In December, 1903 A couple of outlaws named Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles made a daring escape from the Tombstone Courthouse Jail and broke into Jim Rock's Dry Goods store. A young boy "Percy Bowden" who slept on the premises was held hostage while the outlaws robbed the store. Then they fled down Freemont St. to John Escapule's ranch and stole horses to make their getaway.
John Escapule's great-grandson, Dustin "Dusty" Escapule served as Mayor of Tombstone and runs horse drawn stages through the town too tough to die.
Note* The photo you see here of John Escapule was often mistaken for Tombstone's "Doc Holliday".
