The readers can see that Wyatt Earp had a powerful influence over Doc Holliday, and in the three trips that Mrs. Holliday made to Tombstone, she could not induce him to break away from Wyatt Earp. The last time she was there she left for Globe a few days after the trial started on that O.K. Corral killing. That scrap was an incident in the life of Doc Holliday that he regretted up to his death.
  After Holliday reached Glenwood Springs, Colorado he wired Mrs. Holliday to join him which she did. They made up and she was with him to the time of his death.
  The writer after that lost track of her. I did receive information that he went back to her home town in the state of Illinois. No doubt she has also crossed the great divide.
  I wonder what she would say if she were living after reading "Wyatt Earp Frontier Marshal" which mentions her as "Big Nosed Kate." Mrs. Holliday ran a hotel in Globe, Arizona, but the first fire in Globe burned the hotel down and she lost everything she had. Several merchants there offered to go on her security at the Globe bank so she could rebuild, but she was afraid to take the chance. The merchants names were, Bailey, Henderson, Westmeyer, and the Sutton Brothers.
  Up to the time that Mr. and Mrs. Holliday located in Las Vegas, New Mexico, Doc Holliday had a good reputation and his conduct was always that of a gentleman. The stormy part of his life commenced when he desided to join Wyatt Earp the third time they ever met as Las Vegas.
  Wyatt Earp had a deep seated grudge against Mrs. Holliday and did his best to separate them. The second time Mrs. Holliday went to Tombstone, one day when Doc Holliday was sitting in a game of draw, Wyatt Earp got "Napa Nick" to hire a horse and buggy to take her out for a drive. He drove up in a handsome rig, came in as though we were well acquainted and said, "I came to take you for a little ride". She said that he would have to wait a long time before you take me out for a ride."
  I will conclude this, my last article **ILLEGIBLE** 'Frontier Marshal' by quoting from one of Mrs. Holliday's letters in which she said, "Did you or anybody know that Wyatt Earp always had all manners of disguise, false mustaches, beards and wigs of different shades. And when they left Las Vegas, New Mexico for Arizona, the party consisted of Wyatt Earp and Mattie, his wife, his brother Jim and his step-daughter. Doc and I traveled with Wyatt in the same wagon. At one time we camped several days. Wyatt opened his trunk before his wife, Doc and me and showed us the false mustaches, beards and wigs and he asked me if I knew what they were. I said yes, I think I do. It was on this trip that Doc and Wyatt became such great friends."
