TOM HORN, MURDERER.
Western Desperate Who Has Had an Unpar.
allie led Career.

Disappointed in love made a des-
perado of Tom Horn and by gradual
stages he has descended into the abyss
Of crime until now he is what might
be called a professional murderer For
the paltry sum of 5000 he will agree
to take the life Of any man, even
though he may have no personal griev-
ance to redress. no motive other than
gain to serve. Horn is now in Jail
at Cheyenne, Wyo, charged with hav.
ing wantonly taken the life of lad
of IA named Willie Nickel, and there
is a good prospect that he will paw
for his many crimes with his life. He
is believed to have killed at least six
men. although he has succeeded in de-
stroying all evidence or those deeus
that would be sufficient to convict him
in court Of law.
Horn is a handsome mana fine
speciman Of the hardy frontiersman.
Some years ago he was chief of scouts
for a party Of Americans travelling in
northern Mexico. In a small town in
this region he met the woman who
turned the entire course of his life
and made Of him an outlaw fit only to
adorn scaffold.
The woman in the case was the beau
tiful daughter of wealthy Spaniard
who resided in the town. 1t was a
case Of love at first sight. The seno-
rita promptly threw over a young Sec
ond lieutenant in the Mexican army
to whom she was engaged. The lieu.
tenant and Horn met in the public
square OF the village one afternoon
and the officer promptly slapped
Horns face. The scout whipped out
his six-shooter as quick as a wink
and shot the officer dead.
Horn fed to the mountains, where.
aided by friendly Indians. he made his

way out across the border to Eagle
Pass, Tex, where he was Joined a
month later by his senorita. The cou.
pie were to have been married. but
upon the day set for the nuptials the
girl received word that her mother
was dead and she hurried away to her
home to attend the funeral, promis-
ing to return and marry Horn inside
of q month.
The scout waited one month. two
months, and year sped by. but his
senorita never returned and gradu-
ally Horn drifted to the plains OF
Wyoming. Since the day when he
realized that the beautiful Mexican
would never return to him the scout
has probably pursued as deliberately
villainous a career as any criminal
that ever lived.
Because Of Horns exploits there has
been a reign of terror among the
ranching districts for more than
twelve years. During this period
many murders have been committed
on the plains Of Wyoming, northern
Colorado, western Nebraska and
southern Montana. The victims have

cattle barons intended to make a clean

The cattlemen were betrayed, how.

with murder, and, after several weeks
spent in trying to secure a jury, they
