Loathing All Things Georgia
On Oct. 25, 1881, Ike Clanton and Tom McLaury arrived in Tombstone. The following day, they were arrested by Virgil Earp for carrying firearms within the city limits. After being disarmed and released they immediately sought Bill Clanton and Frank McLaury, and gathered on Fremont Street between Fly?s lodging house and a photographic studio, near a place called the O.K. Corral.
Virgil Earp decided he would disarm Bill Clanton and Frank McLaury as well, and called his brothers Wyatt and Morgan, and friend Doc Holliday, to help him with the task.
Upon hearing the news, Sheriff Behan raced to Fremont Street and begged Bill Clanton and Frank McLaury to give up their guns rather than face a gunfight with the Earps and their posse. As they converged, Behan pleaded with Virgil Earp not to get involved in a fight...
The Earps did not take his advice.
