According 10 Capt. webster, Oh inc
city police force, the lessee OF the Gar

make a more valuable ''antique hnd'' IN
the y,,uuds OF that historic building than
the "discoVery" made by the Smith
sonian Institution officials and the Wash
ington newspaper men iu the cellar OF
that house. The captain has told the
lessee. that he is convinced that the body
of the famous Indian Chief Tecumseh
is buried in the garden to the east OF the
house. 1t is well known fact, which
can be attested by hundreds of Alexan
drians that costume worn by Tecum-
sch was for many yeare exhibited 10 the
old Alexandria Museum and was de-
stroyed when the museum, which oc-
cupied a place in the old city market
house. was burned in 1871. There lie q
tradition that many years before this
costume came into the possession OIL the
pale faces, the body OF Tecumseh was
borne By anumber of faithful attendants
In an easterly direction to the brow OF
the hill on what now stands the Carlyle
House and there, in an entirely different
costume, in grave eighteen feet east and
west il was deposited at low noon at the
foot of large cherry tree. No sPrig OF

of their chief had become a part OF the
