The BENDER Family Again.


An old man and young woman who were
arrested neal Fremont, Neb., ON the 29th nlt.,
are supposed to be members Of the notorious
Bender family who have committed SO many
murders in Kansas. The woman denies that
they are Bcnders but the old man admits
that he was at Bender's six weeks, and
explains his presence there by saying he stopped
while en- route for tho east from Fort Lincoln.
He saw six people murdered when OF Bender's
house; one entire family was killed, two
children being buried alive. It is fully believed
by all who have seen them that, il the genuine
Benders are not captured, at least two inn
portant witnesses have been secured. The
sheriff believes he has got the genuine Benders,
and thinks he has got clew to the where
abouts Of young John Bender.
A man who used to know the Benders in
Kansas visited the two prisoners in the Jail at
Fremont, Neb., on the 8lst nh. Both of them
recognized him, and the man admitted that he
was the senior Bender, and that he assisted at
some of the burking that was done at his house.
The woman denies that she is Bender's wife,
but confesses guilt by saying that she will try
to save her neck by telling all she knows. She
says the old woman was left in Indian Territory,
in 1873, when the Benders abandoned their
team. The old man was told that John and
Kate had been caught, and had charged him
with being the chief criminal At this he be-
came very angry, and cursed them roundly.
