PUBLIC LIBRARY BUSINESS
WOmRn's Club Committed Asks the
Board TO Maintain Garden
Plat.

All members Of the library board were
present at the regular monthly meeting last
night. A Communication was read from
the city improvement committee OF the
Woman's club asking the board to take
upon itself the work OF maintaining the
garden plot they had established on the lot
east OF the library building. 1t was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee for a re-
port on the legal authority OF the board to
expend money out OF the library fund for
that purpose on property not under its
Brown of Hot Springs, Ark, offering to sell
the collection Of crystals on deposit in the
museum which formed a part of the geo.
logical exhibit of the Transmississippi ex-
position was laid over to await the time
when the library finances should be more
elastic. .
BY resolution the judiciary committee
was instructed to compile the amendments
that have been made to the bylaws since
the organization of the board and make
recommendation OF such changes as thought
advisable. The subject of charter limitR-
lions OF the library und was taken under
discussion and finally referred to the ex-
ecutive committee to see that the inter
ests OF the library should be adequately
considered In case the revision Of the
charter should be undertaken by the COM
ing legislature.
Besides receiving the regular monthly re-
ports of the library, bills aggregating

HORN ASKS FOR A NEW TRIAL
Attorneys Assert They Have Confess
sion that Another Killed
wiUie Nickel.


CHEYENNE, wyo., oct. S1.-Cspeoial)-
The motion for a new trial in the Tom
Horn murder case will not be argued until
some time next week. when. It is said,
Horns attorneys will make some sensa-
tional charges on which to base their APP
p~lication for a new trial. Among other
things the attorneys charge that the jury
that convicted Horn was tempered with;
that the court denied the admission Of GER
tain evidence by which the defense sought
to show that another man committed the
murder.
One Of the attorneys for Horn said to-
day that he had secured the confession OF
the man that killed Willie Nickel, and
that this confession would be used as an
argument to secure a new trial. Tom
Horn did not kill that boy" said the at
torney. This we can prove. Horn was
convicted by the public clamor for his
blood, but when the people know the truth
of the matter they will be as anxious to
give Horn a fair trial as we are"
There have been talks that an attempt
would be made to liberate Horn, but the
authorities take little stock in the rumors.
The sherit's force has been strengthened.
however, and no chances will be taken.
Should Horns friends attempt to set him
free there would be bloodshed before the
delivery was accomplished.
Horn is beginning to show the effects
Of the terrible strain through which he has
passed. He spends his time in reading
books and in meditation. He has lost flesh
and does not eat his meals with relish.
The prediction is made that he will not be
granted a new trial, and also that when he
is satisfied he will be hanged he will mako
