Almost a Murder.

A most remarkable case OF mistaken
identity, which for time seemed likely
to result in the killing of at least one
guiltless person, the ruin of the happi-
ness of two families, and the tarnish-
ment of the spotless reputation of
two innocent women, devel-
oped at the fremont House,
Chicago, few days ago. John
D. De CARTS, a business man of Milwau-
kee, registered with his bride at the
fremont House. While out at the
races John J. Coughlan, who has a
string of horses at Washington Park,
saw the couple and believed Mrs. De
CARTS to be his wife. The couple were
followed to the hotel, where Coughlan
charged De CARTS with having
Mrs. Coughlan in his room. De
CARTS insisted that there was
a mistake, and suggested that
some acquaintance of Mrs. Cough
Ian be sent up to the room. A friend
of Coughlan was sent up, and he re-
turned with the statement that the lady
was Mrs. Coughlan. A shooting ARRAY
would have resulted had not Mr.. De
CARTS urged that Mrs. Coughlan must be
at home. A detective was sent out to
Coughlan's residence, and there Mrs.
Coughlan was found Mr.. DeGaris re-
ceiyed an apology and his unsuspecting
bride was not told how near she came to
causing murder.

How the Benders Died.

X. P. Randolph, an attorney Of St.
Joseph, Mo-, who has just returned
from Nickerson, Kas., says that he there
made the acquaintance Of Tom Doolittle,
an old-time-freighter, who told him q
story of the famous Bender family
which, if true, settles all question as to
the whereabouts of the family of MUIR
derers. Doolittle says that after the
murder of York band of searchers,
headed by the murdered man brother,
went to the Bender house and extorted
a confession from the old woman. They
then quietly proceeded to hang old
man Bender, his wife and son to the
rafters of the house. During this pro-
ceedlng Kate Bender uttered some pro-
test and was shot to death. After the
family had been dispatched, York;
avengers took the bodies to the creek
bed some yards distant from the house
and buried them. The attention of the
family living on an adjoining ranch was
attracted to the Bender place some days
after by starving calf and then the alb
sence of the family was first made
known to the public. This gave rise to
ths report that the murderous family
had fled to avoid punishment, and
caused the prolonged search by the Off
GERS of the law.

SHE RUBBED HIN WITH INK An ANUS
ing incident occurred In York, Pa, few
nights ego which caused some msrrlment
among the many friends OF the Victim. A
young man who is somewhat eflloted with
acute rheumatism suffered 80 much pain
that he was unable to sleep. SO ne aroused

and asked her to rub him with coal oil. The
wife, who was not more than half awake,
arose and got what she supposed was the
coal oil bottle. which they kept for that pur-
pose, and began to rub the aching limb.
After rubbing for some tins she asked
whether he did not feel better. He replied
that he believed that he did feel somewhat
better, but not much, so the honest toiler
continued to apply the fluid and iub with
even more earnessuess. Suddenly, the hus-
band noticed that the coal oil did not give
forth Its pausea,ing smell and remarked :
THAT is the funniest coal oil ever saw 1t
has NO SMELL" The sleepy wife raised the
bottle to her nose and found that the bottle
did not smell Of coal oil but ink. She had
made mistake and had taken the iDk bot
tie and applied the Ink iustesd of the oil.
The joke was too good to be lost. and both
had 8 hearty laugh oyer it. After the Ink
was washed from the swollen limb the coal
oil was applied, which soon gave relief.
