SAVE CRIPPLED BOY
FROM DEATH IN SEA
TWO ADULTS MAKE PERIL0US
RESCUE
Lads Crutch Slips on Pier and Youth
Falls to Rocks, from Which
Huge Roller Washes
Him
Especial to The Herald.l

PLAYA DEL REY. Rug. 9.-Frank
Deitz and son Charlie. together with
a third person whose name could not
be learned, had an exciting half hour
in the breakers at the new pier this
evening, during which the elder Deitz
and the stranger distinguished them
selves in a heroic manner.
The two men and the boy, who is IL
years old and a cripple. were return
ing over an uncomple;ed portion OF
on the wet boards of the temporary
staging and he was thrown violently
on the rocks below. Bruised and torn,
the little fellow struggled to maintain
a foothold on the slippery rocks when
a huge roller washed him into the
water
When he fell, the father and the
other man both jumped to his rescue,
the latter reaching the water first. All
three were dashed against the rocks
by the heavy tide and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that the two men
were enabled to land the boy where he
could be assisted to the wharf above.
He was carried to the fish house on
the pier. where his wet clothing was
removed and he was wrapped in warm
blankets and left to sleep off the et-
fects of his mishap while the father
went to his home in Ocean Park Tor
dry clothing. A severe cash on the
temple and the nervous strain mel
dent to his mishap were the only in
iuries suffered by the boy.

FATHER AND SON THROWN
FROM BUGGY AND INJURED
Jauanese Refuses to Allow Surgeon to
Touch Him Until Boy Is
Treated

PASADENA, August 9.-Refusing to
allow his own wounds to be dressed
until the surgeons had pronounced ms
3-year-old son out of danger, ). Shio]l
of 929 East First street, Los AngeIeS'
stood this morning by the side of Or.
A. D. S. Mccoy while the police sur
geon examined the little boy for broken
homes and sought to restore the child
to consciousness. When he succeeded
the Japanese quietly took his place on
the operating table, and While the
sutures were placed in the long, ugly
cash across his own forehead displayed
not one-half the pain and emotion he
had shown while his son was under
going the examinations.
Father and son were coming from
Iamanda Park to Los Angeles, where
the former conducts a small restau-
rant. Near the center of East Pasa-
dena the horse Shioji was driving took
fright and directly in front of the
branch postoffice the rig COllided with
one driven by a woman, whose name
was not ascertained by the witnesses.
She was thrown out, as her buggy
overturned, but escaped any more Sc
rious injury than a bruised arm. Ihe
Japanese did not escape so easily
The child struck on his head and was
rendered unconscious. Shiojl, dazed by
his fall and bleeding profusely from
the cut on his forehead, picked up the
limp body Of the little fellow and stag
gered about, grooming softly i'm his ma
tive tongue. Mitchner Salisbury in an
automobile thinking the child dead or
hurt severely, bundled both into the
seat of his high-power runabOut and
broke every speed law in the city get
ting over the mile and a half he had to
travel to reach the emergency hos
nital.

SLAYER OF HOBART
HELD WITHOUT BAIL
CLINTON BURRlS PLEADS NOT
GUILTY TO CHARGE
Preliminary Hearing of Invalid Who
Killed Young Man to Be Held
Wednesday After
noon
Especial to The Herald ]

PASADENA, Aug. 9.-Held without
bail for the killing of Irving G. Hobart
in Lamanda Park Saturday afternoon,
Clinton Burris appeared today before
Judge Robert w. Mcdonald in justice
court and the formal plea of not guilty
required by law was entered against
his name. The preliminary hearing
was set for Wednesday afternoon at
2:3O o'clock, and at that time Burris
will make his plea of self-defense, as
already outlined in his statement re-
garding the shooting which he gave
out the night following his arrest.
The prosecution will endeavor to
show that Hobart knew nothing of his
father, the owner of the property, haN-
ing given Burris permission to remove
the fence which was the cause of the
quarrel between the stalwart young
teamster and the invalid next door, and
that he therefore considered himself
justified in ordering and even in using
some slight force in removing BurrlS
from the ground.
The defense will call Hobart, senior,
of Sierra Madre to prove its contention
that the prisoner was within his rights
and that Hobart's actions were hasty.
Simpson, Moody. & Simpson appeared
TODAY for the accused, and Will repre-
sent his interests throughout the case.
Rurris' health will not long endure the
confinement in the city Jail, although
he is being treated with every possible
comfort consistent with a safe guard
widespread sympathy is expressed
for his wife and four boys, particularly
the former, who is telegraph operator
in the Western Union office here and
who, assisted by her boys, has been the
sunnort of the family since illness com
nelled her husband to give up his office
as agent of the Santa Fe railroad in
Lamanda Park.
The funeral of Hobart will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from
the chapel of Ives, Warren & sails
bury, with Rev. J. H. Lash ot1clatlng
There will be music by a quartet from
+be limited Spanish War Veterans, of
