He left that town in Kansas for life as a saloon keeper in Tombstone. But on October 26, 1881 - after 30 shots rang out in 30 seconds - Wyatt found himself on the other side of the law, charged with murder. Three men lay dead, including <a href="http://clantongang.com/oldwest/gangike.html" target="_blank"><b>Ike Clanton's</b></a> 19-year-old <a href="http://clantongang.com/oldwest/gangbill.html" target="_blank"><b>brother Billy</b></a>. Wyatt didn't have to "go anywhere on earth to make a fight." He just had to go to the O.K.
