KILLING THE KID. > Pat Garrett's Nervy Pont Ho Catches and Shoots Billy Bonny. Full Details of How Billy the Kid Mot His Fato. I'a New llcxli.-xn. Tlio city was thrown into n stnto of uxcituincnt recently by tlio nnnomico- nicnt Hint Hilly tlio Kid , tlio innn who 1ms been the terror of poncc.iblo pco nlo in this territory for years , whc killed Brady and Iliiidiiian , tint Huberts mid Otlinger nncUJoll , with n do/.cti more , had mot tlio fnto that he hml inctcd out to others with sucl fiendish pleasure , frequently witl'oul cutiso and generally in the most bruta manner. No report could have croat cd n more general fooliinr nf irratilica tion than this , nnd when it was further thor announced thai tlio faithful and bravo Pat Garrett , ho who has beer the mainstay of law and order in Lin coin county , tlio chief reliance of tin peoule in dark days , when danjjo lurked on every hand , hml accomplished od the crowning font of Ina life by bringing down his fierce ixnd implac able fee single-handed , the sense o satisfaction was heightened to ono o delight. The lirst announcement o : the event was by means of a telcgran received hero from Las Vegas by Mr. Chisum , the stock owner , and ono of tin Kid's greatest enemies , simply stating : "Put Garret killct Hilly'Kid near .Suinnur Friday night. ' This dispatch was sent \f \ Mr. M. Brunswick , n reliable man and r friend of Mr , Chisum. Mr. Ikuns wick was in Santa Fo n few days ago and stated to a gentleman that ho had learned accidentally that the Kid was at or near Fort Stunner ; consequently when the dispatch was received , people ple , notwithstanding the news was almost too good to bo true , were led ( o believe that there must bo truth in the nows. A short time later the \ special came to Tlio Now Mexican , detailing the particulars. From then : it will appear that the news was brought to Las Vegas by Mail Con tractor Cosgrovo , who arrived at that place yesterday. A Now Mexican re porter was enabled to sccnro the ac count from a man who was at Sumner nor at the time , and who helped to put pilly in his little bed the day after' Garrett got through his task , This man is George Miller , a dis1 charged soldier , who is on his way to Santa Fe. Miller says that Garrett was informed of the Kid's whereabouts while in Lincoln county , and arrivot at Sumner in search of the outlaw or Friday last. At about midnight ho went to the house of Pete Maxwell accompanied by two men iiaiuo.d Join : W. Pee and T M. McKinney , when : ho had brought from homo with him , The two men were told to stand 01 : guard at the gate , while Garrett wonl on and encored the room of Mr. Mas well. Tlio latter was in bed at tlio time and Garrett quickly informed him of the object of his visit. Ho had scarcely done so when in walked "Billy the Kid , " AHMED WITH KNIl'E AND nEVOLVKII. 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 ho asked hurriedly of Maxwell , "Who are.thoy ? " and repeated - od the question quickly. Maxwell made no reply , and Kid then caught sight of Garrott. Ho 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 had no idea that Garrett was in that part of the country , and .SUSI-KITKI ) NO HARM. Whatever his reason was his delay proved fatal. With his desperate onomy's weapon aimed full at his breast at a distance of > a few foot , Pat Garrett , with the quickness and pre cision for which ho is famed , pulled down on the Kid and fired. That shot was the last the Kid was over to hear on this earth. Ho foil back upon tlio floor pierced through the heart , and in a moment was as dead as any of the men whom ho had served in the same way , with loss justice and pimply to wreak potty spite or satisfy his thirst for blood. Garrett and Maxwell lumped into the middle of the room , which was lighted only by the beams of the moon , and Garrett had the satisfaction of knowing that ho had fulfilled a duty from which most men would have shrunk in terror , and ac complished the task which had occu pied his thoughts and energies for months. The above account comes from a man wh6 secured his information at the scene of the killing. It is correct ' in all essential points , us will be seen from Garrett's own story , as detailed in accordance with his duty to tlio gov ernor of the territory. I-AT OAUHETT'.S nurouT to the chief executive of New Mexico , was received by Acting Governor Ilitch lust evening. It is concise and simple , in keeping with the character of the writer , and will bo found of in terest iroin the fact that it is the ac count which is absolutely correct , and because of the characteristics it bo- trays. It is as follows : Four SUMNHU , 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 Hiunnor , that William Bonny , alias the Kid , had boon there or in that vicinity , for sometime , "In view of these reports I doomed it my duty to go there , and ascertain if there was any truth in thorn or not all the time doubting their accuracy ; but on Monday , July 11 , I loft homo , taking with mo John W. Pee anU T. L. McKinny , men in whoso courage and sagacity I relied implicitly , and arrived just below Fort Sunnier , on Wednesday , 1U. I remained conceal w ed near the houses until night , and : M then entered the fort about midnight . and went to Mr. P. Maxwell's room. I found him in bed , and had just com- niencod talking to him about the ob ject of my visit at such an unusual hour , when t\ man entered the roon in stockinged foot with n pistol in on hand and a knife in the other. 11 came and placed Iiis hand on the bci just beside me , and in a low whisper , "Who is it ? " ( and repeated the qucs tion ) ho asked of Air. Maxwell. I at once recognized the man , am' know ho was tlio Kdand reachim ; behind mot for my pistol , feeling al most certain of receiving a ball fron his nt the moment of doing so , ns ] felt sure ho had now recognized me , but fortunately ho drew back fron the bed at noticing 1113 * movement and , although ho had his pistol pointed od at my breast , ho delayed to lire , and asked in Spanish , "Quien cs. Qtiieii cs ? " This gave mo time to bring miiio to boar on him , and the momcn I did so 1 pulled the trigger , nnd In received his death wound , for the bal struck him in the left breast am1 pierced his heart. Uo never spoke but died in a minute. It was my tic sire to have been able to take liitr alive , but his coming upon mo so sud denly and unexpectedly leads mo tobo lievo that lie hud scon mo enter the room , or had been informed by somu one of the fact ; and that ho came there armed with pistol and knife ex pressly to kill mo if ho could. Un der that impiession 1 had no alternative tivo but to kill him , or to sutler deatl at his hands. 1 herewith nnnc.\ copy of the ver dict rendered by the justice of the peace ( ox-ollicio coroner ) , the original of which is in the hands of the prose cuting attorney of the fust judicial district. ( Tlio verdict is given in Spanish in Garrott's report , and upon bcmgtrans lated is as follows ) : "Woj the jury , unanimously say that William Bonny came to his death from a wound in the reg'on ' 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 justifiable homicide ; and are uni ted in the opinion that the gratitude of the community is duo to said Gar ret for his action , and that ho deserves to be compensated.

I am , governor , very respectfully , your excellency's obedient servant , PAT F. GAUUETT , Sheriff ot Lincoln county. The above is a straightforward , un assuming narrative , but it speaks , un intentionally , perhaps , but foreiblyof the determination and courage of Pat Garrett , The incident recorded was the end of a long and trying ordca . Ever since the early part of MayGar- rott has boon oppressed by a sense of ono of the most dillicult and danger ous duties over imposed upon an ofli- cor , the duty of carrying on a war tc the deatli with the most desperate , dangerous and treacherous man whoever over infested a country. As soon as Billy the Kidcommittcdhislastcrimo , an offense of such magnitude and au dacity that the public wasstunncdan stood aghast at its announcement , everybody acquainted with iho 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 ho escaped from Garrott's guards , and killed the two men who were his staunchest and bravest servants in en forcing the laws , but ho has imposed a duty upon the sheriff of Lincoln county which Pat Garrelt will never shirk. " How rightly the people placed their trust is shown by the foregoing ac counts. Garrett has never ceased ti dog the footsteps of the Kid. Ho said soon after the escape of the criminal that ho would "follow him to the end,1 and ho 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 ho was in return surprised by him , confronted in a small room by a thoroughly de.i- perato man , with a knife in one hand , while lira other hold 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 boon too late , and a second sooner to attack ho would have boon too KOOII. lip bided his time , and accomplished liis end , and ho deserves to bo richly rewarded. Hltl.Y TUB KID S FUNEllAI , took place at Fort Sunnier the day after the shooting , and not ono of those who were present but rejoiced at Ins death. Now that the sod is above Iiis grave , it is in order to give him an obituary , though time and space wilj not allow a lengthy one. There is no disposition to shirk the task. It isn't very often ono has to write anything in the obituary line except complimentary ones ; and Bil ly , exceptional in most things , hero again affords an exception to the general oral rule. Billy was a New York boy , and Ins ri ht nauiP is supposed to have boon Antrim. Ho was once n resident of Santa Fo , and an employe of the Ex change hotel , this city. Ho loft hero when very young , and turned out dur ing the Lincoln county way , two years or nioro ago. Since then ho has as sisted in murdering Sluriff Brady and Deputy Sheriff Hindman , of Lincoln , killed Burnstein , clerk at the Musca- lore Apache ngoncy , and Al. Roberts , who was living at the agency ; killed Ilobt. Beckwith and Clias. Crawford lit Lincoln , July , 1878 ; William Morton , Prank Baker , and MoCloskey , at Blue Water , Captain Mountains , March , 1878 ; a half-breed Indian , John Furris , and Grant at Fort Sunnier ; a blacksmith at Camp Apache , and finally killed Bob Ollin- ? 'cr and J. W. Bell , at Lincoln county jail while escaping lust time , Ho was pursued and made frenuont narrow jscapcs , to recount which is unneces sary ; was captured several times and escaped. Ho was just twenty-one pears of ngo when lie met his death , md boasted that ho had killed a man : pr every year of lib life. The above 1st is , however , till that can bo called .o mind. There are doubtless several jthcr victims , perhaps half a dozen , hat nobody knows of. Those enu- iterated hero make up a goodly num- jcr for a kid , and no excuses need bo nado for Mr. Bonny on that score. Many a man in Now Mexico will jreatho more frcclysince ho has gone , as there are numerous threats of death outstanding nnredicmcdawnitinponly the time when Billy could get a good shot. The Kid is gone , and the only question is , "how much reward ii l * l l > .iirott going to get for killing him ? ' Iown RatlroniN. Narrow-gango railroads in Iowa have a prccauous lease of life. Nt : sooner are they fairly in oporatioi than some broad-gaugo corporator pounces upon them and gobbles then up. There was Iho Des Moines Minneapolis , designed to bo the cen tral figure of an oxtcns vo narrow- auio system of this stale. Su noon ivi it had became a paying investment the Chicago it Northwestern cap tured it , broadened it , nnd added it to the iron web which it is weaving al' over the northwest. A few month1 ngo tlio Des Moines it Osccola narrow gitugo stalled out with flying colors , and ww making good headway toward the capital , uhen the Ohic.igo , Burl ington iK" Quinccy came nloiur and de- decided to build a broad gnngo from Oaccoln to Des Moineo , under the corporate name of Osccola ami Des Moines. Of course that squelches the narrow'g.iuge , which is unfortu nate for the little road , as the grading had been done over a considerable distance , and the preliminary work done the entire distance. There is another narrow guigo , the DCS Moines Northwestern , from this city , open to Panora , and being traded to Jefferson , in Greene county , It is doing a heavy business and making money. Hut the Wub.ish has got. otio eye on it , and ns soon as they read this city it is privately understood the Des Moines it Northwestern wil bo broadened out as a part of the Wa > bash. That uill leave but onu narrow gauge road bore , the St. Louis , Dos Moines it Northern , which is being pushed to Minnesota. As the owners are confederated with the Wabash it is more than probable it will ulti maloly become a broad-gauge road. Thus all efforts to establish a system ot narrow-gauge roads in Iowa have failed. The question of financial suc cess has had nothing to do with the failure. They scorn only to have beei in the path of broad-gauge roads. The Chicago it Milwaukee is build ing , or rather arranging , a now luuv bcr line from Lake Superior to Oma ha via Ean Claire and Muiominco. At Eau Claire the road will cross Chippewa river , connecting with the mills on the west side of the river , then ro-cross at Potervillo , connecting with the mills on the cast side of the river ; thence it will continue to Wa- bashaw , cross the Mississippi , ani count-fit with the Kivor Division. 'From Wabashaw it will take Iho Nar row-Gauge Division , which is lo bo broadened , to Hammond ; Mionco to Rochester , sixteen miles , connecting with tlio Iowa and Minnesota Divi sion ; thence to Austin , and Mason City , where it will connect with the now Cedar Rapids & Omaha lino. This will bring Omaha 100 miles nearer the great Wisconsin lumber factories than by any other route. J. C. Easton , John Lawlcr , and a civil engineer are now engaged in perfecting the combination. It will require the building of sixteen miles on easy grade from Hammond to Rochester , and from Mason City to a connection with the Omaha line , which is provided for in the now Mason City & Fort Dodge route. People along the route are moving to got the Minneapolis it 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 advantages of the roulc. The matter was taken under advisement. It is hardly probable the company will deflect so far to the west , and run duo west fifteen or twenty miles , and build three expensive bridges , to make Grand Junction a point , and then conio to this city alongside the DCS Moines it Fort Dodgo. They are now within sixty miles of this city on the east side of Des Moines river , and every mile of the road runs over coal- beds , which will require all the trans portation the road can pivo , and for which the demand in northwest ia un limited The latest railroad project is the St. Louis , Newton it Northwestern. This now road ia to run from Newton on the Chicago it Rock Island via Norada and Fort Dodge to Dakota. It is really an extension of the New Sharon , Coal Valley it Eastern. A novel feature of this now project is that in return for tax aid voted Iho company will give each taxpayer in lowns where aid is voted a certificate for the amount of tax he pays , which is to bo transferable and receivable for freight and passenger charges to the amount of one-fourth of each charge until until the certificate is en tirely redecnwd. So that virtually the tax voted is a loan to the com pany. The plan receives the favor of the people. One hundred and ten miles of iron has been purchased , a'nd the work of repairing the i\.ad-bod will bo pushed with all possible haste. The road will leave the Mississippi river between Burlington and Musca- tine , near New Boston , thence go to MorningSun in Louisa county crossing the Uurlington , Cedar Ranids it Northern , thence to Winficld and Marshall , in Henry county ; thence to Brighton , in AVashinglon county , crossing the southwestern division of the Chicago it Rock Island ; thence to Hichland , in Keokuk county , crossing the Oskuloosa division of the Rock Island ; thence to Now 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 Dhicago it Northwestern ; thence to Fort Dodge , crossing the Illinois Cen tral and Minneapolis it St. Louis ; : hence to Dakota , through I'ocahantas : ounty. Work is being done east Tom Newton , all along the line , and t is expected lo have the road-bed cady for the iron Ihis year and 100 iiilua of iron laid , and the road coin- doted from the southeast line of the itato to thu northwest line in 1882 , 'iving direct connection with St. Louia. Ilia controlled by eastern lapitalists , who have all the money hey want. The route runs through ho richest and most productive por- ion of the state , also crossing the ntiro coal field.
