INDIAN CHIEFS SON DIES.

William Godfrey Passes Away at Age of 91 Years. Peru, Ind., July 21.—William Godfrey, 91 years old, the eldest son of the late Chief Francis Godfroy of the Miami tribe of Indians, died last evening at the county infirmary, where he had been for six months. He was totally blind. Because he did not have the interest of the Indians at heart like his younger brother, Gabrial Godfroy, he was not chosen the leader of the band at the time of his father’s death fifty years ago. He lived a quiet life and was a shrewd trader.
