November 1880 Expense Report Signed by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat F. Garrett

This is one of several very rare and historically significant documents signed by legendary western lawman Patrick F. Garrett featured in this auction. The document is dated "November 28th, 1880" and lists the expenses of "Pat F. Garrett for arresting & taking care off and committing Samuel Cook to the County Prison To Wit." The expenses include a $1 service fee, $30 for mileage, $86 for a guard, $15 for transportation, $8 for board, and $1 for committing to prison for a total of $141. The last section reads: "Thereby certify that the above is a true statement of the necessary expenses in arresting, careing [sic] for, and committing Samuel Cook to the County prison. [signed] Pat. F Garrett Sheriff Lincoln County." This would have been one of Garrett's first arrests after becoming Lincoln County Sheriff in 1880. The note below the document provides some context and explains that Samuel Cook was an outlaw busted for fraudulent selling of cattle or larceny along with Frank Wheeler. The document measures approximately 7 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches and is contained within a 24 by 20 wood frame. Be sure to see Lot 89 and Lot 90 for Garrett's presentation Colt Model 1877 and presentation Lincoln County Sheriff badge, as well as additional information on his life and career. Provenance: The Ruidoso River Museum Collection

ConditionVery good with distinct writing and minimal age related wear. The frame is good with some minor scrapes and dings and holes from mounting screws.
