Somewhere to the north of the town, and in the centre of what was declared by some persons to be the old cattle trail, there was reputed to be visible a granite boulder, or perhaps it was a granite shaft, supposed to have been erected with money contributed by cattlemen at the request of Mrs.Daly, who kept the boarding-house on a back street.

Some one had seen this monument, and brought back word that it had cut upon its face a singular inscription, namely: JUAN THE LOCO, THE END OF THE TRAIL..
