Historic Old Church
Old Church. The first church in Cimarron was built by the now famous Rev. F. J. Tolby. Rev. Tolby to came in the early seventies when Cimarron had the reputation of being one of the toughest towns west of Dodge City. A parson is never welcome by the tough 'uns but the Rev. Tolby conquered most of the pioneers with his courage and sacrifices for the needy ones. no hardship was too great for this hardy pioneer. One day, however, he chanced upon two cattle rustlers who were changing the Long H brand to their own private brand. Passing without a word of censure, he was followed, killed and his body was thronw into a creek which now bears his name. When Sheriff Rinhart did not immediately capture the murderers, Clay Allison, whose reputations stands even today as a fighter among the first organized friends to avenge the death. The centered on a man named Cruz Vega, who had been a constable and a substitute mail-carrier. Vega is said to have made a confession before they strung him up in which he implicated a man from Taos named Cardenas. Allison got a warrant, served it in Elizabethtown and returned Cardenas to Cimarron. After the hearing, as Cardenas was being escorted to jail, he was shot and killed from behind an adobe wall..
