Friday, July 6, 1900. Warren Earp killed.

The Eight Nation Alliance was forced to retreat from Tianjin.


Warren Earp, youngest brother of the famous Wyatt Earp, was shot and killed at the Headquarters Saloon in Willcox, Arizona. Earp, who had a local reputation as a bully, was shot by Henry Hooker's range boss,  Johnny Boyett, with whom he did not get along. Boyett was apparently not that good of shot as the fatal shot was the fifth one fired at close range.  Earp was unarmed.
