Malcolm Clark S. Daughter
Was Treasure State Heroine

Adding another portrait to his gal.
lery OF Montana heroines, Del Lesson
Of the Helena Independent has aptly
chosen Helen P. Clark, daughter Of
Malcolm Clark. for spot of honor In
his columned Hall OF Fame Here Is
Lessons tribute TO this daughter Of
two races whose life exemplified the
! finest characteristics of each:
! She lived her life against a back
drop Of Indian tragedy. She saw those
of a race whose blood flowed in her
veins murder her father and attempt
10 murder her brother just as they
might have murdered her had they
been given an opportunity Because
there was Indian blood In her, she
Ielt she could never marry She felt,
incorrectly, that she was inferior and
yet she devoted a portion of her life
to working with those who had tangled
her life so thoroughly. When she died
she left Montana SorrOwing for q brill
liant educator, a gallant woman,
kindly soul. Her name was Helen P.
Clark. one of Helena's early teachers
and superintendent Of schools for sew
eral years beginning In 1882
Her father was Malcolm Clark, West
Pointer, fur trader. destined to marry
the daughter of Piegan royalty and to
assume an important place in the
councils of the white men and TO die
at the hands of the Blackfeet just
outside his home on a little knoll which
overlooks what today Is the Sieben
ranch Helen herself was born at the
mouth of the Judith river, Oct. IL,
1848 Her mother was a Piegan pTiIl-
cess. Her father, as the fur trade days
came to an end, established a ranch
on the Prickly Pear and became a
member of the first board OF county
commissioners in Edgerton county
That was in 1854.
When Terror Struck
Then came the fatal evening Of Aug.
IL, 1869, when the Indian terror struck
the little ranch home. For two years
there had been difficulty between the
Blackfeet and some of the settlers over
thefts of horses and, while Malcolm
Clark attempted to act as peacemaker, |
the Blackfeet became bolder and bold |
err Indian depredations were becoming |
more and more common in the Helena I.
area. One evening band of Blackfeet /
came to the Clark home, entered and (
we're made welcome. One Of them even /
smoked the pipe of peace with NAL |
oolm Clark-a Judas pipe for Helen,

sat and smoked the Indian carried a
gun under his blanket and she knew
there was trouble ahead. Later in the
evening one Of the Indians led her
brother from the house on some pre-
text and ambushed him, shooting him
through the face but failing to kill
him.
Then the Indian who had smoked
/ the pipe asked Mr. Clark to come out
side with him-and shot him through
the heart so that the body fell almost
on the hosts very doorstep. Helen
/ and her mother barricaded themselves
/ inside the bedroom Of the house as best
they could and spent a terror stricken
night waiting death to overtake them
too. But the Indians, although ran

did not modest Helen and her mother.
Helen Carried On
Enough tragedy there was that night
to break down the nature of any per-
son. But it did not break Helen Clark S.
She picked up the loose ends and
worked out her own future as best she
could. For 20 years she lived in the
Wilbur FISke Sanders household in
Helena, slowly carving for herself a
reputation as one Of the most tntelli-
gent teachers IN the Helena schools.
In 1882 she ran for county superin-
tendent on the republican ticket and
was elected. She was reelected again
in 1884 and March 26, 1891, was COM
missioned an allotment agent on the
Ponca, Okla. Indian reservation where
she spent several years filling diff
cult job with exceptional ability.
But, somehow, as you study her life,
you feel her poignant tragedy was her
Indian blood A strikingly beautiful
girl. her character was unimpeachable
her aspirations high More than once
the light of romance might have en-
tered her life but she refused TO allow
1t, feeling always that her Indian an
cestry was a bar which could not and
should not be lowered. She went her
way alone-the hard way but perhaps
the best way. She died March z. 1923,
on the land Of those who so many
years before had brought stark tragedy
into her life-the Blackfeet.
Montana remembers her as an edu-
Gator and to her Helena can be in
debted always for the excellence OF
her first early schools. But let us re-
member her today as the perfect ex-
ample of one who, through courage !
and sacrifice and deep understanding |
was able to conquer one of mans great |
sins-reSentmen
