Answer:

The competition was not a welcome sight for Murphy, Dolan, and Riley. They immediately set about trying to rid the area of their rivals.

The legal maneuvers that the Murphy group tried first were not effective enough for them. They decided to have John Tunstall killed. Unfortunately for the people of Lincoln County, this action led to the bloody and devastating Lincoln County War. From this war rose the legend of Billy the Kid. He was a member of a group known as the “Regulators” who were initially tasked with gaining revenge for Tunstall’s death.

Many other stories and legends arose from this war. Lawrence Murphy, however, only had a hand in the war’s genesis. He succumbed to cancer in 1878 having left his mark on the history of New Mexico.Explanation:
