Accused Of Stagecoach Robbing
Three cowboys ambushed a stagecoach on the way to Tombstone in March 1881. Rumors said that an outlaw called Doc Holliday led this robbery. At one point, Horony snitched on him that it was him who was responsible for this. Holliday got arrested and then convicted of assault. Luckily, the Earps got witnesses to prove his innocence. Horony later said that Sheriff Behan made her confess and sign a document she could not understand. It led to more tension among Earp, Holliday, and Earp.

Ike Clanton
Holliday had been enjoying drinks at the Alhambra Saloon on October 25, 1881. He then got into an argument with another outlaw, Ike Clanton. He challenged the latter to a duel and discovered that Clanton had no weapons on him. Holliday, however, taunted him further by saying he did away with Clanton’s dad. The following morning, Clanton armed himself and looked for Holliday. He woke up the dentist and Mary Horony, his common-law wife, with threats. Holliday allegedly said, “If God will let me live to get my clothes on, he will see me.”
