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. ATLANTA PAPER MILLS.
