II the company failed to view it in the
same manner, no action was taken against
Clarke to prove it."
Under the circumstances, 1t is not strange
that Clarke's family tried to exonerate him
from the charge of murder. Had he not
shot Mckenzie, quite likely he, himself,
would have been killed. The fact that Nc
Kenzie was drunk, rendered him none the
less dangerous. Clarke, in the language of
the day, was not taking any chances. There
are plenty OF instances recorded in the
history of the young West, of feuds like
that between Harvey and Clarke and their
friends, when 1t was the question of who
should shoot first and s~traightest. There
was one similar In Bannack( when Craw-
ford disabled Plummer's right arm, so
that he was compelled to train his left In
Workmanship. Crawford left the country,
knowing he stood no chance against the
strong organization Of the road agents.
Clark did not attempt to flee, and no one
ever attributed his willingness to go to st.
Louis after Mckenzie was slain, to any
such cause. He stayed. 1t was Harvey
who left the country. He had become too
notorious, and the mere fact that he acted
as a representative of the American Fur
company injured Its trade. The Indians
hated him, taking the first opportunity to
express their feelings when they left Fort
Mckenzie naught but a pile of ashes, where

Chittenden, Clarke struck him over the
head with q ~tomahawk, and Berger hit him
with q rifle. Harvey would have thrown
Clarke into the river but for a disabling
blow over the hand delivered by Lee
1t was in 1915 this occurred. Harvey
managed to escape and reach the fort,
where he closed the gates and refused TO
admit even Major Culbertson, who was
with the Clarke party, but had taken no
part In the fray until the former had plead
long and hard.
After this attack on him, Harvey left the
American Fur company, but not the FUR
trade; as he returned to the country and
became, for a time, a dangerous competitor
Northwest country and so was Clarke, and
during the nine years elapsing between
the attack on Harvey and the killing OF
Owen Mckenzie, the half blood, 1t is quite
certain no love was lost between the two
factions.
Neither Of these stories can be called

Plummer possessed more redeeming quail
