We consider the OK Corral model formulated by Williams and McIlroy((11)) and later studied by Kingman.((7)) In this paper we refine some of Kingman' s results, by showing the connection between this model and Friedman s urn, and using Rubin s construction to decouple the urn. Also we obtain the exact expression for the probability of survival of exactly S gunmen given an initially fair configuration.
