Edward Bruce, 33, brakeman, saved Della G. Snyder, 48, from being run over by a train, Pacific, Missouri, November 3, 1913. Mrs. Snyder started to cross a track on which a fast train was approaching. When the train was 200 feet from her, she was warned by a whistle from the locomotive, and she stopped with one foot between the rails. Bruce ran about 20 feet and sprang across the track, grabbing Mrs. Snyder’s arm as he passed. He pulled her after him, and both cleared the track when the locomotive was less than three feet from them. It was running at a speed of 25 m.p.h. 12091-962
