Default Carl Horner photo- ID help

I picked up this Horner photo on ebay recently and discovered it's probably not Larry Mclean. I am wondering if it could be "John" Mclean? I heisted a couple of pics from ebay to help. I already have a deal with the seller for a return if it's not at least "one" of the Mcleans . Any and all help is appreciated!!

Default McLean vs. Meyers

It's a catcher ... not McLean but Chief Meyers, I believe.

Default a resemblence

There is a resemblence to Chief Meyers, no doubt. This Horner photo could be an early picture of him but all of the pictures I have seen of Chief Meyers have his left eyebrow as being somewhat "up" on the outside part of it, like he was cut there and got stitches, or something?

Hey, John Thorn posts here? Who knew?

As for the photo, I saw it on ebay and tried to compare it to McLean, but just wasn't sure. It's definitely not Chief Meyers.

Gentle men of good will may disagree, of course. But I will stick to my identification of our chap as Meyers, and offer a portrait from 1910 by Paul Thompson as "evidence."

It's neither of the McLean's (clearly) , nor is it Chief Meyers (whom it at least does resemble) - the ears do not match (nor do several other features).

I'll post photos later.

Leon - why didn't you ask me first?
