From a Sycamore near this spot, L.V. Grime and C.B. Hawley were lynched on Aug. 24, 1882 for the hold up - murder of Andrew Hal, Wells Fargo Packer, and Dr. S.T. Vail. The culprits had a fair hearing before JP Allen on Wednesday eve, and at 2 AM Thursday on a clear night they were hanged. Saloons were closed and it was an orderly lynching.
