At first I thought the same thing but then after he mentioned it was also a gas station and people came through on horses at times, it probably became sort of a trading post type of store.
It did have a mailing label on the Life, maybe a townsperson traded it for something or just brought it in and left it. I imagine living that far out there that anything was of some value so they probably did not throw away much!
I think they collected all kinds of knick knacks like that it appears to me anyways.
Good catch though!
