We have Just learned the shocking
facts surrounding the tragic death of
two American soldiers, Lt. William
ton and Sgt. Bates, and two Brazll-
Ians who were murdered by Indian»
of the Atroarls Tribe in the vicinity
of the town of Mauro, Amazonas.
which 1» situated on the Rio Negro
near the Junction of the Rio Branco,
num» 20<l miles from Manaos. Tne
tragedy occurred many miles above
the town on the Alalau’ River ’ which
flows from
the Jauapere' 1 River,
possibly between 100 and 15u miles
above tin» town of Mauro.
■
On Oct. 22nd a weary, near-dead-
thnn-allve Brazilinn staggered back
into the town of Mauro and his wtory
was telegrnphed into Manaos via
Nactionnl Telegraph telling of the
deaths of the other four men in the
expedition party which had »et out
from Manaos some six weeks pr-sv-
icualy in the interests of the UA.
Army Mapping Squadron whose gi-
gantlc task is to map the entire of
Brazil In detuil. Of the five people
in the expedition he. alone, escaped
from the hostile tribe of Indians who
had killed the other members of the
party and had made his way through
the Jungles back to Mauro to tell the
story, arriving there some seventeen
day, later.
When he first arrived nt Mauro he
told only the facts that were upper
most In his fear-erased mind, how-
< ver the next day he enlarged upon
and subtracted from his original
story, Since then we have heard
