A Queer Story Concerning an Old
Sensation Told by Kansas
Man.
An Old Time Freighter Says the No.
torious Family We're Hung to the
Rafters OF the House,
And That He Helped to Do It-A Bold
Robbery Committed on Chicago
Street Car.

ST. JOSEPH, No., July 16.-K. B.
Randolph, an attorney of this city, who
has just returned from Nickerson, Kan,
says that he there made the acquaint-
|ancs Of Tom Doolittle, an old time
freighter, who told him story Of the
famous Bender family, which, If true,
settles all question as to the where
abouts Of the family of murderers.
Doolittle says after the murder of York
band of searchers, headed by the mur-
dered mans brother, went TO the Bender
house and extorted confession from
the old woman. They then quietly pro-
ceeded to hang the old man Bender, his
wife and son to the rafters of the house.
During this proceeding Kate Bender ut
tered some protests and was shot to
death. After the family had been dis
patched York's avengers took their
bodies to an old creek bed some yards
distant from the house and buried
them. The attention of family living
on an adjoining ranch was attracted to
the Bender place some days after by q
starving calf, and their absence was
first made known to the public.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 16.--A Chamber
lain, 8. D., special to The Journal says:
Many of the settlers living along the
Missouri river, across from the Sioux
reservation, are having trouble with
deputy United States marshals, who, 1t
Is claimed, trump up all sorts of charges
agnlnst them, the principal charge be-
ing That they sell liquor to the Indians.
A Charles Mix county man, Christian
Peterson, was arrested by deputy
markhal the other day on the charge Of
selling liqucr without license, AID
three nighboring farmers were also ar
rested and taken to Yankton as wit
nesses. Charles Mix county papers pro-
nounce this nothing but case of per-
secution. Peterson was arrested last
spring and taken to Yankton and bound
over withou. one iota of evidence and
compelled to go to Sioux Falls, and was
kept there at expense to himself for two
weeks and then discharged without even
. hearing. He Ii now arrested again
and viii be put to more expense himself,
while witnesses viii be dragged tc
Yankton at one OF the busiest times in
the year to testify to absolutely nothing;
yet the chances are that he will Be
bound over so that deputy United
States commissioner may draw fees
from the government. These cases OF
persecution simply for the fees there ID
Ia them, have become so open and no
torious that the people, especially in
Charles Mix county, are becoming
aroused and propose to put stop to It
If possible.

uoglsud's Consumption Of Yobaooo.

LONDON, Aug. "a The commissioner OF
Her Nj jesty's Customs, In his thirty-nhh
report Of the Lord of the Treasury, gives
some interesting statistics regarding the
consumption Of tobacco. In spite Of . ~
cent reduction in duty the gross revenue
from tobacco In 1901 reached the sum Of
7i7,7s4 pounds, the highest figure ever
attained, or an increase over the total
revenue for 1889 20 OF 503.l pounds.
This increase, the commissioner points out,
10 derived almost entirely from the ordi-
oaiy cut tobacco consumed by the working
classes. whose improved wages has ua-
doubtedly assisted to bring about this satis-
factory and gratifying state Of revenue;
shsresr, in 1877 the consumption Of the
weed per 100 Of the population was l 70,
and it WAS last year "a, against Las In
1889.
The amount Of drawback paid on snu6
has increased to such an extent that IL 10
regarded by the commissioner OF customs
~ unsstisfactory, and the attention Of Mr..
Goschen 10 invited to the best means 10
hold in check attempts to evads. the existing
provisions Of the law and regulations made
to meet the evil.
