Bender family who have committed so many
murders in Kansas. Tho woman denies that
they are Benders but the old man admits
that he was at Bender's six weeks, and
explains his presence there by saying he stopped
while cn route for the east from Fort Lincoln.
He saw six people murdered when at Bcnder's
house; one entire family was killed, two
children being buried alive. It is fully believed
by all who have seen them that, if the genuine
Blenders are not captured, at least two inn
portant witnesses have been secured. The

and thinks he has got q clew to the where
abouts of young John Bender.

Kansas visited the two prisoners in the Jail at

recognized him, and the man admitted that he
was the senior Bender, and that he assisted at
some of the buking that was done at his house.

but confcsscs 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 Blenders 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 no be-
came very angry, and cursed them roundly.

Our Railroad Prospects.
Callahan Clarendon

Our railroad prospects are frightening
every day; every mail confirms us in the
opinion that if the road does not touch our
enterprising little .town that it will not come
near enough to do any damage at all. By
private communication from party who
had been in conversation with an advance
prospecting enginee-, now on the west
side of the Brazos, we learn that
it is quite certain that the road will
be built on the north line after leaving
the head of Palo Pinto creek and that the
locating party will within two weeks make
the fact public by their locating the line
there. This line is the one recommended by
Washburn, who personally inspected it, and
tho one that leaves our little sister, Albany,
about nine miles to the north This would
place this road at least twenty-five miles
north of Belle Plain. Her citizens ask
nothing better unless it would be the conf
dence Of two roads at this place.
