The Eiecotion of Tom Horn. Cowboy Sang a Song Bringing Tears to the Eyes of the Spectators. Cheyenne, Wyo., Not. 20.? Tom Horn, scout, Indian figbtor and cattle detective, to day went to the gallowst) expiate the crime of murdering Willie Nickell, 14 years old. whom Horn shot and killed on July 18, 1901, at Iron Mountain. The trap fell at 11:08 o'clock. Horn's neck was broken And 1ft minntPM Intnr hn wnu pronounced dead. After the 40 spectators had hoen admitted to tho jail and Horn had como out of tho cell, the execution was delayed while liev. George Rafter prayed and Frank Irwin sang a cowboy's railroad sosg, "Keep your hand upon tho throttle and you're eye upou tho rail," bringing tears to the eyes of all the listeners except thoso of Horn himself. At the conclusion of the song came an interview between Horn aud Irwin. "Be gamo," said Irwin. "You bet I will," replied Horn, who thon assisted Shoriif Proctor and a doputy to adjust tho straps, tho noose and tho black cap. His last words were spokon to County Clerk Joseph Cahill, who assisted him to mount the trap door. They were: "Ain't losing your nerve are you, Jo?" ^ 1 it. Ol>U II IUU IIM|I iCll, IUU HpeCUttors passed out, each one shaking hands with Sheriff Proctor and congratulating him on the execution. All had been searchod for firearms, before entering, and the guards with rifles kept their eyes on Horns' friends throughout tho proceedings. Thousands of people were coneregated near tho jail and the militia romained on guard until tho execution was over and the crowd had dispersed. There was no disorder. Rev. Ira D. Williams made affidavit to-day that Horn confessed to him that he had killed Willie Nickell. Tom Horn was born in Scotland county, Mo. He was a col obrated army scout, Indian fighter and cattle detective. Ho was the scout in charge of the party that captured Geronomo, and was coief of scouts under General Miles in his Porto Rico campaign. Horn was suspected of having committed several murders besidos the one for which he was hanged DISASTROUS WRECKS.

S. Bennett, chargod with the h murder of Deputy Sheriff H. S O. Richard and also the two h brothers of Bennett alleged to be si implicated in the murder. . ft The arrest took place at the o turpentine campof E. It. Edwards, o 12 miles south of Stark. The a Bennett brothers, after the killing ii of the deputy sheriff on Thursday t afternoon, made their escape and n Sheriff Johns with the aid of s members of tho Bradford County s Guards, began a search for them. A With his nosse tho sheriff moved tl towards Edwards' camp and s learned that the Bonnetts were i< hiding in one of the cabins. They t advanced cautiously, when the h Bennetts opened fire on the sher- n iff's party. The officers and posse t did not fire the return, .acting on b instructions from the sheriff. No ii inducements for an hour could v prevail upon the Bennett broth- ii ers to surrender and they continued to fire on the sheriff's c crowd until thoir ammunition was o exhausted. t Sheriff Johns determined to ar- t rest the Bennetts at all hazards, n and the cabin in which thov were c hiding was finally set on fire. The a Bennetts lied from the cabin to ii another, but the posso set cabin ii after cabin on fire until 12 were b reduced to ashes. Seeing escape impossible and being out of car- s tridges, tho Bennett brothei s surlendered and wore chained and e taken to Lake Cutler, where they C were placed in jail.
