THAT LOST TREASURE.
Which Some Long Have Sought and
Mourn Because They Found It Not.
According to the Foil nibsou Post
which should lie undoubted authority
on the matter there are many sto-
r'cs incidents and happenlngH con-
nected with old historic Fort Gibson
that has not been written and per-
haps never will be. The storks of
(len. Sam Houston alone who so-
journed her among the Indians awny
back In the thirties would flf! n vol-
ume saying nothing of the notable
people who lived and sojourned here
since the establishment of tile gar-
rison! u ISIS.
(Jen. Taylor nl'torwnrds president
of the United States commanded her
before the Mexican wnr and also Jeff
Davis afterwards president of the
Southern Confederacy who got ac-
quainted with his future wife here.
Hut it Is not In history but an Inci-
dent we wish to relate. Just before
the Mexican war. and when prepara- wort that the Russians sank four mer-
tlous were being nufcle to start for chpnt vessels In Port Arthur harbor
Mexico a number of non-commission
ed oflTcers. said to be seven met on
Garrison hill one fine night before
departure for the seat of war on the
morrow. It was rather a trying tlino
and to some to leave pleasant scenes
late companions and rttll dearer tlei
tehind perhnps forever. As was the
custom in those days many a conviv-
ial glass was drunk that night.
Hofore retiring tho seven frier.-
mot together at a spot in the wooiu
outside tho garrison grounds and took
a last parting glass after which they
buried what liquor they had on hand
In seven setttfXl jugs 'containing a
gallon each after which they agreed
to meet there again at the close of
the war and drink tcgether from the
buried whiskey but they never re
turned and so far as known the liq
uor has never been discovered nl-
though at various times search lias
been made by different parties as
numerous excavations in the vicinity
of the garrison will testify. Liquor
lovers say that the contents of the
jiis is great stuff by this time more
precious than a gold mine and hope
some dny to find It oven inembors of
the Muskogee Country Club in which
event there will be the greatest
"blow-out" at headquarters on Gnr-
ilson hill ever witnessed In this
country.
