In late November, 1880, William “Billy the Kid” Bonney, David Rudabaugh, and William Wilson were hiding out near here at a store and tavern operated by James Greathouse and a partner named Kuch. On the night of November 27, they were surrounded by a posse. Deputy James Carlyle was accidentally killed when he attempted to negotiate the outlaws’ surrender, and Bonney and his companions escaped unharmed.
