It used no restraint either in cards or killings. Clum became the first mayor, inci- dentally serving as postmaster, school director and of the Tombstone Epitaph, which he established. He had tamed the Apaches th home talent, so he chose Virgil from among the residents and m'de him chief of police. Wystt Earp, Virgil's brother, who had had experi- ence on the side of the law at Dodge City, Kans., and other frontier points, came out as deputy United States mar- shal. It began to look like there would be trouble, and there was. “Yes, 1 ran away from Tombstone,” said Clum. “There were nine of us who were not supposed to get out of Tombstone alive. We received warn- ings, written in blood. We didn’t pay - |a lot of attention to them at first, but after a few months it became most un- bearable. “They were Dicking us off one by ohe. We could never put our hands definite- y on those who were doing it. I de- cided to settle elsewhere, Thuy opened fire on me from both sides of the road. Three miles farther along the road a bullet tore through my coat and lead brought down my horse. I kept going without him.” Clum told about the now elassic fight between Virgll, Wyatt and Morgan Earp, and “Doc” Holliday on one side and Ike and Billy Ohnwn, Frank and ‘Tom Mcmwerlhlnd nmy ’ | the other in Hfllld!] hia, Pa.
