I thought that the town got its name from the last words a Buffalo soldier
said to his fleeing commanding officer when the soldier realized he'd been
led into an Indian ambush; just at the same time an arrow hit him in the
back. He yelled "You Ma......." and so the town was named by the commanding
officer out of respect for that soldier.
