"Mike Bohan's Saloon stood on the flat near 'hangman's tree,' so-called because two horse thieves were said to have been hanged from it; just another legend.  Jim Mulholland of Moraga Valley would ride his horse into the saloon.  The horse would place his front feet upon the bar and Jim would order a beer for himself and one for his horse.  An obliging customer would hold the bottle so the horse could drink."
