In the aftermath of the OK Corral Shootout and the deaths of the McLaury Brothers and Billy Clanton, Ike Clanton and Will McLaury brought murder charges against the Earp Brothers and Doc Holliday. A preliminary hearing resulted in the dismissal of all charges. Although the trial took place in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, a number of key participants arrived in Tombstone via Iowa.
