Clifford Higgins

Higgins was part of McDonald's pack train that was attacked on May 17, 1864. He and Peter McDougall were the first to be shot. Ahan was sentenced to death for having participated in the murder of Higgins, McDonald, and McDougall, but it is uncertain who fired the fatal bullets.

Higgins's body was discovered by Brew's military expedition after it had been almost entirely eaten by wolves. It appeared he had been shot in the wrist, under the arm, and in the stomach. John Higgins, Clifford's father, later wrote to the Secretary of State asking for confirmation and further details of his son's death.
