James Clark of Fort Kent, while on a
fishing trip to Eagle Lake, was set upon
by four unknown men who evidently
were bent upon robbing him. The attack
was most vicious one, the assailants OF
Mr.. Clark using clubs and bottles and
frightfully beating him, cutting his face
terribly and otherwise injuring him.
Mr.. Clark was armed with a revolver
and when he saw that the men were in
tent upon numbering him, for they
threatened to kill him, he drew the pis'
tol and defended himself. One of the
quartette was shot in the shoulder and
another through the groin. The
wounds are thought to be fatal. Mr..
Clark at once went to Fort Kent and
gave himself up into the hands of the
officers. His story of the affair is given
full credit.
