"A suspicion That That Famous
Family Were Operating Under
Another Name.
Since notice of the great crimes COM
mitted in No Mans Land have been
published much comment, says the Kan
sas City Times, has been made regard
ing the matter by parties who were
familiar with the facts in the noted
Bender case. A gentleman i'm Kansas
City who drove by the Bender place
hundreds of times and was thoroughly
acquainted with the developments in the
case, land with the parties who claimed
to have followed and killed that fend
family. speaking of the case recently,
said:i 81 do not believe the Blenders
were, killed at the time such news was
promulgated, but am very much inclined
to think the alleged Kelly family of No
Mans Land were the Identical gang.
Their method of killing was the same.
The number in the family was the same,
and many evidences seem to show them
to be, the same people. 1t is absurd to
think that the Blenders were put to
death by the parties who say they killed
them, L know the parties, and from my
knowledge of the case do not believe
one word of the statement. There was

and if they had been captured dead or
alive that reward would have been
claimed by the captOrs. Again, the
mystery of how the BenderS ever dis
posed OF the horses and wagons belong
ing to their victims has never been
solved. The facts seem obvious TO me
that gang of confederateS aided in the
disposition of this property, and by the
aid Of this gang the public have been
misled into belief that the Blenders
were really killed"
Bonnie JOckie" and His Bunny"
New York Graphic.
A delightful old Scottish ballad, which
every lover of simple melodies learned,
or should have learned, in the musical
days of his youth, is 'Bonnie Jockie, -
and runs somewhat as follows:
Bonnie Jockie. blIthe and gay,
Kissed young JEANNE making hay.
The lassie blushed and frOwning cried:
1T Wilma, Wilma do,
| Gamma, Gamma, mauna mauna
Wilma buckle twO!"
The next stanza goes on to say that
"JOck was a lad who never would wed, -
and continues until his final surrender
to the charms of the fair hay-maker.
Miss Clara Campbell, of IrontOn, o.,
whose breach of promise suit against
Charles Arbuckle, of this city, is draw
ing crowds to Part ~. of the supreme
court, may not be fair hay-maker ex-
actly, but she appeared to have made
hay very fairly while the sun shone Oh
her cOurtship. And 1.-THE lad who
never would wed" was just such an
other, in all probability, as the hand
some defendant in this case. 1t is he,
instead of "Jeannie," who is alleged to
have observed:
Gamma, Gamma, Wilma. Wilma,
Maun' Arbuckle two?
Yet, as the incorrigible Scotchman
yielded to his fair enslaYer's charms, so
is there still hope for Arbuckle, and so
there may still be a dulcet minor, to a
wedding march, to follow the harsh
notes of cross-eXamining counsel.
However that may be, the thanks of
all lovers in every English-speaking
land for ages to come are to due to Mr..
Arbuckle and Miss Campbell for having
enriched the language of love with such
delightful terms as "h's and ks" and
the epigrammatic "K. M. o. even
though to be kissed quickly is loves
dearest surprise.
