This grave is on private property that was owned by the then sheriff, 
Zack B. Brown. For years the local Chinese visited the grave of 
Lum You at this sight.  It seems that Oscar Bloom had robbed Lum You, 
so the latter found Mr. Bloom later that day and shot him dead.  
Lum You was found guilty of murder and was hanged in front of quite a 
large crowd.
