During the twenty-five months that
Horn was confined in the county Jail
there were frequent reports of plots
to liberate him. Many of these plots
had been arranged, but the publicity
given them and the preparation made
at the Jail to resist an attack had the
desired effect. On August last Horn,

character, who is alleged to have MUIR
dered Ben Minnick in Big Horn coun-
ty, overpowered Jailer Proctor and es-
capped to the street, but the jailer had

At that time Horn attempted to kill
Proctor
1t is estimated that the conviction of
Horn cost Laramie county upwards of
$4,000, and that Horns friends spent
ven a greater amount in their efforts

will finally pass. Sugar and tobacco,
under the bill. will pay but one-half

looked upon with universal favor by
those of the sugar-producing states.

bacco producers want 1t to become
