WRONG MAN SHOT.

Boarding House Beat Fatally Wounae =
Fellow Boarder Iusssed Of the Land
lord.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, Nov. 20.-Last
night just before midnight, as Charles
Highland, a beef carrier at Swift's
packing house, was standing on the
curbstone in front of his boarding
house, 4O3 Kansas avenue. Armourdale.
he was shot and fatally wounded by y
man named Billy Kinnan. The
wounded man did not know he
was injured until he turned
and started upstairs to his room,
when he fell back in the arms of the
landlord, Walter Gilliland. DR.. Stemen
found an ugly wound, the ball having
entered the lower right side of the alb
domen, evidently striking a coin or
hard substance just before, which gave
it downward DETECTION, and thence
ranging down through the right leg.
Immediately after firing the shot
Kinnan, accompanied by companion
named William McCann, known as
Cowboy" fed in the direction of the
Missouri line, and though pursued some
distance by the police, both men made
their escape in the darkness.
1t appears that Kinnan had row in
the evening with Gilliland for not pay
ing his board bill and had been ordered
from the house, and it is evident that
the shot which Highland received was
intended for Gilliland.

have sufficient remembrance now of
the Bender family as to distinctly re-
member how each one looked, and
have now in my mind how the women
looked at that time. Several things in
Kate were strange, and that was her
belief in supernatural powers and in
Spiritualism.'
The testimony of Dick was of the
most Importance and damaging to the
defense. The old woman seemed to
realize it the keenest. Several times
she arose to her feet and muttered
under her breath something umintelli-
gible. Once Only-and that Monday
did the alleged Kate vince and
show the effect the identification
had upon her.
The first witness introduced for the
defense was Thomas James. He said:
Il think 1 saw the Benders often
| enough to know them. The old lady
Bender's language was 'Dutchy.'"
Witness made a thorough examination
OF the defendants and said that in his
best judgment they were not the Bend
ers. Cross-examination by the State
proved the fact that the witness was
color blind. Witness closed his eyes
and tried to describe the defendants,
but failed.
Silas TOles testifeda Il know the

often. l had long talk with Kate
once when coming home from camp

light blue eyes. light hair, slim form
and graceful step, and was about twen-
ty-two years old. The old lady was
about fifty years old and had small,
dark eyes. think if met them now
would know them. The women here,
in my opinion, are not the Benders.'
The defendants were placed on the
stand and gave in detail the history of
their lives. Mrs. Davis supposed to be
the notorious Kate gave straightfor-
ward story telling in detail where she
had been ard the main incidents of her
life for the past twenty years. develop
Ing the fact that she had had as varied
a matrimonial experience as her
mother, having been married to four
different men. The cross-examinatiOn

that there was sufficient evidence to

THE CROSS MURDERERS.

A Knotty Question Before the Uaised
States District Court.
Topeka, Kan, Nov. 20.-The mon
who are charged with the Stevens
County murders were taken before
Judge Foster of the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday. United States
Attorney Ady made application for
their removal to the United States
court for the Eastern district of Texas,
indictments having been returned
against the men from the grand jury
of that court. j. G. Waters and
Eugene Hagan appeared before the
court on behalf of the persons and
resisted the application, claiming that
the Texas court had no Jurisdiction
over No-Man's-Land. They entered
upon long argument to show that No
Man's-Land is not under the jurisdic-
ton of any court and that crimes COM
mitted there are without punishment.
The question is admitted to be prodig-
iOus one, as it effects the title of the
United States to No-Man's-Land and
the validity of two or three Indian
treaties that were made many years ago.

THE BENDERS
Preliminary Trial Of the Alleged
Bender Women.
Several Witnesses Testify Positively ~ 70
Their Identity-Others Are Positive
That They Are Not the Bendsrs
Held Fer Trial.
Tho Alleged Benders on Trial.


OswEGO, Kan, Nov. 19.-The pre-.
liminary examination of Mrs. Almira
Monroe and Mrs. Sarah E. Davis, al
legged to be the famous Bender women,
began yesterday morning in Justice
Kiersey's court. and at an early hour
people from the country and the city
filed the room.
In the morning nothing was done,
but when court convened at one o'clock
the testimony on the part Of the State
was begun.
C. w. Booth, of Cherryvale, first
testified that he knew the Bender fam
lily, but knew Kate the best; that Kate
and he worked in hotel in Cherryvale.
He saw her afterward at a dance, and
was acquainted with her sufficiently to
identify her when he met her. He con-
tinued: Il visited the Bender place
with Colonel York in the spring Of 1873
looking for Y ork' S missing brother. We
went to the house and made inquiries
and John took us down on Drum creek
to show us where some one had shot at
him. He showed us tree perforated
with bullets. From there we went
home. The second Monday following
We went to the Bender farm and found
the place deserted, searched around
and found several bodies terribly mutt
lated"
Then the attention of the witness
was directed to the defendants to iden-
tify them and the house became pain
fully still as he scrutinized closely the
features and form of the alleged Kate.
Then he answered: ''She bears an awful
striking resemblance to Kate Bender"
The cross examination brought out
nothing further than what was testified
in chief. The witness was unable to
identify the old woman.
T. C. Dick was next called and testi-
fed that he had had personal &C
quaintance with the Bender family,
having lived close to them for two
years. He knew Kate well and was
familiar with her general features and
form. He saw these women get off the
train at Independence few weeksago,
and thought the younger woman filled
the bill for Kate Bender, and from his
recollection she was Kate. The cross
examination brought nothing further
than to confirm strongly his testimony
in chief.
j. A. Handley next swore: 81
freighted from Fort Scott to Independ-
ence from 1869 to 1878. l knew the
Bender family well and saw Kate and
John often. 1 used to stop there to
buy provisions and to get water. I re-
member distinctly how they looked and
would be able to identify them now"
Witness was shown the women, Mon
roe and Davis, and testified: ''That is
old lady Bender and that is Kate
pointing to each. -
