TELLS THRILLING STORY
OF SEARCH FOR GOLD
Hostile indians in Isthmus of Panama
XIII Two Members of Party,
and One Dies in Open
Boat

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Baron f. b.
Won Teuber, who arrived here today on
the steamer Magdalena from West In
dian ports, told thrilling story or a
gold hunting expedition in Panama,
north of the canal zone, which resulted
in the death of three members of his
party.
The baron, with his brother and three
mining engineers, who left this city
several months ago for the gold and
anthracite fields in the northern part
of the isthmus, finally started with two
Indian guides for the north from Colon,
through what proved to be country
jealously held by exceedingly hostile
Indians.
A midnight encounter resulted in the
fatal shooting of the Indian guides.
Left thus in q strange, practically trail
less country, they wandered helplessly.
The three engineers, were soon stricken
with frightful fevers. The baron and
his brother, however, made for the
coast with the sick men, encountering
constant hardships.
John Bradley, one of the engineers,
died in a boat they had hastily con-
structed, but Fred Smith and Peter
Bartlett were taken to a hospital and
are recovering.
