There are several stories that go with this relic we discovered in the Kingman Museum. The most likely to me, because the Kingman, Arizona area was settled by miners, is that this Winchester 73 was placed in the notch of a tree with a trip wire as a silent guard for the miner's claim.
This version was even reported in Ripley's: Believe It or Not, and The Winchester Proof (December, 1955). I don't know about the man that owned it, but it seems to me that the Winchester 73 never gave up its vigil, huh?
