discovered.
Congressman Joseph Dixon of Mon
tana, at his home in Missoula has
been presented with indisputable
proofs that the exprorer was married
to Nez Perez Indian woman while he
was making his way across the con-
tinent to the Pacific.
This evidence was brought to Con.
gresham Dixon by Mary Clark the
granddaughter of William Clark the
direct descendant of the explorer. So
convincing was the evidence that the
congressman was convinced of the
truth of the story.
Mary Clark Is the daughter of TIL
Kali Tzae who was born in the Lolo
valley about 1907. He called himself
"Me Clark" and had the sandy hair
of his father, the explorer. "Me Clark
son Of the explorer was killed in q
fight with the soldiers of Cen Miles
in the Bear Paw mountains on Snake
creek in the fall of 1877.
1t was between May and September
in 1905 that Captain Clark fell a vic
tim to the dusky wiles of his Indian
sweetheart. The Nez Perez Indians
treated the exploring party kindly and
a stop of some time was made among
them. while the party was preparing

the Indian girl and under the ope1
skies they were married The Indiar
bride accompanied the explorer to The
coast, learned to speak English anc
returned with him to her own countr,
where her son was born
There were probable vows ant
promises at the parting. Who knows
Anyhow, the white man went on ant
the Indian maiden remained with he
people and her child, "Me Clark" thu
