Billy Claiborne
William Floyd 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.

As worked as a cowhand and remuda rider for John Slaughter and helped him drive cattle from Texas to the Arizona Territory in 1879.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jcs-group.com/oldwest/pistoleer/gunfighter06.html )〕 In Tombstone, he worked on the amalgamator at mines in Charleston, and as a slag cart driver at the Neptune Mining Company smelter in Hereford, Arizona.
Claiborne was a heavy drinker and hothead. He became friends with Ike and Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury. On October 1, 1881, Claiborne had a confrontation with James Hickey in the Queen’s Saloon in Charleston. Hickey had been drinking for three days when Hickey and Claiborne got into an argument. Claiborne drew his pistol and shot Hickey in the cheek below his left eye, killing him instantly. Hickey was not well-liked and Claiborne was found to have acted in self-defense. He was tried and released.〔
In 1881 William "Billy the Kid" Bonney was killed. After Bonney's death Claiborne demanded that others call him "Billy the Kid" causing him to kill one to three men who refused.〔
