A barn loft hideout yielded a sack of loot from Essig's Hardware store burglary later returned for ten dollars. The 1901 schoolhouse was a two story stone building with a bell tower.

In the Old Early Days School Grounds and Teachers
The account recalls the Early Days basement kindergarten on a block now hosting the City Building. It describes fencing to keep cows out, two small outbuildings labeled Boys and Girls, a water bucket and shared dipper, and four classrooms across grades. It recalls teachers Adeline Allen and Frances Knox, discipline with a rawhide cane, memorable principals L. B. Carey and C. C. Danforth, and later Pate who led to Alliance and Peru Normal.

Naturalists Ralph and Florence Welles suggest the famous bighorn ram batting matches are ritual displays rather than fights for mates. The behaviour seems tied to mating season but does not involve the receptive ewes. Mrs. Cynthia Booth runs the Tigoni Primate Research Center, a monkey- study lab on a farm near Nairobi, Kenya.
