THE BENDER FAMILY.

Our informant, however, asserts that
they were recaptured by vigilantes, and
before their execution made a full adj
mission of their sickening crimes, and
that the facts and circumstances were
communicated to the family of DR.. York
and to Gov. Osborn. The fear of retri.
button on the part of the murderous
league with which the Blenders were be-
lieved to be associated and whose opera
tions extended through Southern Kan.
sas, prevented further publicity, and but
for the confession ofone who participated
in the lynching, and who was prompted
to narrate the occurrence under a con-
viction of his own impending death, the
fate of the Blenders would stilrh been
shrouded in mystery.
The above is the closing paragraph of
an article on the Bender murders in q
recent number of the Kansas City Jour
nal of Commerce. The article i'm ques-
ton is generally correct, but the Jour
nars in Dormant is mistaken in regard to
the lynching matter. The writer of this
lived at Thayer at the time of the discov.
cry of the Bender murders, and for year
or two thereafter, and never heard any in
timation that the Blenders were caught
and lynched, except from paragraphs
that have recently appeared in the col
umns of newspapers published at dis
lance from the locality where the crimes
we're committed. Besides, if Gov. o.
born knew of the lynching, it is
hardly probable that he would have
offered 8 heavy reward for the capture of
the murderers, or granted acquisitions
for their arrest and return to the State,
rs he did in more than one instance
while he was Governor. The story, we
are sorry to say, Is fraud, and we are
afraid it will be long time before We
shall be able to publish any well-authen-
ticated account of the lynching of the
Bender outfit.

The persons ARRESTED in Crawfoi d
County, Arkansas, as the Bender family,
proved to be Mr. Geo. Kiefor and FAM
from Washington County, Wisconsin.
An examination on q writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Parker at Fort
Smith developed this fact, and the pris.
oners were set at liberty. If the fool
killer ever passes through Kansas. and
the so-called detectives who have been
arresting Blenders here, there and every
where, escape somebody will be badly
too blame.

One Of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half mile or
more, and tin. quality is excellent, fur

teal purposes, as Is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less tinbered portion OF
the county coal OF fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will 10 doubt be devel-

TRUSTING THEM.-The Philadelphia
