An INTERESTING STORY OF LErE ii TIE
WILD WEST.

Interest concerning the fate Of the
famous Bender family, consisting of
father mother and daughter, is reviv-
ed BY The publication in q Local paper,
Cleveland, Chic, OF what IS alleged to
be an exposition Of their mysterious
disappearance. Several years ago the
Benlals ran q tavern in lonely spot
on Kansas prairie, where travellers
were taken il, robbed, murdered and
buried in tie back yard. The fcnds
finally became suspected ard sudden
!; disappeared, since which time none
of them have ever been heard from.
The matter was placed in the hands
OF y Chicago detective, who, it is
claimed, las been successful il unrav-
elling the mystery. The vigilants
surrounded the home Of the Benders,
captured the two Old people, dragged
them out upon the prairie and cut
their throats. Kate, the daughter,
disguised herself in her fathers buck
skin suit and escaped. She drifted
west, Joined band Of cowboys and
participated in many drunken and
murderous sprees. Her sex was final
ly suspected, and she fled to Chicago,
from whence she proceeded to Nicbi-
gan, where she IS now cooking on a
farm. The detective it is asserted, is
only waiting to work out few minor
details when Kate will be arrested.
Much of her former beauty has been
destroyed, but enough remains to en-
able those skilled in tracing protlaits
to easily recognize the woman who
years ago was connected with some Of
the most horrible and cold blooded
crimes on record.-Ercning Fisi!or.

when she snapped at him again, bat
her pistol failed to shoot. Steedly
fell Just outside the door aud died al

now under arrest.
The affair arose from the circulat-
ion weeks ago by Steedley, of some
reports damaging to the character OF
Miss Connolly, and for which he had
been horsewhipped by her brother
and a friend. A few days after the
publication of this encounter, in a
card in the Neaus and Courier, Steedly
reiterated his remarks. which led to
his being killed. As far as is known,
the sympathy Of the community hes
with the young lady.

CLEvELAND'S PERIL.

"Needle" Ice Cholxes Up the Outlets of
the Water-Wori<s Tunnel in the Forest
City-The Water Supply Completely Shut
OR-Manufacturing Establishments Com
PEELED to Suspend WoriS-Tiie City in
Great Danger in Case of Fire.
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 15.-There is inn
minent danger of a water famine here
For two or three days large quantities Of
fine or needle ice has been drawn into
the tunnel leading from the lake
crib to the pumping station.
There are four pumps, with
combined daily capacity OF 100000
gallons. At twelve O'Clock Wednesday
night it was found Necessary to shut down
one of these pumps, and another was COM
PEELED to stop work at daylight yesterday
morning because OF the ice.
The two big pumps which were kept at
work at intervals during the Afternoon were
shut down last evening, thesupply of water
having been cut OFF entirely. The cause Of
the stoppage as given by the water-@o Iks
officials, is that the standpipe which
leads into the tunnel out at the crib,
and not the tunnel itself, is choked with ice.
Five men have been at work all day trying
to dislodge the obstruction, but thus far
without avail. The task is difficult one
for the reason that it requires the services
of diver. There is only q small amount
of water in the reserv oirs, and the supply is
virtually exhausted The West and South
sides are without water, and this is the
case with the east side except on streets
along the direct mains from the resery oirs.
People who have wells are using the water
thertirom, and those who are fortunate
enough to possess a cistern drink rain
water. Others are compelled to melt
snow.
Manufacturing establishments that de-
pend on city water for their boilers were
shut down, and tonight water is being
hauled from the river and lake to supply
establishments that must run at night.
The city is in perilous position. Should
a fire break out in the business part the de-
partment could do nothing with it. They
could get no water, and the only apparatus
that could be called into service would be
two or three chemical engines.
At eleven o'clock last night the water
works officials had given up all hopes Of
removing the ice from the stand-pipe be-
fore to-day. The pipe is ninety feet m
height and nine feet in diameter and is
packed full OF ice. 1t may be necessary to
wait until the weather becomes warmer
and the ice thaws, for it seems almost an
impossibility to remove the obstruction by
any mechanical process.

happened. She rushed out of the room and
hurriedly sent a colored messenger for the
family doctor. The doctor came at once
