| | Call Fireman Sam Haskins, Los Angeles Fire Department |
 | | The fireman was the recipient of much adverse criticism for not putting out the fire which was rapidly heating the boiler and literally roasting the victim. |
| | Sam Haskins sprang to his place on the rear of the engine, but, owing to the roughness of the road, he lost his balance, flung his arms about wildly for a moment, then fell between the boiler and the left hind wheel, where he was crushed and burned to death. |
| | Sam Haskins was a well-known character about town, and had many friends among the white as well as the colored population. |
