1850–1940Horony set fire to a shed, distracted a mob, and helped Holliday escape, after he claimed self‑defence and was detained in a hotel room.
Particulars
Holliday maintained he acted in self‑defence and was arrested, then incarcerated in a local hotel room because the town had no jail.
Horony aided Holliday by setting fire to an old shed to distract the mob, confronted the deputy guarding Holliday with a gun, and she and Holliday escaped, rode stolen horses to Dodge City, Kansas, and registered at Deacon Cox's Boarding House as Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Holliday.
