Acme saloon. This northwest corner of Mason Street and san Antonio Avenue is the site of the former Acme saloon. The original building was of adobe and wood on the night of august 19th 18 95 gun slinger john Wesley Harden was at the bar rolling dice for drinks. His last words were brown, you've got 46 is to be at that instant, john Selman elbow through the batwing doors and shot Harden in the head, killing him instantly. At Salmon's trial, witnesses testified if Harden was shot in the eye, it was excellent marksmanship. If he was shot in the back, it was excellent judgment. This part of downtown was the beginning of the parlor house district, which extended south along Eutaw Street. Today's Myself Street. The city fathers eventually cleaned up the district, which had its heyday from the early 18 eighties until the late 18 nineties. A historical marker john Wesley Harden is located here.
