TWO RARE SUBPOENAS FOR LINCOLN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, 1879 and 1881.

TWO RARE SUBPOENAS FOR LINCOLN COUNTY, NEW MEXICO, 1879 and 1881. Two fabulous Lincoln County, Territory of New Mexico.The 4-20-1879 dated subpoena #245 names two individuals by Sheriff George Kimball, one being L.H.Blazer. This is Dr. Louis H. Blazer owner of Blazer’s Mills, famous for the April 4, 1878 showdown between the “Regulators” and Murphy-Dolan-Riley gunman Andrew “Buckshot” Roberts. It’s been three days since six of the Regulators assassinated Sheriff William Brady and his deputy, George Hindman, in Lincoln’s only street. Ever since that time, they’ve been laying low, hiding in the mountains on the western side of the county. But today, they decide to venture out of hiding and get a decent meal at Mrs. Godfroy’s restaurant at the Mills. There they have a chance meeting with Roberts which turns bloody with a lengthy gun battle leaving Roberts dead along with regulator leader Dick Brewer and five others wounded. The 8-2-1881 dated subpoena #385 lists Pat Garrett as sheriff looking for five witnesses, at least two, Jose Baca and Issac Ellis, were involved in the 1878 Lincoln County range wars where Billy the Kid held a reign of terror. The “Ellis Store” was a headquarters for the “Regulators” and housed the McSween’s during the various stages of the range war. After Billy the Kid’s capture, he was held at the Ellis Store under house arrest and Issac Ellis paid $64 board by the Territory. The Ellis Store to this day is a bed & breakfast housing a private “Billy the Kid” museum. Two storied and displayable pieces of Lincoln County outlaw history you will never see again. CONDITION: Very good overall, good ink and discernible signatures. 4-47054, 47055 JS231 (4,000-6,000)
