Charles M. Thompson, 25, pipeline foreman, attempted to rescue Clara E., 40, and Elizabeth E. Downs, 3, from a runaway, Temple, Texas, November 24, 1911. The horse that Mrs. Downs was driving got beyond her control and broke into a hard gallop. Thompson ran into the street as the horse approached him and grasped the bridle with one hand and a shaft with the other. The horse reared and struck Thompson’s head, rendering him unconscious. He fell to the ground, the buggy running over him. Two of his ribs were broken, and he was otherwise injured. 11157-798
