[PW] death of Warren Earp 1900 citation

[Shari Haber]

T.F.:

On page 102 it states:

"Warren was still a boy, though later he followed the family tradition. 
(He was dealing faro years later in an Arizona mining camp and was 
killed by one of the rough characters in camp. Some say the man that 
show him was Burt Alvord, an Indian trailer, deputy sheriff, and train 
robber, whom I knew in Arizona thirty years ago. Burt was one of the few 
outlaws who left Arizona alive. When last heard of, he was headed for 
the Argentine.)"
