HUMPHREYS GRAND JURY
SAYS HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS
PARTISAN
Is Unacquainted with Two-Thirds of
The Men who Investigated the Legis-
lative Bribery.

Judge Humphreys brief. filed at
Washington in the matter of the
charges of the Hawaiian Bar Associa-
ton against him. deals with the late
legislative bribery Grand Jury, in a
short paragraph. The charge was made
that Humphreys was instrumental in
drawing and allowed a partisan Grand
Jury to be drawn, to serve in the Cir
cult court of the First judicial Circuit
over which said judge was then and
there presiding. in contempt and disre-
gard to the duties of his high office" In
reply Humphreys says;
IF this Grand jury was, in fact, a
partisan body | was not at the time of
its impannelment nor am l now, aware
of such fact. 1t does appear from the
affidavit of single person, and he one
of the persons seeking to secure my
removal, that a majority of the jury
were Democrats. | am not prepared to
challenge the truth of such statement

strangers to me, and l would not know

morrow. / made no inquiry at to the

the officers to summon the proper num-
Der of good and lawful men from the

livered to the officer by the Clerk of the
Court and no suggestion or intimatOn

son on my behalf, as to the individuals
who were to be summoned or their poll

unsupported by evidence, exceDt the
single affidavit referred to, and L dis

The brief ends with a summary begin
ming with the following language: "In
conclusion I beg to say that my efforts

vate the administration of justice, to

AS the boy has no home and is not very

'Des Moines, Aus. 17.-The following ap-
peared in the Leader yesterday: Echoes
from the Sixth congressional district
denote that Congressman John F. Lacey
Is likely to have quite as embarrassing a
time as Congressman y. "A. T. Hull Of
the Seventh district in getting back to-
congress in 1902. There is every indica-
ton now that Congressman Lacey will
meet with strong opposition in his own,
party when he seeks the denomination.
Two candidates are already mentioned
for his position. They are John Scott Of.
Poweshiek county and Representative
N. E. Kendall of Abba. Monroe county.
1t is generally conceded Kendall is the
stronger of the two candidates likely to
oppose Lacey. He has a firm hold on.
the miners OF the district, owing in part
to his active efforts to secure mining
legislation in the last general assembly.
Whether the Cummins and anti-Cum-
mirs contest that preceded the Cedar
Rapids convention will cut any figure In
the congressional campaign, can not be
foretold so early. Before the convention
at Cedar Rapids, 1t Is certain there wac
a strong disposition on the part of some
Of the Cummins men in Lacey's district
to retaliate on him for the opposition he
has SO frequently been charged with
making against Cummins in the guber-
Material campaign. Kendall has never
been ranked as Cummins man, tho the
fact his county divided about equally on
the adoption Of the minority report of
the credentials committee at the Cedar
Rapids convention, would not indicate
he was implacably hostile. Scott ls re-
garded as Cumming man.

the body dragged to the track SO that
passing trains might obliterate the signs
of the crime. A man has been arrested

on his hands and on his handkerchief.

to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, Aug. 17-For the past thirty
years there has been considerable dis
cussion whether or not the notorious
Bender family of Kansas escaped from
the lynching party or not. A noted In
dian chief a few days ago stated that
all were lynched and that he saw the
criminals executed. However, Captain
Vim. Parker, editor of the Rock Falls
News is certain that all Of the Benders
escaped from their pursuers. When the
bodies of the victims murdered by the
Benders were exhumed near Cherry
vale, Kas., Captain Parker claims he
was the first newspaper man on the spot
the exception of that of DR.. Clark, the
first one found. At that time the editor
of the Independent. published at Cher
ryvale. He says the Benders were never
found, hence could not have been exc
cuted as has frequently peen stated. The
captain also says he wrote the first ac-
count of the awful crime and that he
sent out proof sheets to the leading pa
pers of the United States. He was in the
confidence of Sheriff Stone and Col.
York and the committee which spent an
immense sum of money in sending out
detectives in search of the Benders. He
says he knows to a certainty that the
vigilance committee which was organ
lied to capture and lynch the Blenders
took the wrong trail and never found
the murderers. The two of them. faith
err and son. were known to be alive in
New Mexico seven months after the
bodies were found. 1t is the belief that
the two women escaped to the old coun-
try. Captain Parker thinks none of the
Benders could now be identified owing
to the lapse of years. He says he thinks
| they are living in Colorado at the pres
ent time. He has a photograph taken
| on the spot of the Bender grave yard,
showing the buildings, open graves and
rough boxes. A large amount of money
| was expended by the committee, of
which he was member, in searching
| for the Benders, but after the trail had
once been lost, it could never be found
again.
Captain Parker is perhaps the best
authority today, on this much discussed
question.

Dubuque, Aug. ia barge. owned by
Capt. Kimbel, OF this city. was loaded
with eighty cords of wood at Buena Wis

When an attempt was made to tow It
down to Dubuque twas found that the
barge had settled on a huge stump. In
the effort to slide the boat off the stump
penetrated the bottom and the barge
sank in eight feet OF water.
Capt. Kimbel will now be compelled
to remove all the wood before the barge
can be raised, and the work Of getting
the big barge off the stump will also be
a hard task. The barge IS practically
new. and cost. when made. $1,000. To
raise 1t and tow it to this city will be
expensive, and will be a hard blow to
Capt. Kimbel.
This mishap again illustrates the fact
that the stumps are the very worst inn
pediment to river navigation. 1t was a
treacherous stump that sank the big
steamer Dubuque and the river seems
to be full OF them.

annoyed by the summer tourists to
Clear Lake flashing large bills on them

pectation that free ride will be the re-
suit. Yesterday a stranger handed a
Atty to Oscar Peterson, a conductor
who takes things seriously, but Oscar
waited until he was opposite to bank
and stopping the car, quickly had the
bill exchanged. Returning he presented
his patron with forty-nine silver dol
lars, fifty cent piece and two dimes.
When the passenger who happened to
be gold democrat saw the silver load
Ing up on him he remembered he had
ten cent piece in his vest pocket but all

run back and secure his precious fifty
dollar bill were of no avail 1t is not

there over the disappearance Of Miss
Eva Judd. daughter of Mrs. Rolph.
She left home Monday night, and all

Miss Judd, who has been living with
an aunt at What Cheer for couple of
years. returned to the home OF her
mother about two weeks ago. While
1othing particular was thought of 1t at
the time, 1t - recalled now that the
young woman acted rather peculiarly
during her stay at her mothers home.
She was naturally of d joyous and
buoyant spirit. and this nature evi-
denced itself In her actions good deal
OF the time, but there were times when
she grew sad and morose without ap-
parent cause. and her parents believe 1t
was during one Of there spells that she
determined to leave home.
All day Monday the young lady was
at her home. EARLY in the evening she
changed her dress, putting on one OF her
newest gowns. and 1t has developed
since, after going to the LaPorte post
