At around 1:30–2:00&nbsp;p.m., after Tom had been [[pistol whip|pistol-whipped]] by Wyatt, Ike's 19-year-old younger brother Billy Clanton and Tom's older brother Frank McLaury arrived in town. They had heard from their neighbor, Ed "Old Man" Frink, that Ike had been stirring up trouble in town overnight, and they had ridden into town on horseback to back up their brothers. They arrived from Antelope Springs, {{convert|13|mi}} east of [[Tombstone, Arizona|Tombstone]], where they had been rounding up [[livestock|stock]] and had breakfasted with Ike and Tom the day before. Both Frank and Billy were armed with a revolver and a rifle, as was the custom for riders in the country outside Tombstone. [[Apache]] warriors had engaged the U.S. Army near Tombstone just three weeks before the O.K. Corral gunfight, so the need for weapons outside of town was well established and accepted.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://southwestbackcountry.wordpress.com/category/ghost-towns/page/2/ |title=Gunfight at the O.K.

Billy and Frank stopped first at the Grand Hotel on Allen Street, and were greeted by Doc Holliday. They learned immediately about their brothers' beatings by the Earps within the previous two hours. The incidents had generated a lot of talk in town. Angrily, Frank said he would not drink, and he and Billy left the saloon immediately to seek Tom. By law, both Frank and Billy should have left their firearms at the Grand Hotel. Instead, they remained fully armed.<ref name=lubet/>{{rp|49|date=November 2012}}<ref name=roberts/>{{rp|190|date=November 2012}}
