A STORY OF TOM HORN.
f:ew the Large Cattle Owners Of wyo.
ming Have Made It unsafe for
the Little Ones,

The reason SO much stress was laid
on the recent Tom Horn murder case
In Wyoming. writes w. A. Brown in
Field and Farm, was because 1t had
been 80 many years coming to q head.
Why. remember fifteen years ago
when Judge McGinnis became SO dis
gusted with the work in the neighbor-
hood around where Wheatland is now
that he refused to have anything to do
with cattle squabbles and threw all the
cases out OF court The big cattle men
up around there were opposed to new
settlers coming In and cutting them
out OF any part Of the government
land. As soon as little fellow came
IN they set to work to make 1t so un-
comfortable that he would have to get
out.
They made practice of employing
cattle detectives 10 hound the little fel-
| lows and round them up on all sorts Of
charges of cattle stealing and maver-
licking. Things came to such pass
that Judge McGinnis lost all patience
The only evidence they brought up to
him was that offered by the paid cattle
| detectives, and he told them to go
home and quit bringing that sort of
stun to his court. The result was that
the cattle men took things more and
more into their hands, and became so
obsterperous that they organized the
raid of 1892 against the small home
steaders of Johnston county.
Dr. Barber was acting governor of
the state at that time and was friend
ly with all the big cattlemen. He is a
sort of Ward McAllister out this way
"a good-hearted fellow as ever was,
but easily led. His friends got him to
sanction the fitting up of the ammuni
ton train for the cattle men to go out
on the raid against the ranchmen and
afterwards he had to hustle around to
save the invaders from being massa-
cred. The ranchers united to defend
their homes. trapped the invaders and
would have shot them like wolves If
the United States troops had not been
sent to rescue them.
II cost the cattle men 100000 to de-
fend their performances that trip,
They employed every lawyer of any
ability in the country to help them out
OF their fix. Judge Lacey, who de-
Tended Horn, was one of the smartest
they had. They got off with fines and
some minor punishments. The big
cattle companies that we're mixed up in
that scandal are mostly out of exist
ence now, though some of them which
have been Horns employers, are the
outgrowth. They keep the same cattle
detective methods. The big companies
do not want the country settled up.
They want to acquire miles OF land
themselves and anybody who comes in
and files on small parcels of govern
ment land near them is no better than
thief in their estimation, and they
will treat the settlers that way until
they strike power greater than their
own.
The state herald., 1902-11-07
True Blue.

Bishop Vincent Of the Methodist
Church, and one of the founders of
the Chautauqua circle, tells of an in
cident that helped to make interesting
a summer he spent in the mountains
of Tennessee. Strolling thoughtfully
along'one day, he suddenly found HIM
self in the midst of very active
camp meeting Of negroes. Two or
three ministers present recognized
him, introduced him to others, and
soon the bishop found himself so pop
ular that he was fairly dragged to the
speakers platform and asked to say
something to the assemblage. He con-
sented, and one of the blacks stepped
forward to introduce the unexpected
visitor This master of ceremonies
went right to the point. He made the
gathering know that they were all of
one purpose and spirit, notwithstand-
Ing the difference In complexion, and
wound up as follows:
Now. brethren and sisters, Brother
Vincent, as yo' can see for yo'selves,
is white of face: but at heart, let me
tell yo'-at heart. say!-hes as
black as any of us"

Cape to Cairo Railroad.

Since the Boer war the road build
ers on the Cape to Cairo railroad have
been pushing 1t rapidly toward the

The roadbed has been graded for
about n third of the distance between

The most astonishing things are
done In Africa nowadays. and the

when II finds I'm few years more that
this long railroad. extending from the
extreme south of Africa TO the mouth
Of the Nile. is a full-fledged reality.
