The shootout was on the square between Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt over a pocket watch lost in a poker game. There is a marker showing where Wild Bill stood and it has a diagram of the shootout.
As far as I know it's the only historical case of a movie-style stand-and-draw type duel, it's fairly famous.

Tutt is buried in Maple Park Cemetery, I think. Corner of Campbell and Grand. The history museum does have an exhibit on it.

That is correct, he is buried there and there's a marker.
