GRAVE OPENED FOR
DEMIJ0HN OF BOOZE
Texas Cetebra nts Carried Out
Wish Of Man Buried At
Years AGO.

Houston, Texas, July IA Fourth
of July picnic, held near Brumley, Mil
Ter county. Texas, takes the prize for
unusual features.
In 1855 Matthew Wilson died in the
village of Brumley, and was buried
in cave that opened upon beautiful
valley through which bright stream
meandered. 1t was his dying request
that a huge demijohn OF whiskey be
placed in his arms and buried with him
in the cave. He also directed that at
the end of seven years the coffin he
opened and the demijohn removed and
brought to the mouth of the cave,
where the liquor should be drunk by
a picnic party on the Fourth Of July.
The will directed that feasting, dane
ing, drinking and all sorts Of merry
making should be INDUCED in without
restraint, and declared that his spirit
would join the revelry.
The end of the seven years came
right In the midst of the civil war
and the grave and demljohn were for
gotten.
The celebration with Wilson's wEis-
key was postponed until the present
year. A grandson Of Wilson, living
in the vicinity of the cave, headed the
fete, and saw that everything was
carried out to the letter. There was
large attendance, and the demijohn
was found intact. Its contents were
distributed among the crowd, tho
drinkers pronouncing 1t "first-class
stuff"

where III. wnd Camel. Came Prom.

Where the wild Cameis Came Prom.
America has It's wild camels, and ma
tive born ones too; camels as wild as
they ever are. with the toughness of
hoof and hide and all of the timidity
and fleetness that come to thses beasts
when they have not known master
for several generations. The Inter-
national Boundary Commission that
recently surveyed the line between tho
United States and Mexico reports see
ing wild camels on the alkali plains.
amid sage brush and cactus, in South
ern Arizona.
How did these camels get there I!
They were born there, and are the de-
scendants of camels that were brought
to this country in 1857. In the early
fifties, when there were great migra-
tions to California, horses and mules
could not stand the journey over the
deserts Of the Southwest, and the i'm
portation Of camels was advised.
Lieutenant Edward f. Beale--after-
ward brigadier general and Minister
to Austria-who was at Fort Yuma, on
the edge Of the Colorado desert, wrote
to Jefferson Davis, then SECRETARY of
War, suggesting the purchase Of cam
els by the government.
A commission was appointed, made
Investigation, and 100000 was appro-
priated for the buying of camels. In
1854 Major G. Wayne went to Egypt
and Arabia, bought thirty camels and
landed them at Gulf of Mexico port
in February, 1857.
Three had died, and twenty-seven
were taken to Camp Verde and were
put into service, but with little satis-
faction. The soldiers did not like
them, they received little care and less
use, and soon became pensioners
Then came the civil war; the old fort
was abandoned and the camels were
allowed to wander away. Some died
from disease, some were killed by In
dians, some made their way to Mexico
and others stayed about the southern
borders Of Arizona. From these last
came those seen by the members oi
the boundary commission. Ia

releasing him, ran for help. Before
they could get any he was dead.
