clifford with cane of horn and bone

Trying different way to find relatives of Richard Harry Clifford. In 1921, Richard made seven canes from rounds of cow-horn from Texas long-horn cattle brought to the railhead in the panhandle of Oklahoma in the last long-horn cattle drive. He used the horns clipped from the cattle before being put on the railroad cars. The handles were made of bone, the horn-rounds being placed for each cane on an iron rod the top end of which was drilled into the bone-handle. He kept one cane and sent the others to relatives, one we know going so far north as Canada. Do any Clifford descendents out there have such a cane? For more on Richard Harry Clifford, see postings by Penny Jo Kingsland or go to website web.mac.com/cliffgiles/Clifford_Family/Will_Clifford_Kin.html - 57k . Please contact myself at cliffguy72@hotmail.com or, else, cliffgiles@comcast.net. Many thanks.
