when three men drove up in an
automobile.
Faces Covered
He said they wore handker-
chiefs over the lower parts of
their faces and each carried a
pistol.
Lee ran into the building and
locked the door, but the men
forced an entrance by breaking
the glass in a side window and
grabbed Lee before he could tele-
phone for the police.
They then tied him and placed
him in a corner of the main
office.
Desks RanSacked
The bandits ransacked every
desk in the office but took
nothing from them. They broke
open the safe with crowbars.

to the building to deliver paper.
He summoned Patrolman o. K.

CHEMIST FINDS
SLEEP JUST
A JAG"

AIN ARBOR. Mich, Nov. II
(INS0 EVERY dry suffers one
Of the "disgraceful" effects oi
drunkenness under a new theory
of sleep announced here today
by Dr.. Bancroft, celebrated chem
list, Of Cornell University, at the
autumn meeting Of the Nationa,
Academy Of Sciences.
DR.. Bancroft, originator Of TIE
new theory Of insanity which de
scribes patients as suffering
either from a "coagulation, ol
puckering, Of their brain cells
or from dispersion, or thinning
of the brain substances, fatty
asserted that sleep is identical IN
character with the stupor OF
drunkenness.
- Tells Of Tests
Both result from a partial,
reversible" coagulation Of the
colloidal tgumlike) substances in
the conscious braincells, he said.
In partial proof Of this the
ory, he said that he hads used
himself for some Of the expert
ments leading to his conclusion.
He said:
"Caffien (the chief drug in
COffee) irritates the sensOry
nerves, and some people, in
: cluding myself, cannot sleep
II they drink coffee in the
evening. ..
:Tn my own case can cOun-
teract the effect Of coffee BY
taking double the dose Of 80
dunn rhOdOnate in . glass Of
water after dinner.
"In many cases ordinary in.
ability to sleep well Is due TO
irritated nerves, and cOnSe-
Quently we have been very
successful by giving such
people small amounts Of so
dium rhodOnate In . glass Of
water every week or two"
Used on Rum Patients
Sodium rhodonate is a drug
which DR.. Bancroft has used
with considerable effect on in
sane patients and drug and
liquor addictS whose brain cells
have coagulated past The point
where the condition can be re
versed" by ordinary bodily secre'
tions. In proper doses it IRE.
verses" the coagulation to normal.
In his treatment of SleeplesS'
ness he pointed out that he is
using the drug to promote an
opposite effect. He said it is
all a matter of dosage. If a
large dose were given person
troubled with insomnia, the per
son would have more difficulty
going to sleep than ever, as the
drug would eradicate the puck
ering" of the brain cells which
give him the sensation Of "a
,tigue.
SOOthes Nerve Cells
I But in a small dose, the drug
only eradicates sensory nerve ir.
ritability and gives the puckered
brain cells an opportunity to
quiet all consciousness, he said.
Under his new theory Of sleep,
Dr.. Bancroft lists all persons
who can drop off to sleep at
once. even under diSadvantageous
circumstances, as. persons who
live under a nervous pressure
that keeps them in such a state
of brain fag that ordinary or
even extraordinary nerve irrita-
tions do not prevent them from
losing consciousness when they
wish.

MCCONNELL CREEK AREA
 WARRANTS TH0R0 TESTING
 SAYS MINISTER OF MINES

Mcconnell Creek in northern B. C., which was the scene of a small gold rush last spring, warrants thorough testing for a large-scale dredging operation, in the opinion of Douglas Lay, resident mining en- gineer, No. 2 district for the provin- cial department of mines. A bull letin prepared by Mir Lay in Me Cornell Creek Placer Area" has been issued by Hon. W. A. Mckenzie, min ister of mines. The district engineer made a special examination of the area to check stories of a bonanza discovery of coarse gold on bedrock His finding are that true bedrock has never been reached and that the original story was highly over-color- ed and exaggerated. There is, how ever, says the report, an auriferous gravel-run lying on false clay bed rock which may prove to be of con- siderable importance. The gold is comparatively fine and the ground shallow down to the clay. Individual operators may in certain cases, even with small!scale methods, make wages. The main value is in gold but a small platinum content also occurs.

 Dropping the billet of wood I was about to lay on the pile, faced him. Those oId overalls, that were always two sizes too big for me, my slouch hat, that Mrs. Diven always regarded as the worst looking thing she had seen in Alaska, and my week-old beard combined to present a picture which l am sure must have recalled his childhood images of the Wild Mal from Borneo", and in my most solemn tone I said: Young man, I'm sorry for you and all your kind; nevertheless, I'll do you good turn just now, for you're likely to need it. There's never been murder com mitted in this camp, and I'd hate dreadfully to have you be the first victim, for evidently you don't un- derstand the ways of the country, and we always give strangers and uninformed persons at least run ming chance 1 could see measure of bewilderment coming to the sur face in the mans countenance, and he said: Why, what's the matter?" Well, just this," I replied. If the sixteen young Amazons that belong to this camp return while you are here, and discover that you have so shamelessly shot four of the inno- cent bears they have been watching with so much pleasure during their outdoor studies, it will require more than one mean looking camp boss to keep them from running you into deep water at the point of your own gun" With his nose in the air and assuming a poise that would have befitted the Ahkand of Swat, he strode away toward the spot where he had left his skiff. Let the good work of sane conservation go on!
