The Aerial Fire Fiend A.S. Danton the Daredevil of Charleston collection Jim Linderman

I wish I had this brave young man's story to share, but I'm working on something and don't have time to scroll the microfilm in Charleston, West Virginia.  

I assume a stunt performer with a terrifying act of fire and height.  It looks like he may have singed his moustache.
