Item # 683762

December 17, 1900

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, California, Dec. 17, 1900 

* American cowboy Tom Horn
* Hired gunman murder


The front page has a article with one column heads: "A Reign Of Terror" "Cowardly Murders of Inoffensive Settlers in Colorado" which reports on the murder of a suspected cattle rustler Mat Rash. As history tells us, Tom Horn went undercover as "Tom Hicks" to gain evidence of Rash's illegal activity, and when proven he shot Rash at point-blank range. Horn would not be immediately discovered as the assailant. Wikipedia provides all the details.
Complete in 8 pages, two library stamps above the masthead, very nice condition.
