 VIRGIL EARP PHOTO TOMBSTONE CITY MARSHAL OK CORRAL.Virgil Earp seated to very left wearing his Tombstone City Marshal Badge. While in Prescott, Arizona, Virgil was appointed Deputy U.S. Marshal for the eastern portion of Pima County on November 27, 1879 by U.S. Marshall Crawley Dake. He was asked by Dake to move to Tombstone to help resolve ongoing problems with lawless Cowboys. In an interview after he left Tombstone, Virgil noted that “The first stage that went out of Prescott toward Tombstone was robÂbed. Robberies were frequent and became expensive. Virgil joined his brothers Wyatt and Jim in Tombstone in December 1879. On October 30, 1880, after town marshal Fred White was shot and killed by outlaw and gunman Curly Bill, Virgil was also appointed acting town marshal of Tombstone. Virgil now held both the local town marshal position and a federal law enforcement. But less than two weeks later Ben Sippy beat Virgil for the town marshal job in a special election. When Tombstone was incorporated as a city on February 1, 1881, Virgil chose not to run against Sippy. However, Sippy was known to be in financial trouble. He requested a two-week leave of absence on June 6, 1881, and the city council once again appointed Virgil as temporary city marshal. On June 22, the center section of Tombstone was devastated by a fire. Virgil kept looting under control and chased off lot jumpers who tried to take over property. On June 28, it was learned that Sippy had left about $3,000 in bad debt and financial improprieties in his office. Virgil was appointed by Tombstone Mayor John Clum as the permanent city marshal and paid $150.00 per month. P.O.R
