Reynolds gang was spotted camping in a small clearing in the forest. A gunfight
ensued, killing one outlaw by the name of Owen Singleterry. One of the posse
members, a Dr. Cooper, cut off Singleterry’s head, took it back to Fairplay and
preserved it in alcohol, where it remained on display for many years. ..."

Text From Source: Two of the men were getting dinner, and the others were
gathered around Capt. Reynolds, who was busily dividing the remaining money and
gold dust among them, when suddenly a dozen guns cracked from behind some large
rocks about 220 yards from the outlaws' camp. Owen Singletary fell dead, and
Capt. Reynolds, who was at that moment dipping gold dust from a can with a
spoon, was wounded in the arm. The outlaws at once broke for the brush, a few
even leaving their horses.
The attacking party, which consisted of twelve or fifteen men from Gold Run
under the leadership of Jack Sparks, had crawled around the mountain unobserved
until they reached the rocks, and then fired a volley into the i obbcn* band.
When the robbers took to the brush, they wont down to their camp and secured
several horses, the can of gold dust, the amalgam that was taken from the coach
at McLaughlin's, Billy McClellan's watch, and a lot of arms, etc. It was coming
on night, and after searching the gulches for a while in vain. Ihey cut off
Singletary's head, which they took to Fairplay as a trophy of the fight. This
was July 31, 1864.
