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 ? '

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.
