THROWN INTO 1 CANYONMO*TA*A MAJI TELLS HOW TH«BEIDER FAMILY PERISHED.WAS ONE OF THE AVENGERSii—'i—Graphically H* Related the Stori' of the Par.nli, bat He I* 9tlftntmm to IVtalla of tho •»Eireatlna. * ^Every now and then some more or*less atrocious crirru- committed in th« South causes correspondents to hint darkly, or sometimes openly assort, that it is connected with gome mem bet! or «rion of tn» Binder family. TM* notorious family liv*d about 30 years ago at Cherryvale, about 30 mile* be* low Independence. Kan., and consisted of a father, mother, son and daughter. The son was the younger of the tw^ children, and his share in the man*murders committed was never known* Kate, the daughter, was a young woman of considerable attractiveness, anA she acted as a lure to many of the un-* wary victims.The stories told and repeated of the!* crimes are many and awful, and, Ilk* all such sources of sensational literature, have been drawn upon frequently by imaginative writers for exaggerated, thrilling tales. Only last fall Kate Bender figured in a mysterious murder. Another time last year a man who had trouble with his wife claimed she w«ui the great and only Kate Bender, and! his assertion was given some credence.Th*»se thinK» were being talked of one day in the presence of the writer, when a man, whose name, for obvious reasons, Is withheld, spoke up.1 tell you.’* he said, “If everybodyknew those Benders h* well as I did. there would be less of thai kind of talk. That chap that has Kate Bender for a wife must be a spiritualist; and any one who has shaken hands with any of the rest of the family since I saw them la*t must have had an asbestos glove.
