with reference to the twelve men

in number in the penitentiary, for
disturbing the white man. OF course
it would appear on the surface that
the white people only killed in self
defense, even though they took the
lives of some who knew absolutely
nothing about the outbreak but were
out hunting. and taking in a vacation
and a family reunion. Such was the
fate Of the Johnstons, and am here
to tell there will come a reckoning
day. No white man punished in any
way, not even given the honor of be-
ing arrested, and these poor men have
been punished by the wholesale. Well,

Justice he will have his downfall, and

Death and Funeral of

Mr.. Henry s. Anderson of 64SC
Champlain Ave, passed away Satur-
day, Dec. 18th at the home OF his
Aunt, Mrs. Hooper of Baltimore,
MARYLAND. The news came as a shock
to his family and many friends in
Chicago as he had just left Chicago
the day before to visit his old home
and relatives there. He became i'll
after the train had pulled out of Har-
risburg, Pa, and died within five
hours after reaching his destination.
Mr.. Anderson had been a resident
of Chicago since 1884 and for over
80 years had served in different posi-
tions of trust and responsibility with
the Northwestern Railroad. When
the present Northwestern Depot was
opened the Chicago Daily News de-
voted a column to the life and work
of Henry s. Anderson and then stated
that as a reward for long and faith
full service he had been appointed
Chief Usher at the new depot.
In the many years of his residence
in Chicago he had been identified with
many organizations for uplift and
race betterment, either as founder
or charter member and had held
many Offices of trust and honor. The
many and beautiful floral offerings at
the funeral service which were held
