Tom Horn
He served with distinction in the war with Spain, was an interpreter for the 5th Calvary, worked as a Pinkerton, tracked down Geronimo, and then became a selfstyled exterminator of "Rustlers". Horn allegedly stated that killing men was his specialty. He was convicted of slaying a 14 year old boy in Laramie County, WY and then escaped. A wanted poster was printed and circulated in Aug, 1903 and a reward of $5,000.00 was offered by Laramie County Commissioners for murder and escape from lawful custody. |
