HE MOUNTS, BY “HKVIXGS,’
MOUNTS!
hi-;
As we expected, the Daily Fence Rider lias
mounted his steed, and is anxiously looking
ont for the “right” aide. In his issue of yes
terday he condescends to inform the public
that there are “rumored difficulties” in the
management of the State road. He further
hints mildly that reports are cnrrent of mal
administration on the part of President
Brown, but he add?*, (and how the acntc fel
low gets a glimpse at the “reliable facts”)
that “it is due to Governor Brown to say that
he represents a different state of facts
entirely.”
We offered on yesterday to wager that all
the “reliable” facts given by the Fence Wider
would come from Joseph E. Brown, and we
are ready to double the wager this morning.
The F. R., however, wont take sides, not he.
Like the prudent fellow he is, he “awaits the
presentation of both sides,” and he winds up
io this magnificent style:
If Mr. Scofield Is correctly reproted and bis etet« -
menu are true. President Brown deserves the censure
of the public. If Mr. Scofield has incorrectly stated
the facts he is to be censured.
It is our solemn opinion that if the Man in
the Moon eats green cheese, the fact is strong
presumptive evidence of there being gieen
cheese in the moon; while if there is no man
in the moon to eat green cheese, we can safely
doubt the existence of any gTeen cheese ihere
at all.
The proposition submitted by the Fence
Rider is certainly startling. If Governor
Brown didn’t do as Mr. Scofield says he did,
then he didn’t If Mr. Scofield lie
thea he told the truth. If it is so, it is, if it
isn’t, then it isn’t ’ We donbt if ths public
ever dreamt for a moment that somebody
must be in the right until the Fence lluler
gravely gave them that astonishing “reliable’ 1
fact!
There is a grand fearlessness in this specta
cle of the Fence Rider calmly seated upon his
steed and keeping an eye on the combatants,
and ready to shoot for the Right the moment
the Wrong is vanquished. With an imperturb
able front and a lofty impartiality he awaits the
moment when he shall crown the victor
Brown, and give the coup de grace to the de
feated MacRae; or crown the victor MacRae
and give the coup de grace to the vanquished
Brown.
But nn aotime the Fence Rider, holding to
the theory of Napoleon, that “God fights on
the side of the strongest battalions,” and
seeing power on the Brown side, listens with
marked attention to the story of Joseph. To
condemn this would be most unjust; tor is it
not the duty of a Fence Rider to truckle to the
strong so long as they remain strong, and
never to help the weak under any circum
stances ?
Ob, mighty marvel of reliability an-1 im
partiality ! Brave Knight of the Easy Con
science that can flop from Brown to MacRae
and from MacRae to Brown, with grace and
ease ! Superb Daily Fence Ruler, that never
b^*f an opinion and never offers one, and
whose gory pen is ever dipped in the bl ul of
the beaten !
We don’t know that anybody cares a but
ton what it thinks, but hanged if it wouldn’t
l>e a novelty if the Daily lence Ruler would
give its opinion on these points:
1st. If Joseph E. Brown did make dishon
orable use of General MacRae’s intercepted
letter, and if Joseph E. Brown did try to
force Mr. Scofield to use his coal, does
Joseph E. Brown deserve to be turned ont of
his present office?
(Two to ooo that if the Fence Rider replies
to this interrogatory at all, his reply will bo
something in this style:
“That depeuds upon whether or not he is
turned out”)
‘2d. Does the Fence Ruler think it honora
ble in any man to read an intercepted letter,
not intended for his eyes? And does the
F. R. think it proper for a railroad President
to try to force others into using his coal ?
(Ten to one that the Fence Rider, if bo re
plies at all, will say, “That depends upon cir
cumstances. ”)
Happy Fence Ruler]! Great Champion de
fender, supporter and spokesman of the win
ning side 1
THE BENDER BUTCHERIES.
Further Mail Accounts of the
Kansas Horror.
DETECTIVE BEERS’ STORY.
Kansas City Times Telegram.
Mr. Keefers says the scene of the horrible
tragedy is one mile east and two miles south
of Morebead station, and six miles northeast
of Cberryvale. The house is situated in a
beautiful valley, surrounded on the southeast
and north by a range of low hills, and in fair
view of the L., L. and G. Railroad aud many
houses, though not nearer than half a mile to
any one. The house is about sixteen by
twenty, shiogle roof, and neither ceiled nor
plastered.
The Bender family consisted of four per
sons, father, mother, son and daughter. The
age of the father was sixty-three years, the
mother sixty, son twenty-seven and daughter
twenty-four. The son is described as a strong,
muscular man. The family are professed spir
itualist*, and the daughter claims supernatu
ral powers, in that she can heal the sick, re
store sight to the blind, and also that she
could give definite information of robberies,
murders, etc.
The following is a copy of Miss Bender’s
advertisement:
PROP. 11Z88 KATIE BENDER
can heal all sorts of diseases; can cure blind
ness, fits, deafness, and all such diseases; also
deaf and dnmbness. Residence fourteen
miles east of Independence, on the road from
Independence to Osage Mission, one and one
half miles southeast of Morehead station.
June 18, 1872. Kattie Bender.
This “Katie” was a red-faced young woman
of exceedingly bad reputation.
The scene Thursday was too horrible to give
even a faint description of. Seven bodies m
various stages of decomposition were lying on
the ground by the side of their open graves,
their sknlls broken in, and their throats cut
from ear to ear, except the girl, eighteen
months old, who must have been strangled or
else thrown into her grave alive. She was in
full dress, as her grandmother had dressed
her that morning. 8he was in the bottom of
the grave and her father lying upon her. The
child's body showed no marks of violence.
The manner in which they accomplished these
terrible deeds was this: “ On the house was
painted the sign “ Groceries,” but they kept
nothing but some wines. This sign called in
their victims. In the ieor near the stove was
a trap door, two feet square, which opens into
a rude hole in the ground, seven feet deep,
six feet wide at top and three feet at the bot
tom. The earth outside of the house did not
show any sign of excavation. Into this hor
rible hole were plunged the unfortunate vic
tims whom they murdered, in daylight The
hammers used for breaking the skulls were
such as are used by stone breakers on our
streets, and the handies are about twenty
inches long. Upon examination it was found
that the sknlls were ell breken on the back
and right side of tho bead, showin g that the
desperate deeds have been done by a right-
handed man.
The bodies have all been identified but two.
The Bender family have lived at this place
for more than two years, yet all the bodies
found have been killed within the last nin#
months, and the skill shown in this terrible
work and the neatness with which all traces of
their crimes were blotted out, is the best evi
dence that their bloody work did not com-
medbe so recently. Several hundred persons
were at the scene of horror yesterday, and the
excitement is intense. Every one is confident
that half is not yet unearthed.
The work of searching the premises still
goes on, and what may yet be developed none
can tell, but the people are prepared for any
thing. In an old Bible which was found in
the house, and on the family record page, was
written in German the following memoranda:
“Big slaughter day, January eight (8),and
another which read: “Hell departed.” These
were interpreted by a German citizen who
was present yesterday.
A Catholic prayer book was also iound in
the house, which centained the following,
written in German: “Johanna Bender, bom
July 30, 1848. John Gebardt came to Amer
ica July 1,18—.”
St. Louis Times, May 11.
A detective, Mr. Thomas Beers, of Inde
pendence, Kansas, who has done more than
any one else to ferret out the mystery, arriv
ed yesterday morning, having traced the
Benders to St. Louis. A Times reporter call
ed upon Mr. Beers during the day and ob
tained the inside history and fnll particulars
of the Benders’ bloody career.
For several months different persons have
been disappearing very mysteriously on the
route between Independence and Osage Mis
sion. Nearly a dozen people had suddenly
dropped ont of sight in this way, and the
matter was exciting a great deal of talk
throughout Southeast Kansas.
About a month ago, Dr. William A. York,
brother of Senator York, who exposed the
machinations of Pomeroy, disappeared in the
sarae way, and all efforts to find him were in
vain. Dr. York lived in Fort Scott and had
gone out on a collecting tour, riding a valua
ble roadster. He finally rode down to Inde
pendence and visited his lather, then he
started home, passing along the treacherous
route to Osage Mission, and nothing more
was ever seen of him.
The York family is one of considerable in
fluence in that part of Kansas, and the affair
caused great excitement The other disap
pearances were recalled to memory and the
people began to talk of the existence of a
gang of murderers [and robbers somewhere
between the mission and Independence.
On the route betwen these places is a dis
mal stretch of prairie, sparsely settled. Two
of the land marks of this prairie are Drum
creek and Big Hill. Midway between them
lived the Bender family, consisting of the old
man and the old woman, a young man who
passed as the son of Bender, and a young
woman who passed as the daughter of the old
woman. The young people passed as mar
ried; although the younger Mrs. Bender bore
a very slippery character on the point of
morality.
Bender had a frame house of several rooms,
which he had built upon a claim. He pro
fessed to keep a grocery in the front room of
the house anti an eating-room for travelers.
The pla^e was considered a kind of half-way
stopping place. The house stood in the
midst of a prairie, with nothing to break the
view for a mile around.
The younger Mrs. Bender professed to be
a spiritual medium, and held occasionally
seances. She also had a card in one or two
of the country papers, inviting calis from
those who desired to have the futnre re
vealed.
About two weeks ago or more. Senator York
organized a parly and scoured the country far
and wide to find some trace of his brother.
In the course of their ride they halted at the
Bender place to feed. Young Bender, when
he heard of their mission, volunteered his
services to aid in the search. The visit oc
curred on Wednesday. The younger woman
also called Senator York aside, and telling
him of her powers, proposed to hold a seance
on the next Friday night, saying that if he
would come she would reveal the whereabouts
of his brother.
York paid little or no attention to this, and
the party soon passed on.
About two weeks ago Mr. Thomas Beers,
who has been a Kansas detective for ten years
or more, was urgently requested by Senator
York tu take hold of the case, and did so.
Day and night he traveled the route between
Osage Mission and Independence, seeking to
solve the mystery. He soon Btruck the trail
of a desperado with whom he was acquainted.
The man had served several terms in the pen
itentiary and there was nothing to show that
be had reformed. Beers found that this man
was traveling back and forth between the Mis
sion and Independence, and he shadowed him
closely. Wherever the man stopped Beers
waited and then learned his conversation. He
found that the villain was talking freely about
mysterious disappearances.
At one place he told a woman about the
murder of a little girl seven, or eight years old,
and when the horrified listener exclaimed,
“How could they doit?” be replied, “Why,
they strangled her.” This was told to Beers
and he knew he Lad a clue.
At another place the disappearance of York
was the topic, and the man confidentially
said they would never find York, for ho had
been burned in a com field and the ground
had been plowed over.
Beers heard this, too, and some other things.
Then he learned that the Benders had sud
denly disappeared, and he began to see light
Ho went back to Independence, told York his
suspicions and asked him to go with him in
order to identify anything that might be
found, which bad belonged to his brother.
York put but little confidence in ths detec
tive’s suspicions, and sent a younger brother
with him.
Beers went from Independence to Chsny-
vale by rail, and then, taking a wagon, rode
out to the Bender claim, a few' miles off. The
place had been deserted hastily, but there
were plain and unmistakable evidences that
great efforts had been made to burn clothing,
pieces of harness and papers. Thore was a
small stock of groceries in the front room,
between this and the next room only the
jofata had been put up, and a sheet was hung
upon these for a screen.
The Benders had gone, apparently hiking
nothing but a little wearing apparel
with them. Hs they searched the house,
Beers told young York to keep a sharp look
out for anything that might have been bis
brother’s. He did so, and before they had
gone for he picked np a piece of his brother’s
bridle.
Then these&ich began in earnest. In grop
ing about in the room back of the grocery,
Beers found a little trap-door, and raised it
There came up a sickening stench, peculiar to
decomposing human remains. Almost nause
ated, Beers and his little posse, examined the
place. The trap opened into a pit about six
feet deep, and this had a passage opening out
under the foundations. They made a careful
examination of the pit, and found the soil
saturated with what was plainly human gore.
Back of the house was a piece of ground, per
haps an acre and a halt in extent, which had
been broken up and apparently recently
plowed.
Beers subsequently learned that Bender had
plowed this ground over the day after Sen
ator York and his friends had been there on
their search.
The detective at once began the examina
tion of this ground, and, taking young York
with him, started diagonally for the south
west comer, intending to begin a systematic
search, looking carefully for uny appearance
of a subsoil or disturbance.
A lew rods from the corner Beers stopped
and looked aboat him. Young York, who
was on his right, a few feet from him, turned
and came toward him. Glancing down, Beers
saw between them a little depression, and
some appearance of subsoil. Both noticed
it, and the detective said: “There’s some
thing here, York; go and get a wagon rod.’
York complied, and soon returned.
Beers took the rod and gradually pushed it
down until it struck hard ground just as it
reached the ring. Then drawing it out he
found that be had plunged the iron into what
appeared to be human remains.
The others, who’had in the meantime been
rummaging in the house, were summoned,
and digging was commenced. About lour
feet below the surface they came upon a body
partially decomposed, and lying face down
ward. Then they stopped the disinterring
and began to dig down a trench two feet wide
on one side of the grave, toward which the
face was turned a little.
While they were thus engaged a party ar
rived from Cherryvale, having gained an Ink
ling of what was going on. Among the new
comers was a doctor who had been sent out
by Senator York.
The trench was lowered below the level of
the bottom of the grave and the earth dog
away carefully from the fane and bead of the
body. Then the detective, seeing that from
the condition of the corpee the utmost care
would be necessary in order to insure recog
nition, told the doctor he must detach the
head from the trunk. It was done, and hav
ing been carefully cleaned, was lifted out and
placed on a sheet brought from the house.
The countenance was exposed io view and in
an instant the features of Dr. York were rec
ognized.
Some of the men there sat down and cried
like children, others turned aw*y sickened,
while with others the sight only nerved them
to continue the search.
While the detective was telling this hcart-
sickening story to the Times repot ter, ho
would stop aa he came to this lioinble scene,
at the finding of Dr. York’s body, and seem
to forget the present and go back in his agi
tation, to that terrible morning of the fifteenth
of May.
The work went on, and other bodies were
found, until in all, nine had been unearthed,
when Beers left In every ease except that
of the little girl, the skull was broken in the
back of the head.
The detective is of the opinion that the
murders were done in the following manner:
The parties either came or were enticed to
the house where the young woman engaged
them in conversation, tor she bad the reputa
tion in all that part of the country of being a
good talker. Then one of the men would
strike the visitor on the back of the head,
felling him to the floor, when the other would
strike him with a heavier sledge-like instru
ment Then it would be but the work of an
instant to drag the victim to the trap and cut
his throat In every case except that of the
child these terrible wounds were found in the
back of the head, and the throats were gashed
from ear to ear. Two hammers were found in
the house, which had evidently been used in
the manner described.
There was also something very peculiar
about the manner of burial. The graves
were all from three to five feet deep. The
bodies were straightened out with the right
hand drawn up and laid flat upon the right
breast. The left arm and hand were stretched
straight beside the body. This Mr. Beers in
formed the reporter has been a pass sign be
tween a large gang of cut-throats aud horse-
thieves working along the route from the mis
sion to Independence.
The news of the finding of York’s body
•pread like wildfire, and before night scores
of men had flocked to the place to aid in the
search. Among them came a German wholly
innocent of wrong, but because he happened
to be of the same nationality as the Benders,
the crowd strung him np three times to make
him confess, aud finally desisted upon Beers’
declaration that the man was innocent.
About a year ago, there was another mem
ber of the Bender family* a young man, but
he all at once disappeared. The supposition
is that in attempting to dispose of some vic
tim this Bender was either killed or mortally
wounded, and then secretly buried.
It seems that after the visit of Senator York
and bis party the Benders took the alarm.
The next morning the old man plowed the
field, and shortly afterwards they hitched up
and drove to Thayer, a station on the Gulf
road, twenty or twenty-five miles away, where
they were not known, arriving there in time
to taka a night train. It seems that they
stopped a little way out of town, unharnessed
the horses and tied them to the wagon. Then
leaving the dog with the team, they went to
the depot and left
The team remained out of town two or
three days, no one knowing to whom it be
longed. Finally the town marshal went out
and brought it in.
A day or two after that some country people
were in the town, and one o 1 them noticing
the dog which had been left with the team,
exclaimed: “Why, thero’s old Bender’s
dog!”
This led to some explanations, and the team
was readily identified. This led to a visit to
the Bender place, and then it was discovered
that the whole family had departed. This
was just before or about the time the detective
made his visit to the claim.
As soon as the bodies were unearthed. Beers
entered upon his search for the criminals. He
found that the Benders were co-operated with
a band of thieves, and just before hs left Kan
sas had sworn out warrants for the arrest of
twenty-two parties, many of them professedly
farmers holding claims in Southern Kansas.
Beers himself has assamed the difficult
task of hunting down the four members of the
Bender family. He succeeded in tracing them
until they left the State, and then had an
interview with the Governor of Kansas, who
authorized him to go ahead and hunt down
the murderers regardless of expenses.
With this understanding he started and ar
rived in St Lonis yesterday, having followed
a clear trial to this place.
The Benders left Kansas with about $10,000
aud Beers thinks that they have gone straight
to the seaboard with the intention of hiding
across the ocean.
Ho will follow as fast as the trail can be
picked up. Chief McDonough will render
every assistance possible.
