THE OZARK HORSE. The term
"dark horse" which is now recognized
as a pat expression in the language OF
politics, is said to have originated in
Tennessee. A sly old chap named Sam
Flynn travelled about the State years ago
with "Dusky Pete" coal-black stallion,
shambling along as if it was only "a
likely hoss" until he had fixed his bets,
when "Dusky Pete" swept around the
track like the flyer that he really was.
Flynn had arranged his bets at one such
country race, when Judge McMinamee,
who was the turf oracle Of that part OF
the State, arrived on the course and was
made one of the Judges. As he took his
place in the stand he was told how the
betting ran, and of the folly of the owner
of the strange entry in backing hi
"plug" SO heavily. Running his ey'
over the track, the judge instantly re
cognized "Pete," and he said: "Gsntie
men. there's a dark horse in this rae
that will make some of you smell hell be
fore supper" The Judge was right
"Pete," the "dark horse, laid back un
til the three-quarter pole was reached
when he went to the front with rush
, and won the purse and Flynn's bets wit
the greatest ease. After Flynns tl1c
became known, racing men were AWAY
on the outlook for dark horse. ~

THE TERRIBLE RECORD OF
THE BENDRRs.

OMAHA, August IA reporter who
spent the afternoon with Mrs. Bender,
also called on the old man, who, under
the delusion that his wife had escaped,
told the whole story of his life, corrobor-
ating the old woman's confession. He
described the killing of man in Illinois
and the murders in Kansas exactly as the
woman told it. He makes no secret Of
being Bender. He gives a complete his
tory of John Bender and of Kate and
Maggie. Bender made the following
statement: My name is Alex. Gregor. /
was born in the State of New York, and |
lived there till married my first wife.
When I married her she had one child |
called William Houck, begotten in
adultery. After being married to me two
weeks John Bender, my son, was born.
We then moved to Illinois, where Kate
was born. Kate and John were good
children, but ran away when II years old
and went to Kansas. My first wife died
in Illinois, of consumption. After two
years married my second wife. She
| had children. Her name was Nancy
Peasley. Her children all died. had
no children by my second wife. While
living in Illinois 1 committed my first
murder. l killed a short dark-haired
man and sent him down to the cellar
through trap-door ! got some money
from him, and buried him back of the
house about two rods. The old woman
helped to bury him. then went to In
dependence, Iowa, and worked on farm
at my trade, blacksmithing. After a
while 1 went to Kansas. had heard
from Kate and John, who wrote me to
come on. l went to Kansas to live with
them. Maggie and her cousin were then
at place called Bender's Hotel. After
being there few days I helped John to
make trap-door the same as II had in
, Illinois. The first man we killed would
not go on the trap door. He and Kate
slept together, and she killed him with q
butcher knife. She showed me the knife,

a TERHIBLE DEATH.


Last Sunday moraing two nlen started
out from McKinneys, Lake Tahoe, to
look for Luigi Barmetto, an italian sheep
herder who had been missing two days.
The Virginia Chronicle has this thrilling
account of the discovery they made:
After about two hours search, Marston |
shouted to his companion, who scrambled |
across the ravine and hurried in the |
direction of the sound. In small open
ing, not far from . huge pile of rocks,
Martin was standing almost unnerved by
terror, pale and trembling. A few bones,
shreds of clothing, large tuft Of curly
black hair and q shoe were scattered
about the ground, CHASTITY evidences of
the horrible fate that had overtaken the
unfortunate italian. The manner in
which he met his death was plain; at one
side of the opening there was a tree about
the size of mans leg, the bark Of which
was torn to shreds at least eight feet
from the ground, one of the lower limbs
being ripped off also. The ground about
the roots was loose showing that some
animal of tremendous strength had
shaken the tree and bent it over. What
this animal had been was only too plainly
indicated by the enormous footprints
near tho tree and in two or three soft
spots of ground in the opening. The
italian had undoubtedly encountered a
large grizzly and climbed the tree to
escape the monster The chambers of
his pistol, which was found by Wardrup
about ten feet from the tree, were empty,
showing that he had defended himself as
well as he could, or perhaps he considered
himself safe in the tree, and had enraged
the bear by firing at him. The latter
supposition seems the most probable.
Whatever the cause of the animals rage
he had grasped the tree in his giant arms
and shaken it with such fury as to throw
the italian to the ground where the in
furiated, and perhaps famished monster
made short and bloody work of the poo
fellow. Wardrup asserts that the track
of the bear were the largest that he ha'
ever seen, and that two outside toes fror
one foot were missing. When the tw
men discovered this, it occurred to ther
that Old Brin might be in the vicinity
and knowing, from many tales, the fero'
ity of this gigantic bear, they made tn
best speed possible out Of the wood
taking with them the tuft Of curly ha
as memento of the horrible fate of Lui
Barmetto.
GOLD BRIN" AGAIN HEARD FROM.
Wardrups belief that Old Brin was Il
particular bear is perhaps correct, as Il
following communication to the Cars'
Appeal indicates that the bear is st
alive:
