<b>1389. PATRICK F. GARRETT</b> (1850 - 1908) American frontier lawman who tracked down and killed Billy the Kid, he later organized the LS Pat Garrett Rangers to put down cattle rustling in the Texas Panhandle.

While running for sheriff, Garrett settles a $20 debt owed to Bowles, apologizing for his lateness in paying. He notes: <i>"ÉMy excuse is I did not have the money. Our country is hard up, and it has been hard work for me to get money to pay running expensesÉI have reason to believe I will be in shape to pay my outstanding indebtednessÉI hope you are getting all right with your race. How are `they' getting along, have things in shape when I come down and we will play at the gameÉ</i>". Fine condition.<b> $2,000-3,000</b>
