Isam Dart walked out of his cabin on the morning of Oct. 4, 1900, and headed toward his corral. He didnât make it.
From behind a tree 120 yards away, an assassin fired a single rifle shot that struck Dart in the breast and severed his spine. The 42-year-old Dart died almost instantly, moaning âOh my God!â as he fell.
History has held notorious gunman Tom Horn responsible for the murder of Dart, who was a well-respected Black cowboy. Even though Horn was never arrested or even investigated for the killing, there is significant evidence to tie him to the killings of both Dart and Dartâs friend, Mat Rash.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – As the Space Coast prepares for Thursday’s scheduled launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station, officials also are preparing for potential traffic tie-ups, reports News 6 partner Florida Today.
There could be 200,000 or more people coming into Brevard County for Thursday’s SpaceX Crew-2 launch, according to Brevard County Communications Director Don Walker. The launch is scheduled for 6:11 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
As another generation of astronauts launches from the Space Coast now on SpaceX rockets Thompson is seeing a resurgence of revenue tied to the space program. And so are other local businesses, ranging from hotels to gas stations.
Space Coast Office of Tourism Executive Director Peter Cranis said an estimated 220,000 people from outside the county came to Brevard for the first SpaceX Crew Dragon human spaceflight last May.
Unlike in the shuttle era, the Office of Tourism now can track visitor counts through a sophisticated method of using cellphone signals, and can determine how many of the phones in a particular area are from out of the county.
