He arrived in Lincoln county to take sides In the cattle warfare, known and feared in every range town and mining camp in the southwestern territories.Pure wanton love of carnage was all that attracted him to Lincoln county. With the band of desperadoes be led he raided ranches, “shot .up” towns, killed, burned houses and committed outrage after outrage with the blind recklessness of a maniac. Fear was extinct within him. He cared no more for detachments' of cavalry than be did for cowering sheriffs.Affairs in New Mexico finally came to such a pass that half the cattlemen paid the youthful desperado tribute. It was only after Pat F. Garrett was made sheriff of Lincoln county and the author of “Beu-llur (General, Wallace) urged that fearless gun lighter and gambler to capture Billy the Ivid that a determined effort was macle to end his reign of terror.The obstacles that Garrett had to encounter called for all his headlong energy and nerve. Billy had the entire countryside in a state of abject terror; friends were ready to giye him timely warning of pursuit; ranchmen dared not deny him lodgment or- concealment.Pat Garrett undertook the capture in October, 1SS0, and on Dec. 20 he surrounded the Kid and his band in a deserted house near Stinking Springs. After a siege lasting most of the day. the outlaws’ ammunition was exhausted. Billy the Kid surrendered. lie and his four followers, surrounded by a great force of armed men, were taken to Las Vegas and thence- to Santa Fo for safe keeping.An array of! indictments charging murder confronted him. Ho was tried on one Indictment and acquitted, then tried on another and convicted, tie carried himself throughout with sneering defiance. After he had been sentenced to hang Garrett took him to Fort Stanton, near Lincoln. Two deputies armed with Winchesters were assigned to guard him in the temporary jail in the Murphy Dolan store build-ing.In some mysterious fashion the Ivid possessed himself of a revolver, shot down his guards, seized their weapons and appeared at the window. When another guard appeared theprisoner riddled his body with buckshot. Then he called to an old man on the plaza to bring him a file. Filing off one of his shackles, he called for a liorse. One was brought, and he escaped.For nearly tmee months after that Billy the Kid led a fugitive life. Garrett dogged him patiently and finally got wind of his hiding place—the ranch of Peter Maxwell, near Fort Sumner. It was nearly midnight whenGarrett and two deputies quietly approached the Maxwell hacienda. Garrett crept into the room where Maxwell was sleeping. Softly awakening the sleeper, he questioned him concerning the whereabouts of the Kid.At that moment the hunted youth sprang into the room, calling out in Spanish, “Quien va ?” (“Who comes there?”) It was Billy. He was unarmed, and as he reached for his rifle Garrett shot' him. The body of William Bonney (Billy the Ivid) was buried* in the military cemetery at Fort Stanton July 15, 1881. His age at the time of his death was twenty-one years seven months. There his body is today, though in later years a corpse was exhibited throughout the west as that of the famous young outlaw.—Harper's Weekly.T1w:m iusbr al BiIINone Left Alive*An orator,” said one of our statesmen, “was addressing an assemblage of the people. He recounted the people’s wrongs. Then be passionately cried ie“‘Where America’s great men? Why don’t they take up the cudgel in our defense? In the face of our manifold wrongs why do they remain cold, Immovable, silent?1“ ‘Because they’re all cast in bronze!’ shouted a cynic in the rear.”
