Chicago Examiner item recounts farmer Gus Schuman of 147th Street and Western Avenue who traded two mules for elephant Snoozer. The 150 year old creature died after a long appetite for food, a fall into a ditch, and rescue efforts. Dr Noble of Harvey and Uhlrich Rohrbach of Blue Island blamed for killing the beast.
