Billy Claiborne (October 21, 1860 – November 14, 1882), was an
American outlaw Cowboy, drover, miner, and
gunfighter in the
American Old West. He killed James Hickey in a confrontation in a saloon, but it was ruled self-defense. He was present at the beginning of the
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but was unarmed and ran from the shoot out. Only a year later, while drunk, he confronted gunfighter
"Buckskin" Frank Leslie and was killed.
