Garrett was in White Oaks at the time
and the escape of Billy the Kid greatly
chagrined that officer. Although an at
tempt was made to follow the trail of the
outlaw the chase was soon given up. For
more than two months the Kid roamed
about the country in the vicinity of Fort
Sumner, never stopping long at any place.
The men who had assisted in the first cap
ture of the Kid now made themselves
scarce, feeling sure that the Kid would try
to obtain revenge Garrett made no public
attempt to continue the search for the es-
capped criminal, but he was busy forming
plan for his capture.
One day he set out with two companions
from Roswell. Garrett determined to go to
Pete Maxwell's ranch, knowing that Max
we'll was good friend Of the Kid. The
three men arrived at the Maxwell ranch
about midnight. Leaving two of them on
guard in front Garrett walked into the
house and awakened Maxwell. While he
was talking there the Kid came around
the corner of the house, and, seeing two
strangers standing there on guard, he
dashed into the house, exclaiming in Span
ish, "Who comes there?'
Garrett saw the intruder enter the room
and whisper to Maxwell, "Who is it,
Peter" Maxwell did not reply. The out
law approached the bed where Maxwell was
lying and repeated his question. The room
was dark and Garrett remained undiscov.
cred until Billy had touched the bed, when
he saw stranger sitting on the side of the
bed. Quickly retreating to the door, he
called: -"Who's that? Who's that"
That's him." whispered Maxwell to
Garrett, and he slipped out of the bed and
crouched down on the floor behind. Gar
rett raised his revolver and fired twice.
All this happened in a moment There
was no time for questioning. The outlaw
fell at the first shot, the guard rushed in
from without; but Billy the Kid was
dead. His revolver was grasped in one
hand and butcher knife in the other. He

was something of a mystery to the gener-

detected strangers about the place.
Thus ended the career of Billy the Kid.
who had inundated the entire country
for several hundred miles around. Gar
rett's fame increased throughout the whole
country, and many bad citizens decided to
emigrate without delay. After the trou-
bles had died away and criminals had been
tried and sentenced either to death or to
long terms in the penitentiary Garrett
who served for a time as sheriff of Lincoln
county, retired to quiet life once more and
pursued his calling as a cattle grower.
This year he was recalled once more to
chase down murderers and rustlers.

The right and title to a woman were

$15, G. E. Demitt selling his wife for

bidding them friendly goodby. Short

OUR COAST DEFENSES.
A CONVENTION TO BE HELD TO
DISCUSS THEM.

IN Case of War With a Foreign Nation
Our Coasts Could Be Riddled and In
credible Damage Done-A Gathering of
Deep Interest For All Patriotic Citizens,
A convention will meet at Tampa,
Fla, on Jan. 81 which ought to be we'll
attended and which certainly ought to
have an interest for the whole country.
1t is called by the governor of Florida
in circular letter which he has sent to
the governors of all the other states,
and the object of it, as he sets forth in
his letter, is to "discuss methods for
the proper defense Of southern harbors
and to devise means for their better
ment. " The harbors which he has in
mind are those of the southern Atlantic
seaboard and of the gulf.
The call for this gathering comes at
peculiarly opportune time The posi-
bility of trouble with Spain gives a
deep interest to the subject of protection
for the coasts 1t happens in this case
that the part Of the coast which would
be the handiest to attack is the part
which is the least adequately defended.
All the country's ports are weak in
means to repel an enemy, and those
from the Virginia coast around to Flori-
da and Texas particularly so.
The danger to be guarded against is
not the possible holding Of any of these
ports-for nobody in Europe or any
where else believes any foreign nation
could do this for more than few DAYS
at the outSide-but the destruction or
serious injury of some of them by a
sudden dash might be an incident of a
war with even third rate power like
Spain.
This peril should give the whole
country deep interest in the coming
gathering and impel every state to send
delegates to it. There is no immediate
danger of trouble with Spain or any
other country; but, as before mentioned,
this Cuban conflict. unless the iingoes
are suppressed, may involve the United
States at any time. Yet, even if this Gu
ban struggle were ended, the necessity
for strengthening the country's harbors
would remain.
The defenseless condition of the coasts
shows lack of forethought which ex-
poses us to ridicule and at the same
time deprives the country to some ex-
tent of weight in diplomatic matters
Commensurate with it's extent and re-
sources. The creation of an adequate
system of coast defenses will require the
labor of years, and a beginning of the
work cannot with safety be any longer
neglected. st. Louis Globe Democrat
