Edward E. Losey, 42, carpenter, saved Richard W. Bacon, 67, from being killed by a train, Newport, Kentucky, June 8, 1926. Bacon, who was deaf and infirm, started to walk slowly over a railroad crossing as a train, running 10 m.p.h., was approaching. Losey ran 35 feet to him, reaching him as he stepped on the near rail when the train was 15 feet from them. Without stopping, Losey put his arm around Bacon’s shoulders and took him across and off the track, barely clearing the train. 26306-2287
