Show A Noted Athlete Downed by Dissipation. The career of James Tuttle has euded with death in a Georgia lunatic asylum. He was 42 years old, and a native of Mil-ledgeville, Mil-ledgeville, Ga. When a mere le4 he attracted at-tracted the attention of John Robinson, the famous showman, who employed him and put him under a course of training at once. His success was wonderful, and in a remarkably short while he was the star of the tent. As a rider, tumbler and acrobat he outrivaled them all. He gave a new meaning to trapeze acting by introducing acrobatic feats never before attempted. He revolutionized somersault acting by turning doubles over eighteen horses. Fast living of late years had reduced him to a physical and mental wreck. |
