MAXWELL FISHER
LEAVES FORTUNE
Wealth Of Aged Detroiter Who
Passed Away Is Estimated
At $4,000, 900.

Maxwell M. Fisher. aged IS. one OF
the Oldest and wealthiest residents OF
Detroit. Is dead N his home. No. ga
Woodward-ave. Death followed years
Of illness and was not unexpected.
Mr.. Fisher was born in New Jersey
In 1924. His parents were poor. and
at the age OF 20 he started for the
rapidly growing west, landing In De-
troit after many hardships. with less
than a dollar In his pocket. For two
years he followed his trade as a
mason; then he became contractor
and builder, forming partnership
with his brother, which later developed
into one Of the biggest firms OF Its
kind In the city.
Always OF a saving disposition. Mr.
Fisher boarded his earnings. About
this time the lumber industry was de-
veloping rapidly. and he saw the splen-
did chance for investment. This busi
ness also fiourished, and for years he
was one Of the largest dealers In the
state.
After retiring from the lumber bust
ness Mr.. Fisher returned to Detroit
and went into the brokerage business
with <. G. Booth and David G. Pres
ton. This business was continued fol-
IS years, and the three partners made
fortunes. He retired from active bust
ness life in 1881. In 1904 he was
stricken with paralysis. and since then
had been almost helpless.
Mr.. Fishers wealth Is estimated al
81, 900 5000. He once owned the pres
emit site Of the Majestic building and
the Wright, Kay & Co. corner. He
also owned some fine residence prop
erty on Woodward-ave.
Mr.. Fisher was married four times
His first wife, to whom he was united
more than so years ago, died over SO
years ago. His second wife also died
He was divorced from the third. and
the fourth survives. He leaves one
son. Albert C. Fisher. who resides on a
farm near Bloomfield.
The advent OF a baby in the Fisher
home was the cause OF a bitterly coli
! tested lawsuit about two years ago
, People were astonished when the an
nouncement was made that there was
babe in the Fisher home. and the
heirs at once took steps to see thai
the baby was cut of from any share
in the Fisher estate. It came out later
that the child was adopted, and Mrs
Fisher said that II would be no claim
ant through her for part Of the prop
erty. About this time Albert Fisher
filed a petition in the probate court
asking that his father be placed under
care OF a guardian. This was done
and since then the Union Trust Co
has managed the estate.

WORLDS NERvIEST MAN.
Jumps From Dome Of Tent and Lands
on Chest.

on CneSt.
One might use a great many adjec-
tives In attempting to describe the
act OF Desperate, one OF the import
ed feature performers of the Barnum
& Bailey Greatest Show on Earth,
which Is to be seen In Detroit on June
II, and yet fall far short OF adequately
describing the mans feat. II Is an act
that had excitable Paris by the ears,
that caused phlegmatic Berlin to gasp
in establishment and which Is now
causing Americans to sit up in abso-
Lutte amazement.
For Desperado's feat there is built
a platform that Is over so, feet In
height. A few feet from the platform
on the ground is a small curved skid.
The act consists Of the fearless per-
former diving from the top OF the plat
form, striking on the unsupported
chest, and living to repeat his per-
Torrance. There is n9 clap-trap about
the feat. The skid upon which the
daredevil man strikes Is OF the sim
plest kind. The man who would de-
liberately throw himself from the roof
sidered crazy, but that Is just what is
pTdCtiCdiiy uOuc Wy DCopci uuo.
The absolute nerve and utter reck'
iessness OF Desperate is not realized
until the man begins his ascent to the
platform under the dome Of the tent
AS he stands raady to dive head Tor
ward to the ground MS disregard Of
the possible consequences brings PEG
ple to the edge OF their seats. In an
instant he has leaped and is sailing
through the air. Nothing short OF In
slant death seems to await him
There Ia hardly time to shudder; there
Is hardly time to think. To avert
ones gaze is impossible. AS Desper
ado strikes the skid there Is an audible
gasp running through the vast con
course of people. A swlshing sound
and Desperate is on his feet and bow
ing to the pladdits OF the nerve.racked
people.

amount of the first dividend for six
months, was $34.07.
The only dishonest transaction the
institution ever experienced was in
1859, a short time after the famous
BoWdOinham bank robbery. The
banking rooms were at that time To-
Gated over the American bank, but the
iron safe, which depended upon a
common lock with monster key for
security. contained only the books
and papers of the bank, the securities
being placed in the American bank
vault for safer keeping. The robbers
had evidently planned to secure every
thing of value in the safe by taking
such precautions as removing Win
dnws etc, but the force and report of
the explosion was so terrific that
nearby townspeople were awakened
and the plan of seizure was frustrated
The safe was wrecked and everything
in tn" office placed in confusion. Upon
investigation 1T was found that
twenty eight cents had been removed
