PUNISHMENT OF AssAssINs.
King Peter Says It Would Be a Diff.
cult Matter Now.

CUT mdIISr NOW.
Vienna. June 24.-King Peter ar
rived here from Genoa at 9:35 p. M.
and left again for Belgrade at 1910.
He received a warm welcome from the
Servian, Crotian and M%ontenegrin
students and from a delegation from
Belgrade, headed by the mayor.
In an interview which he gave
while on his way hither. King Peter
'dwelt on the difficulty of furnishing the
assassins of King Alexander and Queen
Draga in view of their pardon by the
:Servian national assembly prior to his
election as king.
King Peter is ACCOMPANIED to Bel
igrade by his brother. Prince Arsene.
and his son, Prince George.
The reports from Belgrade vary con.
.cerning the attitude of those oncer
led in the assassinations. While it is
said positively that at a meeting held
last Sunday the c%onspirators decided
that in the event of an effort being
made to prosecute them they would
all commit suicide, another report
says the conspirators decided to make
q vigorous stand against any plan to
exact a penalty for the crime.

The Revival of an Old Favorite.

A splendid revival of East

and capable company at the Canon
City opera house next Friday, October
30. This play has of late years been
allowed to lapse into the property OF
cheap priced and cheap talented com.
panies to such an extent that its
dramatic worth and possibilities have
been forgotten. But EAST Lynne
was constructed in the old days when
the drama was not so varied and pos.
sibly not so perverted as today and
the play has many of those elements
which entitle it to long life. AS
presented by Miss Forman. John Dill.
Ion and their company it secured new
life and promises to be extremely pop.
ular.
The present revival finds the old
play remodeled in order to lnfuse q
greater amount of comedy. but after
the first two acts the tragedy Of it all
cumulative and fatalistio. comes in
and changes the tenor of the piece.
The role of Lady Isabella, starting ss
the wiDsome. home coming bride,
demands change to the jealous mad
and sin-sorrowing wife. 1t Is hard
gamut. but Miss Forman runs it well.
She is graciously sweet in the first
act. but rises well with the tides Of

THE LIFE OF
TOM HORN
Condemned Man Writes His
Own Autobiography ).
Some of the Incidents Connected
With Ills Existence SAID to be
Weirdly and Wonderfully
Exciting.

Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 30-In addi-
tion to the autobiography which Tom
Horn has written it is said that there
are several more lives Of the oelebrat-
ed desperate in course of preparation.
be placed on the market as soon as
his career has come to close. Some
of the incidents related in these mar
ratiyes are said to be weirdly and
wonderfully exciting and it is expect
ed that the olives will have a large
sale throughout the west.
The law of Wyoming regarding
the care of condemned criminals does
not provide that death watch shall
be placed and there are few instances
where this has been done. There
is none over Horn. although the extra
deputies who are constantly on duty
might be SO termed. The identity of
these deputies Is known to the Jail
officials only This precaution it is
presumed, is taken to prevent friends
of Horn from approaching the guards
with propositions to aid in the escape
of the condemned man.
Horn appears to be remarkably un-
affected by his approaching do ON.
His demeanor is much the same as be-
fore his trial and he has given no
evidence that fear forms any part of
his makeup. Those who know how
he is bearing up under the strain of
his position prophecy that he will
