taken te Reading en the 3:40 train yostcr yestcr
dav afternoon.
The Reading officer's warrant was en
dorsed by Alderman Harr and from the
e lhversatieti that followed between the
nldennan and constable It appears that
William is a gay deceiver.
The alderman is well acquainted with
Christ and when he saw the name en the
warrant he told the constable that he had
been engaged te perferm a marriage cere
mony for Christ. The Reading olllcer
knew Christ well and said Christ was
engaged te be married te a woman In
Reading and the coremony was te take
place in a few days.
Censtable I'rice was assigned te assist
the Reading ofUcer In finding Christ and
after looking for him soveral hours and net
being able te find him, Alderman Barr
suggested the home of his Lancaster In
tended wlfe be visited. Her name, Mrs.
Emma llutt, was obtained from the mar
riage liconse docket and her residence as
certained and thore Christ was found.
He was taken te the station heuse and
locked up. -
It was only a few weeks age that Christ's
wife obtained n divorce from him en tlie
ground of adultery and bastardy com
mitted witli a Heading woman, but the
woman he Is; new engaged te in that city
is net tlie ene lie wronged.
Christ admits that no ewes Oswald a
beard bill, but he donles that he ran away
from Reading with the intention of do de
fraudlnghlm. THE MAYe'lt'S COURT.

sional conlldenco man in Worcester, Mass.,
ou Saturday and the information that he
is iiotie ethor than Geergo II. Mix, who
spent the summer at Pittsfield, at the
Maplowoed hotel, has given l'lttslleld
society circles a sovero shock, for Mix had
become very prominent there, and made a
most comlertablo position for himself
among the local four hundred.
He arrived thore in August and an
nounced himself us a wealthy banker from
Minneapolis en an indollnlte vacation for
his health.IIe was pessessed of much meney
und nesed as a man who could command
anything purchnsable. He entered largely
into the social llfe of the hotel, being a
prominent tigureut all the linns and ger
mans, and made himself solid with the
ladies at overy opportunity.
Guests at the hotel considered hi in mildly
insane. He had many peculiarities, ene of
his passions being for Jewelry. He carried
thrce line geld watches, had seven nr eight
expensive chains, and dressed in the height
of fashion. His cliief mania appeared te
be in buying odds and euds or all sorts
down town and presenting them te the
ladies at the hotel. He avoided the society
ofthe men as much us possible, and usually
withdraw when they uppreachnd a party
of ladies whom he was cnterUining. He
was formally introduced te Pittsfield
society ut ii party given ut the home of a
promineiit citizen six week-ttge, and from
that day until his dopurttlre, a week age,
he was wined and dined by the best people

Queen street, wliore a man was engaged iu
the somewhat fashlonable pastime of beat

HELD AS KATE AND MRS. BENDER.
w .
End of the Preliminary Examination of
Mrs. Menreo and Sirs. Davis.
The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Menreo and Mrs. Eliza Davis, tlie wotneu
who are supposed te be old Mrs. Bender
and ICate Bender respectively, was con
cluded in. Oswego, Kansas, late Tuesday
night, and tlie three justices bofero whom
tbe examination was made decided that the
evidence was strong enough te warrant
their holding the prisoners without ball
te await the action ofthe grand Jury.
Mrs. Menreo and Mrs. Davis were the
last witnesses. They testified readilv.
answering te all questions without oinbar einbar oinbar
rassment or apparently without conceal cenceal conceal
tnent. The gencral public thore is in sym
pathy with tlie priseners, and much sur
prise was expressed when the justices an
nounced their decision.
The story of the crimes of the Bender
family iu Kansas stands almost unpar
alleled in criminal history. The family
consisted of "old man" Bender, his wife
and soveral sons and daughters, of which
Kate had the reputation et belug the most
fiendish member.
The scoiie ei their butcheries was near
Parsons, Labette county, in the extrome
southeastern part of tlie state, bordering ou
the Indian territory. They kept tavern. At
the time that portion ofthe West was wild
and deselate and filled with the most dos des dos
pcrate class of criminals.
Tlie heuse was admirably arranged for
rebbery and murder. Tlie front room was
separated from the back by a thin curtain.
When a man onlercd whom the family pro
posed te 10b he was Invited te take a seat
with ills back te the curtain. Sometimes
soveral travelers arrived togetherat the
wayside inn. Theu an equal ntimber of
members of tlie family, eager for bleed and
boety.eonccalodthoinsolvos behind the cur
tain, and each selecting a victim, would
await the given signal te brain the unsus
pecting guest. Sometimes the stranger
would change his seat. Then the family
areused thomselves te bocemo exceedingly
joceso and entertaining. The old man re
lated storles of hairbreadth escapes, daring
robberies and Incidents of early llfe en the
plains. Games wero propesod and all sorts
of merriment was ludulged iu. Among
the games would be ene in which the trav
eler hed te get down en ills kuces en u
pllle-v and be blindfolded. Tiie pillow was
placed directly ever the trapdoor, and at
the right time Kate would step from the
curtain, and, dealing tlie victim a blew en
the back ofthe skull with a large hammer,
followed it up by a blew en the temple
with a smaller one, which finished the
travoler. Then tlie trap deer was pulled
and the victim foil a corpe into the cellar
belew.
Tlie herrible dica-vcry that they had
lnurdercd and but in the premises evor
a dozen strangers i, made through the
search of Kansas women, whose husbands
had left home. She traced him as far us
Benders, und there took u room for tlie
night.
It was u room In tlie second story, and,
looking around, she saw ou the bureau u
small lecket that uttracted her attention.
Opening it she saw a plcture of herself that
she recoguized as ene iter husband always
wero. She feared te rctlre, and, putting
out the light, awaited in the darkness.
It was a bright moonlight night, and as
she looked out upon the orchard she saw a
light moving about. She lest no time iu
elfectlng her escajie from tlie window onto
a perch, and, moving in u stealthy manner
towards the orchard, clesely watched the
movements of the people. Wlien they
dls.ippe.ircd she went te the spot and dis
covered a newly-dug grave.
Paralyzed with horror ut the sight ofthe
grave that was intended for her, she re
mained in concealment en the praliies
until morning came, when, repairing te
ene of the neighbors, she related what she
had scen and Jlieard, und produced the
locket us continuation.
Tlie news spread rapidly, and a pesic was
formed but it was tee late. The murderous
family hud fied, leaving their bteek und
cattle.
Over a dozen graves wero found, ten In
ene spot, besldes soveral bodies in the
cellar. The Identity of all tlie victims was
never fully learucd, but among ethers who
wero identified wero Dr. Yerk, of Indo Inde Indo
pendenco, Kan., and a young man named
Williford, of Athens, Ga.

deii rolling mill, was secretary.
The meeting was calling for the purpose
of considering the advisability of leinuiig
a regular association for ut least ene year.
The question was discussed at length, and

cated with and requested te call a meeting
of that association at us eariy a day us pos
sible te consider the condition of the busi

It was thought best te leave that matter

of running away. "
He had seen an account of Flynn'a
death In the papers, but it never occurred
te him that Flynn was the unknown man
with whom he had hed an altercation
soveral weeks before.
Majer Joe Stewart. the genial Southern
gcntleman whose efterts en behalf of the

"Say that I uuthorize this sUteincnt In

moustache He wclglied about 100 pounds,
wero a derby hat and was gonteel looking.
He was net drunk, but had ovldently been

found that my knlfe was tee small, and 1
struck out at the man again with my um

I thought he was about te draw a plf-tel.
At this moment two gentlemen camu up
