BENDER FAM'LY FATE.
OM Indian cont Telle of tlie Killing
All the Murderer.
E. T. Pierce, more familiarly know i
a "Iod" Pierce, one of the oldest
mid most reliable Indian scout of the
lilaek Hills, ha given out a story
about the Homier family, of Kansas,
which seem fo show- Hint there Is no
further need of ihe authorities M'liivh
lug for the family.
Pierce Is a reliable tnnii. nnd for the
first time lie tell what he know of
thp case. He had n friend In the 70s,
who was also well known in the Black
Ifllli. and before the friend died ic
related to Pierce the Incidents relative
to the killing of nil the member of
the Render family.
When the York family wan killed
and the tragedy wiih traced to the
home of the Renders. Pierce's friend
was among those from the city of
Cherryvnle vho went out to Invest 1
gate the condition of thing nt the
Render rondhoiise. There were twenty-four
men In tlie party, me o;' the
men liclng an otd buffalo hunter. They
found the house deserted nnd In
searching the bouse Ihe bedstead ,ln
the west room, about which so much
lins been said, wus found to lie full of
bullet holes, and dried blood wus on
the mnl tress. They fouutl the trap
door behind the curtain, which led Into
the cellar, lulo which the (lend bodies
hud been thrown until dark, when
they were taken out Int.i the garden
und burled.
The earching party next went nut
into the garden ni'd looked for the
spot where the bodies had been buried.
A wagon rod was used to probe the
ground for a soft place, nud llnnlly
a spot wns found that Was soft. After
digging down a short way the body
of one of the York children was found
nud the contortions of rile face nud
body made It took us though the
child had been buried alive. Fftccn
bodies were found, including that of
a Texas cattleman who was supposed
to have been shot in the west room.
The old Rulfalo hunter had been
looking nrotiml for the trail of the
family. The trail of a wagon was
found and the buffalo hunter followed
It up nil day. About nightfall heciitni!
upou Hie family, camped near n creek.
The scout returned to the puny of
Cherryvnle men ::nd reported his find.
They agreed upen going buck with
the scout nud exterminating the entire
family. The posse wns divided lino
three parts, and the Render family
was surrounded. One of tiie passe
accidentally discharged his rifle before
the proper time, which gave the warn
ing of danger to the Render people.
They Immediately prepared for de
fence. The buffalo hunter lired at
long range nt old man Bender and bit:
him in the back, killing him.
Another volley from the posse nnd
John and hi mother fell deud. Kate
wns the lust, one to be tdiot. The
pnsse then went to the seeue nutl
piled Iiie four dead bodies In a heap
ntnl burned them, milling to the fire
wagon, harness nud the cnnip outQt.
Everything thnt would not burn wns
taken to the creek ban'; and covered
over with dirt.
This Is the story thnt "Doe" Pierce
tells for tilt! llrst. time since his friend
confided the facts to him twenty yearn
