Mills Creek Operator
Reports on Conditions
Robert Michaelson, a Mills creek !
operator for twenty years, with pla- j
cer properties of great value, ar-j
rived in town yesterday with Fred
Matz, after a hard trip over the
frail to the railroad. Mr. Michael
son states that business has been
brisk along the Moose Pass road
this winter, much development work
being planned this season. Mr. Mi
chaelson is having 13.000 feet of lum-[
ber hauled to his claims on Mills j
creek, a large part of which has j
been hauled from Soller’s mill, on !
Grant Lake to a point far down j
the road. Mr. Sobers is turning out j
a fine grade of lumber, Mr. Michael-J
son, declares, which is a boon to I
the Moose Pass residents, as the!
price is very low, $22.50 per M. With j
a small sum expended for a road !
from the railroad to Mr. Sellers
place, residents of this section could

be assured of amide building mate
rial. As it is now all lumber must
be hauled out by dog team to the
railroad, making it expensive. The
winter trail made by Mr. Sellers is
narrow and hard to travel, and if
a road could be constructed, lum
ber could be supplied for the next
ten years of high quaTty.
Mr. Michaelson has been in cor
respondence with the Bureau of
Public Roads asking for help in con
structing a log bridge and a 1,100
foot trail across the head of Canyon
creek, which would allow supplies
being hauled direct to his mine. Up
to the present time he has met with
little encouragement, as the Bureau
has notified him that no spurs are
contemplated until the main road to
Hope is finished, which will take
about three years. Mr. Michaelson
has a good property and has taken
out considerable gold, but finds that
his methods must be improved, and
is taking in lumber for the property,
and will build this spring.
The Canyon Creek district has a
number of good properties and much
money is being spent, in develop
ment.
Mr. Michaelson states that about
three feet of snow' fell last week,
the heaviest for many years He

New Indoor Court Game
Brought Out In Denver
DENVER, Colo., Apr. 2—The lat
est indoor sport in this region is
“zig-zag.” It combines basketball
and volley ball, and has a trace of in
door baseball. It made its debut re
cently under the sponsorship of Joe
Mills, formerly basketball coach at
the University of .‘Colorado, and Ray
Rippeteau, a Denver business man:
The two men, believing that bas
ketball was a bit too- strenuous for
the average person, worked out a
game that has basketball as the
scoring basis and puts only two men
at a time under the strain that each
member of a basketball five is plac
ed throughout the contest. A zig-zag
team consists of seven men. A bas
ketball court is used, with its sur
face divided in three zones. For
wards and guards are restricted to
their respective zones. The centers
rove the floor. Basemen, two in
number for each team, are stationed
near the center and on the side
lines. Stepping from the bases con
stitutes a technical foul, and in such
event the ball goes to the opponents
out of bounds, as in basketball.
Basketball rules govern the play
except for scoring, which is credit
ed in varying amounts. A goal from
within end zones counts one point,
from the center zone two points,
and a tally registered by one of the
basemen from mid-court on the side
lines is worth three. After each
score the players move counter-clock
wise, and thus every man takes his
turn in the end zones or bases. The
game is limited to 50 minutes.

Tocama Woman Tells
of Torture Inflicted
by Two Housebreakers
TACOMA, April 2.—“For three days
after I was placed on the hot stove to
make me tell where my Liberty bonds
and diamonds were hidden, I suffered
so much from the burns I thought I
would die.
“My hips were burned so badly I
couldn’t lie in any position without
being in intense pain. Even, now,
nearly five weeks after the attack, I
cannot sit down in comfort.”
Mrs. Ernest L. Benjamin, 5235, So.
Birmingham street, thus related for
publication yesterday for the first time
her story of the outrage on the even
ing of February 2, when a masked
robber entered her apartment by a
ruse, backed her onto a hot stove and
left her unconscious on the floor. No
information was given out by the po
lice for more than a month while de
tectives worked on the case.
“My husband left at 5 o’clock that
Monday evening. He usually doesn’t
go out until a couple of hours later,
but he left early to buy some music
before the stores closed. He plays
in the Shrine band and is director of
the Northern Pacific band.
Builds Roaring Fire
'“Before leaving he built a roaring
fire in this 3tove,” indicating a flat
top heater in the dining room.
“I put a teakettle of water on the
stove to heat for washing dishes. Then
I sat down to read the paper. At about
5:15 o’clock I heard a knock at the
back door. I looked through the glass
to see who was there. I saw what ap
peared to be a woman with a high hat V
and coat collar turned up.
“I unlocked the door and opened
it. As I stepped forward to speak
to her a man’s hand shot around the
door jam and clutched my throt. The
woman quietly stepped backward on
the porch.
I tried to scream, but couldn't.
“ 'Your rocks and your bonds—they
are here,’ the man said. “You tell me
where they are or I’ll lay you cold.”
he said.
"Then he stuck the poker into the
stove and pushed me into a corner of
the room. I believe he intended to
get it red hot and then torture me.
."Suddenly he whirled me around and ^
forced me back onto the hot stove. My
dress had been torn off.
"The stove scorched holes right in
to my flesh, burning deeply. The pain
wras terrific. 1 screamed and writh
ed.
"I don’t know what happened after
that because I fell forward unconsci
ous. I must have been there for a long
time as it was dark when I come to
my senses and the fire was out.
