George McKelvey (lawman)

George McKelvey was a lawman in Charleston, Cochise County, Arizona during the 1880s. He is known for arresting Johnny-Behind-the-Deuce (Michael O'Rourke) on January 14, 1881 after he killed Tombstone Mill and Mining Company’s chief engineer Phillip Schneider in apparent self-defense.
