GARRETT AFTER LEE.
Attempt to Arrest Lee and Gilliland
Deputy Sheriff Kearney
Seriously Wounded.
Posse Still in Pursuit of Fugitives.

News from Las Cruces gives the fol-
lowing account of a fight between a
posse under command of Sheriff Pat
Garrett, of Dona Ana county, and Oliver
Lee and Tom Gilliland, for whose ar
rests on a charge of numbering Albert
J. Fountain and son, warrants had
been issued and given to Sheriff Garrett
to serve.
The reports say, that on Monday
evening last, the sheriff learned that
Lee and Gilliland were at a ranch about
20 miles from Las Cruces. The sheriff
and posse Immediately started on the
trail, and upon arriving at the house
found that the men had gone in the
direction of Lees ranch. They fol-
lowed their trail all night and about 4
o'clock Tuesday morning arrived at a
place called Lees Well, in the Jarilla
mountains, Is miles east of AlamogOrdo
They left their horses some distance
away and quietly surrounded and en-
tered the house, calling upon the in
mates to throw up their hands. Lee
and Gilliland were not in the house, but
their horses and saddles were located in
a corral near by. In searching around
the premises Garrett saw the end of a
ladder protruding over the edge of the
roof and discovered thereon a barricade
of adobes with portfolios through which
to shoot. One man was then stationed
inside the house and the others took
positions at various places neal it. Dep
uty kearney and II other deputy
o1iro hoH on fn fhn rnof nf a fro Duf-
building about so feet distant and dis
covered Lee and Gilliland lying on their
faces behind the barricade with their
guns in their hands. Kearney raised
up and called on them to surrender. As
he did so, they raised their guns to fire
and he discharged his own weapon,
instantly followed by two reports from
the roof. Both shots took effect on
Kearney, n breaking his shoulder, the
other lodging in his thigh.
Kearney was placed in a wagon be-
hind the frame building and the fight
became general. About 25 shots were
fired. Sheriff Garrett and his men had
no other protection than the thin boards
of which the outbuilding was construct
ed. Garrett was wounded in the face by
SplluIeTS cauSeu ny JULIUS WHICH pasSeu
through the house. Kearney was
meantime exposed to the fire and it was
impossible for the posse to fire without
exposing themselves.
An employee of Lee, who was working
at the pump, then volunteered to induce
Lee to surrender. A conversation re-
suited between Garrett and Lee, in
which the former promised protection
in case of surrender, which was refused.
In order to rescue Kearney, who was
badly wounded, Garrett finally agreed
to allow Lee and Gilliland to ride away,
which they did.
Kearney was taken to a doctor as
o o as possible. The doctor pronounced
his wounds dangerous. though not nee
essarily fatal.
The Ell Paso Times contains the fol.
lowing additional particulars:
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1898-07-15

Alamogordo, N. M, July 13.-H. X.
Kearney, the deputy sheriff shot by Lee
and Gilliland in the fight at Lees Well
Yesterday, is in a critical condition.
One ball passed through his left shoulder
breaking it, and one lodged in the right
leg Just below the thigh. The wounds
are badly lacerated, as though made by
explosive balls, as many of these bullets
passed through the corrugated iron roof
of an out-building, through a bundle of
cowhides in the house, through a wagon
box on the outside of the house and
then passed into the ground. The ball
which struck Kearney in the thigh first
passed through a corrugated iron roof
and through the side of the frame out
house. All the shots aimed at Ben Will
liams passed through a water tank full
of water, at least eight feet in diameter.
During the fight yesterday, while Gar
ret was talking to Lee about surrender
ing, Lee took deliberate aim at CARROTS
head through a hole in the adobe wall.
Garrett saw the gun pointed at him and
lodged just in time to escape, for the
ball crashed through a board where his
head had been a moment before.
Lee UOlu OdTFoGJ UnHJ ne WOulu never
surrender unless he was Immediately
granted bond. Garrett told him that he
had no authority to grant such a request,
but would guarantee him every protec-
tion by the law.
All the time while the shooting was
going on Lee and Gilliland could be
heard laughing. At one time Lee called
out to Garrett asking him if he did not
think that he Lee) had the best Of the
situation. Garrett told him he did have
the best of it and Lee said:
"You don't know how much the best;
l am d-n we'll fixed up here"
Sheriff Garrett and Deputy Williams
left here at 8 o'clock yesterday evening
and are now pursuing Lee and Gilliland,
who have gone into the rough mountain
J country at the head of Dog canon. Lee
and Gilliland have fortified houses all
over the country, and the slayer of Billy
the Kid has a tough job before him.
Relative to Lees statement that
CARROTS party shot first, Kearney,
the wounded man, says that in
climbing up on the outbuildings he was
in front of Garrett and Espaulin. AS he
reached the top he Strengthened up. At
that moment he discovered Lee and Gill
liland aiming their guns at him. He
called to them to surrender and they
both fired. Then a general firing took
place.

WASHOUTS ON THE RIO GRANDE R. R.
Wednesdays Storms Washed Away Ten
Miles of Track on New Mexico Division
-Repairs Rapidlv Making.

The Denver & Rio Grande railroad
suffered considerably from the heavy
rain of Wednesday night. At a number
of points between here and Antonito
washouts of the track occurred.
Altogether nearly ten miles of rails
were forced from their bed by the sand
washing down from the mountains and
by the flood itself. The principal dam
age was done in the Comanche canon
between Embudo and Barranca. A
bridge that was never before disturbed
by freshets had a portion of it's founda-
ton washed out, but this was quickly
remedied.
Yesterday mornings train out of San
ia Fe got as far as within two miles of
EmbudO, when it had to return to this
city unable to proceed further. No
train vas sent out from here today.
A large force of men under Division
Superintendent Cole Lydon is at work
making repairs and a strong effort is
being made to get the road in suitable
shape to allow Saturdays train to run
as usual and on schedule time.
