The Earp Vendetta Ride was a deadly search by Deputy U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp, leading a federal posse, for outlaw Cowboys they believed had ambushed and maimed Virgil Earp and killed Morgan Earp. The Earp brothers had been attacked in retaliation for the deaths of three Cowboys in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. From March 20 to April 15, 1882, the federal posse searched southeast Cochise County, Arizona Territory for suspects in both Virgil's and Morgan's attacks. Several suspects had been freed by the court, owing in some cases to legal technicalities and in others to the strength of alibis provided by Cowboy confederates. Up to this point, Wyatt had relied on the legal system to bring the Cowboys to justice. Now he felt he had to take matters into his own hands.On March 20, two days after Morgan's murder, Wyatt, his brothers Warren and James, Doc Holliday, and two other deputies were escorting Virgil and his wife Allie to a California-bound train in Tucson. They learned that suspects Ike Clanton and Frank Stilwell were already waiting there. After Virgil, Allie, and James boarded the train, Wyatt spotted two men near the train that he thought were Clanton and Stilwell. He and several men chased Stilwell down and killed him. The other person got away. After Stilwell's body was found the next morning, the Tucson Justice of the Peace issued arrest warrants for the five men suspected of his murder. When the lawmen returned to Tombstone, Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan got a telegram notifying him of the Tucson warrants. He attempted to detain the five members of Earp's federal posse sought by the warrants, but they ignored him. Carrying arrest warrants for Curly Bill Brocius and others, they left Tombstone to find the Cowboys implicated in the attacks. * Behan formed a Cochise County sheriff's posse consisting of deputies Phineas Clanton, Johnny Ringo, and about twenty other Cowboys and Arizona ranchers. Based on the local warrants, they followed the Earp posse and set out to arrest the five men. The large sheriff's posse came close to but never engaged the much smaller Earp posse. The latter received help from local businessmen and ranchers, and at one point, published a letter in a Tombstone newspaper taunting Behan and his men. The federal posse ultimately killed four men. These deaths started with the shooting of Stilwell and ended with the killing of Brocius. On about April 15 the Earps and some of their associates rode out of Arizona Territory and headed for New Mexico Territory. |
