C, Burnett, Nebraska City; hadly barned, Nettie Curns, head waltrens; ped from third story. ‘The fire originated in the basement, presumably from an electric wire. Night Clerk Wilson was on the third floor at the time. The flames were discovered dy a bell-boy and had already gained considerable headway. By the time the nigat clerk had been notified and the work of sounding the alarm had begun escape was cut off from the ground floor. The guests penned in by the flames crowded to the windows clad only in thelr night robes, wildly calling for belp. Jwuped from Windows. ‘The facilities of the fire department were meagre and each moment's delay Increased the panic that already pre- vailed, and one after, another the oc- cupants were seen to hurl themselves from tie windows to the pavement be- low. Limbs were broken and the writh- ing mass of humanity that was rapidly heaped up was a horrible and sickening sight. ‘Those who jumped from the third-story windows had little hope of wurviving the frightful leap, but few hesitated as the flamee came nearer and nearer, Miss Nettie Curns was the last of those alive to leave {he burning etruc- ture and had sustained tortivle burns before she sprang from tie window- ull on which she had sought refuge.
