Page "Leadville, Colorado" Paragraph 2

Around 1883, outlaw Doc Holliday moved to Leadville, shortly after the gun fight at the O. K.

Corral.

On August 19, 1884, Holliday shot ex-Leadville policeman, Billy Allen, after Allen threatened Holliday for failing to pay a $ 5 debt.

Despite overwhelming evidence implicating him, a jury found Holliday not guilty of the shooting or attempted murder.
