A Brown's Park pioneer, Henry Hoy was the prosecuting witness who brought arson charges against Angus McDougal, Isom Dart, and Jack Fitch, while Adea Hoy charged McDougal and Dart with altering brands on three of his horses. Among witnesses subpoenaed for the defense were Elizabeth Bassett, Sam Bassett, Jr., and Thomas Davenport. Angus McDougal was convicted on both counts and was sentenced on October 8, 1890 to serve five years in the Colorado State Penitentiary. Isom Dart escaped from the Hahn's Peak jail and was never brought to trial, and the indictment
against Fitch was quashed. Harry died after years of ill health from hardships suffered while prospecting for gold in the Alaskan Klondike. His health problems were compounded by a month long fast that hastened his decline.
