds on Tuesday evening.

TIMMINS, ONTARIO The trial of Mike Skakoon on a charge of the murder of Mrs. Lecke at Timmins last May will open at Ccchrane on Tuesday next. Sept. 29th, at the fall assizes there. Sergt. W. S. Craik and Constable O. Gauthier will !be among the witnesses at the trial. jSkakoon was committed for trial on May 27th on the charge of the murder 50f Mrs. Lecke. At the inquest on May 126th. Skakoon insisted upon telling the istory of the tragedy hi self and he repeated his story at th preliminary trial. When asked if he wanted a law- yer, he said. “the poor woman did not have one before she died, so. why should I?” It is understood, however, that his father who resides in the Sud- bury district, has secured a lawyer for gthe trial next week and that a legal battle will be put up to save Skakoon. In the story volunteered by Mike Ska- koon he told about assaulting Mrs. Lecke at Christmas time after he had lived with her for three years as his common law wife. They parted then but in May of this year he brought his wife and children from Rouyn to Tim- mlns and left‘them at Mrs. Lecke’s. On May 20th he returned from Rouyn to Mrs. Lecke’s accompanied by a woman friend. Later he took this woman friend out to a boarding house. On his return to Mrs. Lecke's he had a quarrel with Mrs. Lecke over money matters and the keeping of his wife and child- ren. He said he struck her several blows with an electric iron and thought she was dead. Then he tried to kill himself by stabbing his breast. The woman raised herself up from the floor where she had fallen and he went over and stabbed her through the head to finish her. His brother, Nick Skakoon. and his wife, Mrs. Mike Skakoon, were in the house at the time of the quar- rel. Mrs. Skakoon fled when the quar- rel started, but Nick Skakoon saw some of the tragic happenings. The police were called by Nick‘ Skakoon. The woman was dead when the police ar- rived. Skakoon was taken to the hos- pital for treatment for the self-inflicted wounds on his breast, but these did not prove serious. The Skakoons are Ukrainians, but are well educated. Mike Skakoon is said to speak several languages. He has been a model pri- soner at Haileybury. it is said. and has occupied himself largely with reading and writing poetry since his imprison- ment there. The following poem is one that he wrote and showed to his keepers at Haileyburyzâ€" The Prisoner‘s Song (By W. M. Skakoon) Behind my prison bars so dreary, Dreaming of the home I love so well, Broken-hearted, tired and weary, In my gloomy prison cell. You ask me why I’m sad and lonely, And why I’m never bright and gay; Perhaps, if you should hear my story lYou would know it was the only way. For I have loved a woman dearly, My heart for her beat more each day. And gladly would I give my life up If she once more could see the day. Oh, who can tell of passion‘s anger When youth's young dream of life is o‘er; The hand I raised in jealous blindness Struqk one, alas, she'll breathe no more. Oh, mother, dear, can you forgive me, Although I was an erring son? My soul I'll give again to Jesus In payment of the deed I’ve done. Behind my prison bars so dreary In sorrow I will pine and die. And pray that maybe she'll forgive me When in my cold dark grave I lie. Seated in my cell so dreary. Watching the sun rise every day. Thinking of my dear old mother, Knowing that she'll pray for me alway. The Timmins Bowling Association has called its Opening meeting for to- morrow (Friday) evening to elect offi- cers for 1931-1932 season.

Mr. Clouthier has to leave his boats at the dock and there seems no way of protecting them. except by rigorously prosecuting anyone found causing any injury. Most of the dam- age has been done by grown men. and even some women. who should know better. In some cases the damage is due to fooling roughly with the equip- ment of the boats, wrenching at the metal work and the decorative parts and doing other similar things that can result in nothing but destruction and Wanton Damage to Boats at the Mattagami River Recently, Joe. Clouthler has been a loser to the extent of a thousand dollars or more through wanton damage to his boats at the river. The varnish has been scratched and the finish of the boats badly damaged. Parts of the equipment of the boats have been dam- aged or destroyed. apparently out of wanton destructiveness. The roof of one of the boats has been so badly damaged that it will be necessary to replace it altogether. There was a particular amount of damage done to the boats on Sunday when there was so immense a crowd at the river. but several times recently injury has been caused that means loss to the owner without. any advantage to those re- . . ”.1, O O .0 O.
