ployes,. 516 killed, LAO injured. The

coupling and uncoGpling cars were,
killed, 214; injured, 6,2s3. The CORE
spending figures for the year ending
June 30, 1896, were 229 killed and S,457
injured. The casualties from coupling
and uncoupling cars were assigned as
follows: Train men, killed, 147; in
jured, 4,69s; switchmen, fagmen, and

Il employed. One passenger was killed
for every 2,2O4,7O8 carried, and in
jured for every 175,115 carried. Basing
ratios upon the number Of miles trav-
eled, it appears that 55,211 ,440 passen-

Death OF an Aged Couple.

Died at the residence, one and a
half miles southeast of Locust
Grove, 1. r., Oct. 2Stht 1898, at 6
o'clock, P. NJ, Hon. Redbird Six
killer, in the 91st year.
In the death of "Uncle" Red
bird a connecting link with the
past history Of the Cherokee ma
ton has been secured and a notable
landmark has been removed. A
prominent man of a prominent
family has been taken and large
circle OF relatives mourn his loss.
The father Of the deceased, Capt.
Sixkiller (In-tahl-te.hu) was a
leader among the Cherokees dur
ing their removal from Georgia
and settled 5 miles west of Cinci:
natti Ark, where he raised large
family, mostly of boys who subse-
quently occupied positions of re-
sponsibility and trust it the coun-
sells of their Nation. The de-
ceased filled with credit many po-
sitions in the legislative branch of
government and in 1869-70 was
elected special supreme Judge to
adjudioate the claims of disputed
citizens.
Uncle Redbird in his early
manhood :was a member in good
standing Of the Missionary Baptist
church, in his later years on ac-
count of greater convenience, he
identified himself with the Cum
berland Presbyterians.
To add to the sorrows of the
stricken family and neighbors the
newly made widow ofthe deceased,
Aunt Lirrin Sixkiller, followed
her husband within thirty-six
hours of his death, and they were
laid side by side in the family
graveyard to await the ressurrec-
tion of the dead.
They softly lie and sweetly sleep
Low in the ground.
Peace to their ashes. May chill
dren, grand children and great
grand children follow their good
example. ]. F. THOMPSON.
