FACED Death.
Shielded Her Sweetheart with
Her Body While He Laapsd
For Life.

Millerton, N. y, June 25.-There is a
man hunt in progress on Alander
mountain. Sheriff Kellerhouse and an
armed posse. have gone TO capture
Henry Horn, the desperado, who is the
terror of Copake. 1t is believed that
Horn may now be at bay in some one
of the rocky Businesses on the upper
slopes that he knows so well. He has
sworn never TO be taken alive.
Every endeavor has been made TO
capture Horn by strategy, but he has
invariably outwitted his pursuers. The
people on the mountain have come 20
believe that he is too much for the
power of the law. They call him "Har-
ry the Tough" He is also known as
"Kipp."
Two attempts We're made In the last
few days TO catch the outlaw, and both
failed. Things have come TO such pass
that he now stands charged with hair
the crimes committed I'm the county.
Warrant after warrant has been issued
against him, charging arson, burglary
and various assaults.
FOLLOW GIRL TO TRAP OUTLAW.
His latest offence recalls the days OF
bold Robin Hood. Horn came down
from the mountain and won the love of
the fairest maid in all the valley, En-
gelina Vosburg, the daughter OF a
farmer. When the deputies supposed
he was skulking in some mountain
cave, he was within few miles OF Coz
pake counting this girl.
When the truth was learned, the
sheriff thought to capture the outlaw
by watching the maid. She was seen
driving out in one of her fathers bug
gies. A deputy followed and was con-
vinced she was on the way 10 meet
Horn. 1t was presumed she would re-
turn with the young man and Ii was
decided 10 capture him by leading him
into an ambush
Soon the girl came back. with Horn
in the buggy. and when the officers
seized the horse and epcircled the
wagon. the desperate leaped for his
life and fought his way through the
deputies. Shot after shot was fired in
the direction he had gone. Once the
outlaw cried, as if i'm pain.
Don't shoot him, Don't shoot him!"
the girl cried, as she sat in the buggy.
Arrest her." some OF the men said,
after Horn had escaped.
NO." said the sheriff, ~'let the girl
GO"
THIRTY-FOOT LEAP FOR LIFE.
There was method in this, IL proved,
for the plan was TO watch her again.
II was known she was faithful enough
20 her intended to carry him food and
while he was hunted like
wild animal in the woods.
1t was yesterday morning that she
was followed through the woods again
by a deputy and found sitting at the
feet, near big rock on the
edge of a cliff. The spy crept down and
told the sheriff. Hastily a posse was
gathered-farmers. merchants. hotel
keepers, an undertaken and a doctor.
After a long line was formed. the
deputies. guns in hand. closed in on tho
outlaw. Twenty simultaneously shout
ed Hands up"
Horn sprang to- his feet, but the girl
got in front of him. so nobody could
shoot. The outlaw hesitated. but only
for an instant. and then bodily leaped
from the cliff thirty feet to the ground
below, and disappeared. None dared to
follow though the girl taunted the
deputies with her laughter.
The mountain was nearly sur
and the alarmed residents are
confident the outlaw has not been able
to break through the line.
