July 20, 1881
THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, NY, and dated July 20, 1881.

* Billy the Kid's Slayer Thanked
* Pat Garrett

Page 2 contains a brief but articulate article headed: " Billy the Kid's Slayer Thanked".  Best to view the photo for complete text of the coverage.  It mentions, among other things, "His boast was that he had killed a man for every year of his age, which was probably true."  Additional news of the day as shown in the attached images.

Complete in 8 pages, some browning at the edges & some margin tears, generally in very nice condition for a newspaper from this era.
