On September 12, 1878, the bodies of Reuben Bristow and Fred Clark were found near here. They were believed to have been killed by Northern Cheyenne Indians led by Chief Dull Knife. Bristow and Clark were cowboys hauling salt for Comanche pool cattle when Dull Knife fled harsh conditions on the reservation near Canton. Probably killed for their mule team, the salt haulers inadvertently crossed the path of the Cheyenne during their desperate flight home to the Northern Plains.
