Tom Horn HANGED.

A special telegram to the Sheridan
Enterprise from Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov.
20, says: Tom Horn, the convicted MUIR
derer of little Willie Nickel, was
hanged here at 1907 a. m. in the pres
ence of the few persons invited to wit
ness the last act in this most celebrat-
ed criminal case in the history of
Wyoming.
Promptly at the time selected by
Sheriff Smalley for the execution,
Horn was lead from his cell and, es-
corted by officials on either side, began
his last march on ear.h to the scaffold.
Without a tremor and without a sign
OF weakness he mounted the platform
and indifferently glanced at those
present. When asked if he desired to
make any statement he declined to do
so and the black cap was placed over
his head and at exactly HOY Horn
stepped on the trap and his weight
pulled the plug from the bucket that
started the water running and with a
downward rush the rope gave a jerk
and Tom Horn dangled in air.
No demonstra alton was made by his
friends, either Immediately before or
after the execution and nothing inter-
vened to mar the we'll laid plans of
Sheriff Smalley, who is to be congrat-
ulated on the successful termination of
his unpleasant duty.
II Horn had any secrets, or could
have given any information concerning
his many alleged murders, they are
now safely buried with his remains
unless written confession is left in
some living hands. His friends stood
by him to the last and in his death he
did not betray them.
There are at least seven murders
charged to his account, and how many
more is a matter of conjecture. The
murder for which he paid the penalty
was the killing of Willie Nickel,
which was committed on the morning
of July Is, 1901 at the Nickel Iron
Mountain ranch, and was a cold blood
w, hStti tiSoS iSt' "A lCW udyS dlleT
his name was connected with the muir
der but after telling the story to the
coroner he was discharged. On Au-
gust 4, it is charged, he shot Kels p.
Nickell the father of the murdered
boy, three times from ambush His
arrest and confession to- Joe Lefores
and his final conviction are all fresh
| in the minds of the reader. At his
trial he was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged. On appeal to the SUI
preme court the sentence was affirmed
and then the governor was asked to
commute his sentence to life imprison-
ment. Several attempts were made by
himself and friends to effect his escape
from jail, one of which proved success
full when ne and Jim McCloud over
powered the jailer and fought their
way out, but both were soon retaken
Since then strong guard has been
kept at the jail and any further at
tempt to beak out would have proven
! futile.

WILL DONATE GEDED STRIP
Senator Clark Says the Grow Reservation
Must be Opened up for Settlement

Senator Clark Says the Grow Reservation
Must be Opened up for Settlement.
From the Billings Times
The New York World of recent issue
says:
''The gift in fee simple of 1,15O, 900
acres OF as fine agricutur al and
grazing land as there is on the Ameri-
can continent to the people or citizens
OF a single state is d proposition so
stupendous as to cause one to think of
an Arabian Nights story. Yet this is
what William A. Clark. United States
senator from Montana, plans in case
the bill. which mas long been before
congress throwing open for settlement
stip of the Grow reservation, rs miles
east OF Billings, in the counties of Vel
lowstone, Rosebud and Custer, this
state, and Sheridan, Wyo., containing
the land mentioned, fails of passage at
the next session of congress.
Senator Clark, whose wealth is es-
timated at nearly 5000, 600, 600. will
shortly be in Billings to go over all
the ground contemplated in the pro-
posed Crow treaty, it being his wish
that every detail in connection there
with be made plain to him in order
that he may be able to present the
claim of the people of Montana as for
chilly as it can be presented to the next
session of congress, and he says that
unless favorable action be had on the
bill he Will procure the enactment of a
law empowering him to make a per-
sonal treaty with the Grow Indians,
and he will buy the tract outright on
his own personal possibility
! This purpose of Senator Clark was
recently communicated to Chief Plen-
ticues of the Crows, who immediately
summoned council of the head men
OF his tribe and the proposition was
thoroughly discussed, resulting in
ready acquiescence on the part of the
council IN the proposed scheme.
The execution of Senator Clark's
purpose will cost him something over
| -, 900, OOO. This to him would be a
mere bagatelle, yet it would enable
thousands of American homeseekers to
rise up as one man and eXclaim
''Great is Clark. Long live our bene-
factor''
"This is one of the most valuable
strips of agricultural land there is in
the country, and it is Senator Clark S
intention, if he has to buy the tract, to
have incorporated III the special act
empowering him to do so, "A clause alb
solving him from any claim to the land

This is an almost unbelievable story
Of a young fellow across the way who
wasn't charmed by the voice of a sweet
singer who spent many hours day
warbling popular airs. Stories that
begin with a man and a maid housed
on opposite side of the street, and have
a denouement of songs and watching
at the window, usually end in an early
engagement and a hurried trip to the
altar. This doesn't. Braley, the man
in the case, lives in a ront parlor out
on the soutn. side. A Miss Somebody
or-Other lives just across the street,
one flight up. She has a ''voiceo and
keeps it busy, and when Braley first
heard the voice he congratulated him
self on his good fortune. He was still
congratulatlng himself at the end of the
first week. BY the end of the. second
he knew all the songs. When three
weeks had passed he began saying
rude things about the girl over the
way. Last week was the forth, and
When he went home one evening he
heard one of the old favorite songs. He
went to his room, got a large piece of
cardboard, large enough to fill the
window, and printed on it: "Continu-
Gus performance. Heartrending re-
pertoire. No change of program. All
the musical crimes enacted every hour.
Admission free. " Braley left the sign
in the window the next day, and he
hasn't heard a song since. Perhaps
the girl with the voice read and under
stood.--Montana Daily Record.
