5/11/1894: Gus Meeks, his wife, and two children are killed by William and George Taylor (who are
suspected of cattle stealing). William Taylor was hanged; George escaped and was not recaptured.

          'Twas in the lovely springtime in the lovely month of May
          When Meeks, his wife, and children were induce to go away
          They were leaving, little dreaming when they took their midnight flight
          They'd be murdered e'er the morning in the darkness of the night
