Does this sound as though the people have taken advantage of this big Closing Out Sale? Our sales slips show that
there have been fully 6.000 satisfied purchasers that have taken advantage of this mighty sacrificing of Merchandise.
For not being able to gain admittance. The crowds were immense. The sidewalks were black with people. But what
could we do? It was a perplexing problem to handle the crowds. We did our best. Everyone that gained admittance
were waited on. But now, during the closing days of this BATTLE OF PRICES, all of the odds and ends and broken lots
of this once splendid stock must leave the house without further notice. We say to you: Take anything that you want
and at your own price, as positively no goods will be placed to the side. Our lease expires on this building on January
18th, 1909, at 12 o’clock noon, and not a minute longer, at which time the concern so well known as the Manufacturers
Outlet Clothing Co. will have been entirely wiped out of existence.
LISTEN!
LISTEN!
An extra force of salespeople has been employed for these last days of this mammoth Battle of Prices, but it will become
absolutely necessary at times to close the doors to take care of the crowd. You will be waited on as quickly as possible.
THE MORE YOU SPEND HERE THE MORE YOU SAVE!

ONLY A BOY, YET A TERROR.
This Youthful Desperado of the South-
western Territories Was but Twen-
ty-one When He Met Death at the
Hands of Sheriff Pat Garrett.
When General Lew Wallace was
governor of New Mexico and the war
that raged for several years between
the rival cattle companies was at ity
height “Billy the Kid" had reached
the flood of his murderous career. He
arrived in Lincoln county to take sides
in the cattle warfare, known and
Kid possessed himself of a revolver,
shot down his guards, seized their
weapons and appeared at the window.
When another guard appeared the
prisoner riddled his body with buck.
shot. Then he called to an old man on
the plaza to bring him a file. Filing
off one of his shackles, he called for a
horse. One was brought, and he es
caped.
For nearly three months after that
Billy the Kid led a fugitive life
Garrett dogged him patiently and final
ly got wind of his hiding place—the |
ranch of Peter Maxwell, near Foi
Sumner. It was nearly midnight when
Garrett and two deputies quietly ap-
proached the Maxwell hacienda. Gar
rett crept into the room where Max-
well was sleeping. Softly awakening
the sleeper, he questioned him concern-
ing the whereabouts of the Kid.
At that moment the hunted youth

Pure wanton love of carnage was all
that attracted him to Lincoln county.
With the band of desperadoes he led
he raided ranches, “shot up” towns,
killed, burned houses and committed
outrage after outrage with the blind
recklessness of a maniac. Fear was
extinct within him. He cared no more
for detachments of cavalry than he
did for cowering sheriffs.
Affairs in Nbw Mexico finally came
to such a pass that half the cattlemen
paid the youthful! desperado tribute.
It was only after Pat F. Garrett was
made sheriff of Lincoln county and the
author of “Ben-Hur” (General Wal-
lace) urged that fearless gun fighter
and gambler to capture Billy the Kid
that a determined effort was made to
end his reign of terror.
The obstacles that Garrett had to en
counter called for all his headlong en-
ergy and nerve. Billy had the entire
countryside in a state of abject terror;
friends were ready to give him timely
warning of pursuit; ranchmen dared
not deny him lodgment or conceal
ment.
Pat Garrett undertook the capture in
October, 1880, and on Dec. 20 he sur-
rounded the Kid and his band in a
deserted house near Stinking Springs.
After a slege lasting most of the day
the outlaws’ ammunition was exhaust-
ed. Billy the Kid surrendered. He
and his four followers, surrounded by
a great force of armed men, were taken
to Las Vegas and thence to Santa Fe
for safe keeping.
An array of indictments charging
murder confronted him. He was tried
on one indictment and acquitted, then
tried on another and convicted. Fe
carried himself throughout with sneer
ing defiance. After he had been sen
tenced to hang Garrett took him to
Fort Stanton, near Lincoln. Two depu-
ties armed with Winchesters were as-
signed to guard him in the temporary
jail in the Murphy & Dolan store build
ing.
In some mysterious fashion the
armed, and as he reached for his rifle
Garrett shot him. The body of Wil
liam Bonney (Billy the Kid) was bur
fed In the military cemetery at Fort
Stanton July 15, 1881. His age at the
time of his death was twenty-one years
seven months. There his body is to-
day, though in later years a corpse was
exhibited throughout the west as that
of the famous young outlaw.--Harper"

Made of Adobe In Bolivia—Growing
Trees Used In Africa.
The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from the cap-
ital of Bolivia, La Paz, to the town of
Oruro. In this part of Bolivia there
are no growing trees, and wood is so
difficult to find that even the ordinary
household furniture of the natives is
invariably made not of wood, but of
dried mud or adobe.
So when the war broke out between
Chile and Bolivia and a telegraph line
became urgent it was adobe that was
chosen for the queerest telegraph poles
in existence. These pillars were built
on stone foundations and measured
about five feet square at the base, with
4 height of about fifteen feet.
They were placed at intervals of
about 361 feet and thus held the wire
at a height sufficient to clear the only
animals of the country, the llama and
the donkey. The total length of the
line was 156 miles.
Among other curious telegraph lines
is the growing pole line erected in
Uganda by an English engineer, whe
could not find any dead wood which
would withstand the white ants and
hit upon the idea of transporting grow.
Ing bark cloth trees to the side of the
roads and using them as poles.
In the Dutch East Indles growing
trees are turned to account also, but
there a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side.
and the insulator is suspended in its
middle, and the line is thus over the
road and clear from vegetation.—Ch!
