OF John G. Runyon, an aged man who
on December 19, 1906, was in immi-
nent danger of being run down by an
Erie railroad train.
Mr.. Runyon, who Is "a years old, at
tempted to cross the tracks in front OF
an oncoming train. not observing that
another train was approaching rapidly
on an adjoining track from the oppo-
site direction. He reached the spot
between the two tracks before he re-
allied his danger and then became be-
wildered by his apparent inability to
avoid being run down.
Miss Gulnan, who was standing at
the crossing, realizing that his confu-
sion might cost his life. sprang to his
aid. She seized and held him firmly
between the two trains as they rushed
by. AS soon as the trains had passed,
she led the old man to The sidewalk.
There he nearly collapsed from fright.
Miss Guinan seemed quite undisturbed
by the experience. A measurement
made subsequently showed the space
between the swayiug trains was
barely 36 inches wide.
Friends of the young woman made
application for a medal of honor under
the act of congress which provides
that the president may bestow bronze
medals of honor on those who, by ex-
treme daring endanger their own lives
in saving or endeavoring to save the
lives of others from wreck, disaster or
grave accident upon railroads engaged
in interstate commerce. The case was
Investigated carefully by the federal
authorities and the committee on
medals recommended that medal be
awarded to Miss Guinan

The great bulk of this sum is paid by
people who care not an atom either

pay the tax regularly simply because
they have carriages or plate herald
