September 16, 1874- Mother of Billy the Kid died after a short illness. Billy was then about fifteen and did not get along with his stepfather, William Antrim, who thought the boy was a troublemaker as he had been in some minor scrapes in Silver City where he went to school and did odd jobs. He and another youth, George "Sombrero Jack" Shaffer, stole some clothes from a Chinese laundry, mostly as a prank, and were arrested. Billy, rather than face the wrath of his stern stepfather, left town, drifting about Arizona Territory, performing odd jobs on ranches and in small towns.
