A Chinese Romance,

All Tung, an enterprising China
man, bestowed his affections on
Miss Lin Choy, a beautiful Chinese
damsel Oftwenty-three years. They
met under the stars and pledged
eternal constancy, but the course of
true love ran its usual crooked
course, and the fascinating All Tung
found that Miss Choy could not be-
come Mrs. Tung unless he paid for
her in filthy lucre, 5000 being the
price demanded. All Tung ex-
pressed such a strong dislike to this
arrangement that the guardians of
Miss Choy thought best to remove
her from her residence in the clas-
sic precincts OfStout alley to a more
secure mansion on Sacramento
street. There the fair one was put
under lock and key, and the dis
tressed lover walked around discon-
solately looking for his mate. He
at last found out her retreat, and
not wishing to be deprived of her So
ciety, sued out a writ of habeas cor-
pus, and this morning she appeared
before Judge Morrison. The Judge
found out the state of affairs and
asked the blushing damsel if she

Harvest-1874.

Reports from every section of this
region of country give assurance of
an abundant harvest Of grain and
fruit. A very large area of soil was
sown in wheat last fall, and at this
time the fields promise q rich yield.
Fruit growers tell us that the tar
dy approach of warm, growing
weather has materially increased
the chances for a plentiful supply Of
peaches. The buds are not vet far
enough advanced to be susceptible
of injury from frost, and before the
spring sunshine can develop them
into blossoms the season for frosty
weather will have passed.
Iii Is a noteworthy fact that far
mers hereabouts are in better con-
dition financially than they usually
are at this season of the year. Deal
ers in agricultural implements and
other merchants whose transactions
bring them into daily contact with
rural customers, inform US that the
farmers are meeting their obliga-
tons this spring on time, in fact
paying their debts more promptly
than ever before.-LedpeawOrth

The P~ater-familias Of Kansas
Butchers-The Junior Bender
also Captured.
rsalt IaLe Herald, loth.l

[salt Lake Herald, 10th.
Yesterday the scene around the
city Jail was one of intense excite
ment and clamor, the object which
drew the crowd to that point being
the supposed old man Bender. At
early morn the people began to
flock to the city hall, and by ten
o'clock the opportunities Of the
crowd to see the greatest murderer
of modern times became SO great
that the jailor to quiet and crafty
them, threw open the Jail and ex-
hibited the accused. The curiosity
to see the author of so many crimes
was not confined TO the male por-
ton Of mankind only, as the ladies
were seized with the same desire,
and during the day dozens of the
weaker sex called at the classic
establishment and gazed on the
man-if he be a Bender-who has
done enough in this world to entitle
him to a front seat during a portion,
at least, of eternity, in the domin-
ions of his Satanic Majesty.
The old man was calmer yester-
day than on the day previous, and
talked with greater freedom and
could be better understood than on
the day Of bus arrival. He stated
Omaha daily bee., 1874-04-17

to a German who was in the cell
with him for some time that he had
been engaged in farming in Kansas,
but said nothing else that would in
dictate that he was a Bender. Du-
ring the day two gentlemen visited
him who had known him in former
years, and they both recognized him
as being the much sought after
Kansas butcher. One gentleman
who was in the Pike county (IIl.)
Clerks Office i'm 1867, immediate
ly recognized the accused as
being the man who had taken out
letters of administration i'm Pike
county i'm the name of John L.
Bender, on the estates of his brother
in-law, II Schmidt. The gentle
man above named made out the
papers and saw Bender frequently
during that year, 1857, after which
the latter moved to Kansas. A
former Indian agent of Kansas,
who formerly knew Bender, saws
the right man is captured. With
this strong evidence it can scarcely
be doubted that the great criminal,
who has eluded officers and detec-
tives for the past year, has at last
stumbled into the clutches of the
law, and is now a prisoner in the
city Jail.
One day, when the old man was
in the Manti Jail, Saupete county,
another strange looking German APP
peared there and asked permission
t. see the accused. His request was
granted, and the two had a long and
confidential interview. The Sheriff
who had charge of the Jail said the
meeting of the men was most cor
dial, and that they appeared to talk
on a subject with which they
were both acquainted. The German
left town the next day as myster::.
ously as he had appeared in it. The
of his visit
M of the deputy sheriffs,
Sewer county, the latter conclud-
ed that the German stranger was
young Bender, and started in search
him. He followed him to Nephi,
Juab county, where he overlook
and arrested him. He is now there,
and this morning Deputy Sheriffs
and Foutz, of Sewer
county, go to bring him to this city.
They expect to return on Saturday
Sunday.
Should these two Germans be the
male portion of the Bender family,
t would not be an improbable oc-
,urrence if the female members of
he murderous q%uartstte were dis
covered ere long i'm the vicinity.
