Featured in this lot is this framed newspaper page from the Sacramento Daily Record Union, March 22nd, 1882, telling the people about the killing of Frank Stillwell. This newspaper page shows an article titled, "Assassination at Tucson—Man Found Full of Bullet Holes" telling the account of Frank Stillwell's final moments and what led up to the killing. It states that Stilwell's bullet-ridden body was discovered by a railroad worker early on March 21, 1882, at the Southern Pacific Railroad terminal, about 100 yards from Porter's Hotel. Stilwell was shot numerous times, with four rifle balls, two loads of buckshot in his legs, and more buckshot wounds near his breast, indicating that he was killed at close range. Stilwell had come to Tucson to appear before a Grand Jury regarding a stage robbery near Bisbee and had been released on bail. However, on the night of his death, a westbound train arrived with the body of Morgan Earp, who had been slain in Tombstone only days before. Traveling with the train were Wyatt Earp, Sherman McMasters, Doc Holliday, and Jack Johnson, all heavily armed. Stilwell, along with Ike Clanton, was at the depot, allegedly waiting to meet a man named McDowell, who was also due to testify before the Grand Jury. According to the article, as soon as the Earp party arrived, they ordered Clanton to leave right away, feeling he was in danger. Clanton fled, but Stilwell stayed and was subsequently spotted going down the lines. Soon after, four armed men were sighted following him, and his lifeless body was discovered pierced with gunshots. Witnesses reported seeing a skinny man with light-colored hair and a high hat near the scene, but they paid little attention at the time. The article also discusses speculation about Stilwell's intentions that night. Some felt he was attempting to flee the Earp party, while others suspected he intended to ambush them as they took Virgil Earp (who had been injured previously) out of Arizona. Authorities vowed to thoroughly investigate the matter, guaranteeing a fair trial if suspects were apprehended and warning that the guilty parties would face the consequences of the law. Stilwell's death is framed in the narrative as another chapter in the violent animosity between the Earps and the Cowboys, which would eventually become known as the Earp Vendetta Ride.
