Believes Lost Explorer

Man in Washington Says He

Araujo, who believes he saw Col. p.
H. Tawcett, ''lost' English explorer,
in the Brazilian jungle about 1927,
Tuesday said the colonel may be q
voluntary exile from civilization.
A meeting in the jungle with an
Englishman who said he was mot
going back" to civilization was de-
scribed by Araujo, son of Brazilian
rubber exporter and now resident OF
Washington.
The region where he says he met
the mysterious white man Is near
that in which Stephen Rattin, Swiss
trapper. recently reported meeting
FaWcett and receiving from him a
message asking to be rescued from
Indian captivity"
Araujo said he led an expedition
into the Matte Crosse jungle looking
for rubber.
Waited For Meeting
zone afternoon I was walking
through the Jungle" he said, when I
saw a white man coming toward me.
When he saw me he stood still and
waited for me to approach. He was
about so years old, Of medium height,
blond, touch of gray in hts hair,
with blue eyes and long beard such
as all white men grow in the jungle.
His khaki shorts were tattered, his
shirt falling to pieces, and on his feet
were native rubber shoes.
II went up to him and asked him
who he was and II he were lost.
~ am an Englishman' he said,
''and I am not lost
Il said to him, don't you want ever
to go back to your home? and he
said, never. hate that life
Looked Straight At Him
II looked straight at him and said:
Are you COL Fawcett?'
Never mind about that he re-
piled. I am not going back He car
ried no gun but was armed with q
belt knife.
Later "he got up and walked away
in the Jungle. / saw he wanted no
one to follow him, so /, too. went my
way.
Returning to Manaos, I told my
story. and everyone there said the ma
tive rumors exactly agreed with it;
that the Indians believed Fawcett
never wanted to reach home again"
Fawcett disappeared In the Matte
Crosse region, vast unexplored
jungle area Of Brazil, seven years ago.
It was generally believed he was lost
in the jungle or killed by Indians.

therefore, be up to the president to
meet this standing issue. The

Hyland.
From the western part of the state
however, comes information that the
Hyland candidacy is looked upon with
jaundiced eye by friends of James p
Cain, state senator from Stark coun'
ty and a candidate for endorsement
as lieutenant governor.
Both men are members Of the state
senate and Gains friends feel that
endorsement of Hyland for the gov
ernorship might operate against his
being the candidate for lieutenant
governor.
The result may be to force Cain in
to the gubernatorial race. His friends
say he has just as much right to this
endorsement as anyone else. The
contest may become a sectional bat
tie with the odds in favor of the
stronger delegations from the eastern
part of the state.
Into this situation steps the figure
Of r. A. Nestos of Minot, one-time
governor and long an important figure

there doomed the possibility that he
