Actor Courts Death.
Time in its flight works many
changes. The playmates of childhood
scatter and, generally are found en
gaged In pusuits far different from
the dreams of tha toddling and school
day period. '
Just' now attention is drawn to a La
Grande girl, who In her early days
little thought she would be earning a
living by courting death twice dally.
Every afternoon and night she takes
her life In her hands and goes to the
very brink of the grave, as it .were.
She is the highest salaried artist with
the great Bells-Floto show (the Shrln
ers' show) and dill be here with the
monster tented exhibition, May 29.
She returns to the city of her birth,
not under her own name, but with a
name given by the rules of profession
al life a name known to thousands
because they have seen the beautiful
possessor execute under the dome of
the big white tent the act that has
thrilled the world. She does not like
the Idea of performing before her own
people and is trying hard to conceal
her real Identity. ':...
Medical men and scientists, who
have seen her act and made deduc
tions thereon, are of the opinion that
some day sooner or later her life will
be snapped in the very midst of her
marvelous, death-defying stunt; that
her head will be wrung from her very
body. . s
