It did not completely en c!v t!".e Isr.d, but in.ieil from the Vnlon Pacific railroad fence, thus forming a vast triangle. In this space thousands of head of cattle were kept, only a few cowboy being required to look after the Immense herd. When Colonel Moshy ordered the company to take down the fence the objection was raised that there had been no violation of the law because only one side of a triangle had been tncloeed.

Horn' tiial will be bitterly contented and It has aroused Intense interest in the west, for on the outcome is thought to depend the fat" of the range In Wyomlnp and other big cattle states. Whether or not the cattle companies hire assassins, as Horn s confession would indicate, it is rertaln that there , have been many mysterious disappear a nee of settler In the cattle country In recent years, and murders are of common occurrence. Whole flock of sheep have Ix-en destroyed, ranch house have been burned, and other handiwork of the feudist ha been ev erywhere !n ev!den One of these mysteries of the mage, which may never be solved, I the dis appearance of Joseph Hartzell of Park county. Colorado. Hartzell claimed homestead right on certain grazing land, and threats were made against him. He refused to be frightened out of the country, and several months ago he disappeared. Xo trace of him has ever been found, though rewards have been offered. He was wealthy and his affair was In such shape that flight Is not to be thought of In connection with hi disappearance. A few month ago. In northwestern Colorado. Matt Bush, a ranchman, who had aetlled In a fine grazing country, was killed while he was eating supper In hi cabin. Somebody had crept up to the bunlldlng and fired through a crack In the logs. Hush's partner, James Part, was shot dead when he stepped out of the cabin. In Wyoming the killing of the Nlckell boy was preceded by the murder of two ranchmen In the Iron mountain dis trict. Thee men were shot down In cold blood, one of them being mur dered a he entered his cattle corral. The Nlckell boy was shot not far from his father's cabin. The elder Nlckell had been repeatedly warned to leave the country on account of trouble with the cattle owners. His fences had been cut, and he threatened to retaliate by polalnlng ell tbe cattle that strayed on his ranch. This Is thought to have led to the assassina tion of his son. The war of the cattle and sheep in teres ts of the west have been matter of history for several years and bloody history at that.

When the lamented Judge Hound tree, one of the robbed pussengeiH. wa.i placed on the stand, he wa possessed of a different mind to that held by h's fellow passengers In regard to the guilt of the man on trial, and further than to say that "he bear a striking re semblance to the leader of the gang, but if he i the man then my faith In my own recollection Is very much sha ken," he would not go. However, the evidence wa conclu sive to the mind of the Jury, and a term In the penitentiary was given Hunt.

Corfu hae been In a bad way almost ever since Greece took it over from the Ilrltlsh govern ment In 161 so bad, Indeed, that noth ing but foreign capital can restore It to It, old prosperity. M. Theoiokls, the ex-I'remler of Greece, has done what he can for the lovely but unfor tunate Island, but all to no purpose. In the nick of time a band of cap italist hurrying over from Ostend and Spa, where the gambling estab lishments are being finally closed ap proached the authorities w Ith a definite and leal offer. They have asked permission to have a roulette table set up In Corfu, nnd In return for the permission to do so they have made certain proposals which will give back to Corfu a meas ure of the whilom prosperity. Who, therefore, can blame the half-ruined Inhabitants If they welcome the oppor tunity of thus rehabilitating them selves? The matter has gone before the Greek Parliament, and, as the passing of the bill I almost certain, the establishment of a gambling table at Corfu will soon be an accomplished fact, Great ob struction has been met with, not for the reasons of morality, but because Greece Is jealous of this good fortune which has befallen Corfu.

At about the same time one of the Jame gang, then confined In the Still water, Minn., penitentiary, made a con fession of the Mammoth Cave atag robbery, and recited w here some of the jewelry had been hidden. An Investigation rfvcaled the cor rectness of the convict's story, and Jndtfp Houndtree made haste to make amends for I lit- icuig which the Bar-, i' n county court had done an Innocent man by going to Frankfort and secur ing from the governor an uncondition al pardon for Hunt. Where Hunt wa on the day of the robbery Is a much of a mystery today a It was on the day of hi conviction. Since he has steadfastly refused to particularize his whereabout, but the supposition obtains that he had hi own reason for not wanting hi whereabouts or his act on the day In question known, and knowing hi In nocence of the crime with which ha wa charged, preferred to remain si lent and be convicted, trusting that some future act of those who commit ted the stage robbery would serve te liberate him. . . , , The picture of the dead bandit se closely resembles that of Hunt that no visible difference can be detected, and on two occasion Hunt ha been forced to submit to arrest by Missouri offi cers, who mistook him for Jesse James.
