"GIMPY BILLS" ESCAPE.
Thrtlling Experience Of Legless
San ErapciscO Man.

Thrtlltng Experience Of a Legless
~. San FraDctsco Man.
Every resident Of San Francisco
knows "Glmpy Bill" though perhaps
not by that name. says a special dis
patch from San Francisco to tho Wash
ington Post. He ls q cripple and men,
dicant, who sells lcad pencils OH Mar
ket street. His legs have been cut Off
at the very hips. and In place Of legs
he moves Old wheeled platforms
strapped to the stumps. He works
himself along the pavements with two
short canes, and his head is about at
the level Of the head Of a dog. He Is
a man on casters instead Of legs.
When the earthquake came Bill was
sleeping over a saloon on Washington
street near Montgomery-a region
which got heavy shock. His street
legs were unstrapped, but he had his
clothes on. He was pitched out Of bed
and rolled about the room like an
empty demijohn. A heavy cornice fell
through the ceiling Of his room and
missed him by foot. He rolled away
from the wreck and managed to get
his rollers. which he strapped on. He
tried the door, but the wreckage out
side It had him penned In a prisoner.
he trundled himself to the window
and saw that the district was on fire.
Bill made 1t back to the bed, twisted
the blankets and sheets into a rope.
tied his canes about his neck with a
cord and slid out Of the window. His
rope was too short. At the end Of II he
hung ten feet above the streets. There
he swung and yelled, afraid Of what
the drop might do to bis trundle plat
forms, until some passing person
threw up pile Of boxes and helped
him down.
In one day, driven always backward
by the fire. this cripple covered about
fourteen miles, ending In a camp at
Golden Gate park. At one time he
grabbed the tailboard Of q wagon and
held on. his platforms bump'u9 over
the cobbles. At another time his only
way Of escape from the fire was across
Russian hill. up which an italian pull
ed him with a rope for 10 cents.

AFRAID OF THE CAMERA
Superstition Of Eastern Indians as
10 the Danger Of Photographs.-

(Old Town (Me.) Cor. New York
Sum- e.. y
Dana Nicolar, quarter blooded III
dian, has just violated the traditions
OF his tribe by consenting to have his
photograph taken to please Il Cana
dian girl from Montreal, who SAYS
she Is III love with him. Students Of
ethnology assert that no Indian who
Speaks the Natick or Eastern lang
uage of the tribes will consent to
stand before camera, unless he is
far gone in intoXication. y"
Among the beliefs held by the
Abenaki tribe is one which asserts
that the great spirit has made from
twenty to thirty duplicates of every
Indian who wears the salmon totem.
The original figure, which is the In
dian himself, has power to walk a.
bout on top of the earth and have a
good time eating and getting intoxi-
Gated. The other nineteen to twenty
nine counterpart Indians are hidden
away in still pools and deep lakes,
where they remain sober all the time
from compulsion.
On festive occasions when brave
is married or when he takes the scalp
of All enemy, he is permitted to throw
stones into these watery hiding places
and stir up All aquatic duplicate of
himself. When the submerged Indian
rises near the surface the terrestrial
Indian may look in the water and see
himself. But every Indian is caution
ed to be economical in drawing upon
his duplicates, as every time he sees
his image in the pool he uses up a
part of himself, and when the last one
is gone the Indian must die.
las every loyal Abenaki believes
that sitting before camera is as bad
for his health as invoking his picture
from the bottom of pond, the anna
teur photographer is not welcome
visitor at any tribal function. At
times this inherited animosity takes
the form of action, and the photogra-
phcr is elected from the company with
force and his camera burned in public
while the braves and squaws execute
war dances to express their JOY.
The compulsion which led Dana
Nicolar to imperil his stay on this side
of the happy hunting ground was love
at first sight. Under the spell of dark
eyes from Montreal he was led to an
Old Town studio and submitted to
the dangerous ordeal with true In
dian stoicism.
When the party returned to the
reservation Dana was missed from
the supper table. Later a searching
party found him sitting on the ice
in the middle of pond in Milford,
and gazing anXiously into a hole
which he had cut in the ice. When
questioned regarding his conduct he
replied:
"Ah IN bin lose meself two tam
terday. Bimeby Ah'm bees all gone.
So more of myself bin lef'. Bet you
hf' ALI m bin all right. Ah IN bin
see two of myself down in re ice hole.
