auction.

associated equipment. Accompanied by a framed letter on Baker Gulch
Mining Co., Las Vegas, Nevada stationary dated Oct 20, 1908. Statement
of Donation: "When I rented my office above the apothecary on the Plaza,
I removed a dental chair to make room for my own furnishings.I later
noticed the name John Holliday on this chair. .........I now have
learned that this is the same John Holliday, the famous shootist of a
few years prior....I have also been informed that this was the last
location that he practiced dentistry. I give this chair to the city free
