PAT GARRETT KILLED
IN A GUN FIGHT
The Pioneer Sheriff and Slayer OF
"BiIIy the Kid," Useful Man
In the ClyiIlzing of South
east New Mckee
KILLED BY BRAztl, A RANCHMAN

Pat Garrett, one OF the best known
among New Mexico's old-timers,
and the Lincoln county sheriff who
killed Billy the Kid" the boy out
law, nearly twenty-five years ago
at old Fort Sumner, near the town
OF Sunnyside, on the Santa Fe cut
off, little more than a hundred miles
south and east of Tucumcari, was
killed last week by Wayne Brazel,
a ranchman, six miles out of las
Cruces, in a gun fight. The diff
Guilty, as reported, came up over a
lease of the Garrett ranch, the
fight taking place en- route from the
ranch to Las Cruises.
AS the story goes, the men were
quarreling and Garrett jumped out
of the buggy, shotgun in hand,
when Brazel shot him twice with a
Colts 45-once in the head and
once through the lungs. 1t seems
that developments show, however,
that the wound in the head was
from the back, and it will be bad for
Brazel unless he can prove self-de-
fence. Brazel rode into Las Cruises
and gave himself up to the sheriff,
and it is understood that prelimin-
airy examination will be waived and
habeas corpus proceedings institu-
ted for bail.
According to Brazel's story, it is
stated, Garrett got out of his buggy
and grabbed his shotgun. Brazil
was armed with a As Colts revolt
yer, and he Immediately drew it and
began shooting at Garrett. Garrett,
it is said, tried to S the shotgun,
but fell dead before he could draw
back the hammer.
Brazel stated that there were sew
eral eye witnesses to the killing,
and that he depends upon their tes-
timony to show that he was forced
to kill Garrett and would have inn
perilled his life by hesitating a frac-
ton of a second.
The killing of Garrett created in
tense excitement, but there appears
to be no ill feeling against Brazel,
owing to the circumstances sur
rounding the affair.
GARRETT's HISTORY
Pat Garrett first appeared in New
Mexico about 1878 and went to
Lincoln county, where he quietly
engaged in ranching and cattle rails
ing. He soon gained a reputation
as a cowboy, and in 1880 he was
elected sheriff of Lincoln county.
One year later, after having been
the principal in a dozen exciting
fights and adventures, he shot and
killed the famous boy outlaw,
Billy the Kid" who had the repu.
tation of having killed I'VE twenty
men in a few brief years. Billy
the Kid" was a fugitive from jus.
ice, and no officer cared TO face hin
alone and single-handed.
Later Garrett moved to Dona
Ana county, where he served two
terms as sheriff.
Garrett was later a captain o
rangers in Texas, and did much tc
help make the reputation TO
fearlessness which the Texas ran
gers then had.
About four years ago Presiden
Roosevelt appointed Garrett col

Tale of a Crab

Here is rather a startling tale of a huge crab told in the demure language of a Japanese newspaper: In the harbor of Shidmidzu a great haul of fish is daily experienced since the return of tho new year, to the delight of the fisherman. Some of the eager buyers sail of 10 purchase fish before the fish ermen's junks arrive from the seaward. Among these competitive purchasers was one named Kato, who sailed out by himself in small boat. As he was steering his way outward he cspied at a distance some dark object.
 ''As it showed the upper half of it. self above the water he was convinced that it was a crab of really monstrous size. The man sailed toward the shore with all his might and main. The crab, however. appeared to be bent on fight with the man and swan before the boat with incredible rapidity. The hug erustacean soon overlook the boat and putting one of its bony arms over the side, threatened to overtnIn it.
 After long and fierce battle thu crab was vanqnished and captured. Ks to brought it ashore and showed it t, his astonishcd friends. It's arms wer over twelve feet in length and the sig of it's shell is about five feet in diam ctcr. Its weight is about twenty kan (l60 pounds.)

sTOEY or DELINEAToR'S
 CHILD RESCUE CAMPAIGN
The Growth of all Idea Which Has Aroused Public Sentiment Through
 out America

Thc story of the Delineator Child Rescue Campaign is simple one. The president of tke Butterick Publishing Company wanted 10 do something for children. He had an idea that it would 1e fine thing to cndow an orphanage. Tie editor of the Delineator disagreed with him. Some time in the past he md heard charity worker talk of a liHcrent method of caring for orphans.
 lc sent out to Homer Folks, to Dr. dastiEgs Hart and to various other ex- ports in ehild-rescue work and became convinced that the place for the normal homeless child was in home where. ever hearts were warm enough to wei. como him. Gradually from the infor- maron accumulated was evolved the Child Rescue Campaign. The editors of the Delineator have been working upon the campaign since las, August and th.y are still learning.
 In the six months of its Child Rescue Campaign the Delineator has accomp lishcd certain results. It is now in touch with forty.fvc agencies for the placing of children. IL is in eorrespon- dencc with twelve hundred institutions caring for children. IL has been sur prised that number of these iasti- .utions are ready and willing to sur render dependent children to good homes, believing this to be the better method of caring for them, and it is connecting such institutions with such agencies as Dr. Hart 5. It has facil- itated the placing of several hundred children in good homes. It has brought together and erystallized the best thought of the country upon this sub. ject and presented it in readable form to the laity--thc public which knows nothing of this form of work but is ready to hear of it. Who can measure the results of such education2 It has held itself ready to consider any sug- gestion, any criticism that is offered, sacrificing much valuable copy, from the magazine standpoint, in. the inter ests of the children.
 It intends to go on as fast as wis dom permits, in close connection with the most advanced thinkers upon the

EQUITABLE EXPERIMENTATION
Membership in Congress Should Be
 Sealed on Voting Population

Sooner or later, as the population of this nation grows, the numerical propor. ton to congressional representation will have to be increased. At present 1t varies widely. A few minutes com munion with the congressional directory will show that the sparseiy ponniated stntes are moro strongly represented than those moro dcnsely inhabited. To Illustrate by only few examples:
 New York, with 100000 population, ans 37 representatives, while Illinois, with 4.s00,000, has %; Ohio, with 4,l00,- 900, 2l; ard so on, An examination of the varying voting strength of various districts in many states will make clear the gerrymandering done by the state legislatures at the expense of pro per and efficient representation.
 The method of representation in the British house of commons differs so greatly from ours that a comparison can hardly be made. With population of about 45,000,000. or little moro than half that probably existing in the Unit ed States proper, the United Kingdom sends about roo members to the house of commons. The body is expected to assemble in room not half as large as our hall of representatives, in which we stow away few more than 400.
 The timc has come, in the United States, for q great change in the con. stitueney of our house of representa-. tives like that made in the United King dom by the reform bill of 1867 6s--fol. lowed as it was by the redistribution of seats act of 1885. In other words, rep resentation must be sealed upon voting population, or electors! This will set tie, without bloodshed, the much dis cussed question of representation in the southern states. The next step must necessarily be eligibility. With all the millions spent upon our public schools, excused for ignorance among candidates for the suffrage privilege ought to cease to exist with the present generation. A property qualification is repugnant. But the capacity to read ballot, in land where the ballot is claimed to be om. nipotent, must soon become an inexor. able test of citizenship:

Holland,s source of wealth

"Whcn it comes to coffee, sugar, in. digo, spices, and tobacco, all the nations of the world have to take off their hats to the little kingdom of Holland," said Mr. Karl van Valkenberg, of Amster. dam, at the Stafford.
 "0nce in every two weeks the Meth erlands Company sells more coffee than all tho rest of the world E markets com. bined. This fortunate situation comes about through the ownership of our is land colonies. Sumatra, which is almost thirty times as large as Holland. sends Its tobacco crop to the home govern ment. Java, tremendously larger, is also ours, and to it we are indebted for our coffee. Borneo, which would make a dozen of us, is our source of coal sup, ply, and from the islands of Blanca and Billion we get vast quantities of tin So you sec that Holland s riches come largely from her insular possessions.
