Tom Horn Is Convicted.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Oct 25.-Tom Horn,
the famous scout and stock detective,
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree The trial of Horn for the muir
der of Willie Nickel. 14-year-old son of
Kells Nickel, on July IT, 1901, at his
fathers ranch in the Iron mountain
country. was begun October 10. The
claim of the prosecution was that Horn,
in the pay of certain large cattle own
ers, killed the Nickel boy in an effort
to brighten his father and cause him to
leave the country. The strongest evil
dence against Horn was his own con-
fession in which he gave minute details
of the crime. Horn at the trial admit
ted making the confession, but claimed
it was false and only made in a brag-
ging way while he and Lafors were ex-
changing yarns.

\ The day for the general election
will be- Tuesday, November 4th. Let
every white voter remember the day,
so that he can look up the registra-
tion certificate, In order that he may
go to the polls and cast his ballot as
he should. Many Of our people look
upon this matter as OF secondary con
sideration. It is not only Incumbent
by reason Of the pledge at the Demo-
cratic primaries to support the nolmi-
nees, but 1t enables o,rreprcscnta-
tives in Congress to present a strong
case when o contest exists, as Is gem
orally the case. This one thing, ii 5ifor
no other consideration, should make
us go to the polls on the fourth OF
November and cast a ballot gfor tho
Democratic standard bearers. 1t is
the intention Of the Republicans to
nominate a congressional candidate lii
each districti in South Carolina for the
sole purpose ,of getting 5up5 contests
should the next congress bc Republi-
can. Every Democrat should vote and
give our congressional candidates a
rOilSing majority, s s. 4. !; iii3 .li IN.
