The two men agreed to let a game of cards decide who was to move. According to the tale, Clark said, "If you can show low, you win. " Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs (the lowest possible card) and replied, "Show low it is. " The stakes were a 100,000 acre (400 km²) ranch. Show Low's main street is named "Deuce of Clubs" in remembrance. In 2002, a large forest fire, the Rodeo-Chediski fire, threatened the city and forced an evacuation.
