Before he got through talking carp had

Nov get your boss an get tn hell out o
here That was long speech for carp.
Allison backed away with his hands in the
air, climbed his horse and headed back for
country where marshals weren't quiet and
tough.
4 CLOSE kinshp grew up in Dodge between
"A carp and Doc Holliday-one the two-gun
marshal fighting for law and order, and the other
one of the Vests worst killers. They were lot
alike in some ways. Both were the quiet easy
going sort. Neither ever missed a move when any
gun-play was coming up.
Holiday was about the strangest character
that ever Sproutcd up around the frontier towns.
He was born down South and had all the airs of
Southern gentleman, a tall thin-faced fellow
and a fancy dresser.
He started out TO be dentist That's how
he got the nickname Doc" He hung out his
shIngle in Dallas Texas but the tooth-pulling
business was poor Doc took up gambling.
He was cut out for that. He found he could
make lot more money with deck OF cards than
he could with pair of fOrccpS.
1t wasn't long before he killed man in
poker game. He headed for the Panhandle coun-
try. BY the time he met up with Wyatt carp
he'd put half dozen men under the sod.
He could shoot man as slick as he could
palm an ace
When he landed in Dodge he had woman
with him. Big Nose Kate was the only name |
ever heard her called She wasn't as bad-looking
as her name sounds bat she was tough enough
to be "A running mate for the toughest gambler
IN the West.
Big Nose Kate won her spurs with Holiday
night IN a gambling hall down III the Pan
handle. Doc was playing for high stakes with
another fellow who was pretty handy at rigging
a deck himself.
There a row Both went for their guns.
As usual Doc the last trick.
They arrested Holiday before he could get
out Of town. The crowd didn't like the play. 1t
began to look like there going to be neck
tie party.
The marshal had Doc under guard in the hotel.
The mob was Just about ready to bust in the
door when Big Nose Kate came running up the
street hollering: Fire Fire.
Sure enough there was one. Kate had started
it.
The crowd forgot about hanging Doc long
enough TO run and put out the fire.
The minute the mob left the hotel Kate popped
in She got close enough to Holiday to give him
a chance 20 jerk six-shooter from under her coat
Reach! Yuh tinhorns!" Holiday had the two
guards covered before they could move. Git

backed out the door few steps away were two
horses that Big Nose had waiting
BY the time the fire out and the boys got
back TO string up the gambler he and Kate were
miles away, splitting the wind toward Dodge City.
LOT of old-timers never could see why carp
"A took a liking to Doc Holiday. but | reckon it
mostly because Holiday saved the marshals
life one time in Dodge.
A bunch Of Texans that carp had buffaloed
earlier. cornered him night when they

in the doorway of Front Street gambling hall
Two dozen sIX-shooters were leveled on HIM

him I'll they got ready TO fill him full OF lead. 1t
was the chance they'd been waiting for.
Suddenly door flew open AT Earps bacE.
There stood Doc Holiday, a slX-shooter IN each
hand. He had been inside playing faro when the
rumpuS started

The Texans could have killed both of them but
