*COLT MODEL 1878 FRONTIER SIX-SHOOTER DA REVOLVER AND ITHACA DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN THAT BELONGED TO DEPUTY SHERIFF T.J. CAHILL OF JOHNSON COUNTY, WYOMING WHO ASSISTED AT THE HANGING OF NOTORIOUS RANGE DETECTIVE TOM HORN.

These two firearms belonged to Johnson County, Wyoming Deputy Sheriff Thomas Joseph “T. Joe” Cahill who was a family friend of infamous Indian scout, tracker and range detective Tom Horn. Cahill was born in 1877 in Wyoming Territory and died in 1965 in Cheyenne. On November 20, 1903 Tom Horn was hanged for shooting a 14 year old boy named Willie Nickell, a crime which to this day is still disputed in Wyoming and other circles. It was never proven that Horn actually killed the boy but his reputation was so fearsome that the jury found him guilty anyway. He was reputed to have killed 30 to 50 men in a short period time, all homesteaders who were accused of cattle rustling by the large ranchers. Horn was employed by the Cattlemen’s Association and, in particular, the Iron Mountain Ranch and John Coble. Horn had requested that his friends, Deputy Sheriffs Proctor and Cahill escort him to the gallows, which they did and Horn was hanged with a rope he had braided himself in his cell while waiting for the appeals process to be completed. Cahill went on to become the Executive Secretary of the Dude Rancher’s Association headed up by Larry Larom who owned Valley Ranch outside of Cody, WY and was the first dude rancher in the country. Cahill was also very active in the rodeo circles, including the Madison Square Garden Rodeo 1928-1933. He then became Chief of Police in Cheyenne, 1934-1940. As of this writing no additional information is available regarding T. Joe Cahill. At one time these firearms were part of a large display of Cahill’s badges and accouterments, including a letter on Iron Mountain Ranch Company letterhead, a pair of boots inlaid “T Joe” and a small piece of the rope with which Tom Horn was hanged. The location of those articles are currently unknown but may have been destroyed in the Yearout house fire. 1) SN 22083. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40).
