PIE FROM BEDS.

Los Angeles, Calf, May 26.-Nine
members of the family of Frank p.
Samaritan were saved from possible
death by burning and soffocation by
Patrolman Phillip Bomar. Colored
officer of the Boyle Hight Police
division, who kicked in the doors of
the burning Samarin home at 424 1-2
South Chess street and, singlehanded,
rescued the members of the family.
BomaT was walking his beat on
Chess street shortly before / o'clock
when he noticed smoke pouring from
rear window of the house With
out hesitatins or stopping to inves-
tigate, he ran to nearby fire box
and pulled in an alarm. Then, re-
turning to the house, he kicked in
door and through the fire and
dense smoke made his way to the
bedside of the sleeping, unsuspect-
ing family and aided them out

The house, a one and half story
frame structure, was occupied by
three generations of the Samarin
family. The father and grandparents
occupied one section while q son,
Frank P. Samaritan, Jr., occupied
another. Bomar aroused the older
members and then devoted his atten-
ton to the children whom he carried
in his arms through the flames to
safety.
Until Bomar burst in none of the
occupants of the house were aware

Had Bomar been the least bit
tardy in his efforts at rescue, fire

have been more than one casualty.
AS it was, when Bomar entered the

had already commenced to inhale tho
smoke in their sleep and were in a
