A Marvel of the Earthquake. San Francisco, Cala., April 20 - Probably ihc most marvellous escape & from death during the earthquake is o that of "Gimpy liill," a well known 5 character, who escaped from an upper ti Seor of a building at the height of the ? quake. t< Every resident of San Francisco .R knows "Gimpy Bill," though perhaps g not by that name. He is a cripple and h mendicant, who soils lead penoils on s Market street. His legs have been cut off at tho very hips; and in place of s legs he moves ou wheeled platforms, o strapped to the stumps. He works t himself along the pavements with two s short canes, and his head is about at c the level of a dog. He is a man on oas- 1 tors, instead of legs. c When the earthquake came Bill was sleeping over a saloon on Washington s i Btreet, near Montgomery-a region t uhioh get a heavy shock. His street i legs wore unstrapped, but he had his c clothes on. He was pitched out of bed 1 and rolled about the room like an cmp- i ty demijohn. A heavy cornice fell \ through the ceiling of his room and missed him by a foot. He rolled away from the wreok and managed to get to his rollers, whioh he strapped on. He tried the door, but the wreckage had 1 him penned in a prisoner. He trun- 1 died himself to the window, and saw that the d?Btriot wee already on fire. Bill went 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 ?no phort. At the end of it he hung ten feet above the street. There ho swung and yelled, afraid of what the drop might do to his trundle plat forms, until some one passing threw up a pile of boxes and helped him down, in one day, driven always backward by the fire, this cripple cov ered about fourteen miles, ending in a camp in Golden Gate Park. At one time he grabbed the tailboard of a wagon and held on, his platforms bumping over the cobble e. At an other time his only way of esoape f rom tho fire was across Russian Hill, ip whioh an Italian boy pulled him with a rope for ten oents.-News and Cou rier. Not Gullly.
