Tanners Fast. .


experienced no nausea since midnight, and
his face altogether is pinched and drawn,
and his ewes look FESTIVE. His temper is
irritable, and the crowd of spectators annoy
him. The usual drive failed to benefit him,
and he says he will give up going out until
the end of the fast. During the morning he
drank at intervals less than half pint of
Croton and mineral water. He is now in the
thirty-seyenth day.
SECOND DISPATcHI
New YORK, August 3d.-Dr. Tanner read
his mail at o'clock, and over some queer
letters he hal good laugh. He then dozed
until o'clock, when he vomited @small
quantity of matter. Soon after he got up and
went to get shaved, four watchers following
him to the BARRIERS shop. After an hours
absence the party returned to the hall, and
the Doctor said he felt first rate. He looked
much stronger than previously. At 7:40 in
the evening the Doctor had another attack Of
nausea, and vomited a small quantity of
frethy liquid devoid of bile. He passed the
time between this and 9 o'clock receiving vis-
itors, all of whom were asked to retire as soon
as they got a good look at him. He COM
planned Of the annoyance of being stared at.
Between and O'Clock he drank an ounce of
spring water, and entered into a discussion as
to the genuineness of the DIR. Sims cable from
Paris. which DR.. Hammond considers bogus.
At o'clock he retired for the night. At mid
night he was apparently in a sound sleep
He consumed about two-thirds of pint of
water during the twenty-four hours then

more to fast.
THIRD DIsPATcH.l
New YORK, August 4th-A. M.-At /
o'clock this morning DR.. Tanner was peace
fully sleeping, being well wrapped up in
blankets on. account of the chilliness in the
atmosphere following to-day's storm. -Four
medical gentlemen were closely watching the

sensation at Omaha-The Bender .BusI.
OMAHA, August 3d.-This morning quite a
sensation was created here by the arrest Of a
party, supposed to be John Bender, Jr.. and
family. They had a gray horse, bay mule
and a covered wagon. The man, wife and
three children were .sunburned and dark as
gypsies. Upon Investigation, however, they
gave a good account of themselves. They
said they came from johnson City, Kansas,
last year, crossed the Missouri river at
Omaha and went to Minnesota. They re-
Gently returned via Sioux City and Ne
braska City, and were now en- route to
Illinois. They and their outfit in many re
spects answer to the description of young
Bender's party and outfit. They were dis
charged and soon departed. w. II. Riley,
of this city, is positive that he saw the Ben
der party between Crescent and Council
Bluffs last evening, as he was on his way
home to this city. He informed Sheriff Guy,
and to- day Riley left for Crescent again to
make search. 1t is generally thought that
the young Blenders are now in Western Iowa,
within radius of forty or fifty miles of
Council Bluffs. A letter received here to-day
would seem to lead to the conclusion that old
Bender and wife had no one with them, and
that their name is McGregor after all, and
possibly old Bender has not been captured,
tut that the pri oner's story that he hal p ned
to be sick at Bender's while the numbering
was going on may be true. The letter is as
follows:
GAINESVILLE (Neb.), August 3, 1880.
The old couple arrested at Fremont, supposed to
be the Bender butchers of Kansas, passed here ON
the 18th of July on foot, going east. did not see
any others with them. The same couple passed up
west through here on foot in May 1879. They
stopped at my house night said they were 60
ing up to northwest Nebraska to take up land
claims; said their name was McGregor The old
man called his woman Nancy McGregor.
C. J. s. DURHAM.
1t will be borne in mind that the old man
has all along maintained that his name Is
N6NeTLutlcSS ne las
ed himself in many ways, and o.day the bs-
lief is stronger than ever that he is the oriei-
nal old Bender. He and the old woman Will
be given most rigid examination. Thy
are to have their pictures taken.
