taken out quickly. Life was ex-
tinct The opening through which
she fell was about 12x18 inches.
The news of her death has cast
a shadow of gloom over the en-

ger. without a moment s. warning,
dropped dead of apoplexy on the

II years old.
Doctor Hicks obtained the

predictions, in many Of which he
outguesscd local weather bureaus
on large storms. 1t was said, I'M
doubtedly rightfully, that no cir
Gus made up schedule without

the weather. Many times circuses
have cancelled dates and gone
around cities where Doctor Hicks
predicted a big storm would oc-
cur on the night the show was to
be held.
