From what Is known Of Horn by the

the stock detective, and b. reading his
own story of his life, the following may
be said to be az nearly true narrative
OF his career as can be obtained.
BORN IN MISSOURI
Tom Horn was born IN Scotland
county Missouri. In November 1850
and had he lived another day he would
have been AZ years Of age. he was
driven away from home by his father
In the fall OF 1874. His father was soon
after compelled to flee to the British
possessions to escape the officers, who
were after him on several charges of
forgery and check raising. II is said
also that the elder Horn was the leader
OF notorious band of Scotland county
horse thieves, and that at one time he
was a member OF the James gang OF
train robbers He died few yeara
ago in Van Couver.

the mail company. The country was
| filled with hostile Indians and Horn
had frequent brushes with the Apachos,

,
Cheyenne, wyo., Nov. 20.--For weeks
past arrangements have been making
for Tom Horn, at one time celebrated
army scout, Indian fighter and trailer
but who later became notorious
through his work as stock detective
on the ranges Of Wyoming and Col
orado, to be hanged IN the Laramie
county jail today. and thus make atone
mont for the murder OF William Nickel,
the 13-year-old son of Ranohman Kels
7. Nickel of Iron Mountain, 90 miles
north of Cheyenne, whom Horn assas-
slnated on the morning of6uly is, 1901.
The murder was one of the most
atrocous crimes In the history OF the
west and while Horns name was con-
nected with the murder of a number
OF ranchmen who had been put out OF
the way because they were "rustling"
cattle Il was not believed that he could
have killed the boy 1t was said the
killing OF the child was a mistake"
and such proved to be the case. The
prosecution of Horn brought to light
the inner workings OF range fued Of
long standing, aud at one time It APP
peared there might be many arrests
among the wealthy cattle barons but
nothing came OF the matter.
HIS OWN EXECUTIoNER.
The plan was for Horn to be his own
executloner; for to spring the trap by
his own weight upon 1t, which draws i
plug from pail of water and when
the water runs out heavy weight
falls, pulling out n prop that holds n
trap In place, causing the murderer TO
drop into eternity. Thousands of PEG
pie gathered outside of the county Jail
thinking that the execution woLld be
held in the court yard. but the authori-
ties feared an attempt would be made
TO liberate Horn, so the execution was
set to take place inside and in the
presence OF six of Horns friends, five
or six officers and newspaper men.
