Firemen Rescue BRAVE Hollywood smoke eaters are tilting their noses just a little higher today when they pass brother firemen from other stations--for they rescued a real, live bear and revived him after he had knocked himself unconscious. In Hollywood cemetery, a bear escaped from his cage and climbed a tree. The owner sent a rush call for firemen and they battled to get Bruin down. But a fireman threw a lasso, and the bear slipped, neatly hanging himself in the crotch of a tree. The firemen climbed up,
brought the bear down and applied a pulmotor to his lengthy snout. The
results were excellent and the patient gurgled appreciative noises when he
was revived. |
