Reflections from the Past George Whitwell Parsons Diary Entry January 17, 1882


Snow Yesterday. Light fall. Much blood in the air this afternoon. Ringo and Doc Holliday came nearly having it with pistols and Ben Maynard and Rickabaugh later tried to kick each other's lungs out. Bad time expected with the cowboy leader and D H. I passed both not knowing blood was up. One with hand on breast pocket and the other probably ready. Earps just beyond. Crowded streets and looked like another battle. Police vigilant for once and both disarmed. Brigham in from Arispe today. Reports great things.
