New York, July 31.-Rev. Secretary
Ryder, of the Indian Department of tha
American Missionary Association, has
been in correspondence with the Inter
Tor Department concerning the Bannock
Indian uprising. As a result OF his in
vestigation of the matter, he says:
IF ever in the history Of our country
a protest ought to be raised by Chris
tian people against the slaughter Of tho
Indians. it is now. The Bannocks un-
der the laws of the general government
are allowed to hunt. The game laws
of Wyoming forbid this A party Of
Bannocks killed a lot OF game in Wyo-
ming Territory. They were arrested
and while being taken to jail, sixteen
of the seventeen were shot down in
their tracks unarmed. Those OF us
who know of the brutal character OF
many OF the white men that live in
this western territory and their in
tense hostility to the Indians, have
grave suspicion that this was planned
in order TO kill the Indians. General
Miles has given his testimony that the
Bannocks are among the most peaceful
and on The whole one Of the best tribes
% the prairie.
Governor Richards, Of Wyoming,
should at once enforce the laws against
the white men that We're the first ag-
greSsors and then bring the legal mat
ter into the courts.
IF the slayers of Indians are
promptly arrested and the Bannocks
know that they viii be impartially
tried and severely punished if found
guilty, the uprising Will at once be at
an end"
Secretary Ryder says he has received
assurances from the Department Of the
Interior that his opinion is correct as
to the lawless outrage upon the Indians
and this being the case there need be
no apprehension that the United States
troops there viii use harsh measures
against the Indians. No means within
the reach of the Department of the In
terror, he says, VIII be spared to bring
the guilty parties to Justice

being rapidly thinned out by the Grim

manufacturing and mercantile interests

was successful because of his sterling
integrity Of character and his business
sagacity. Some years ago he began to
feel the effects of his hard work and
close attention to business in early life,
and this, together with his advanced
age, caused him to retire from active
business.
The illness which terminated in his
death dates back about two weeks. At
that time he became i'll, but the direct
cause of his death was his extreme age.
He passed away peacefully, surrounded
by the members of his family.
Mr.. CulbertsOn was born at Cham
EAl 'DAl 50 ft.s Ill INC 4llOllL4l VI y ~ IL
1907, and was therefore in the seth year
of his age when he died. When he at
tained his majority, he decided to- go
farther west. and within a few months
located at Pittsburg. where he remained
for about three years. From Pittsburg
he removed to Wheeling, and he has
made his home here continuously since.
up to the time of his death.

No. Z Union street. The site is at
present occupied by the jeWelry store
of H. o. Hillman 6 Co. The firm

The firm succeeded, and Mr.. CulbertsOn
subsequently became sole proprietor of
the Star foundry on Market street now
Robert Luke's livery stable The foun-
dry burned in the latter sixties, and
several persons were killed by the fall
ing of the alley wall.
Later Mr.. Culbertson engaged in part
nership with the late Benjamin Fisher.
under the firm name of CulDerts0n &
Fisher, conducting the Star foundry,
corner Market and Seventeenth streets,
which subsequently, passed into the
hands OF Mr.. Fisher. He also conducted
foundry on First street, in Martins
Ferry, for a number of years.
Mr.. Culbertson was twice married.
His first wife was a Miss Greer, a sister Of
Mr.. J. r. Greer, and his second wife was
the only sister of Mr.. John r. Dickey.
Since retiring from business he has
made his home with his only son, Mr..
J. d. Culbertson, at Echo Point.
He was a man of deep religious con-
victions, an elder in the First Presby-
terian church OF this city, and also the
Martins Ferry Presbyterian church.
The funeral arrangements have been

and requested that he den0unce the
action of the young women from the
pulpit. he listenede TO them and said
nothing. Sundays services came and
Rev. Mr. WadswOrth never referred TO
boomers.
There was no end of gossip over the
pastors stand and everybody turned
ont to prayer meeting. expecting that
something would happen, and it did.
When 7.30 o'clock arrived the church
was crowded. and the minister was
waiting TO begin services. but the or
ganist. Miss Coleman. had not ar
rived. Tn a few minutes Miss Cole
man rode 10 the church on her wheel
wearing those red boomers. As She
strobe down the center aisle OF the
church murmurS of "Oh, my, How
shockngr and Mercy on MS" came
from every quarter. While the old peo-
nile shook their heads and sighed, the
Young ones giggled. Soon the old peo-

others followed. The meeting was end
