Editing Doc Holliday (section)

== Other known confrontations ==

Holliday was still practicing dentistry from his room in [[Fort Griffin, Texas]], and in [[Dodge City, Kansas]]. In an 1878 Dodge newspaper advertisement, he promised money back for less than complete customer satisfaction. However, this was the last known time that he worked as a dentist.<ref name=holliday2001/>{{rp|113}} He gained the nickname "Doc" during this period.<ref name=roberts2006/>{{rp|74}}

Holliday reportedly engaged in a gunfight with a bartender named Charles White. [[Miguel Antonio Otero (born 1859)|Miguel Otero]], who would later become governor of [[New Mexico Territory]], said he was present when Holliday walked into the saloon with a cocked revolver in his hand and challenged White to settle an outstanding argument. White was serving customers at the time and took cover behind a bar, then started shooting at Holliday with his revolver. During the fight, Holliday shot White in the scalp. However, there are no contemporaneous newspaper reports of the incident.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thetombstonenews.com/the-infamous-doc-holliday-p1201-84.htm |title=The Tombstone News |access-date=February 1, 2017 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903162643/http://thetombstonenews.com/the-infamous-doc-holliday-p1201-84.htm |archive-date=September 3, 2017 }}</ref><ref name=roberts2006/>{{rp|120}}

Bat Masterson reportedly said that Holliday was in [[Jacksboro, Texas]], and got into a gunfight with an unnamed soldier whom Holliday shot and killed. Historian Gary L. Roberts found a record for a Private Robert Smith who had been shot and killed by an "unknown assailant" on March 3, 1876, but Holliday was never linked to the death.<ref name=roberts2006/>{{rp|78–79}}
