DISCOVERED AT LAST
Old Mrs. Bender Found in a
Michigan Town.
SHE WILL Be TAKEN TO KANSAS
There to Be Tried for Her Terri
BILE Crimes--A History of
the Case

NILES. Mich, Oct. 30.---The trial of
Mrs. Eliza Davis for grand larceny has
brought out the fact that Mrs. Monroe,
Mr.. Davis mother, is in reality old Mrs.
Bender of the notorious Bender family
of Kansas. A requisition has been asked
for, and as soon as 1t arrives the prison
ers will be taken to Kansas for trial.
THE history of the tender murders
forms one Of the bloodiest pages in the
annals of crime. Tho Bender family
kept sort Of log tavern on lonely
Kansas highway, and succeeded in muir
dering and robbing u large number of
travellers before their terrible crimes were
detected. Their mode of procedure was
as follows: The unS lgpecting victim
would be given seat ut the dining
table 80 that his head would como near
n cloth partition dividing two rooms.
Old man Bender would take q position
with an AK in the adjoining room, and
when the victims shadow showed that
his head nearly or quito touched the
cloth the gray-hoaded old murderer
would strike an awful blow that would
send the unsuspecting traveller to
death without the slightest warn.
ing. The Bendors would then rob
the corpse and bury II in q
cellar beneath the house. One day the
surrounding country became aroused
over the mysterious disappearance of
prominent judge. He was traced to the
Bender place, and there all clues ended.
The Blenders, becoming alarmed, He'd in
the night, no one detecting their depart.
ure. The house was searched, and the
whole world WAS startled and horrihed
at the disclosures.
That was years ago, but persistent re-
search has failed to discover the wherea-
bouts of the murderers. Detectives
spotted" scores of innocent immigrants
and followed them over the West, but
each alarm proved false, and the location
of the Renders has remained one of the
mysteries OF American criminal annals.
Their flight was greatly facilitated by the
fact that at that time Hundreds of thou
sands of immigrants were peopling the
West, and the whole cop ntfy was dotted
with white tents and coverct wagons.
The outcome of this latest discovery
will be awaited with interest. ED.

THE WALLACE FIG HIT
The Secretary of the Interior De-
cides Against The Land
Jumpers. -.-
He Says the Townsite Was Prop
erly Located Under Genuine
Rourk Scrip.

Information has been received that the
secretary of the interior has rendered a
decision on the Wallace townsite CON
test in favor of the scrip location and
sustaining Mr.. Wallace in defense of his
title.
IL will be remembered that great
deal of excitement prevailed there last
winter in the jumping of lots, by reason
of II supposed defect III the title in the
scrip entry. 1t turns out that the scrip
was entered in the name of one Rourk.
1t seems that his heirs supposed he was
dead and that the scrip was lost, and
they had duplicate scrip issued and en-
tered on land in Dakota. This coming
to the knowledge of residents of Wallace,
they proceeded TO help themselves To
real estate.
MIR. Wallace has succeeded in finding
his man Rourk and proving that his en-
try was the original scrip, which the Sec
retary of the interior has decided valid.
The result is, Mr.. Wallace will secure
title to the land, improvements and all.
The jumping of the lots had the effect
of attracting great deal of attention,
and since then the town has been enjoy
ing first-class boom, until now it is by
far the largest and liveliest town i'll

THE zETETIC PHILOSOPHY.
One of It's Disciples Tries to Prove
That tho Earth Is Flat.

Carpenters Folly philadelphia
The Zetetic philosophy, which proves
absolutely and without a shadow of
doubt that the earth is a plane and not
planet, has In IL no theories, but estab-
fishes its conclusions upon facts alone.
Many of these facts are of such ma
ture that not to know all about them will
soon be deemed a sign of ignorance.
The people should know that the sur
face of standing water is level, whether
it be in the form of pond, a lake, n
canal, sea or an ocean, and that it
makes no difference at all how many
ings, believe it to be curved;
that in no surveyors operations
in the construction Of railroads,
tunnels, or canals is any allowance
made for the curvature" of the earths
surface, although the books tell us that
it is necessary; that the view from a
balloon in the air is that of II fiat earth
and not of a globe; that the river Para
quay in 800 miles does not fall foot.
that for the last 500 miles the Amazon
falls but ten feet six ipches--and that
the Nile in 1000 miles falls but foot.
Sailors can see the light at Cape Hat
teras forty miles out at sea, whereas on
the globe theory it ought to be more
tnan 900 feet below the level of line of
sight strain your eyes as you please
you can never see ship coming "up."
for at the farthest distance that you can
by any means see a ship il Is on
n level with the eye; the horizon
always rises on and OH lust
as you rise on; If the mariner were to
take u globe with him with which to
navigate the ocean, he would wreck his
ship; meridians are straight lines diverg-
ing from the central north toward the
south in all directions horizontally
parallels of latitude" only are circles
and on globe the pointing of com.
pass north and south is clearly impossi-
bic; sailing westerly is sailing round
horizontally with the north star on your
right hand, and sailing easterly is sail
ing in the same horizontal mode with
the north star on your left-and all the
money in tho United States treasury
would not buy a proof of so much as the
bare possibility OF sailing down a globe
under globe, and up the other side!

Big Bend Products.

Alnllrh journal.
+. A. Hesseltine has on exhibition in
his land and real estate office at Wilbur
some excellent specimens of vegetables
raised in the Big Bend. Among others
we noticed mammoth pumpkin,
weighing fifty.thrce pounds, over five
feet in circumference. 1t is of light
colored variety and presents peculiar
appearance in its magnitude, and re-
minded us of the rock of ages. Fifty
three potatoes, all of which came from
one hill, and all good sized; carrot
twenty-five inches long, and another
carrot sixteen inches around; turnip
twenty inches in circumference po-
tato weighing four and one-half pounds;
and onions fifteen and sixteen inches in
circumference; also some very fine spec
linens of yollow corn, samples of oats,
wheat, rye, barley, rice corn, broom
corn and sugar cane. Mr.. Hesseltine is
very proud OF his samples, as he may
well be, not simply because they are in
his office, but because they are raised in
the country which he long ago chose as
his permanent home, where everything
was then wild, now rapidly coming I'M
der the control of careful and intelligent
husbandmen, who constantly find that
new kinds of vegetation thrive here and
produce thus wonderfully. 1t is good
country now, and grows better every
year, as all good countries do.

ANOTHER GOLD BRICK.
An Arsstra Run That Yields 113S o
for the Occident.
Occur d'Alcnc Sun. ]

l1NfuI cuhsl
On Wednesday the members of the
Occident company brought to the Bank
of Murray gold brick which weighed
about sevcnty.nine ounces and valued
at 81, 346 50, or $17 an ounce. This is the
result of an arastra run of fifty tons of
quartz, which is at the rate of S27 per
ton. Only two men were kept at work
in the mine and one at the arastra,
which could not be run steadily on ac-
count of lack of water and other
unavoidable delays. This is the
fourth brick the Occldent mine has pro-
duced within year, the largest one be-
ing valued at S2s35, and which sur
passed any brick ever run from this
side. These gold bricks that make their
appearance at regular intervals are solid
proof that the quartz TO produce gold Is
here, and that, too, in quantities that
will pay for the introduction of modern
machinery. The present crude way of
working the ore, of course, is rather
slow, but the results of our arastra runs
are, nevertheless, worth growing over,
and also prove the fact that the north
side of the Ceur d Alenc is US rich as it
has always been represented to be.

Complimentary Letter From

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-A farewell din.
ner to Rear Admiral Walker, previous to
MS departure in command of the new
squadron was given tonight. Severa
informal speeches were made and great
surprise given to the admiral by the
reading of a letter prepared by Secretary
Tracy in which the latter expressed his
great appreciation of the lasting services
which the admiral has rendered the
navy department during his term as
chlei OF the bureau of navigation. The
letter Is extremely complimentary in
tone and says II is peculiarly appropri-
ate at the close of his respou.
sible duties that Admiral Walker
should be entrusted with the command OF
the ilrst squadron reconstructed by the
navy. The letter says 1t is not In the
power of the department to confer upon
the admiral any high distinction. and
selection was made not only from knowl.
edge of his special fitness, but as a
recognition of services hitherto per-
formed. The letter further saws there is

velopment and in building UP u system

| DARING ROBBERY.
A Thief Hitches His Team to a
New Wagon and Drives
Of.
Arrest of Man Who Passed q
Number of Worthless
Checks.

One of the boldest robberies that has
been perpetrated in this city for some
time occurred yesterday afternoon. Some
unknown individual who possessed an
unlimited amount of nerve went around
to the agricultural depot back of Dun
stan's, on Sprague street, and selecting
a new wagon, ,lhitched "a team to it and
deliberately drove away with 1T. As
soon ns the proprietors discovered that
the wagon was missing, one of them i'm
mediately notified Captain Martin, who
directed him to Judge Curry's office
where warrant was sworn out and de-
livered to Sheriff Hinchlfl. The only
clue to the thief is the fact that man
was seen driving out OF town, going in
the direction of Medical Lake. The
officers are after him and will un-
doubtedly run him down.

Arrest OF Man for Swindling Spo-
kane Falls People.

A man named John Dillon has got
himself into serious trouble by affixing
his name to worthless checks. 1t seems
that he has drawn number of checks
for different amounts on the First Ma
tional bank. One of them was given to
James Jummer for So, which, upon pre-
sentation at the bank, proved to be
worthless piece of paper. Jummer en-.
tered complaint against Dillon, and
about o'clock yesterday afternoon
Captain Martin and Officer Smith ar
rested him. lie was taken to the bank,
and there checks amounting to S43 that
he had drawn were thrown down on the
counter, and the teller said that Dillon
had no money on deposit. Dillon spoke
up and said: well, I'll have some
money here on the lst."
Being too much under the influence of
liquor at the time he was arrested he was
locked up, and will be taken before
Judge Curry this morning for an exami-
nation.

There was the furnace and all the grim

A STEAMER SUNK.
The Passengers All Saved---The Loss
VIII Not BE GreRt,

VIII Not BE Great.
SEATTLE, Oct. 30.-Early this morning
the steamer Washington, bound from
Seattle to Whatcom, struck u rock and
sank near Deception pass. II appears
that the vessel was travelling at an ordi-
nary rate, and entered water that was
rather rough. The steamer sheared to
one side and struck rock, staving in
two planks of her hull. Water poured
in at a tremendous rate, and the vessel
was Immediately headed for shoal water.
The water had gained such headway,
however, that the steamer sank before
shore could be reached, in fifteen feet
OF water, The passengers had gathered
on the upper deck, and no lives were
lost. The passengers were taken aboard
the State of Washington and conveyed
to their destination at Whatcom. The
Washington was afterward raised and
started back to Seattle, and is expected
here tonight.
The Washington is owned by the
Washington Steamboat II Transporta-
tion Company, and is valued at $40, 600.
The damage to her hull, it Is thought,
will not amount to over $500.

has IL been Leuseu ny the Union Ia
cific?
New York, Oct. Notwithstanding
the rumors regarding tho purchase and
control of the Alton by the Union Pacific,
it is asserted positively this evening that
the deal has been consummated. j..
Pierrepont Morgan Is credited with hav-
ing put the thing through, and il Is as.
serted that the papers will he all signed
i'll few days, when the independence
of the Chicago & Alton will cease.
When the Alton withdrew from the
Interstate Commerce Railway Associa-
ton, its position was such that IL must
either begin to fight for business or lease
or sell out to some other company. The
Atchison finally made an offer to pur.
chase control ut l25 per share. The
proposition was not satisfactory, and
the negotiations fell through. Then the
Union Pacific, in contemplation of its
deal with the Northwestern, offered 40
per share and the Alton accepted.
