Prophet’s Town Located.

Last Sunday Jadge R. P. DeHart and Alva O. Reeser, of Lv Fayette, drove up the Wabaah river north of that city for the purpose of marking the site of the home of the Prophet, brother of the famous Chief Teonmseh. It has long been thought that the location of what was known as “Phophet’e Town” was at or near the month of the Tippecanoe river but Judge DeHart and Mr. Reeser, after a thorough inveetigation of the matter, concluded this wae not the real looation, and they erected their marker a considerable distance down stream.
