I don’t know Warren Garrison. But, I do know that on Summit Road, going north out of Stein’s Ghost Town (Larry Links home), three truck loads of “the wrong people” spent a day trying to shoot me and my dogs. Also, I went to Larry’s home and met some of the Links last Friday (10 June 2011). They were some of the nicest people I have ever met. I gave the New Mexico state police copies of the criminal complaints against Larry’s neighbors about what happened in 2009. A note from James who confirms that some of Larry’s neighbors are “the wrong people” and may be suspects in Larry Links murder appear below.

Eochaidh,

talk, you’re in a bit of
trouble with the wrong
people. Go see Donna
immediately.

MEMORANDUM TO: Sheriff of Hidalgo County, New Mexico
FROM: Eochaidh MacDhalaigh OghaChruithne
Room 136, Holiday Motel
600 East Motel Boulevard
Lordsburg, New Mexico 88045-2211
DATE: Friday 16 January 2009
SUBJECT: A suspect in the Saturday 4 January 2009 threats
against me involving the man with a shot-gun who
ran toward where I had just been near Summit
Hills.
Dear Sheriff:
Yesterday evening just after 6:00 p.m. while I was telling Ms
Billy Johnston at Gemstones Plus, on East Eighth Street and Main
Street, about the new threats made against me the day before
(Wed., 1-14-09) in the same area that I had been threatened
(near Summit Hills), about two weeks before (Sat. 1-4-09), a
young man named James, who I had met before at Billy’s store
(Gemstones Plus), walked in and comfirmed virtually everything
that I had just told Billy about the new threats against me the
day before (Wed. 1-14-09) involving me being stalked by people
in pick-up trucks.
The only way that James could have had the same information
about the people who were stalking me the day before (Wed.,
1-14-09) that I had just shared with Billy, would be that he was
with the other people who were stalking me the day before (Wed.
1-14-09) or law enforcement is aware of the threats made against
me on Sat. 1-4-09 and this week Wed. 1-14-09 and shared that
information with James.
Yesterday evening at Billy’s store, James also stated that there
was a fire in the area where I was being stalked on Wed.
1-14-09. James changed his story during the conversation after
I told him and Billy that I had seen smoke in the area from
where I had just walked across the rail-road tracks on that day.
At first James said a meth lab caught fire the day before (Wed.
1-14-09) and the men who stalked me on Sat. 1-4-09, firing
shot-guns, threatening to shoot my dogs, and cut my throat, were
blaming me for the fire. When I described the area where I saw
smoke on Wed. 1-14-09 and said that I thought that some of the
people stalking probably set up camp and may have been waiting
to try to find me the next day, James changed his story to a
meth lab in another place burning down on that day
(Wed 1-14-09).
During the conversation yesterday evening (Thur. 1-15-09) at
Billy’s store James also said that two men had been in town that
day who wanted to ask me some questions. At first he said they
were associated with the the men who threatened me on Sat.
1-4-19 and who he said are involved in the meth-amphetamine
trade in the Summit Hills area.
He said that they stopped by Paisano Real Estate earlier
yesterday (Thur. 1-15-09) and talked to Donna Tankersley (Kerr).
Then he changed his story to they were private detetectives from
Silver City who he had hired to check out my story about the
threats made against me on Sat. 1-4-09. He said that one of the
private detectives was licensed and one was not, but was working
for the licensed private investigator. James had said earlier
in the conversation that the Grant County Sheriff’s Department
had hired two private detectives who were not the same two men
as the two men who had talked to Donna.
A few days before, I had mentioned to either Billy or Donna that
I had seen two people sitting in a car about a block away toward
Fourth Street East and Animas Street on Sunday 1-14-09 when I
came out of the Baptist Church (that is located at Third Street
East and Animas Street), after the service.
Last week or the week before, when I was at Billy’s store, while
James was present and I was relating the threats made against me
on Sat. 1-4-09, I mentioned that he was wearing the same type of
hat that the two men in the dark blue pick-up truck had been
wearing on Sat. 1-14-09 when one of them carrying a shot-gun ran
towards where I had just been in the low area. James also has
the same build as the two men with the shot-guns and the dark
blue pick-up truck. Furthermore, during a previous conversation
he said that he’s had U.S. Army Ranger training, he’s a
certified expert marksman with a rifle and pistol, and that he’s
also a sniper. Yesterday evening (Thur. 1-15-09) during our
conversation that included Billy, at her store, after I gave him
a summary of me being stalked the day before (Wed. 1-14-09) he
said that he’ll go out to Summit Hills with a “gillie suit.”
I was too far away from the men with shot-guns to ever be able to
identify them and believe that James probably receives his
information second hand. But, considering the events, he is
intimidating and dangerous.
What I know is that James has information that only the people
who threatened and stalked me on Sat. 1-4-09 and Wed. 1-14-09
had. Members of law enforcement are the only other people who
would be aware of what happened. Because I have always
cooperated with the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Department, I’m
convinced that it would not be using James to try to intimidate
me. That leaves the New Mexico State Police if James is not
associated with the people around Summit Hills who he said are
involved in the illegal Meth’ trade. No matter what, I request
that the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Department do what they can to
stop the intimidation, especially in Lordsburg where I live.
An old cowboy named Casey, was present at Billy’s store near the
end of the conversation involving Billy, James, and me and can
confirm some the conversation.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Eochaidh MacDhalaigh OghaChruithne
I met him the summer before I started fourth grade at Steins when my dad took me on a trip there. My favorite vacation we ever took. I still remember him to this day and how nice and sweet he was. He told me my favorite joke ever. “What do you call a woman with one leg shorter than the other? Answer: Eileen.” it still makes me laugh. I was saddened when I heard the news and will miss him greatly. And Warren, when I went there he talked very nice about the man before him and said he was happy he took such great care of it and loved how you actually lived there. Sounds like you just had serious regrets about selling it and wanted to take it out on a poor undeserving and sweet man.
Warren,I don’t know if you’re a good man,or not.But after that first post,you can rest assured that your 10 seconds of fame has just bought you a visit from the New Mexico State Police.What in the hell made you want to spout that vitriol-laden essay of “Me ‘n Larry”? I don’t know your age,but haven’t you learned the lesson of,”keep your eyes ‘n ears open,and your mouth shut”? Better yet,here’s a prayer that my gran’ma taught me more than 65 years ago.It goes:”Dear Lord.Please keep your hand on my shoulder,an’ the other one over my mouth.”Well,you paid the fiddler,now you’re going to have to dance.To Matthew:My sincere condolences to your family on its loss.No matter what one person might think of him,your uncle didn’t deserve to be ambushed like a coyote.
It is wonderful that I’ve read in several places that Larry was well liked BY ALL and well loved as UNCLE LARRY, I wish I felt the same way about this individual, but I don’t. I sold Larry the town known as Steins, and properly pronounced “STEENS” because it was a Major Enoch Steens from which the name came and of course someone along the way figured that someone else had mispelled it and figured it should be Steins. I had several people who wanted Steins and I have to believe I would have been much happier had I sold it to anyone other than Larry, but hidesight as they say is 20 20. Whereas the other were pushing me to stay on for 3, maybe even 6 months to teach them all I knew about the town and it’s history, the very night I handed Larry the keys he wanted me out of there. As time went on I saw why and that is because he did everything he could to wipe my name from history and HE took the credit for my labor of 13 years and basically saving the town. A Local business man wanted it so bad and had planned to bulldoze everything away and put in an over night park, but I prevented that. After I moved away and cowboyed for well over a year I missed Steins so bad, check around and found there were 2 acres on the East side and made a deal with Bowlin’s Running Indian co. I went into the country store that night, Larry was sitting in a chair by the stove and reared back, Linda behind the counter. We had already had some serious problems, all that Larry had initiated but I said, “I’m coming back and I hope we can be good neighbors, I’ll do what I can to help you if you ask”. Then I said, “someone said you’d probably shoot me if I came back” and Larry’s response was, “just once, I’m a good shot”. I left rather disappointed at his attitude and the next morning began trying to figure out just where I would start my restoring for my part. He came out, walked up to me and said, “if you think I’m going to let you capitolize from my work (and he had done NOTHING to this point) then you’re crazy and I’ll do whatever I have to to stop you”. And he did just that. He lied, he called 911 everytime I sneezed, he made up false accusations, he made my life miserable. Finall we ended up in court and I knew that if I did not leave that I would be the one to shoot this individual and as bad as I hated him, I really didn’t want to go to prison at that time so I sold that portion to him and he won, OR DID HE??? My comment when hearing he had been shot yesterday was, “what took so long?”
I’m sure the New Mexico state police will be paying you a visit real soon. you clearly had motive as expressed here and this post as well as others have been forwarded to the New Mexico state police.
Good move Matthew. It seems that Garrison had an axe to grind.

Matthew,
We extend our sincerest condolences to you and your family. The Federal Observer remains committed to raising awareness to the American public, so that tragedies of this type can never happen to another farmer or rancher. Enough is enough.
Be blessed and thank you for visiting our pages.
Another posting that won’t be filled with the venom and anger I have expressed towards Larry Link would be that, those who think it’s ok for Illegals to just trot on in, settled down and begin sharing at the table Americans have set just isn’t fair. While I was at Steins 1976-1988 I fed dozens of them because I have a good heart and felt bad that a human being was there in the desert with no food or water. But people who encourage this or think it’s ok, surely they have a fence around their yard, locks on their doors, security systems in their home. What would they do if they came home and the fence was cut, the security system jammed and the locks broken and 25 people making themselves at home? Then you call the police and they tell you, “sorry, but they’re in, we can’t tell them to leave and further more YOU have to care for them as long as they are here”. Hardly a day goes by that a safe house isn’t found in Tucson with 25 or more illegals along with 40 bales of Marijuana all ready to disperse into society. For the illegals, no money, no work, no home, again they’re humans and so they’re going to do whatever is necessary to stay alive, home invasions, theft, drugs, prostitution. What is wrong with people who do not realize this??
Larry Link was my great uncle, he was a very loving and funny person with a heart of gold. He did not deserve to die this way and I hope his murderer will be brought to justice. My fondest memories of my uncle was visiting him on his ranch in steins which at the time was a ghost town. I hadn’t seen him since I was a child and he didn’t recognize me right away. My girlfriend and I took the tour and dropped a few hints to him about my identity. It wasn’t til we where talking in the gift shop when aunt Linda walked in and over heard our conversasion and realized who I was. We all shared a good laugh about the time as a child I got my head stuck in the stairway railing at his house in Mesa Az. He was loved and will truly be missed.
