work of carrying out the task of fore

Death. The canoes were covered with
heavy sails and skins, which were
pierced with loop holes for rifles.
At Fort Creveaux, named in honor
of DR.. Creveaux, he got additional

gas Indians and an Indian boy, who

edge of the many languages and dia-
lects of the unknown tribes that were
encountered during the voyage. Col.
Suarez, acting in command at the fort,
provided this. escort under orders from
the Bolivian government, but person
ally begged Col. Ibarreta to desist.
His arguments were vain, and ear
ly in June the party started down the
Pilcomayo. And scarcely had they
passed from the sight of the soldiers
in the frontier fort before the forest
was alive with dangers all around
them. Men dared not leave their COW
cred canoes, even in the daytime.
Game vanished strangely before them.
AT first it seemed unaccountable, until
they found that the Indians. invisible.
but ever present, were driving it away
to starve the explorers out, so that
| they should venture into the forests to
hunt, when they could be killed easily.
When the expedition reached Lagu-
|
miles from the place where they had
| started, it was September. It had TAX
| en- them more than three months to
| get there, and yet the mysterious land
had scarcely been entered. And the
men were then in such extremities
that Ibarreta saw that they could not
| hope to get out alive unless help
reached them. They were encompass
ed by savages. Food was reduced to
| g, minimum. In this crisis Col. Thar
reta called for volunteers to break
through the silent, hidden Gordon of
foes and try to reach Formosa, on the
Paraguayan boundary, to get help.
Devils of the Woods.
Or those eight men nothing has been

| of two, who were found wandering in
the thickets with barely strength
enough left to tell even the briefest
story. They had been hunted head
I long from mile to mile. The forests
were instinct with death wherever
they turned. Six of the fugitives
were killed before a day had passed.

left the Ibarreta party in dire need
Just before passing certain great wa
terfalls of the Pilcomayo river, the
hitherto deserted banks Of the gloomy
| stream suddenly were filled with tall
men, hideously painted. and armed
with huge knotted clubs and with
spears. Their faces, painted coal
black. with circles Of light blue over

mouths, made them look, said the fu-
gitives, like devils. Indeed, the Pola-
gas Indians-a friendly tribe living
near the borders-affirm that these are
devils and not men that haunt the
dark, impenetrable forests of the River
of Death.
The Indians made an attack in force
on the expedition and were beaten off
only after desperate efforts. They
withdrew then into the cover of the
overhanging vegetation on the banks,
but they never ceased harrassing the
explorers. To go ashore for food was
out of the question. The only hope
that was left when the men started for
relief was to press on slowly to find
a landing place in open country, where
the Indians nigh be lat a disadvantage,
The two men did not live to reach CIV
iliZation, but died near where the
friendly Indian hunters had found
them. These carried the news to
Col. Carmelo Uriarte, who quickly
formed a relief party and advanced
toward the Pilcomayo. For twenty
days he marched and padded, and for
all those twenty days he had to fight
the savages who attacked him from
every hiding place along the line. His
Indian guides found friends who told
them that the Ibarreta party was to-
tally annihilated, and they led Uriarte
and his men to the spot where Col.
Ibarreta, the last man to yield, had
made his final fight.
The murderous Indians were men,
bers of the Chorostis and Orejude
tribes, of whom little is known except
that they live a life of constant war
fare between themselves, sinking their
differences only when strangers enter
the country.
Uriarte's spies found the graves of
various members of the Ibarreta party
and returned with stories Of touching
courage and devotion. They learned
how one member of the expedition af-
| ter the other had died, either from
| starvation or wounds and how the
| survivors buried their comrades and
| planted a rude cross on each grave. All
| last there were left with Ibarreta only
a single Indian and the boy. These
three worked their way on, ever suf-
| fering more, until they were quite I'M
! able to WELD either paddle or pole any
more. Then they crawled out on the
bank andwhile they were plodding or

stole on them and killed them with
axes, Ibarreta lighting till the last and

Still New Victims.
And still Ell Gran Chaco was to have
more victims.

For many years he had lived almost
constantly in the widest parts of the
continent. He was the first man to
send out from the depths of Patagonia
the report of the possible existence
there of a monstrous animal, the my
lodon, a giant sloth as great as an OK,
that still survived from prehistoric
days. He reported subsequently that
one evening he had even shot at some
huge creature that might have been it.
But it's hide turned his bullet, and the
gloom of the forest made pursuit i'm
possible.
Ramon Lista's Doom.
Ramon Lista, thus on the threshold,
possibly, of an epochal discovery in
modern world history, set his face to-
ward Ell Gran Chaco. He passed be-
yond the uttermost frontier of human
dwellers, and with canoe and men
padded away to reach the Pilcomayo
river. And when he padded thus
away he passed out of human sight
forever. For the River of Death has
never given him up.
Fragments of his story have drifted
| to the outer world. and from the sto-
ries told by boastful Indians and the
| scattered rumors brought to Bolivian
and Paragunayan and Argententinian
| frontier posts, it is known that he
| forced his way far up the river, con-
! tending against nature and wild beasts
and wild men alike, until, thoroughly
worn out and sadly diminished in
numbers the expedition found itself
cut off from either retreat or advance
| by the allied forces of human foes and
hunger. For the Indians, rarely show
| ing themselves, but constantly lurking
around the party, not only picked off
any members of the expedition who
| strayed even slightly from the main
body, but prevented all hunting. At
last the party was so reduced by pri-
vations that panic seized some and de-
spair others. And then came annihi-
lation. so that none returned. Lista
himself so men have learned since
then, was one of the last to die. And
scattered over many miles of forest
trails lie his companions, pursued and
killed in flight.
lbarreta Seeks the Mystery.
Ramon Lista's fate well might have
deferred other men from seeking to
enter the somber precincts of the terra
incognita. Yet rumors of Listas loss
had not more than begun to reach Eu-
| rope and North America, and already
another expedition was preparing to
hem it's way into the place of doom.
Col. Enrique de Ibarreta, of Spain,
was the man to lead 1t. He made his
start from San Antonio in Bolivia with
a party singularly well-equipped-
| equipped, indeed, as If for conquest
rather than for exploration. He had a
fiotilla Of Indian canoes, each holding
twelve men, and with him were six

ish companions, all well fitted by

pine timber In the Medicine Bow range and
threatening mining buildings. Although a
hundred miles away from Cheyenne the
smoke from these fires obscureS the sky

plainly noticeable. The fires in southern
Carbon county are burning fiercely. A gov
