Regarding this quotation from the text: "A native named Wallapai Clark also said he shot the Kid while he was trying to steal his horse from a corral and in 1899." E. A. "Wallapai" (also "Walapai" and "Hualapai") Clark was a moderately prominent figure in early Arizona. As far as I can tell, he was a white man who spent a lot of time among the Indians and worked with the Indian Scouts, but was not a native himself (althogh I admit this is not entirely clear). Also, according to a brief news report I once found while doing research for work, the supposed confrontation between him and the Apache Kid occurred at a ranch in the Galiuro Mountains, where Clark (who was prospecting in the Bunker Hill Mining District, which he himself helped create) claims he was attacked in the night. He claimed he crept up on and engaged two Apaches, killing one and wounding the other. Supposedly, the dead Apache was identified the next day as the Apache Kid's "squaw" (wife, I suppose, in this context) and the other, who escaped, was assumed to be the Apache Kid himself. I seem to have lost the article--I have two others, one from the St Paul Globe and the other from the Omaha Daily Bee--but they offer much less detail. TCSaint (talk) 23:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
