HORNS NECK Is BROKEN
The Degrading Death Of the Nan in Charge
Of the Parry of Scouts Who Cap
iuie the Celebrated indian
Eor,psp,,
Geronimo.
(By the Associated Press.)

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov 20.-Tom Horn,
scout Indian fighter, and cattle detective.
today went smiling to the gallows to ex-
plate the crime of numbering Willie Nickel
IA years old, whom Horn shot and killed
on July IS, 1901, at Iron Mountain. The
trap dropped at 11:OS o'clock. Horns
neck was broken and sixteen minutes later
he was pronounced dead
With almost his last words spoken to
an intimate friend, Charles Irwin, spec
tator at the execution, Horn denied that
he had confessed to the murder for which
he was 10 die. He mad no speech on
the scaffold.
The condemned man was calm to the
end. Ten minutes before going to the
gallows, he lay on his cot smoking a
cigarette. After the forty spectators had
been admitted to the jail and Horn had
come out of the cell the execution was
delayed while Rev George H. Rafter
prayed and Charles and Frank Irwin sang
a cowboys railroad song, Keep Your
Hand Upon the Throttle and Your Eye
Upon the Rail-" bringing tears to the
eyes of all the listeners except those of
Horn himself.
| At the conclusion of the song came
an interview between Horn and Irwin.
BE game" said Irwin
you bet l will" replied Horn, who
| then assisted Sheriff Proctor and deputy
to adjust the straps the moose and the
black cap. His last words were spoken to
County Clerk Joseph Cahill, who assisted
| him TO mount the trap door. They were:
You are not losing your nerve, are you
Joe?" Soon after the trap fell the spec
tators passed out, each one shak-
ing hands with Sheriff Proctor
and congratulating him on the execu-
ton. ALI lad been searched for firearms
before entering and guards armed with
rifles kept their eyes on Horns friends
throughout the proceedings Thousands oi
people We're congregated near the jail, and
the militia remained on guard until the
execution was over and the crowd had dis
persed. There was no disorder.
Rev. Ira D. Williams made affidavit to-
day that Horn confessed to him that he
had killed Willie Nickel.
Tom Horn was born in Scotland county
Mo. He was a celebrated army scout, In
dian fighter and cattle detective. He was
the scout in charge of the party that cap
tured Geronimo and was chief of scouts
under General Miles in his Porto Rico
campaign.
Horn was suspected of having committed
