On a moonlit night in September 1850, near this spot, Urban Stewart fired his gun at rustling he heard in the corn patch he had planted that spring. To his dismay, he had killed Chief Terikee of the Shoshone. The consequences were far reaching – Stewart fled for his life; the Shoshone retaliated, killing another man in his stead, and then vacated the area. It was another year before Martin Henderson Harris built his own cabin by Four Mile Creek in what would become Harrisville.
