The issue of the N. Y. Engineer

contains an illustrated article relat-
ing to Nevada, which includes pho
tographs of what the author claims is
the oldest arrastra in this State and
locates it in Egan canyon, White Pine

the late General Rosecrans is credited
with having been the manager. An
other photograph is a view of the

stating that the arrastra at Egan can

After Long Years.

Topeka, Kan, July 23.-Four per
sons said to be members OF the no.
torious Bender family, accused of com
hitting a score OF murders at their
home near Galena, Kansas, over
twenty years ago, have been located
near Fort Collins Colorado. and
Governor Stanley has issued requi-
clifton papers on the Governor of Colo
RADIO for their return to this State
The first steps toward bringing the
suspects to Kansas were taken upon
the representations OF Frank Ayers
Fort Collins. who asserts that one of
the quartet Kate Bender, was once
his vile. Governor Stanley issued the
requisition upon affldavts of four men
who went to Colorado especially to
identity the suspects.
The Benders committed a series OF
the most atrOciOus crimes ever COM
mitted. They lived on small farm
near Galena and for years, as it devel-
oped after their flight. they had lured
travellers and buried their bodies in
the yard around their home or under
the house. All four members OF the
family were accused of aiding in the
murders, The family consisted of
man, wife, daughter and SON. The par
ents would now be in the seventies and

TERRORISM At TRucKEE.
Tramps Supposed to be Muir.
derinq Tourists and Campers

The dispatches indicate a reign OF
terror at Truckee, Cal, over the find
ing of bodies in the river, which seems
to indicate that tourists and camp
ers have been murdered and robbed
by tramps, and then thrown into the
river. Within few days the bodies
of five or six men have been taken
out of the river, and the pockets of
two were turned inside out, showing
that robbery had been the motive of
the killing.
A dispatch says:
Months ago the citizens OF Truckee
realized the fact that the town was
refuge for thieves and hard charac-
tiers OF all descriptions. Crime was
rampant. A vigilance committee was
organized and when everything was
ready the thugs were singled out and
Others refused, but thought better OF
it when tar and feathers, or worse,
was held up as the alternative. One
or two still held out, and they got the
dose
For a time quiet reigned and the
vigllantes were congratulating them
selves that they had done good job
| when reports began coming in of as
saults on campers On top OF this
came the finding OF the bodies, with
every evidence that murder had fol-
lowed robbery.
The bodies OF FIVE or six men,"
said John Butler, who arrived in this
city yesterday from Boca Springs,
have been recovered from the True
lee river. The pockets OF one of the
dead men had been pulled out of place
and the suspicion prevails that the
men were waylaid and murdered by
tramps
Mr.. Butler said further that the tou-
rlStS who are at present located near
the Truckee river will not venture out
alone and that each man carries a
weapon of defense in case OF attack
The man that was buried near
Boca. he added, was put under the
earth, as ] am informed, without hav-
ing an inquest held upon him.

Snider Set Free.

The case of postmaster Snider OF

United States grand jury in this city
yesterday morning and the charge was
ignored.
United States Marshal Emmitt at
once telegraphed to Elko to release
Mr.. Snider and this has doubtless been
done before this.
A certificate was presented from the
Postoffice department at Washington
setting forth that Snider was not in
default, as the government actually
owes him something like $50.
Snider has been in custody Of Of
fcers for some months, having been
arrested on a charge OF embezzling
$1,000 as postmaster He has sui
fered an unjust accusation, but lawyers
say he has no redress as the govern
ment cannot be sued for false impris-

The defendant received a life SEN

Important Decision.

Judge Talbot, who has heard the
Bell over the disputed mining ground
has rendered a decision in favor OF
Wedekind. The case arose over Bell
securing ground adjoining Weekend S
on his side line. The ground worked
by Bell was purchased by him from a
party holding patent thereto. Bell
uncovered ledge matter same in char
acter as that originally uncovered by
Wedekind. Wedekind claims that it
is a dip of his ledge and sued for per
petual injunction to prevent Bell from
working the ground.
Judge Curler at former trial, de-
cided in favor OF Bell The decision
rendered by Judge Talbot reverses
that OF Judge Curler. Judge Talbot
in his decision says that a patent for
ground does not carry the mineral ly-
ing under it; that a miner may work
Ou luC UP VI ISdO 1IltO duy SlOuHO
carrying a patent, as in the case above
This decision effects only the side
lines OF a mineral claim and in mea-
sure settles the question of the right
of mining men to work ground out
side of their side lines and pursue
the lateral dip under agricultural land
that is held under u. S. patent.
1t is likely that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court, where a
decision will be awaited with interes,
as many districts in Nevada are tied
up over this vexing question.
After the decision the Bell mine
was shut down, and will remain clos
ed until such time as the matter is
permanently settled. Bell lately in
stalled a steam plant to hoist ore and
employed twenty-four men. The
Wedekind property lately passed into
the hands of John Sparks, and it is
said that the purchase price was $685.

Bel won the suit the sale was off,
