SHERIFF PAT GARRETT SLAIN
Man Who Killed A8illy the Kid"
Shot by New Mexican.
Wayne Brazle Surrenders to Sheriff
ard Says He Killed Famous
Ranger in Self-Defense.

Santa Fe, New Mexico. - Patrick
T. Garrett, until two years ago Col
lector Of Customs ct Ell Paso, Texas.
was shot and killed near Las Cruces,
New Mexico, by Wayne Brazle, son OF
an old settler.
Garrett was the slayer of the noto-
rious "Billy the Kid" in 1880. He
served as Captain of Texas Rangers
and Sheriff of Dona Ana County. He
was a personal friend OF President
Roosevelt.
After the shooting Brazle rode five
miles to Las Cruces and surrendered
to Sheriff Lucero. He said he had
shot in self-defense, and that he had
not drawn a gun until after Garrett
had reached for his shotgun. The
quarrel between Garrett and Brazle
started over a ranch that had been
leased by Garrett to Brazle, and on
which he had pastured a herd OF
goats. Garrett demonstrated with his
lessee, and declared that goat pastur-
ing was in viola<on of the contract
between them. He threatened to re-
sort to the courts to prevent what ne
thought a breach Of contract, n the
men quarreled.
Garrett was Sheriff in Lincoln
County, New Mexico, thirty years ago,
and his campaign against cattle rust
lers was replete with dashing arrests
and bloody encounters with the cat
tie thieves.
The best known of his exploits was
the killing, while an officer OF the
law, of "Billy the Kid" who after
killing, according to some reports,
twoscore Of men, was lodged In the
Territorial penitentiary, only to es-
cape. Garrett took up the hunt for
the outlaw, and found him in Dona
Ana County. Garrett managed to
secret himself in a house where "The
Kid" was to rendezvous, and as the
outlaw stepped into the place with his
gun drawn Garrett proved to be the
quicker on the trigger. s
Garrett used to say, after passing
through a ~perilous experience, that he
would die with his boots or.
Garrett first appeared in New Mex
leo in 1878, and went to Lincoln
County, where he engaged In ranch
ing and cattle raising. He soon
gained a reputation as a cowboy, and
in. 1880 he was elected Sheriff OF Lin
coin County. Later Garrett moved to
Dona Ana County, where he served
two terms as Sheriff.
Garrett was later a Captain OF
Rangers in Texas, and did much to
help make the reputation for fearless
ness which the Texas Rangers then
had.
