William Bonnie aka Billy the Kid more history?

Being interested in history of the South West focusing on TX, NM, and AZ, I was mildley surprised when reading "Trail Drives of Texas" (an old book, copy write 1935), one of the guest writers told a story of himself, Pat Garret and others, having Billy the Kid surrounded and, were forced to let him go!

The incident happened sometime before his final meeting with Sheriff/Marshal Garret.

Does anyone know of a reference to this?

    Part of the problem with the Old West is that stories can never be fully corroborated, so anything will fly
