"The occasion was enlivened by the presence of a number of cowboys from the ranges who punctured the air with an enthusiastic fusillade of pistol shots in good old-fashioned manners," The Tombstone Epitaph reported.

"The six-shooter salute proved contagious and the firing of pistols was followed from all parts of town."
