Saga ... From Page é bridges over all of the creeks had been washed away necessitating the time-consuming business of roceeding up each of the arger creeks far enough to fall trees across to efiect at least safe crossing of these large creeks. There. were five namely, Phillips, Nicholson, Hardscrabble, Pitman and Fiddler. They waded all of the smaller streams. Practically all of the lower areas traversed by the telegraph line were flooded, making it necessary to seek higher ground. All in all, it took them three long days to get to Lorn Creek. One thing seemed to be in favour of the boss. During the three days the river water had lowered and it appeared that it would be safe to send a boat or cance down to Stuarts Landing for the remainder of the mining crew. Two men residing at. Lorn Creek were engaged to make the trip.- The same instructions were given them, namely that only at the estuaries of the five large creeks were the four men allowed to get in the canoe, This, the boss pointed out, would save the men the tlme of going up each of the five creeks to make a crossing. . ~ After five or six days had elapsed with no sign of the crew or the two men from Lorn Creek an investigation disclosed the following. . The people at Stuarts Landing that the canoe with the two men aboard had arrived at the landing, All of the equipment had been loaded and then headed upstream with only the two men aboard. The four men of the mining crew were last seen walking the river bank. From this point on it is pure surmise regarding the tragedy. Due to the body of one of the men from Lorn Creek having .been found floating in the slough at the lower end of the Big Canyon and also that the people at Stuarts Landing saw the canoe with the two men from Lorn Creek land at G&A move AND GORDON, AN- ‘DERSON 3 POHLE LUMBER 1 Gordon and Anderson pulled four points ahead of . the cellar dwelling Pohle Lumber team in the Com- mercial Hockey League by virtue of a 3-1 victory last ' Thursday night. Pohle Lumber scored the | first and only goal they could manage of the game in: the second period, Terry Markwart took a pass from Maurice Ehbel, stepped over the G&A blueline and let go a shot that fooled the goaltender completely as it found the top corner, giving Pohle a 1- 0 lead.

Barry Heinen fired a hard slapshot from the point. It was stopped but Ken Klippert was standing all alone in front of the Pohle cage and hammered it home. Gordon and Anderson then took three straight penalties but Pohte could not capitalize on any of these, as poor play by Pohle and good checking by G&A held the score even for the rest of the second period.
