Who said this?

[Delmonico]

Can't think of his name right off, but wasn't it the editoe of the Epitaph.

[Capt. Hamp Cox]

I'm sure he said or printed something similar, but this particular quote is allegedly from a member of the fairer sex.
Maybe she was paraphrasing him?

[Delmonico]

Josephine, the third Mrs. Wyatt Earp.

Hope that was decaf - better watch that stomach .

Cap, with him drinkin' espressoooooooooooooooo, don't think he's too worried about his tummy. Del, the telegraph's repaired. I just wonder if Josie was repeatin' something she heard there. There was a lady correspondent in Tombstone from San Diego, I think, that was filing reports home during the Earp era there. Some of her stuff makes for interesting reading, and she wasn't posting receipes......Buck

To the Editor of the Globe:
     About the 26th of July there appeared in one of the St. Louis papers an account of an altercation between myself and one Tisinger, in East St. Louis, in which account there appeared several gross misrepresentations which I desire to contradict.
     1st It was alleged that I was murderer of fifteen men. In answer to this assertion I will say that it is entirely false, and that I sand ready at all times and places for an open inspection, and anyone who wishes to learn of my past record can make inquiries of any of the leading citizens of Wayne county, Tennessee, where I was born and raised, or of officers of the late rebellion, on either side. I served in the 9th Tennessee regiment, Co. F, and the last two years of the service was a scout for Ben McCulloch and Gen. Forrest. Since the war I have resided in Mexico, Texas, and Kansas, principally on the frontier, and I will refer to any of the tax payers and prominent men in either of the localities where I have resided. I have at all times tried to use my influence toward protecting the property holders and substantial men of the country from thieves, outlaws, and murderers, among whom I do not care to be classed.
     2nd, It was also charged that I endeavored to use a gun on the occasion of the St. Louis difficulty, which is untrue, and can be proven by either Col. Hunter, of St. Louis, or the clerk of Irwin, Allen & Co. It was also stated that I got the worst of the fight. In regard to this I also refer to Col. Hunter. I do not claim to be prize fighter, but as an evidence of the correct result of this fight. I will only say that I was somewhat hurt but did not squeal, as did my three opponents.
     My present residence is on the Washita in Hemphill county, Texas, where I am open for inspection and can be seen at any time.

Cap, She's quoted in the Tefertiller book on Wyatt. I'll have to go look her up again.................Buck

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Found her, Cap. Clara Spaulding Brown, married to Theodore Brown a mining engineer from San Diego. She was doing reports for The San Diego Union during the boom era there, started on a slant towards women's interests, but when the trouble started she switched over to comments on the situation. She's quoted quite a bit in Tefertiller's book..............Buck

And still pretty good advise (unless someone's got a timer stuck in your ear), wouldn't you say?  Something like "Take your time expeditiously".

I always try to keep my rate of fire somewhere in the same range as my rate of impact!!    You will note that the impact may or may not be on what I was amin' at!!
