Garrett, the furmer sheriff of Dona Ann eoiuiiy. in Texas, who was recently shot ai:d killed by J. Wayne Bra.Ie. a .vo'Khful r;: mtiiuaii. one of bis tenants, near l..is Cruces. N. M.. in a dispute over a much lca :o. won popular fame In 1S") wlien he put to an end the bloody larecr of "Hilly the Kid," the twenty-one-.veii"-old ban (lit, who had killed tweuty-one men "Just to see them kick." Fur t.vo years or more "the Kid" bud been tin- terror of New Mexico with his thieving m raudlng and his frequently reiurrin;; man killings. Ho had met all comers and they were easy, but he hadn't met Pat Garrett. When he did, he erred, Garrett had first come Into notice ns a foe of "bad men" In New Mexico about two years before he dually bunt ed down and killed the notorious "Kid,' and he was anything except a green man at the game of fighting desperate criminals when the climax of his ca reer came. Along about 1878, when Garrett was first mode sheriff of Lin coin county, largely through the Influ ence of General Lew Wallace, then governor of New Mexico, no oue knew much about the young officer or of bis mode of handling a gun, say the Kan sas City Star. One day a friendly des perado, attracted by Garrett's Innocent appearance, took him aside for a bit of counsel and advised him to go back to Texas, where there were lucid Inter vals of peace sometimes. ' "This country Is too warm for the like o you," urged the desperado, "and you'll not last through tho summer." "ThankB," drawled Pat Garrett. "1 can stand considerable heat, and I guess I'll stay." It was said of Garrett that be could pull and shoot In about the time It takes a fly to get from under the hand that tries to catch it, and It seems to have been literally true. Garrett gave the first demonstration of hid skill with the revolver for the benefit of a western gentleman Indulg ing In a little western saloon merri ment. The gentleman, one Greeufelt, with a weakness for oilier men's horses, wns amusing himself in a sa loon making a couple of men dance by shooting nt their feet. A third, whose terpsiehorenn skill or bashfuluess had met the disapproval of the horse thief, lay on the door with a bullet Incon veniently conceulcd In his person when Pat Garrett casually dropped In. "Three hands around!" whooped the horse thief, shifting his pistol toward Garrett, and almost on the last word be lunged forward on his face with a ballet through his heart. The last Bound be heard In this world was Gar rett's 'drawling comment: "You're a poor culler." Gurrett had a number of other ad ventures before he finally came to the point In his life where "Illlly the Kid" demanded his attention. But that time finally came. The bandit had Just been out on one of his usual forays, which terminated In a saloon brawl and the ruthless killing of n man. It was the outlaw's twenty-first victim and his last. When Garrett Bet out for ."the Kid" he departed on no ordinary mission even for a man used to tbo capture and killing of 'border outlaws. Tho bandit wns a wild and lawless youth, cunning, bravo aud dashing and as clever and fast with n gun as any man that ever trod the west, even though bo was only a boy in years. Billy was both unscrupulous and cunning, albeit not without a leaveu of chivalry and romance. His adventures had been numerous, and he wns New Mexico's desperado hero, but Garrett didn't mind. When the plucky sheriff overtook the bandit, "the Kid" took n look at his op ponent, whom he knew Immediately by repute, and' decided that It was better to glre up. He was tried and convicted of murder nnd sentenced to death. But the bandit was destined to die In, an other fashion than on the scaffold. Two careless deputies were outwitted, nnd he escaped. A less experienced man would have gone out In pursuit while the trail was hot. Not so Garrett, who knew the wavs of the desperate und wily outlaw. Iustead ho set out for the Maxwell ranch, near Cnrlzzoo, In Llneolu coun ty, where "the Kid's" sweetheart lived. Garrett and bis men lay In wait until they saw a man dodge Into the house uuder cover of the night. Garrett sin gle handed slipped In after him and posted bis men on the porch. Garrett kuew Maxwell and walked to his room to ask whether the bandit had come in. Maxwell wns asleep and had to be awakened. He knew nothing of "the Kid" and wasn't expecting him, but Garrett was pretty certain and on guard. He bad Just turned from Max well's bed In the darkness when "the Kid" entered the room. There wns n tense moment. The bandit advanced to the bed, believing to speak t') Maxwell. "Who are tlieyV ho asked, noticing the men on the porch. Iu an Instant he knew that Maxwell was not .".lone. The boy bandit made a quick, catlike move backward nnd whipped out his gun with Incredlblo swiftness, but he was yet too slow. A bullet from Garrett's gun made him a bandit no longer. Garrett tiled his own prophecy that he would dlo with hi? boots on. igaafflHgittawi HUBS!
