Yep, that's the one. I was up there this summer and found out about it just before I got there. We got out and walked across the bridge. It's sure a long way to the bottom! The whole area is gorgeous and well worth seeing.

Your turn baadsheep.

Baadsheep is gone for the afternoon and he asked if I would please keep this going. I told him sure.

Tom Horn was hired by the cattle barons of Cheyenne to intimidate rustlers. He accidentally shot a boy thinking it was his father. As such, he was sentenced to hang. What was odd about the rope used to hang him?

According to Wikipedia, "Horn also is said to have woven the rope that he was hanged with, while in jail awaiting his execution."

Wow, that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Can he get a reprieve?

Aww, that was too easy. You got it. By the way, he didn't make the rope long enough so it didn't break his neck. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

You're up!

They probably issued him a stay of execution 10 years later.

This might be easy for some of you, difficult for others.

In the late 1800s a well-known cowboy co-founded a Wyoming newspaper which is still being published under the original name. What's the name of the paper and in which town is it published.
