Frank Ryan's life saving ability
Is not confined to rescuing people from
drowning although he has performed
several feats in that line during tne
mast season His prompt action I'M
doubtedly saved a woman from being
crushed beneath the wheels OF the
BLOCK Island excursion train as 1t was
milling out of the local station yester-
day morning. For some reason the
woman, who was past middle age. ulu
not attempt to board the train until II
had started and gained considerable
speed. She then ran toward one OF
the cars and grabbed the platform ran
Int the speed of the train broke her
grasp and nearly threw her under inc
wbeals In spite of warnings from
numerous spectators the woman was
ahout to repeat the act on the next
car when young Ryan jumped between
her and the car-platform ana th"ar'-
ed her foolhardy purpose.
