McElroy was brought to San Ger

and an injured leg. lie had been
missing since June 27 when he took

flying to Honduras for delivery.
Companion Killed
Roy Gordon, American resident of
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, who was fly

which occurred In the midst of a
terrific tropical storm.
The crash of the ship after the mo

without food or water, with no know
ledge of Spanish or how to combat or
escape the deadly perils of a tropical
Jungle.
With almost unbelievable fortitude,
however, he tried to arrange the
wreckage to protect the body of his
companion as well as possible from
the Jungle beastB. He also made a
crude attempt to dress his Injured
leg and then started to crawl west

trade today could buy wheat at the
lowest price In the history of the Am

Near the end of a listless Reunion In

this month sold at 44l4 cents a
bushel.
Back In the early days of the Clvl!

ganlzed, the cheapest bushel of wheat
traded across the board went for 65
centa. There were dull days again
In the early nineties. And In Janu
