One night in 1866, five men from Richland Springs, about 25 miles northeast, recovered stolen horses from Indians camped near here. During the fight, a metal arrow hit Mr. Lafferty and slid halfway around his skull; it was cut out with a pocket knife, and he survived. The grave of an Indian casualty is about 300 yards north.
