Indian Grares Found in Shenandoah
May Shed Ne,v Light on History
Bureau of American EthnOlOgy Assigns Man to Make
Preliminary Investigation of Finds at Strass-
burg and Berryrille.
Wide World Photo.

the bodies were buried with the feet
to the south. Pipes. arrow heads and
typical Indian ornaments also were
plouEhed up. Baker called the atten-
tion of local specialists in Indian lore
to this find and these notified DR..
Fewkes.
Washed Up by Flood.
The second find was much larger and
will be investigated first. The recent
flood waters of the Shenandoah un-
earthed what is believed to have been
an old Indian cemetery on the farm
of Felix McAlanus, retired Washing
ton newspaper man, near Berryville.
Arrow heads and a tomahawk were
picked up. The center grave, around
which the others seemed to be group
ed, contained one skeleton measuring g
seven and a half feet.
DR.. Fewkes has assigned a man to
make a preliminary survey of both
graveyards and TO send some of the
SkeIetal remains to Washington. If
the results justify he then may go to
superintend more extensive excava-
tionS.
Were Probably Powhatans.
Dr. Fewkes indicated that the skele-
tons, if they really were those of
early Indians instead of whites. prob
ably were PowhatanS, the tribe which
the white men found in possession of
this section at the time of the James
town colony. This tribe was among
the most picturesque and advanced of
all the North American Indians.
Several years ago an extensive study
was made of them and some of the
most beautiful legends of primeval
America were uncovered by the late
James Mooney, at the time of his
death the worlds greatest expert on
Virginia Indians Since that time,
however, there have been no skeletai
finds of sufficient Importance to war
rant extensive excavations.

HELD ON THEFT CHARGE.
Colored Man Denies Taking Part in
Alleged Robbery.

Two men, one white and the other
colored, entered the fourth precinct
police station early today and told
conflicting stories to Desk Sergt De-
laney. George A. Cavanaugh. 483
Maryland avenue southwest, accused
Lewis Johnson, I'll Pleasant court
southwest, colored, of having par
ticipated in holding UP and robbing
him of s19.
Johnson, very much surprised,
thought Cavanaugh was joking, he
said. but Cavanaugh was so positive
in his assertion that Lieut.. Holmes
decided to detain Johnson until a fur
ther investigation could be made.
Cavanaugh's statement was that he
was held up near Az and c streets
southwest by three colored men, one
holding him and the others taking
his money. The prisoner said Cava-
naugh requested him to show him
where the station was and when he
reached there insisted upon his en-
tering the building with him. john
son said he certainly would not have
entered the station if he had par
ticipated in the reported robbery.

BOND JUMPER CAUGHT,
TO BE RETURNED HERE
S. E. Severn Found in Ocean Falls.
Prince Rupert Island, to
Be Deported.

Stafford Eustace Severn. thirty
four, alleged dope and rum runner
from New York. arrested in this city
in July, 1922, by Detectives Sanders
and Evans of the narcotic squad. and
released on $4,000 bonds. is under ar
rest at Ocean Falls. Prince Rupert
Island. British Columbia, having been
taken into custody last Friday as
result of efforts made by Joseph A.
Torillo, bondsma Officials of the
bureau of immigration took up the
!! investigation and learned that the
prisoner could not be surrendered un-
der the terms of the treaty, but as an
undesr able citizen he could be de-
ported. and it was decided to deport
him next Friday.
Detective Bernard w. Thompson
left here last night on a trip to Van
couver, B. c., where the prisoner is
expected to be formally surrendered
to him as an agent of the bureau of
immigration. Bondsman Torillo al
ready has spent approximately $4,000
in his efforts to accomplish the recap
ture of the man who was released on
the bond he furnished and which he
jumped, and it is probable that he will
spend much more than the amount of
the bond before Severn is lodged in
the District Jail.

The bureau of American ethnology
of the Smithsonian Institution will
investigate in a few days what may
prove two of the most important dis
coveries yet made Of relics of the
Indian tribes who roamed over the
site of Washington at the time when
the first white men visited this sec
ton.
Both discoveries as reported to DIR.
j. Walter Fewkes. director Of the
bureau. were accidental. The first
was made by Robert Baker a farmer
near Strassburg, Va, while ploughing
d high field near Shady Creek. He
uncovered seven skeletons. At first he
did not attach especial significance
to this because the field was near the
battle-ground of Cedar Creek. in the
civil war, and itw as assumed that the
skeletons were those of slain soldiers.

was fought on nearly the same site,
and further Investigations showed
that the bodies had been buried with
ceremonies typical of the early Indian
tribes.
Food Jars at Head.
Each body had been drawn up in a
cramped position and thrust into the
grave. Beside each skull was a jar.
elaborately decorated with primeval
religious symbols, which once had
been filled with food to sustain the
ghost in his cold passage between
two worlds. Beside the remains of
one skeleton, the bones of which
indicate that it was that of an aged
warrior, was the skeleton of a dog,
evidently a favorite hunter buried
with his master.
The graves were in a zig gag posi-
tion in relation to each other. All
