How THE BENDER MURDERS WERE Con-
MTrrED.-rh, Bender family of Kansas have
discovered perhaps the most merciful system of
murder, ana if we must have murders let lis, by
ali means, have system which We have not
yet seen noticed.
1t is this: Their cabin was arranged as a place
Of entertainment for travellers.
IA sheet was hung across it,dividine il into two
compartments, When single traveller arrived
lie was seated at table so that the outline of
his form was defined upon the sheet, and in
case he feared back, his head pressed against
ms elastic as well as transparent bukhead.
huer ms chair, unknown to him, was trap
door. f
The male iiend, stationed on the outer side
OF the Sheet watched for the pressure of the vic
TIM head against it, and striking stunning
blow with hammer on the back of the skull,
slipped the spring of the trap-door, thus dump
ing the body into the cellar, where his wife
kniie in hand, stood ready 10 end the work
Nlchoias Mindon, supposed accomplice Of
the Bender ianlly, was arrested in Texas. but
committed suicide before reaching the State
where the atrocities, in which he no doubt bore
a part, were committed. He promised to make
a confession, hut he was allowed to have a MIS-
toi III his possession, strange enough, with
which he shot himself
There seems TO be no doubt but that lbe Rem
ders were in Texas where Mindon was arrest
cd, and were making their way into Mexico.
oihce the foregoing was in type il is also an
nounced that two members of the family. had
been arrested in Iowa on Saturday, the mother
AT oxiord and the son al West Liberty. There
Is SAID TO be no doubt of their identity.

TERRIBLE STORM IN IowA.-CnrcAGo,
ILL.,, May 25.-Dispatches from Iowa give full
details OF the terrible cyclone OF Thursday.
Scarcely dwelling or barn is left In its track.
The town of Lancaster Is entirely demolished.
The cyclone started near that city, and advanced
north-easterly passing north Of Tallyrand
through the German settlement of Bander. It
approached the line Of Washington County,
where 1t jumped distance Of about eight miles.
1t swept along the ground for six or eight
miles, and then disappeared in the middle ofthe
township as suddenly as 1t had appeared.
The fright of the people renders them unable
TO give satisfactory account Of the tornado.
Those who witnessed II saw timber, cattle,
sheep, mud, and trees W hin led into the air with
terrific force. Many saved their lives by going
into cellars. Some who considered themselves
safe In their dwellings found themselves spraw-
ling on the ground In an instant, the house be-
ing thrown over by the tornado.
Boards and heavy timbers were driven into
the ground so tightly as to be immovable. Dead
horses. cattle, and hogs are visible OH all sides,
and chickens were found without feathers.
On the farm of John Cunningham 800 head
of stock were killed outright. His family went
into the cellar at the approach of the storm, but
were lifted out and thrown en- the ground by
the wind. Mr.. Davids, of the next farm east of
Cunninghan's, was killed, Mr.. Hansell, who
was with him at the time, received injuries from
which he died Friday. Ali Of his clothing was
torn from his person.
The stumps OF tees over VIII ich the cyclone
passed have the appearance Of being sawed of
clean and smoothly.
A school-house containing the teacher and
twenty pupils was torn to pieces. The dau gh-
ter of Henry Rathmail was carried quarter OF
mile, where her mangled body was found al.
most nude. Miss Smith and six scholars were
badly injured. Mud was blown with such force
in their faces as to leave the appearance Of tat
tooing with India ink, and it cannot be washed
out.
Mrs.-Walters was instantly killed near the
school house. She had twin babies in her arms
whern found, one Of which died from injuries
received on Thursday while the other escaped
unhurt, Two Others of Mrs. Walters children
who were in the school-house at the time, were
fatally injured. Orchards were completely de.
stroyed. Aman named Baker, who was driv.
ing team of mules, saw the storm approach.
ing, and took refuge under hedge, frcm whence
man, wagon, and team were taken up and
carried quarter of a mile into the field. Baker
escaped uninjured.
Pieces of hail found weighed seven ounces
aud were nine inches In circumference, and
some still larger are reported having been found
A flock of $50 sheep, huddled together, was tax
ell up by the storm, carried half mile, and
when they struck the earth oil but forty vert
| actually corn to fragments and scattered along
the route of the cyclone.
| Very little definite information has been r.,
ce ived from Keokuk County, but it is known
that Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Endleberger, AMI
| three children were killed. The loss Of proper
ty is estimated at 500 900.
