O HO HO KD Situated Start of the Lincoln County Wars In 1877, an Englishman named John Tunstall came to town to create competition for the local monopoly that owned the main store and had a corner on the lucrative contracts to deliver cattle to the military. History has revealed in his letters home that he planned to put his competition out of business and then create a monopoly of his own. Tunstall never had the opportuni- ty, since he grossly underestimated the ruthlessness of the lawless West. Local History, Culture, and Heritage in the heart of historic outlaw country and stomping grounds of Sheriff Pat Garrett, the notorious Lincoln County Wars and the legendary Billy the Kid, Felix River Ranch and Felix Canyon Ranch offers guests an opportunity to explore this fascinating heritage and relive the events of the Old West. The Dolan house, owned by Jim Dolan, the man almost single-handedly responsible for the famed Lincoln County Wars, is located on the grounds of Felix Canyon Ranch! Indeed, the entire surrounding area is steeped in Wild West history. The prominent partner in the competing Murphy store, Lawrence Murphy, and his most ambitious young part- ner, Jim Dolan, had Tunstall killed on February 18, 1878. Tunstall's employees who had escaped their employer s fate wanted revenge. The most notable of these was a youth of sunny disposition, William Bonney, who would become known as Billy the Kid. Tunstall's death set into motion the Lincoln County War that caused as much as a quarter of the population of Lincoln to be murdered over the next 5 months. This conflict came to a head over four days in the middle of July when the two warring factions barricaded themselves in local houses and stores and shot it out. There was actually very little blood shed, until the US Army showed up and took sides with the ex-army cronies of the Murphy/Dolan camp. After Tunstall's death, a young lawyer named Alexander McSween led what became known as the Regulators. When the US Army showed up, the Regulators were holed up in McSween's adobe house. The house was slowly burning from being torched. At this point, a dispirited McSween gave up all hope and an enthusiastic Billy the Kid took charge. Billy and a group of volunteers created a diversion to allow the others hole up in the house to escape. Although successful in creating a diversion, the others waited too long. They finally did make a run for it, and they were all shot. Only a badly wounded 15-year-old managed to escape. Only one of Billy's group died, a young law student who had ironically come out west for his health. This shoot out basically ended the Lincoln County Wars; both sides ended up losing. There was tremendous bloodshed on both sides, Tunstall was dead, and Dolan was bankrupt. The citizens of Lincoln put down their arms and made peace with each other.

O HO HO KD The story behind the legend of Billy the Kid The story of the Lincoln County Wars and Billy the Kid has all of the elements that made the West wild. The story starts with a group of ex-army men from the bloody Civil War who were running the town with monopolistic zeal. The prize was not only the profitable main store, but also lucrative government cattle contracts. The Trial of Billy the Kid For all of the murders and countless other offenses committed during the Lincoln County War on both sides, Billy the Kid was the only person ever charged with breaking the law an incredibly unjust thing, especially considering he was just one of six gunmen in the shooting for which he was charged. This made him a fugitive, and he became the leader of a small gang of rustlers that terrorized the county until he was caught in December of 1880. Billy was tried and sentenced to hang. Billy's escape into legend Well known throughout New Mexico on the afternoon of April 28, 1881 he catapulted himself into international legend when he escaped from jail. During the jailbreak, he killed a guard who had taunted him constantly about the pains of death by hanging and had dared Billy to try to breakout so he could shoot him. As a testament to how well liked he was in Lincoln, he stayed around for an hour making a speech to the locals and then went around shaking hands. He left town singing on a borrowed horse that he actually returned as he promised he would. Billy is hunted down The official record states that 76 days after his escape, Billy the Kid was shot through the heart in a darkened room by lawman Pat Garrett. Life expectancy in the west, due to this lawlessness, was short. Many of the men killed in the Lincoln County War had not turned 20 yet. There are many people in Lincoln County that knew Billy the Kid and believe that he escaped to Texas. Billy was a kid Billy's exact age is not known. It is thought that he was about 17, when Tunstall was murdered. If true, he was killed at the ripe old age of 21. Short violent lives were common in the Wild West, but at least two of Billy's gang lived into their late 80s or early 90s. The last died in 1947, after the first nuclear explosions in New Mexico ushered the world into the nuclear age. (History courtesy of Ruidoso Chamber of Commerce Web site)
