Doc Holliday vs Mike Gordon
Hoodoo Brown’s court invents “excusable homicide”
Gambler draws a “pair of sixes” and is “froze out.”
By Bob Boze Bell
Based on the research of Gary L. Roberts
Doc Holliday was serious about his Las Vegas business ventures. He was building an annex to his saloon, which some believe was for a dental office. A shootout with a drunk would derail everything.

July 19, 1879
Mike Gordon has been on a multi-day binge-drunk when he comes into the Holliday Saloon on Centre Street, Las Vegas, New Mexico Territory, and demands that his “mistress” accompany him to another saloon on Railroad Street. She refuses because she is working, so he makes threats and leaves, allegedly swearing he will “kill someone, or be killed himself before morning.”

The Truth About Wild West Gunfights Shutterstock
By Joseph A. Williams/Jan. 22, 2021 11:53 am EDT
Shootouts in the Wild West are, in the popular imagination, full of stereotypes. Many movie-goers have seen Clint Eastwood as a lone drifter coming to mete out justice through the barrel of a gun or an all star team of gunslingers defending a village ravaged by bandits. The Wild West, and in particular its shootouts, are engraved into popular culture.

Where it differs is that these affairs of quick death were even more violent than imagined, and there was often little distinction between good guys and bad guys. Many of these gunfights involved brutal individuals who sometimes worked on the side of the law and sometimes did not. In most cases, drunkenness and gambling were involved. In some cases, the historical events reveal outstanding bravery, which see

Warren Zevon sang it best: “Send lawyers, guns and money,” he bellowed in his hit song of the same title. He might have thrown in “public affairs consultants and politicians” had he been referring to the Colorado railroad wars shaping up over the long-dormant Tennessee Pass Line.
The guns may not be necessary as Colorado Pacific Railroad takes on Colorado Midland Pacific in parallel bids to revamp the long-languishing line that bisects Eagle County, but the lawyers are already making bank, with a big Denver firm set to start billing both Avon and Eagle County.
