Greathouse Station And Tavern: In late November, 1880, William "Billy the Kid" Bonney, David Rudabaugh, and another companion were hiding near here in a station 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.  Bonney and his companions escaped unharmed.
