Milt Joyce
Milt Joyce was the chairman
of the county board of supervisors. He also leased the bar and restaurant
concessions at the Oriental Saloon, while Wyatt and his partners had the
gambling concession. Joyce became one of the leaders of the anti-Earp faction
and a strong supporter of the outlaws. At one point he got into an argument
with Doc and Doc shot him through the hand. Joyce's partner was also wounded
in the conflagration. Both Joyce and Sheriff Behan were later found to
be involved in government corruption.
