The smelting works and coal mines were pur chased for 210,000,000 marks by a syndicate headed by Councillor Vonraumer. The state reserved the right of participation to the exte of 51 per cent in the purchase of the properties. Accidentally Shot by Gun In Hands of Friend Went Point. Neb.. Oct. 19. (Spe cial.)
