race Daly's horse beat Cleric's. Clark
ran in a racer and skinned Daly. Then
war was on. When Daly bad spent it
great deal on his Anaconda smelter,
Clark cornered the right on the enly
water near by. Daly had to pay him a
bonus of over $100,000.
This was the -cleared $100,000 that
Clark ever made. In '87 Clark ran for
