LAMV , NEW MEXICO , July 29 , 1881.
In your pnpor of last Monday ,
which , owing io the floods and wash *
outs along the railroad , has just reached -
od here , I BOO you cony the long and
absurd sketch of "Billy the Kid" and
his fictitious "castle , " furnished the
Philadelphia Times by its correspon
dent at Fort Sumner , Now M6xico , in
a luttor dated July 10. The Times
correspondent gives , as the here of an
alleged wonderful adventure- the
castle of the famous "Kid , " and the
authority for his Munchauscnish pen-
picture of that redputablo boy-devil , a
Air. Duncan , who is described as hav-
ing been at ono time a niuinbcr of
t Gon.'yhorrrian'u ' stall1 ; but , rtiion his
* "adventure" occurred connected with
n railroad surveying party , and "now
a successful trniler at Alainosa , Now
Mexico. "
The vrhblo story of "tho Kid's" feor-
goous styles is , the wildest bosh ; his
"impregnable castlo" was a clear case
of "a castle in Spain ; " and his cold-
braided broadcloth , his royally-capari
soned steed , his black buckskin trous
ers with rows of fringe and silver bolls
down the IUQS , and his $300 hat blaz
ing with gold and jowelst were the
gauziest fabrics of a whiskicd brain.
But without any of this blazonry of
humbug and embroidery of fiction , the
history of "Billy the Kid" eclipses all
Beadle's dimo. romances of border ruf
fianism and crime , and dims by com
parison the luster of Missouri's pot
heroes and exemplars , the dashing
Jameses. Ho needs no bogus silver
spurs stuck on his heels by a Phila
delphia scribbler to send him gallop
ing down teA
A DLOODY AND HAKE-DEVILISH IMMOR
TALITY
in the annals of this strange , wild ter
ritory. The | simple story ohliis hide-
' cms career would till a volume written
in letters of fire and blood , and give a
bettor idea than all the inventions
and pen-and-ink extravaganzas of a
thousand correspondents , of the des-
peradoisni that has for years cursed
Now Mexico and retarded the develop
ment of the richest mining region on
the continent. ' 'The Kid" was the
incarnation of Now Mexican civiliza
tion , as it has been in the ruiUanly
days not yet gone by the civilization
of the pistol and knito , of rifles with
the number of their victims notched
on their stocksjof savui < o Apache raids
and massacres , of ruthless vendettas
and assassinations , and murderous
wars between would Vo cattle kings
and boss land-grant swindlers a civ
ilization of which
TUIS SIGNIFICANT ODTCUOI'I'INO
appears in the Las Vegas Daily
Gazette of day before yesterday morn
ing :
"NOTICE !
"TO THUGS , THIEVES , CUT-THROATS ,
MUKPEKEKB !
"You arc notified that your pres
ence will not be tolerated in the
vicinity of Las Vegas after 10 o'clock
p.m. , Wednesday , 27th. This notice
is intended to include the 'Kips , ' and
all other persons not engaged in earn
ing a livelihood in a legitimate way.
"By order of the
"COMMITTKE OF SAt'ETV.
"July 24th , 1881. "
Such a "civilization" should be
spelled deyilization , and "Billy the
Kid" was its prophet , its legitimate
result , its perfect exemplification.
From interviews with many men who
know him , including Mr. Taylor ,
whom I have already mentioned ,
Marion Turner , who led in ono of the
most no ! able campaigns against him ,
and Pat Garrett who killed him , I am
able to give you
A FEW FACTS
in regard to him and to correct sever
al errors which uro being published far
and wide.
The papers speak of him as Billy
Conloy , Billy Coyle , Billy Donovan
and Billy Bonny , and us many regions
clamor for the honor of his birth as
for that of Homer. The Now York
Sun seta him down as a New York
beer saloon brawler of live years rgo.
Springficldj Illinois ; Sherman , Texas ;
Philadelphia , Cincinnati , and several
other places are credited with IUH na
tivity.
HIS JIBAI. NAME
was Billy McCarthy , and ho was born
in New York , When ho was a very
Binull boy the family settled in Silver
City , Gr.int County , Now Mexico , and
ho was raised in that place. After the
death of his father his mother married
a man named Antrim , who is now
living in Georgetown , Now Mexico ,
and a brother of Billy is a miner in
that region. When ho'was about 15
yearn old ho was jailed in Silver City
for robbing a utoro. Being very small
for his ago , somu ladies took pity on
him and helped him to escape , which
ho did by crawling up through the
chimney of the jail. His feminine
sympathizers then furnished him
clothes and money and ho bkipped
over into Arizonia. Here , when he
_ waa 10 or 17 years old he
KILLED HIS FIHST MAN
in the most deliberate , cold-blooded
style. Pursuit was hot , and ho lied
back to New Mexico , and took refuge
among the cow-boys of Lincoln coun
ty , just about the time that the "Lin-
county war" broke out.
The war , according to Marion Tur
ner , who was a conspicuous figure in
it , originated in the determination of
"Old John Chisum" and his partner ,
Alex. McStvain , to establish a mo
nopoly in the stock-grazing business
and make themselves what they
claimed to be , "the cattle kings of the
Pecos valley. " They drove in 80 ,
000 head of cattle. The herds of the
Huioller ranchers wore swept away
with the rolling avalanche of hoofs
and horns. The losuru attempted' to
, u-.r- ? , , "
reclaim their animals. Cohsions be
tween the herders were of constant
occurrence. The firm of Murphy ,
Dolan Co. , headed the ranchmen
and herders opposed to Chisum and
McSwaiti. Both sides enlisted all the
strength and influence they could.
Chisum and McSwain hired "Billy ,
the kid. " and his reckless daro-dovil-
ism. his deadly marksmanship , his
skill as a horseman , and
1119 DELICUT IS MUIlUEIt
At once made him the loader of his
faction.
Early in 1879 Chiium had "tho
Kid" appointed deputy constable , and
armed with a warrant for the arrest ,
on some trivial charge , of William
Morton and Frank Barker , herdsmen
in the employ of Tom Catron , former
ly of Lafayette county , Mo. , and the
partner of lion. Stephen B. Elkins ,
also a Missouri boy , but long the Now
Mexican delegate in congress , and
now one of the "solid men" of Now
York. After arresting Merion and
Barker the Kid declared his determi
nation to kill them. A man named
McCluskoy , who had accompanied
him and assisted in making the arrest ,
interfered to prevent the murder. The
Kid promptly shot him dead in his
trucks and then
KILt.KO T1IK TWO I'lURONEUS
near Chisum's ranch.
Shoriir Brady and Deputy Shoriir
George llindmun , of Lincoln county ,
went out to arrest him for this triple
murder. The Kid waylaid them , and
firing upon them from behind the
[ ulobo wall around McSwnin'a houso.
killed them both. Ho now gathered
around him a band of outlaws and
desperadoes and defied county , terri
tory and United States authorities.
In Juno , 1870 , Marion Turner , deputy
shoriir of Lincoln county , had a war
rant placed in his hands lor the arrest
of the Kid for the murder of Morton ,
Barker , McOluskey , Brady and Hind-
man. Turner organized a posse of
: hirty-fivo mon , principally ranchmen
and cow-boys of the nnti-Chisum fac
tion , and started on
HIS DESrEIlATE ERRAND.
On tho17th of Juno ho came upon
the Kid with sixty-throe mon , and in-
itantly began a running fight which
lasted three days. Lieut. Col. Dud
ley , of the 9th Cavalry , ( Gen. Hatch's
famous colored regiment ) , learning
that re-enforcements were being sent
to the Kid , took two companies of his
regiment and wont to Turner's assis
tance. The Kid and his gang took
shelter in McSwain'a house , in the
town of Lincoln , the most elegantly
furnished dwelling in the Territoryand ;
it is said that during the fight Mrs.
McSwain encouraged her wild garrison
by playing inspiring airs on her piano
and singing rousing battle songs , until
the besieging posse , getting the range
of the piano from the sound , shot it to
pieces with their heavy buffalo rifles.
Dn the third day of the skirmish Tur
ner had the house fired by throwing
bucketfulls of blazing coal oil into it
and over it , and about dusk the des
peradoes made a rush to escape to
their horses. A desperate hand to
Kind fight ensued , in which twelve of
the Kid's men and two of Turner's
posse were killed , McSwain himself
being among the slain. In the break
from the burning house , the Kid's
Eartnor , Tom O'Fallaher ' , a young boy
: om San A'ntonia , Texas , noticed ono
of his friends fall near his side.
Amid a perfect
RTOUM OF BALLS AND BUCKSHOT ,
lie coolly stopped , picked up his com
rade , and started to carry him oil' in
liis arms ; but , finding ho was dead ,
threw down the body , and , pistol in
liis hand , fought his way out. Tom
was killed by Deputy Sheriff Pat.
Garrett's posse , shortly before the
capture of the Kid , last winter.
The Kid escaped fire , bullets jand
Turner's posse at the McSwaino house
light , and immediately reorganized his
? ang. About this time Axtell was re
moved from the governorship of the
territory and' Lew Wallace was ap
pointed in his place Chisum wont
ip to Santa Fe , and , by some means ,
won the now governor over to the side
of the Kid. George Taylor , Turner's
partner , talking to mo lust night about
; ho affair , said : "Wallace was a d d
romantic old fool , and easily led him
self to sympathize with the Kid , often
speaking of him as 'that bravo boy , ' or
iliut wild young knight errant. ' Ho
oat sight of his crimes in the romance
of his dovilishness. "
Under the influence of this foolish
sentiment , which was bettor suited
to a
ONE-HORSE NOVELIST
; han the Chief Executive of a turbu-
ent Territory , Gov. Wallace issued a
general proclamation of pardon to all
; he parties , including army ollicera ,
ivho had been engaged in the Lincoln
bounty outbreak , commanding them
to lay down their arms , go homo , and
< eep the peace. The "army-officer"
allusion of this remarkable pronuncia-
nonto was aimed at Lieut. Col. Dud
ley , of the ! Jth Cavalry , and , very
naturally , exasperated that gentle
man by placing him , in gubernatorial
race and estimation , exactly upon a
ovul with cow-boys , outlaws and
Kids.
His novclistio Excellency's bugle
mil scarcely rung truce when the
widow of McSwain resolved to prose

and destroyers of her homo. Shu em- .
> loyod a lawyer named Chapman , of
Las Vegas , who went down into Lin
coln County and promptly began to
stir up all the old strife , but was soon
murdered by a man named Campbell
and others of the opposite faction.
When Governor Wallace hoard of the
death of Chapman ho arose in all the
might and majesty of a little wooden
territorial official with a tin ear and
went down into Lincoln County , out-
Jawed Turner and his posse and all
other officers of the law who had been
fighting Chisum and McSwain and the
Kid and his gang , had Turner and ten
or twelve of his posse put in irons ,
ind had Col. Dudley arrested and re
lieved of his command.
Twenty-one indictments were found
against Turner for murder , arson and
cat.la stealing. Ho and his asso
ciates
LAY IN IKONS
forty days and nights and were then
brought before the court for trial , the
Kid appearing as the principal witness
against them. They were all acquitted
but Turner has been liarassed from
that day to this. "By G d , " said he
to'molastnighf. "they have had mo
indicted in every court since , and it
has cost me § 0,000 to stand them off ,
beside all the anuoyanco and loss of
timo. "
On the morning of the 27th of Sqv
tombor , 1875) , Tumor was married , at
a hotel in the town of Lincoln , to n
young girl named Haltio Phillips , who
had a cousin married to Surgeon Ap-
pol of the Oth Cavalry. The same
evening Appol , with two companies of
negro troops , surrounded the hotel
and
siKzr.i ) THR BIUDS
and carried her off claiming that she
WAS only sixteen years old ana n minor.
She was afterwards sent to Monroe ,
Michigan , and placed In n female sem
inary , where slio still is. She has an
uncle living there , Frederick C. God
frey , who was formerly Indian Agent
at the Mcscaloro Agency in Lincoln
county , and who took an active part
in spiriting her away. Her mind has
since boon so influenced against Tur
ner , that she recently applied for a
divorce , on the ground that the
marriage was illegal on account of her
minority. It was not so nndor the
laws of the territory , but Turner ad
mitted it in order to free her , and the
divorce was granted last month.
After the acquittal of Turner and
his men at the trial in Lincoln , the
Kid , on the advice of his friends , de
cided to leave the country , but
8W011F. HE WOULD KILL COL. DUDLEY
before ho wont. A court martial , or
court of investigation as to Dudley's
part in the fight of Juno , 1871' ' , was
going on at Fort Stanton , in Lincoln
county , Judge Ira E. Leonard , for
merly of Missouri , but now of Now
Mexico , had boon employed by Mrs.
McSwain to prosecute the charges
against Col. Dudley of being accessory
to the murder of her husband and the
burning of her house. Judge Leon
ard , at that time a resident of Las
Vegas , was accompanied to Fort
Stanton by John McPhcrson , chief of
police of Las Vegas , who had been
wanted by the gamblers and thugs of
that place to leave on pain of death.
McPnorson had been with Quantroll
during the war , and was himself a
desperado Returning to Las Vegas
some time afterward , the roughs car
ried out their threat , and killed him.
As ho and Leonard were sitting in
their room at Fort Stanton ono night ,
shortly after their arrival , they hoard
a tap on the window. Upon opening
the shutter the Kid stopped into the
room and announced that ho had come
to end the trial of Dudley by
killing him. With much ' diffi
culty they succeeded in dissuad
ing him from attempting to
EXECUTE HIS BLOODY PURPOSE.
Ho then mounted his horse and
struck out for the Staked Plains ,
where he embarked in the business of
cattle stealing at wholesale , making
his headquarters at Fort Sumner , and
finding purchasers for his stolen herds
among men whoso names are by no
means obscure in territorial history
aim affairs.
Having a difficulty with his old em
ployer , Chisum , in regard to wages
duo him for various services , ho swore
vengeance against him and hia , and
from that time on Chisum's herds and
herders suffered. How many men he
kileld , how many cattle ho stole , how
many deeds of daring deviltry and
cruelty ho perpetrated will probably
never bo known until the record
books of damnation are opened , and
cowboys and congressmen , law makers
and law breakers , presidents , pirates ,
governors and thugs are summoned to
judgment.
During the early part of the present
year Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett , of
Lincoln county , captured the Kid and
took him to Mesilla , where ho was
tried and
SENTENCED TO BE HANO1IL )
in the town of Lincoln Ho was
taken to Lincoln ironed and under a
strong guard. Soon after reaching
the town ho managed to knock Deputy -
uty Sheriff Bell in the head with his
handcuffs , and before lie could recover
from the stunning eflects of the blow
the Kid seized his pistol and shot
him dead. Deputy United Spates
Marshal Robert Ohlinger , who had
been ono of the Turner posse in 1879 ,
hearing the shot , came running , gun
in hand , to Bell's assistance. The
Kid , armed with Bell's shotgun and
pistol , saw Ohlinger coming , and
coolly hailed him with , "Hollo , Bob ! "
Ohlingor paused a second , and it cost
him his life ; the Kid poured a charge
of buckshot into his heart , killing
him instantly
TWO MUUDEIIS IN HALF A MINUTE.
The young monster then stepped out
on the portico of the old house in
which the dead mon had boon guard
ing him , and defied the whole town.
Ho made one man knock his irons off ,
and covering another with his death-
dc < iling shotgun , ordered him to saddle -
dlo a horse that was standing in the
street , walked out , mounted and gal
loped out of town in the presence of
the whole population.
But such a career must have an end
and ' ' the Kid"
'Billy was rapidly
ne.iring the inevitable close of his
blood-stained career. Ho had hereto
fore carried death with him , but
DEATH WAS NOW CLOSE AFTER HIU.
Deputy Sheriff Pat Garrett , with two
companions , started on his trail , swear
ing to capture or kill him or die try
ing. In some way known only to
himself Garrett learned that the Kid
would probably visit the houses of
Pete Maxwell , at Fort Sunnier , in
Lincoln county , some time during the
night of Thursday , July 14. Shortly
before midnight Gurrott wont to Max-
well's , and had just seated himself in
the dark on the side of Maxwell's bed
when the door opened , and
IN WALKED TUB KID.
Instantly detecting , in spite of the
darkness , that there was somebody in
the room with Maxwell , he leveled his
pistoli , exclaiming , "Quion es ? Quien
os ? " ( Who are you ? or Who' there ? )
But the delay of asking was fatal.
Before the words were off hia Hps Pat
Carroll's bullet was through his heart ,
and "Billy the Kid , " the terror of
New Mexico , lay a gasping , quivering
corpse , while his life-blood dyed the
dirt floor of Pete Maxwell' * dark
adobe hut. Eleven gory ghosts stood
waiting to escort him to eternal
shades.
IN PERSONAL ArTEAlUNCK
the Kid was anything but a desperado
or a monster. Ho was very email and
slender/ being about 5 foot 2 inches
tall , and weighing scarcely 120 pounds.
Ho had a plain but pleasant face ,
with thin , sharp features , blue eyes
and light hair , Ho was calculated to
make friends , and , atrango as it may
sePin left many whr- Miircrcly
mourned his death. Ono t f tin- best
men of the territory , Mlm , though
identified with the opposite faction ,
know him well , said to im < this morning
' "Do know I couldn't
ing : you help
fcoliiu' sorry when I heaul that boy
was killed. " Ho was a splendid
horseman and a dead shot , ami at the
time of his death was only about 22
years ol l.
The hero of the hour in No\v Mexico
ice now , the king lion of the terri
torial menagerie , is
TArsEY OARnBTT ,
the slayer of the Kid. His name is in
everybody's mouth. The pors a o
full of Ins exploits and his praises.
The very children in the streets stop
Mid honor him with ft curious and ad
miring stare as ho passes. 1 met him
yesterday in Santa Fo , and a milder-
looking , gentler-spoken fellow I never
saw. Ho is about 27 years old , 0 feet
5 inches tall , and of almost willowy
slenderness , with the Alight tendency
to a sloop in his position that is na
tural to ono of his build.
His complexion , naturally fair ,
is sun'tnnnod to n ruddy bnmn. His
eyes are greyish brown and keen as an
eagle's , and his hair and slight mus-
taehoaroof a light brown tint scarcely
deeper than golden. His vnico is as
'
SOFT AH A WOMAN'S ,
and ho rarely uses it to talk of himself.
Ho spoke very kindly of the Kid , and
having occasion , in reply to a ques
tion , to allude to the exploit which
has made him famous , limply re
marked ; "Ho was taken the night of
the 14th of this month. " I asked him
if the Kid had really killed as many
men as the papers report , from nine
teen to twenty-six. J'So , " he an-
answered , in Ilia musical , feminine
voice , "ho only killed eleven that I
know of. " I thought ono for every
two years of his lifo was nearly enough.
Somo1 hitch having occurred in re
gard to the reward Garrett expected
to got from the territorial authorities ,
the people of all the cities and towns
in the territory have gone to work to
raise a subscription for him , and Las
Vegas alone him already made up a
purse of nearly 81,200 in gold. If
other places do as much in proportion ,
the fund will amount to a good many
thousands. . P. DONAN.
