Clum, 80, Returns to Tombstone, Arizona, and Recalls Old Fights—Tells of Warnings Sent Him in Blood. By the Associated Prsss. TOMBSTONE, Arts., March 12 John P. Clum. 80, who made his exit , from this town years ago in a hail of l lead, was back today looking around. “It seems mighty peaceful now,” he ■ remarked. i Tombstone was a bustling silver min ; Jng camp when he rode into it, fresh from taking 4,500 Apaches to the Ban i Carlos reservation and effecting the r first capture of the bloody renegade, i Chief Geronimo. Clum sought new ■ fields to conquer and Tombstone of > sered more than a promise. It used no i restraint either in cards or killings. Clum became the first mayor, inci dentally serving as postmaster, school director and editor of the Tombetone Epitaph, which he established. He had tamed the Apaches with home talent, so he chose Virgil Earp i from among the residents and made him chief of police. Wyatt Earp, Virgil’s brother, who had had experi ence on the side of the law at Dodge City. Kans., and other frontier points, ! came out as deputy United States mar -1 shal. It began to look like there would be trouble, and there was. "Yes, I ran away from Tombstone,” said Clum. “There were nine of us 1 who were not supposed to get out of f Tdtnbstone alive. We received warn ings. written in blood. We didn’t pay a lot of attention to them at first, but after a few months it became most un ■ bearable. "They were picking us off one by one. We could never put our hands deflntte | ly on those who were doing it. I de : cided to settle elsewhere. They opened 1 fire on me from both sides of the road. Three miles farther along the road a bullet tore through my coat and lead brought down my horse. I kept going without him.” Clum told about the now classic fight between Virgil, Wyatt and Morgan Earp, and “Doc” Holliday on one side and Ike and Billy Clanton. Frank and Tom McLowery and Billy Clalbourne on the other in the O. K. corral. When six guns and shotguns had ©eased firing Frank and Tom McLowery lay dead, Billy Clanton was mortally wounded, and Virgil and Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday had reotlved minor wounds.

It had b?en agreed we would turn out in time of trouble and report in front of the Epitaph. “There had been a lot of talk about the Justification of the fight. But the Earns were officers of the law and I could see no reason why an offleer should wait until he was fired upon two or three times before dpening up him self. “Wyatt Earp told me afterward he could have killed Ike Clanton. Ike, Wyatt said, drew back and motioned he was not in it. He called to Ike, ’get in this, Ike, or get out!’ and Ike got out.” Clum came here from Globe, where he went from Ills home in Los Angeles to search for four Apaches of his In dian police force, which he used to cap ture O'Tonimo. He was unable to find them, but plans to return and search the outlying country.
