TOMAHAWK OF TECUMSEH.
Famous Indian Carried in Battle of the
Thames In 1912.

Thames In 1912.
Sarah L. Russell, who lives with her
daughter. Mrs. e. H. Belts, at 1413
East Sixteenth street, Kansas City, has
the tomahawk carried by Tecumseh,
when he was killed at the battle Of the
Thames in October, 1912. Col. William
Russell, the founder of Russellville,
KY, who commanded the Kentucky
contingent of that famous battle. was
permitted by Gen. Harrison to remove
the tomahawk from the dead body OF
Tecumseh and retain it, and it has been
in the possession Of the Russell family
ever since. 1t was made in England,
and presented to Tecumseh by the
British commander at Detroit. Sew
eral hundred towahawks were made In
England and sent to the British COM
manders at Detroit for use among the
Indians whom the British endeavored
to induce to drive out the white set
tiers of Kentucky, Indiana and Michi-
gan With few exceptions these TOM
ahawks were made rather rudely OF
iron. with the handles bound with
bands Of the same metal, but the one
owned by Tecumseh was made OF high
ly polished steel, with silver bands en-
circling the handle. 1t can also be
used as pipe for smoking, the blum
end of the blade being made like the
bowl of a pipe and the handle answer.
ing the purpose of stem. The Brit
ish commander had several Of them
made after. the pattern, which he pre-.
sented to Tecumseh, the prophet "a
brother Of Tecumseh), Ketopah and
TOpanabee, celebrated Indian warrior
chiefs, who bore a conspicuous part in
the battles of Tippecanoe, the siege OF
Fort Harrison, the battle Of the Raisin,
and other noted battles which took
place in Indiana and Michigan and
along Lake Michigan while the British
held possession Of Detroit and were
using the Indians as their allies in the
endeavor to hold the west and north
west country. The Tecumseh toma'
hawk is the only one known to have
been preserved. Mrs. Russell has had
many offers to part with 1T, but the
relic will probably remain with her
descendants for many years to come
Mrs. Egbert Russell, soon after 1t came
into the possession of her husband
showed it to Blue Jacket, well-known
Shawnee chief, who was then over ~
years old. The old chief went into
ecstasies when told that the relic was
taken from the dead body oflTecumseh
He kissed it and pressed it to his bosom
and told Mrs. Russell he was too young
to follow his grand chief, Tecumseh, in
the warpath, but he we'll remembered
how proud Tecumseh wasrwith that
tomahawk belted about his waist

BY His yictim-Other State Happenings
The death of William W. Watts at the
hands of mob, at Newport News. signal
ICES the initial execution of white man ior
felonious assault in Virginia, legally or
otherwise The crime that invoked moo
vengeance was peculiarly astrocious. Inc
victim was the benefactress Of her assallant,
having fed him, although stranger, wneh
he first appeared begging for charity three
weeks ago, after reaching Newport News
penniless from Lynchburg, where his father
is policeman. Watts was % years old, I'M
married, professional gambler, and comes
of respectable family with extensive rela-
tionship throughout the State. He visited
the house Of Mrs. Thomas NJ. Simpson, who
had befriended him when he was in desti-
tute circumstances telling her he was about
to leave the city and stating that he desired
to thank her before going away. Watts had
made stake" at his calling during his
sojourn, and Mrs. Simpson failed to recog-
nize in the well-dressed man the mendi,ant
upon whom she had bestowed aims three
weeks before. She conversed with him for
few minutes at the door, and then retired
into the hallway. He followed, seized her
by the throat forced hor into the sitting
room and overpowered her after desperate
struggle. Watts was captured on board the
special train OF G. p. Huntington as II was
leaving Newport News for Richmond ara
lodged in JAIL Three masked men entered
the stationhouse at o'clock and forced the
Tailor at the point Of pistols to surrender the
keys. Four compaLi ions received Wats
when he was carried cut and hurried nm
away. first to the house OF Mrs. Simpson,
who identified him. and then to the OUTSKIRTS
of the city. where mob Of several hundred
men was congregated. He was bound ny
the waist to slpling and his body riddied
with bullets. 1t had been intended to hang
him. but the only rope with which the party
was provided proved too short to go over
any convenient limb. The rope with which
the body of the victim was bound was cut
up and distributed among the onlooKers.
The culprit was executed in Warwick county.
The county authorities claimed that IT was
city affair. and should be cared for by the
| city. The county coroner was sick In ped.
| The remains of Watts hung limp and sus-
| pended by the arms to a tree until late IN the
| forenoon. when the city coroner summoned
| Jury and viewed the body. The verdict
was: wv. W. Watts came to his death on the
9Th day of January, 1900, from pistol shot
wounds in the body, the pistol or pistols be-
ing in the hand or hands Of a person or per-
| sons unknown to the jury"

captured all of the American prisoners, IN

The sweeping statements made IN the
dispatches to the effect that all ofthe Amer

aroused hope that in the list will appear
the names of some OF the officers and prl-
Yates of the army who are set down upon
the army rolls as missing. Prominent among
the missing army officers was Maj. Charles
NJ. Rockefeller, of the Ninth Infantry. This
officer advanced beyond the lines during the
