It EX PER FAMILY CRIMES.
Notorious Murdotvrj Who rim.lT-M
ani Robbed for Years.
Cherry v!e. Kan. The notorious Hon
dvr family of murd.rers have been run
to erth. Their victims arv numbonM
by the score. Their hiding places for
:hir:y years ha bevn a mystery.
lUi: at last four of the greatest crm
i: als of the West are- In the clutche of
:h- law and 'hesr fate will soon be set
tled. Govern r W. E. Stanley has Issu
ed v riHiuisltlon for them, and they are
beitic returned from their hiding place
in Colorado to ss.n i tr.al at this place.
Hang.tig. If not lynching, will end the
existemv of tiis family of slayers.
The bloody chapter of Kansas hUtotj
is (hat which chronicles the events
which occurred In :h:s tLibtevti county
!etvvevn the cl-we of the civil war and
1S75. N more brutal or daring' crimes
were committed In the who! .West, for
th i: matter. Men and women were
murdered by the wholesale. Their bel
ies could never be found. They would
start out along th,. public highway and
the earth seemeil to swallow them up.
The Bender family are comprise 1 of
William Bender and wife, his son Jtvi
aird daughter Kate. The children were
by a former wife of old man Bender.
They were of German descent.
Early in 1S70 the Bendsr came to
Kinsas and took possession of a quarter
section of land, the title of which was
clouded. It was Wcated near here and
in thick woods. It fronted the public
road, iheo a maha trail' to the West.
Home seekers from the East were
forcd to pass alornr this trail In their
search of unoccupied land oul West
further. If this road had not been such
a public one the crimes of thts noted
fami'.v would bav been less. But It
is suppose! that murder "was contem
plated when they erected a rude log hut
along the trail, at the top of hill.
Their plans were well laid.
Travellers arriving at this rude log
hut were told that It was a tavern for
their accommodation. Kate Bender,
then a yaong. woman of thirty, qutte
good looking for a farmer's daughter
of the hardy West, used to beguile the
weary travellers to stopv over night.
That was the last ever seen of them by
tbeir Iriends. Once having entered the
Bender tavern a man's fate was sealed.
The dining room of the Bender plsce
was built orer a cellar Into which the
victims were thrown, after having been
murdered. It is claimed that ome were
buried alive, the first blow not having
betn fatal. No attention was paid by
the blood-thirsty murderers to a mat
ter like rhat.
The method generally employed by the
Benders In killing their victims was to
hit them In the head with an axe. Kate
Bender ani her brother John, being
young and strong, took their positions
behinJ heavy curtains when the guwrs
sat dwn to their meals. The old peo
ple engaged the visitors In conversation.
Wh'n the time was opportune, a signal
was giver, the axe descended an 1 th
guests fell with a broken skull. A trap
door was sprung, their bodies fell into a
o-llar. where the remains were burled.
Victim Mlowed victim so rapidly that
the B-nd'rs then b-gan burying their
the B-nders then begin burying ;h-ir
lctim? In the corn field. Of course,
everything valuable waj removed 'r m
the bodies beforehand.
Horses and wagon belonging to the
travellers w-r,. driven into the Indhn
territory by acomplic-s and soli :i the
Indians, who, if they remembered their
sellers. r-fuel to give any information
1 1 onVers as to their identity m where
abouts. If the time was not opportune that is,
if the gut-st did not place himself in a
handy pla'.-e for being slauifh'.er-d dur
ing the meal he was attended to lat-r
n in the night. The beds were ea h
t'lced over a trap door, ani. after hav
ing retired, the Benders -drop-d 'he
trip, and when their victim fell into ;
darkness of the cellar he was killed it;
hand-to-hand battle.
No on -' ever visited th Ren Jer horn
and e.-v-ap-l t t--l! the tal--. Lik.. i
;i-'n galiows, every man who .vt l..s
foil I-side was doomed from ha: v--y
moment.
Tv,.- horrors of the 'Times Ahl'h ha.---been

tion with fear that even todjy th- ;i!i'-

K od-, has ben bur.ed, but the ; ,g l.u:

When the Benders first startnl on
their murderous mission they founl t.v
surrounding country well adapt -1 :o
making a murdor trap out of the horr. -.
The country had but lately been va-a -ed
by the Osage Indians and the to--punchers
and greasers ran at large ki.l
lng any one who they thought )..,
money. That Is why suspicion wi- n t
cent-red upon the Benders for s-im
time. The Benders sjaw the society in
to which they had fallen, and plann-d
to make a murder trap of their place
for y-Mrs. To 'Ms end they set out an
oivh.ir.l and ivintcd crops, miking a

Garbe- wis found In the pile of bne.
A smin n-vklace worn by Miss Anna
Koran, i young wanun of New Cr
ieans, hi cau-e West to writ up
Kansas In novel form, was also found
beside the skeleton of a woman. She
had d.sapoeired In September. 1S71. and
it is suppose! that she was a victim.
Although when a rai l was mide on
the B-'nder premises in 1S73 over fifty
skeletons were found In the csllar and
the cornfields. The old cltuera of this
place who took part in the digging Up
of the bo-lies are of the opinion that ful
ly one hundred people were murdered
by the Benders 'n their two years of j
slaughtering. Some of the known vie- i
thn3 of the Benders are Dr. .William. I
York. Independence, Kan.: W. F. Me-1

Brown. Cevlanale, Kan.; II. F. Mc-1
Kenxte. Xblesvllle, Ind.; O. W. Lan
s ho re. Independenvv, Kan., and others
whose Identity was never known.
Hundreds of unknown travellers passed
along the road by the Benders tavern.
and undoubtedly many of them were
beguiled into the place and killed for
their money.
But the undoing f the Benders com
menced In the fall of 1S7J, when Dr.
William York, a prominent physician of
Independence, disappeared. York was
also a nvmber of the state legislature
and had a great many friends. His horse
was found near the Benjler place, and a
brother of ths doctor caused the report
to- be circulated that the Benders had
murdered him tor his money. This
brother organlied a searching party, and
they made a ral I on the Benders, but
were repulsed at the point of shotguns.
The posses retired to get more help.
