Special to the Daily Sketch
While he never did anything to entitle him to a statue in the Hall of Fame, Doc Holliday was nevertheless a most picturesque character on the western frontier in those days when the pistol, rather than law courts, determined issues.
Holliday was a product of the state of Georgia and a scion of a most respectable and prominent family. He graduated as a dentist from one of the medical colleges in his native state before leaving, but did not pursue his profession for very long after receiving his diploma.
It was perhaps too respectable a calling for him.
Holliday had a mean disposition and an ungovernable temper, and under the influence of liquor, was a most dangerous man.
In this respect he was very much like the big Missourian who had put in the day at a cross-road groggery, and after getting pretty well filled up with the bug juice of the Moonshine brand, concluded that it was about time for him to say something that would make an impression on his hearers; so he straightened up, threw out his chest and declared in a loud tone of voice, that he was “a bad man when he was drinking, and managed to keep pretty full all the time.”
So it was with Holliday.
Physically, Doc Holliday was a weakling who could not have whipped a healthy 15-year-old boy in a go-as-you-please fist fight, and no one knew this better than himself. The knowledge of this fact was perhaps why he was so ready to resort to a weapon of some kind whenever he got himself into difficulty.
He was hot-headed and impetuous and very much given to both drinking and quarreling, and, among men who did not fear him, was very much disliked.
A man studying for a master's degree in biblical studies is accused of stabbing two teens with a fork on an airliner bound for Germany, federal prosectors said.

School meals will be available in Colorado even if the White House follows through with threats to halt the federal food stamp program, Lieutenant Governor Dianne Primavera said Tuesday.

"Universal school meals are one of our most important resources for families, and we are committed to making sure every child has access to nutritious food,” Primavera said during a visit to Arapahoe Ridge Elementary School.
The number of Aurora police chases rose after the department loosened its auto pursuit policy with about one in five chases resulting in injuries, the Denver Post reports, citing a data analysis.

Police killed a gunman in a hail of bullets at a Denver convenience store Monday night and freed two wounded hostages, Chief Ron Thomas said. A police officer was also wounded and underwent surgery.
"There were five or six officers that responded," the chief said. "A number of them did engage in gunfire with the suspect."
The store - part of the Maverick chain - is located in the 3200-block of South Parker Road. A witness, believed to be a security guard, called 911 for help.
The gunman, armed with a semi-automatic handgun, was pronounced dead at a hospital. The hostages were believed to be store employees.
Aurora police officers also responded to the call.
Reports say the El Paso County Sheriff's Office investigated a slaying Monday in a field near Woodlake Trailhead.
