Tom Horn was an American Old West scout born in 1860 who carried out varied roles as hired gunman, range detective, cowboy, and soldier. From 1895 to 1901, Horn worked as an enforcer for the large cattle interests in Colorado and Wyoming, dealing justice to those suspected of stealing cattle. Horn was on such a mission on the morning of July 18, 1901. His intended target was Kels B, Nickell, a rancher who had brought sheep onto the range, but his son Willie ended up being shot. Though there were no witnesses, Tom was brought to trial, convicted and hanged on November 20, 1903. It is still debated whether Tom Horn was guilty, but innocent or guilty he lies in Pioneer Cemetery where you can find this box.
Directions:
From Canyon Blvd go south on 9th Street about 0.5 mile to Pleasant st and bear right into Pioneer (Columbia) Cemetery. Go straight and continue as it bends left to where it starts to bend right near back of cemetery and park.
Clues:
Walk east 15 steps to small granite upright marker for Tom Horn. Continue 4 steps to white urn between 2 markers. LB is between urn and left marker under rocks.
