Mr.. Haynes checked his wandering

he was a man capable of jealousy.
'"Then 1 will say goodbye now" he said.
Dorothy stopped swinging her feet. and

Dorothy summoned all her pride or per-

She did not raise her eyes above the white
clerical band round his throat, until she
became aware that he was holding her
hand tightly. How dared he! She looked
up, the blue eyes and the grey ones met,
and each read the secret that both were toe

poral who had founght in 81 in the bat

notes. To hear them one would think they
had but TO appear on any field and the
enemy would run with the speed OF

their ancient liberties wrested from the
crown by sas'a ssas@a, and all had many

that he had rounded Cape Horn IN a

inspector for the Indian territory to
the secretary of the interior empha-
sizes the dangerous conditions sur
rounding the coal miners there and
points to the fact that oil produc-

are now 1870 coal openings in the In

prospect holes and strippites. Most
of the operators have suffered from

TON HORN FOUND GUILTY.
The Famous Scout Convicted Of the Mar
der Of Willie Nicksli-Horn's TO-
Called Confessioa

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 25.-Tom
Horn, the famous scout and stock
detective, was yesterday evening
found guilty Of murder in the first
degree. The trial Of Horn for the
murder Of Willie Nickel, IA years
old, son Of Kels Nickel, OF July is,
1901, at his fathers ranch in the Iron
mountain country, was begun Octo-
Der 10. The arguments were finished
and the case given to the jury at
11:25 o'clock yesterday. The verdict
was reached before five o'clock in the
evening. The claim Of the prosecu-
ton was that Horn, in the pay OF
certain large cattle owners, killed
the Nickel boy in an effort to fright
en- his father and cause him to leave
the country. The strongest evidence
against Horn was his own confession,
made to Deputy Sheriff Joseph h.
La Fors, in which he gave minute de-
tails Of the crime. Horn at the trial
admitted making the confession, but
claimed 1t was false and only made
in q Dragging way while he and La
Fors were exchanging yarns.
Horn has long been known on the
frontier as q fearless scout and
served with the American army in
Cuba in charge Of a pack train.

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, Oct. 25.-The
Mohonk Lake Indian conference
opened yesterday with an address BY
John Seger, who has been superin'
tendent Of an agency school in Okla
homa since 1872. Mr.. Seger said that
the recent revival of the sun dances
among the Cheyennes and other
tribes had had a %demoralizing effect,
promoting idleness, profigacy and
other evils. He thought the dances
should be absolutely prohibited.
Rev. DR.. Alexander Twombly, who
has been a resident Of Hawaii for
some time, addressed the conference
on the present situation in those is
lands. He said that conditions there
were dark and depressing. Crime
drunkenness, idleness and other vices
were on the increase. The worst ele-
ments in Hawaii to-day, he declared
we're the low-down Americans, car
petbaggers, Adventures and other
scum from the states, who had drift
ed there in recent years.
