Nearly nine decades ago, Louis "Gas" Derler, owner of "Gas' Place" in Trevor, and his bartender, Ed Dennesty, were shot and killed in what was believed to be a gangland murder.
While Gas and Ed are gone, the tavern still stands, as does the mystery surrounding the killings.
Earlier this summer, the "91.1 Players" broadcast live a creative adaption of the story, straight from the tavern, now known as the Towne Square Bar. The place is run by Louis' grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Louis Derler, by the way, picked up the nickname "Gas" because of his habit of buying a new car each year.
