GREAT PEDESTRIAN FEAT.
a Man Walks from Vera Cruz 10
Memphis on a Crutoh.
$3.50 Miles Accomplished In las
Days.

Mr.. Henry DeMather, formerly cap.
tain in the Confederate army, under
General Sterling Price, went to Mexico
after the surrender Of the Southern army,
and being Of French descent, as his
name indicates, took up arms with Max
imilian. While in the Confederate States
army he received four gunshot wounds,
but they did not injure him to any great
extent After joining the Imperial army
he received two more, one of which was
in tho ankle joint, disabling him for life
and forcing him to use q crutch. Mr..
DeMather, at the time Of the greatest
trouble in and about Vera Cruz, decided
to return to Memphis, but being without
means it would have been utterly impos-
sible for less courageous man to have
succeeded. To will and to do were the
same thing with him. Taking his crutch
he started on foot, and in just l45 days
this energetic man, with his many battle
scars, arrived in the Bluff City, having
made in that time $3.50 miles, being a
little over an average of twenty-five
miles per day seventy.four hours of this
time he was on one Of those extensive
plains SO numerous in Texas, without
either food or water. Mr.. DeMather is
certainly entitled to wear the belt.
