RANG THE FIRE BELL.

A good story comes from Vail. The
citizens of the town were anxious to
see the meteoric shower and engaged
the night watchman to ring the fire
bell when the celestial display should
begin. Some of the practical jokers got
next to the arrangement and shortly
after midnight went just outside of the
town and fired regular Fourth of
July exhibition of sky rockets and
roman candles. The night watchman
felt sure he was in the presence of one
of the great phenomena of the universe
and hastened to give the alarm agreed
upon. When the good citizens of Vail
reused from their honest slumbers on ly
to find themselves the victim of hoax,
it is said that some of the language used
was more alarming than the fire bell.
