had killed as Smith and Montgomery,
he took his companion to the railroad
station at Opal, on the Oregon Shor
Line, for medical attendance. Horn
says there is no question as to their
Icing members of the gang that robbed
the Union Pacific train at Wilcox, as
their trail was struck shortly after
hat affair and had been followed all
the time, although occasionally lost,
and taken up again.
Horn was met here by ex-Chief Of

being that they came here to make up

IT ISN'T TRUE.

Tom Horn, the detective, was In the
city yesterday. He just returned from
the Hole-in-the-Wall country, where
he has been looking for the Wilcox
train robbers. He is in the employ Of
the Union Pacific and says the COM
pany does not intend to abandon the
search for the murderers until they are
captured or killed. The sensational re-
port in the Denver News that a posse
had run down and killed two Of the
robbers is not true. The officers were
on the trail and one Of the posse was
wounded a few days ago, but none Of
the robbers were shot. The officers
know the men who committed the
robbery and the murder Of Sheriff
IIazen, and they look forward to their

Followed by Detective Tom Horn and

Ground-The Story Denied.

This mornings Denver News con-
tains the following from Cheyenne:
Tom Horn of Iron mountain, the dar-
ing scout and detective, was in the city
today and, being questioned as to the
dispatch in yesterdays News report
ing the killing of two train robbers in
the mountains recently, said that the
report was true, but that the locality
of the fight was not in the Hole-in-the-
Wall, but about forty miles west of
Jackson's Hole, and the affair took
place about three weeks ago. He states
he had only one man with him at the
time-a half-breed Indian, who knew
the country thoroughly. After follow
ing the trail of the two men for nearly
a month. they came upon them in camp
just as they were getting supper. One
was engaged in frying bacon and the
other at some distance from the fire,
getting their traps together. He and
his companion at once opened fire on
them. the man who was cooking being
first hit. The other man sprang be-
hind a tree and began shooting rapid
ly, one of his shots hitting the half
breed in the leg. Horn advanced and
finally got the other man as he was
trying to escape.
Both men were left dead on. the

VOGELSANG ACQUITTED.
Jury Consumed Only a Few Minutes in
Arriving at Verdict.

At about ) o'clock last evening in
Justic Hayford's court, the jury in the
case of the city against A. Vogelsang,
charged with renting a house for i'm
moral purposes, brought in a verdict
of not guilty, having been absent from
the court room only a few minutes.
The defense set up the plea that the
house in question is not entirely the
property of the defendant. The land
on which the house stands is owned by
Mr.. Vogelsang and there is an agree
ment between him and the occupants
that the latter should build the house
and after five years the building should
become the property Of the former.
This period of FIVE years has not yet
expired.
A large crowd witnessed the trial of
the case, which was prosecuted by City
Attorney Arnold. NJ. c. Jahren appear
ed for the defense.

Do You Eat Out or 1ns

The number and variety of knives

There are also knives to correspond TO
