SOMEWHERE IN
MEXICO IS BURIED
312,000 IN GOLD
Fearing an Approaching Ban
dit Horde, Three Americans
Buried Money and Then
Fled to States.
Grass Valley, Cal., May 25.
Somewhere in Mexico" $12,000 in
Hold bullion is buried, it's where
abouts knowr) only to J. A. Mathis,
formerly a miner of Plumas county,
north of here, and two companions
who aided in secreting it, Mathis
recently arrived here after an
absence of two years. He is going
back to find the gold, which was
buried because the men valued their
lives more than, the precious ore,
the weight of which impeded their
progress when chased-by Mexican
bandits.
Describing the flight, Mathis said:
"Two of us slept, while the third
stood guard. Before daylight the
sfuard awakened us to hear the
hoofbeats of approaching horses.
Soon three horsemen rode through
the chapparal and we could dis
tinguish the high, pointed hats of
the bandits. We: wasted no time in
challenging but immediately opened
fire. Two of the men fell from
their horses. The third tried to
escape, but he tumbled headlong
before he had gone far.
"We tried to catch the horses,
hut without success; so after strip
ping the bodies ' of all arms and
ammunition, we started again for
the coast. Valuing our lives more
than the heavy bullion just then,
we decided to leave it behind, and
it was buried in the sand and
secret markings noted.
"We reached the coast after a
toilsome journey and in a nearly
famished condition."
Britisher, in Spite of
Loss of His Hand, Is
Able to Play Golf
Del Monte, Cal., May 25. The
possibility of achieving athletic suc
cess even under the handicap of
physical disability is being demon
strated on the golf links here by
Capt. A. Sutton, a British army of
ficer who lost a hand in the great
war.
Always ft gold enthusiast and
rated a first-class player, Captain
Sutton had forever dismissed from
his mind the possibility of ever be
ing able to indulge in his favorite
game again. The possibility of, at
least, amusing himself by one
handed putting occurred to the cap
tain. The experiment was a success
and he continued to improve in ac
curacy. Incidentally he was strength
ening his remaining hand and arm
by constant use. 1
It was not long before he was
trying out lome of the other clubs
and, m the course of a short time
he found himself going through with
his swine quite as he did in the old
days. Today, there is not a club
that Captain Sutton is not able to
manipulate and he is able to go
out and play a round with any of his
friends without asking anything in
the way of a handicap advantage. In
fact he is considered the marvel of
the course, and always attracts a
gallery.
Recently he paired with Jack
Neville, former California state
champion, and defeated another pair
of excellent players. Captain Sut
ton's work on the green was a dis
tinctive feature. In .driving ap
proach shots and putting, he quite
held his own, both in the matter of
distance and accuracy. He has made
a medal score of 84 over the course,
which is better than a large ma
jority of the players is able to ac
complish. He is' considering en
tering a Decoration day tourna
ment which is to be held here.
