Stanley's great-grandfather, who was named Elya Yelnats, was robbed by Kate Barlow because he had fallen in love with her but failed to win her affection. After he sought help from a fortune teller to win her heart, he was ultimately rejected, leading him to leave town. In retaliation, Kate Barlow, who became an outlaw, took his family’s prized possession, a suitcase filled with money, as a way to settle the score, contributing to the family's long-standing curse.
