DEAD CLOWN

Otto Griebling, the world-famous Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus clown died yesterday in New York, after half a century in the circus business.

I he 75 year old clown was renowned for his routine with a block of ice. He carried this around the arena looking in vain for a recipient while it melted in his hands into an ice cube.

Griebling had been performing daily with the circus until he entered the hospital ten days ago.
