Harry Davis (d. 1926)
	
Harry Davis was a woodcutting working for William Marshall on the Yukon River. William Marshall notified the RCMP that another of his woodcutters, Charlie Smith, was missing in February 1926. Charlie Smith lived ten miles below Marshall's Ranch on the Yukon River (km 503.5).((Mike Rourke, //Yukon River: Marsh Lake to Dawson City.// Houston B.C.: Rivers North Publications, 1997: 124.)) His cabin was twenty-five miles north of Fort Selkirk.((//Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 12 March 1926.)) Constable Thornthwaite and Joseph Menzies, tracker and assistant, found Smith's body in Harry Davis’ cellar. Davis’s cabin was about four miles below Marshall's.((Mike Rourke, //Yukon River: Marsh Lake to Dawson City.// Houston B.C.: Rivers North Publications, 1997: 124.)) Smith was shot in the chest and the back of his head was smashed in.((//Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 12 March 1926.)) Davis killed Smith, and when Thornthwaite questioned him, said he couldn't be bothered chopping a hole in the ice but was waiting until the spring to get rid of the body. He was convicted and died in prison before the year was out.((Mike Rourke, //Yukon River: Marsh Lake to Dawson City.// Houston B.C.: Rivers North Publications, 1997: 124.))
