Wyatt's Rules of the Street

Front Street, Dodge City - Wyatt Earp's territory.  His rules: No firearms allowed with the city limits.  If you wanted to argue the point with Mr. Earp, he like nothing better than to lay his long barrel Buntline Special alongside your head and make an example of you.

On one such occasion, with the help of Bat Masterson, Earp called the bluff on one Clay Allison, a well-known psychopathic killer in Dodge City and ran him and his murderous mind clean out of Dodge City for good.  In fact, legend has it he was running as fast as a man can run without looking back.  Good idea!


Editor - Google Robert Clay Allison and read about his notorious life as one of the major gunfighters on the Old West.  He was quite an interesting character.

Next time  The Honorable Roy Bean
