LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Horn, Tom: Tom Horn
built 185 days ago
Tom was to exceed Autie's expectations on two occasions during the next few days. At Namozine Church, on April 3, three regiments of enemy cavalry made a rearguard stand which elements of Custer's division had to dislodge. The Northerners charged in front and flank and the Confederates broke. In the middle of their line the color-bearer of the 2nd North Carolina lost his flag to a young man in the thick of the melee. It was Tom, discovering that a staff position could be far more exciting than it sounded, especially when one's commander was George Armstrong Custer! [He] is always in the advance." For the second time that month Tom had his horse shot from under him (the first was at Five Forks).

On the morning of November 20, 1903, after a large breakfast, Tom Horn was led to the gallows, where straps were buckled around his arms and legs. By all accounts, Tom was the least nervous of anyone at the event, even to the point of joking with the sheriffs gathered to witness the hanging. A noose was fitted around his neck, and the bound man was lifted onto the trap-door, which started the 'machine'. Thirty-one seconds later, the trap doors opened and the life of the range detective was over. His body was claimed by his brother, Charles, and transported to Boulder, Colorado. He is buried in Boulder County, Colorado, in the Columbia Cemetery, ten graves from the southern roadway.

Following the end of the War, Tom served as Autie's aide in Texas until January 1866, when he travelled to Michigan and mustered out in Detroit on the 31st. Soon afterwards he received a commission as a second lieutenant in the regular army, and later the same year he joined the new 7th Cavalry as a first lieutenant.(42) Because this was one step higher than his position in the volunteer army, his brevet rank was ... eventually upgraded to lieutenant colonel. For the rest of his life he would wear his two Medals of Honor with pride at every opportunity, though he showed a healthy tendency not to take them too seriously. Sometimes he would even allow a girlfriend to be photographed with them pinned to her dress.(43)

A classic western and one Steve McQueen's greatest roles, Tom Horn is a must for any serious western movie library. The movie tracks Horn's tracks from the Southwest into Wyoming and a career as a "stock detective." The career begins promisingly enough but soon takes a downward turn as Horn, the simple cowboy and tracker, runs head on into big business politics and scandals that jeopardize not only his freedom but his life.

Here are a few off the top of my head: A "low-tech" way is to use a circular waveguide with two orthogonal probes and feed them 90 degrees out of phase. An advantage of this method is that you can switch the polarization. A simpler way is to use a dielectric polarizer at a 45 degree angle in the waveguide. The dielectric is designed to provide 90 degrees of phase delay to one linear polarization component but not the other so it converts linear to circular. Yet another way is the septum polarization transformer which like the dielectric polarizer, converts linear to circular but uses only "metal" parts no dielectric material is needed.

A variant opportunistic spirit of Tom Horn has resurfaced in the enormous, glutenous, grotesque incarnation of Joe Horn. The man responsible for gunning down two home invasive shoppers. Two men who on an ill fated shopping spree chose not a wall mart or Kmart to target that day but a residence that offered untold treasure and possibilities. To say the least they had a bad commute. While apparently escaping with a bag of consumables, minus the flat screen TV. Horn calculated and carefully created his spectacle, in alienated headquarters, circumscribed by abysmal girth, first finishing his recorded interview with the local "Dial up 911 Recording studio limited". For what?
