young man employed as the tragedian's
dresser when Irving was the lessee q
the Lyceum theater. The young fellow
had been recommended for the place
" Clarkson, the celebrated wigmak-
|;er. Irving was as exacting In matters
of makeup as he. was In everything
Eelse relating to stage equipment, and
be succeeded In impressing Clarkson
with 4 deep sense Of responsibility. y
Shortly after his entering upon his
aew duties Garrison called upon his
former employee. A. Ciarkson had
noticed that he did not get 90 many
orders for wigs from Irving az be for
mefly did, he had begun to suspect
that the dresser was accountable. 5e

is probably the best horsewoman among
the feminine vaudeville contingent She
IS a familiar figure among the riders
in Central Park when playing or at
home in New York city.
Her being in condition at all times
stood her in good stead last winter.
When returning with her company from
Seattle TO Chicago, making the long
jump without a break, the train en-
countered a snow blockade thirteen
miles west Of Wallace, Idaho, with not
town or habitatIou near.
It was necessary for Miss Bradford
To send dispatch TO Chicago to OBJ
tain a horse. She set off for Wallace
ia the teeth Of snowstOrm. She
reached Wallace all right and returned
to the snoWbOund train without losing
her way and having any other ad-
venture. The distance covered was

MYSTERY IN DEATH
OF WILLIAM AMMON
Circumstances Point to Suicide
But Doctors Declare Heart
Disease the Cause.

YORK, Pa, Aug 26.-Mystery sur
rounds the manner in which District At
torney William L Ammon. who died a
few days after an official examination
Of his accounts with the STANDARD
Building and Loan Asosciat on, met his
death. A shortage alleged TO cover a
period of fifteen years and TO be more
than $1,000 is said to have been dis
covered.
Circumstances Of his death seem to
point 10 suicide, but physicians declare
heart disease was the cause Only a
few hours before he died Ammon pur-
chased a pound of cyanide OF potassium.
but the doctors say there is 10 indica-
tion of his having taken any Of the
drug. A search for the poison has
proved fTuitless.
Ammon was secretary of the sbuilding
and loan association for fifteen years
and had custody of its funds An ex-
pert has been employed to examine the
cooks of the company.
