Attended Funeral of Running Elk Goodrich Mrs. John Zortman and two daughters Betty and Virginia returned last evening from Newark, New Jerkey where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Zortman's brother, Mr. Frank Goodrich of Verona, N.

known as Running Elk, his Indian name, Every one knew he was an old top man that he had a strain of Indian blood and was the uncle of Raymond Griftith, the movie star. Few however knew he was one of the most famous of the old wild west showmen. Not every one knew his hair was fully three feet long as he kept It pinned up in a knot on his head and wore a cap most all the time which covered it. Elk carried with him to his grave a bullet lodged in his shoulder when as a Texas ranger he. helped to round up a band of outlaws.

After a few years of gervice with the Rangers, Elk went into the show business and soon esta.blished himself as one of the leading Wild West players. After playing with Barnum, Buffa1o Bill, Pawnee Bill, the Forepaughs and other famous circus and wild west showmen, he and his wife established their own show, which they continued until teir augte wa bodrh continued until their daughter was born twenty -four years ago. He did not give up his old associations entirely, but took with him to his fouracre "ranch" in Verona most of his trained horses, dogs, and wild animals.

THE DAILY PANTAGRAPH, BLOOMINGTON, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 11, 1926. SEVEN Remarkable Stocks! Styles! The Shades! Mayer them and it has not of high they having will all on the or bring on ani- upon the farm, there is small chance OL securing permission. Comparatively low prices for pelts and the great number engaged In trapping as compared with the mai population that remains, perhaps accounts the small number of applicants for trappers licenses. Muskrats are said to be plentiful at some points, but the high water may be a handicap. Most of the present.

day trappers are some of the farmers who put in leisure hours during winter in setting traps and preparing the hides for marketing. Some of these lads pick up enough money to a radio set or second-hand autobuy mobile that brings them considerable pleasure. Sporting goods houses have had 8 rush during the last few days on rifles, shotgun shells and high boots. The fall of snow Tuesday, altho it did melt as rapidly as it fell, made many a sportsman take a few moments of his time to rest upon his elbow and dream of the rabbits and quail he hoped to bring in over the week- end. Altho some hunters have been suecessful in bringing down a number of Treat!

TRAPPERS ALSO INACTIVE, Are we slipping as nimrods? It would seem so. City Clerk Herman Bock reported yesterday. that he had sold less than a thousand hunting licenses, less by 1600 than at this time a year ago, while but 100 applied for trappers permits, against 600 last year. The city officer looked for a rush after licenses yesterday with the opening of the rabbit, quail and pheasant season, but there were only ten applications. The ninety or more that he expected, failed to show up, despite ideal conditions from a hunter's standpoint, cold and raw and with snow on the ground.

Just the weather to put pep into one's being and inspire long walks to the music of crunching stubble and icy sod. The extension of the rabbit season to the latter part of January perhaps explains the lesser demand for permite. The antipathy of farmers toward quail hunting may also be responsible. There are now few farms which do not display warning signs, "No hunting here," and the little brown birds are given universal protection. This prevents much of the sport that was prevalent in years gone by, and unless the city hunter has a farmer friend who can trust him and who knows that his live stock is safe should he seek game BEAUTIFUL I HAIR if neglected becomes dull, brittle, and lifeless.

and Mrs. E. R. Morgan, of This City, the Fearful Havoc Wrought by the Elements--Wind Gained a Velocity of 130 Miles an Hour. The terrible havoc wrought by the typhoon at Havana, Cuba, and thruout the island is vividly described in a letter by Orme Morgan, formerly of Bloomington, to his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. E. R. Morgan, of 202 East Locust street. In Havana there were 600 killed and 9,000 injured, evincing the awful destruction caused by the storm.

Mr. Morgan is a manufacturer's agent at Havana and hold such rights in the entire island. He has been located at Havana for about eleven years. The letter is under date of October 25, written as the author expresses it "At Home--or what used to be one." Mr. Morgan says: "I am writing by the light of a lantern that.

we shall probably have to use for the next thirty days, AS all wire and poles are down flat for miles. After writing you Tuesday night that a phone message from the down town district had warned us that the storm would hit Havana about 12:30 midnight, I fixed up the house as best I could and turned in, and was sleeping when Edward came in our room saying that he was standing in an inch of water. Almost at this stage the curtain went up for the show. At 8 a. m.

the wind did not seem SO strong, although it was still blowing trees and poles down. At this time my friend George Mattowx came in. He was all in and wet to the bone. He had walked from his house to ours, about three-fourths of a mile, in hope of reaching town to see about possible damage at his office. At 8:30 a.

I got the car out and George and I started, hoping to get around fallen trees and poles. It was hard work keeping the bus headed into the wind, as just as we had reached the river (the water was over the hubs) the old bus quit cold so I released the brakes and let the wind blow me back almost a block, where a house was under construction. I managed to get the car behind the house and George and got on the floor just as the big blow started about 9 a. traveling about 130 miles an hour without one moment letup until 12 noon. This is the blow that did not leave tree or a pole standing and wrecked houses.

George and I had only the protection of a wall and we had to duck bricks and other things flying through the air. "At 12 we decided to try to reach home, so we tied up our heads with sacks and locking our arms, jumped off in the salt water to our waists. were blown down any number of times but made home, about a We mile away, by 1:30. We examined one man on our way home to make sure that he was dead before passing him up When we arrived at home, what a sight! All windows and doors gone, furniture and clothing scattered to the four winds, but no sign of life, so we made our way to the kitchen. where Charlotte, Edward and the maid were waiting for the house to cave in.

They were soaked to the skin and standing in water. "At 6 p. m. I paid a man his price to try to get us to a down town hotel, which after climbing over fallen trees, we succeeded in reaching by 8 p. m.

Leaving the family safely at the hotel I headed for the office and warehouses. I couldn't see my hand in front of me (every light out) but passing a man with a lantern I again paid his price and reached the office to find all windows blown in and skylights gone, everything piled up in a heap by the wind and rain. At the warehouse both skylights were carried away, all iron shutters blown in and all merchandise bathed in salt water. It looked as if I was wiped out. I was more or less bruised all over but still in the ring.

"We are now back in the house while repairs are going on, using wooden plates and paper cups at our table. The main thing is that we are sate and well. In Havana 600 were killed and 9,000 were injured." Mrs. Barclay Taken by Death Wednesday Mrs. Elizabeth Barclay, 70, of 623 East Chestnut street, died Wednesday morning at 8:20 o'clock at Brakaw hospital following an operation to which she submitted on Monday of this week, Elizabeth Moran, daughter of John and Jemimah Moran, was born in Trenton, N.

Who will help these unfortunate farmers according to their needs? Who will save them from utter ruin? It is conceded that Chicago will not extend a helping hand to the mutilated victims of her sewage waters. The stress of the flood news is past, will these unfortunate victims be overlooked? Is the Red Cross able rehabilitate these worthy farmers as it has the citizens of the city and rebuild his home for him and feed him while he is idle? It will require a lot of money to do this work reasonably well. The landowner cannot help for he, too, is hard hit and would welcome the idea of someone restoring his farm to its former free of cost.

The writer hears the muffled cry. from all over the Valley "Who will come over and help us?" Surely this cry will not go unheeded. Surely the Red Cross will take up this big task and help these worthy citizens to "carry on." The generous people of our great state will certainly give to these needy home folks. If a great need justifies a geerous public givig, the present needs of the valley tenant farmers certainly justifies the most liberal and hearty consideration that our people can possibly give, Few Licenses to Hunt Are Issued Though the hunting season opened yesterday very few called at the city hall to purchase hunting licenses. During other years a great number of licenses were issued during two or three days preceding the opening and several days thereafter, but there were only four issuel Tuesday and three yesterday.

City Clerk H. J. Bock said he believed hunters were delaying their start into the woods this year because of the lengthening of the hunting season. Last year the season on of the state closed on January but most game to be found in this, part this year It extends to the last day of January. To Hold Social.

Kerr, of Versailles, tensive land owner along the river among the heavy sufferers from the recent floods. He has visited Bloomington on numerous octon casions his efforts to aid land owners in getting the state or the federal government to take some steps in to avoid these article devasting. tells of Mr. the a recent plight of the lond owner as follows: city limelight of as Beardstown the greatest has been sufterer recent and much sympathy has been extended to her citizens and considerable money has been given to alleviate their needs. New York has seen her waters on the screen and the Press has said much about her distress and have commended the city for its fortitude.

This is as it should be. But the real sufferers in the valley have received little consideration; namely the large company of men who have tilled the farms of the valley, known 8.8 tenant farmers, Their cry has not been heard, the press has not told their story, Their case is a pitiful one in the extreme, their year's work has been done, they were ready for the harvest their notes were just about due at the banks, when within a few days they became paupers. They fled in the night like fugitives from justice, in boats, on rafts, in wagons wading the flooded waters, they took their livestock with them as best they could, they left household goods, wearing apparel, implements, hay and grain and fled to the hills as best they could and located in anything resembling a house. They had no food, no credit and no money with which to buy. They have lost everything.

They have lost it for good. They have lost their entire year's work. They borowed money with which to operate. They have nothing with which to repay. Their personal property, what little is left, is mortgaged for more than it is worth.

This farmer has no work; he has a family that must be fed; he is not needed in the city; all that he has lies under water, worthless. He is hard hit, yet being country born he will not cry for help, he will not ask for alms, he is a silent broken hearted sufferer, for whom nobody seems to care. A lot of money has been sent to Beardstown very properly. But nobody need be idle in that city today, the most that has been lost, is a few week's work. True, many houses have been damaged but the Red Cross is ready to restore these to their former condition, free of cost to the owners.

The farmers of the southern part of the state who lost last year in the tornado had what was left after the storm, but the tenant farmers of our valley has nothing left. He has no house or home for the Red Cross to restore for him tree of cost. He has nothing, not even next year's work, even if he could farm then, for it would all be mort- Photo Prices Cut $7.00 a Dozen Pictures, now specially priced at $3.00 Have Your Christmas Pictures Made Now.
