BISBEE, Ariz. (AP) - The original court transcripts from the 1881 Coroner's Inquest into the Gunfight at the OK Corral can now be viewed online.

The 36-page hand-written account of witness testimony given after the shootout that left three men dead in Tombstone had been missing for years. Two Cochise County court clerks cleaning out a storage space at the Bisbee courthouse found the old documents in a box in March.

They were handed over the Arizona State Library, which digitized them and posted electronic copies on its Arizona Memory Project website.
