A BILL NYE BACK NUMBER.
HIS GRAPHIC REPORT OF FIRE BEFORE
He BECAME FAMOUS.

Last night was awakened by the cry
of fire. 1t was loud, h"arse cry, such
as II large, adult man might emit from
his window on the night ain. The town
was not large and the fire department, l
had been told, was not so effective as it
should have been.
For that reason | arose and carefully
dressed myself in order to assist, If
possible | carefully lowered myself from
my room by means of staircase which
found concealed in dark and mysterious
corner of the passage.
On the streets all was confusion. The
hoarse cry of fire had been taken up by
others and passed around from one to
another, till it had swollen into dull
roar. The cry of fire in small town is
always grand sight.
All along the street in front of Mr..
Pendergast's roller rink the blanched
faces of the people could be seen. Men
were hurrying to and fro, knocking the
bystanders over in their frantic attempts
get SOl1cWucIC clSC. w III lOuN lOlS-
sight Mr.. Pendergast, who had that day
finished painting his roller rink dull
roam color, removed from the building
the large card which bore the legend,
FRESH PAINT
so that those who were so disposed
might feel free to lean up against the
rink and watch the progress of the
flames.
Anon the bright glare of the devouring
element might have been seen burning
through the easement of MIR. Cicero
Williams residence, facing on the alley
west of Mr.. Pendergast's rink. Across
the street the spectators whose early edu
Cation had not been neglected, could dis
tinctly read the sign of our esteemed fel
low-townsman, Mr.. Alonzo Buringame
which was lit up by the red glare of the
flames, so that the letters stood out as
plain as follows:
