business was certainly unique for an
Iowa man. He was engaged in
collecting animals for circuses and

the globe seventeen times. He
was as much at home in the jungles
of India or the wilds of Africa as in
the streets Of independence. One
of his latest business feats was in
bringing to this country for Bar
NUNS show, a gathering of repre-
sentative people of the different
c of the East. These people
made up the Midway attachment
to Barnum's great show. Person
ally, Mr.. Gaylord was very highly
respected in independence and
that whole city mourns his death.
