Chunk Colbert (died January 7, 1874) was an Old West gunman, known for having been killed by noted gunfighter Clay Allison.
However, the only confirmed killing is that Charles Morris in Cimarron, New Mexico, a man he believed was involved romantically with his wife.
On January 7, 1874, Colbert and Allison entered the Clifton House, an Inn in Colfax County, New Mexico.
Allison quickly drew and fired, striking Colbert in the head.
Asked why he had accepted a dinner invitation from someone likely try to kill him, Allison replied: "Because I didn't want to send a man to hell on an empty stomach".
