| | | N RAal ] KILLING THE KID. Pat Garrett's Nervy Feat-He Catches and Shoots Billy Bonny. Full Details of How Billy the Kid Met His Fate. santa Fa New Mesian, The city was thrown into a state of excitement recently by the announce- ment that Billy the Kid, the man who has been the torror of peaceable peo- L\h- in this_territory for years, who illed Brady and Hindman, and Roberts and Otlinger and Bell, with a dozen more, had met the fate that he had meted out to others with such fiendish pleasure, frequently without cause and generally in the most brutal mannor. No report could ha ed a more general feeling of tion than th nd when it was fur- ther annonnced that the faithful and brave Pat Garrett, he who has been| the mainstay of law and order in Lin coln_county, the chief reliance of the {nmh]r in < when danger urked on every hand, had accomplish- ed the crowning feat of lus life by Dringing down his fierce and implac able foe single-handed, the sense of satisfaction was heightened to one of delight. The first announcement of the event was by means of a telegram received here from Las Vegas by Mr. Chisum, the stock owner, and one of th» Kid's greatest enemies, simply stating: “Pat Garret killed Billy Kid near Sumner Friday night.” This dispatch was sent by Mr. M. Brunswick, a able man and a friend of Mr. Chisum. Mr. Bruns- wick was in Santa Fe a fow days ago and stated to a gentleman that he had learned accidentally that the Kid was at or near Fort Sumner; consequently when the dispatch was received, peo- ple, notwithstanding the news was almost too good to be true, were led 1o believe that there must be truth in the news. A short time later the special came to The New Mexican, detailing the particulars. From them it will appear that the news was brought to Las Vegas by Mail Con- tractor Cosgrove, who arrived at that place yesterday, = A New Mexican re- porter was enabled to secure the ac- count from a man who was at Sum- ner at the time, and who helped to put Billy in his little bed the day after "Garrett got through his task. This man is George Miller, a dis- charged soldier, who is on Ins way to Santa Fe. Miller says that Garrett was informed of the Kid's whereabouts while in Lincoln county, and arrived at Sumner in search of the outlaw on Friday last. At about midnight he went to the house of Pete Maxwell, accompanied by two men named John W. Poe and T M. McKinney, whom he had brought from home with him. The two men were told to stand on guard at the gate, while Garrett went on and entered the rosm of Mr. Max- well. The latter was in bed at the time and Garrett quickly informed him of the object of his visit. He had scarcely done so when in walked “‘Billy the Kid,” ARMED WITH KNTFE AND REVOLVER. Garrett dropped behind the head of the bed and remained there in a crouching position. Kid was in his stocking feet, and was apparently alarmed at having seen the two men outside, for he asked hurriedly of Maxwell, “Who are they?” and repeat- ed the question quickly. Maxwell made no reply, and Kid then caught sight of Garrett. He did not appa- rently recognize the man, but pointed his revolver at him and asked, **Who is it?” Garrett had not had time to draw his revolver, and finding it had reached a point at which caution or delay would prove fatal, reached around and got it. Kid started back, but for some reason or other did not fire. Perhaps this was because he ad no idea that Garrett was in that part of the country, and SUSPECTED NO HARM. Whatever his reason was his delay proved fatel. With his desperate enemy’s weapon aimed full at his breast at a distance of a few fect, Pat Garrett, with the quickness and pre- cision for which he is famed, pulled down on the Kid and fired. That shot was the last the Kid was ever to hear on this earth. He fell back upon the floor pierced through the heart, and in a moment was as dead as any of the men whom he had served in the same way, with less justice and simply to wreak petty spite or satisfy his thirst for blood. Garrett and Maxwell jumped into the middle of the room, which was lighted only by the beams of the moon, and Garrett had the satisfaction of knowing that he had fulfilled a duty from which most men would have shrunk in terror, and ac- complished the task which had ocecu- pied his thoughts and energies for months, The above account comes from a man who secured his information at the scene of the killing, Tt is correct in all essential points, as will be seen from Garrett's own story, as detailed in accordance with his duty to the gov- ernor of the territory. T'5 REPORT to the chief executive of New Mexico, was roceived by Acting Governor Ritch last evening, Tt is concise and simple, in keeping with the character of the writer, and will be found of in- terest trom the fact that it is the ac- count which is absolutely correct, and because of the characteristics it be- trays. It is as follows: Foxr Sumyer, N, M., July 15, To His Excellency, the Governor of New Mexico: “‘I have the honor to inform your excellency that I had received several communications from persons in and about Fort Sumner, that William Bonny, alias the Kid, had been there or in that vicinity, for some time, . “Tu view of these reports I deemed it my duty to go there, and ascertain if there was any truth in them or not all the time doubting their accuracy; but on Monday, July 11, T left honse, taking with me John W, Poe ana T, L. McKinny, men in whose courage | and sagacity I relied implicitly, and arrived just below Fort Sumner, on Wednesday, 13. I remained conceal- ed near the houses until night, and then entered the fort about midnight and went to Mr, P, Maxwell's room. 1 found him iu bed, and had just com- menced talking to him about™ the ob- k d hour, when a man entered the room | in stockinged feet with a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other. He came and placed his hand on the bed just beside me, and in a low whisper, | “Who is it”” (and repeated the ques tion) he asked of Mr. Maxwell, | I at once recognized the man, and | knew he was the K d,and reaching | behind mefor my pistol, feeling al most certain of recoiving & ball from his at the moment of doing o, as 1 felt sure he had now recogmized me, but_fortunately he drow back from the bed at noticing my movement, and, although he had his pistol point- edat my breast, he delayed to fire, and asked in Spamish, “Quien es? Quien es!" This gave me time to bring mine to bear on him, and the moment 1 did so I pulled the trigger, and he received his death wound, for the ball struck him in the left breast and pierced his heart. He never spoke, but died in & minute, It was my de sire to have been able to take him alive, but his coming upon me so sud- denly andunexpectedly leads mo tobe lieve that he had scen me enter the room, or had been informed by some one of the fact; and that he r\lnv! thero armed with pistol and knife ox- sressly to kill meif he could. Un der that impression 1 had no alterna tive but to kil him, or to suffer death | ath 1 annex a copy of tho ver- the justice of the peace (ex-oflicio coroner), the original icli is in the hands of the prose cuting attorney of the first district, (The verdict is given in Spanish in Garrett's report, and upon bemng trans- lated is as follows): “We, the jury, unanimously say that William Bonny came to his death from a wound in the region of the heart, fired from a pistol in the hand of Pat F. Garrett, and our decision is that the action of the said Garrett was justiiable homicide; and are uni- tedin the opinion that the gratitude of the community is due to said Gar- ret for his action, and thathe deserves to be compensated. |Signmlfi M. Ruporen, foreman. ANTONIO SAAVEDRA, Pepro ANTONI0 LUCERO, JOSE SirAA, LORENZO JARAMILLO. Tam, governor, very respectfully, your excellency's obedient servant, Par F. GArrerT, Sherift ot Lincoln county. The above is a straightforward, un- assuming narrative, but it speaks, un- intentionally, perhaps, but forcibly,of the determination and courage of Pat Garrett. The incident recorded was the end of a long and trying ordeal. Ever since the early part of May,Gar- rett has beea oppressed by a sense of one of the most difficult and danger- ous duties ever imposed upon an offi- cer, the duty of carrying on a war to the death with the most desperate, dangerous and treacherous man who ever infested a country. As soon as Billy the Kid committed his lastcrime, an offense of such magnitude and au- dacity that the public wasstunned and stood aghast at its announcement, everybody acquainted with the cir- cumstances thought at once of Pat Garrett, as being the man who would kill the Kid, or lose his life in the at- tempt. Said they: ‘‘Not only has he escaped from Garrett’s guards, and killed the two men who were his staunchest and bravest servants in en- forcing the laws, but he has imposed a duty upon the sheriff of Lincoln county which Pat Garrett will never shirk.” How rightly the people placed their trust is shown by the foregoing ac- counts. Garrett has never ceased to dog the footsteps of the Kid. He said soon after the escape of the criminal that he would “follow him to the end,” and he has done so with persistency, determination and bravery, through long and anxious months, finally to meet with a success which entitled him to the gratitude and respect of the people of this territory. When trying to surprise his prey he was in return surprised by him, confronted in a small room by a thoroughly des- perate man, witha knife in one hand, while the other held a revolver to his breast. Garrett never lost his pres- ence of mind or coolness, but seized the first opportunity offering itself to make use of his skill with his pistol. A second later would have been too late, and a second sooner to attack he would have been too soon. He bided his_time, and accomplished his end, and he deserves to be richly rewarded, BILLY THE KID § FUNERAL took place at Fort Sumner the day after the shooting, and not one of those who were present but rejoiced at lus death. Now that the sod is above his grave, 1t is in order {o give him an obituary, though time and space will not allow a lengthy one. There is no disposition to shirk the task. It isn’t very often one has to write anything in the obituary line except complimentary ones; and Bil- ly, exceptional in most things, here again affords an exception to the gen- eral rule. judicial Billy was a New York boy, and his right name is supposed to have been Antrim. He was once a resident of Santa Fe, and an employe of the Ex- change hotel, this city. ~ He left hero when very young, and turned out dur- ing the Lincoln county way, two years or more ago. nee then he has as- sisted in murdering Sharifi' Brady and Deputy Sheriff Hindman, of Lincoln, killed Burnstein, clerk at the Musca- lero Apache agency, and Al. Roberts, who was living at the agency; killed Robt. Beckwith and Chas. Crawford at Lincoln, July, 1878; William Morton, Frank Baker, and McCloskey, at Blue Water, Captain Mountains, March, 1878; a half-breed Indian, John Farris, and Grant at Fort Sumner; a blacksmith at Camp Apache, and finally killed Bob Ollin- ger and J. W. Bell, at Lincoln county jail while escaping last time, He was pursued and wmade frequent ni escapes, to Sar) Arrow | ount which is unneces- | was captured several times and | e He was just twenty-one years of age when he met his death, and boasted that he had killed a man | for every year of his life, The above list is, however, all that canbe called | to mind. There are doubtless several | other victims, perhaps half a dozen that nobody knows of. Those enu-| merated here make up a goodly num ber for a kid, and no excuses need be | made for Mr. Bonny on that score. Many a man New Mexico will joct of wmy visit at such an unusual breathe more froelysince he has gone, | | connect with as there are numerous threats of death outstanding aiting only the time when Billy could get a good shot. The Kid is gone, and the only question ig, “*how much reward is Pat Garrett going to get for killing him?” unredeemed ¢ Towa Railroads, Narrow-gauge railronds in Towa havea precarious lease of life. No sooner are thoy faitly in operation than some broad-gauge corporation pounces npon them and gobbles them up. There was the Des Moines & Minneapolis, designed to be the cen- tral figure of an oxtens ve mnarrow- auge system of this state. So soon as 1t had became a_paying investment the Chicago & Northwestern cap- tured it, broadened it, and added it| to the iron web which it is weaving all over the northwest. A few months ago the Des Moines & Osceola narrow gaugo started ont with flying colors, and was making good headway toward | wpital, when the Chicago, Burl-| m & Quincey came along de-| cided to build a broad-gauge from sla to Des Moines, under the corporate name of Osc and Des Moines. Of course that squelches the narrow gauge, which is unfortu nate for the little road, as the grading had been done over a considerable distanee, and the preliminary work done the entire distance. There is another narrow gauge, the Des Moines Northwestern, from this city, open to Panora, and boing eraded to Jefferson, in Greene county. It is doing a heavy business and making money. DBut the Wabash has got eye on it, and as soon as they reach this city it is privately understood the Des Moines & Northwestern will be broadened out as a part of the W bash, That will leave but one narrow gauge road here, the St. Louis, Des Moines & Northern,—which is being pushed to Minnesota. As the owners are confederated with the Wabash, it is more than probable it will ulti- mately become a broad-gauge road. Thus all efforts to establish a system ot narrow-gauge roads in Jowa have failed. The question of financial suc- cess has had nothing to do with_the failure. They scem only to have been in the path of broad-gauge roads. The Chicago & Milwaukee is build- ing, or rather arranging, a new lum- ber line from Lake Superior to Oma- ha via Eau Claire and Menominee, At Bau Claire the road will cross Chippewa river, connecting with the mills on the west side of the river, then re-cross at Poterville, connecting with the mills on the east side of the river; thence it will continue to Wa- bashaw, cross the Mississippi, and the River Division. 'From Wabashaw it will take the Nar- row-Gauge Division, which is to be broadened, to Hammond; thence to Rochester, sixtcen miles, connecting with the Iowa and Minnesota Divi- sion; thence to Austin, and Mason City, where it will connect with the new Cedar Rapids & Omaha line. This will bring Omaha 100 miles nearer the great Wisconsin lumber fuctories than by any other route. J. C. Easton, John Lawler, and a civil engineer are now engaged in perfecting the combination. Tt will require the building of sixteen miles on casy grade from Hammond to Rochester, and from Mason City to a connection with the Omaha line, which is provided for in the new Mason City & Fort Dodge route. People along the route are moving to get the Minneapolis & St. Louis road extended to Des Moines from Fort Dodge via Grand Junction, A committee from the latter place visit- ed Mr. Washburn, president of the road, a few days ago, and presented the a tages of the route. Tho | matter was taken under advisement. It is_hardly probable the company will defleet so far to the west, and run due west fifteen or twenty miles, and Grand Junction a point, and then come to this city alongside the Des Moines & Fort Dodge. 'They are now within sixty miles of this city on the ast side of Des Moines river, and every mile of the road runs ove beds, which will require all the which the demand innorthwest is un- limited The latest_railroad project is the St. Louis, Newton & Northwestern. This new road is to run from Newton on the Chicago & Rock Island via Nevada and Fort Dodge to Dakota. 1t is really an _extension of the New Sharon, Coal Valley & Hastern. A novel feature of this new project is that in return for tax aid voted the company will give each taxpayerin towns where aid is voted a certificate for the amount of tax he pays, which is to be transferable and receivabls for freight and passenger charges to the amount of one-fourth of rge until until the certificate is en- redeemed, So that virt; the tax voted isa loan to the com- 'Lhe plan receives the favor of people. One hundred and ten miles of 1ron has been purchased, and the work of repairing the read-hed will be pushed with all possible haste, The road will leave the Mississippi river between Burlington and Musca- tine, near New Boston, thence go to Morning Sun in Louisa county crossing the Burlington, Cedar Northern, thence to Winfield and Marshall, in Henry county; thence to Brighton, in Washington county, crossing the southwestern division of the Chicago & Rock Island; thence to Richland, in Keokuk county, crossing the Oskaloosa division of the Rock Island; thence to New Sharon, in Mahaska county; thence to Newton, in Jasper county, crossing the main line of the Rock Island; thence to Nevada, in Story county, crossing the Chicago & Northwestern; thence to Fort Dodge, crossing the Illinois Cen- tral and Minneapolis & St. Louis; thence to Dakcta, through Pocahantas county, Work is being done east from Newton, all along the line, and it is expected to have the road-bed ready for the iron this year and 100 miles of iron laid, and the road com- pleted from the southeast line of the state to the northwest line in 1882, giving direct connection with St, Louis. 1tis controlled by castern capitalists, have all the money they want. The route runs through the richest and most productive por- tion of the state, also crossing the entire coal field The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, and Chicago & Northwestern will reach Emmettsburg September 1. There is a lively race between the two | former to get there first miles within a few rods of each other, The Des Moines & Fort Dodge will switch off and not make that place a point.
