Ellsworth Sanders, 47, bricklayer, sustained fatal injuries saving Rose M. Schmitt, 23, from a runaway, Cleveland, Ohio, May 5, 1914. Sanders and a friend saw a team of horses galloping along a street without a driver, in the rear of Miss Schmitt and her sister, who did not appear to be aware of danger. They ran toward the young women, who were between them and the horses. Sanders grabbed Miss Schmitt, and the other man grabbed her sister. The girls misunderstood the men’s motives, jerked away, and ran. They escaped injury, but the horses plunged into the men, knocking them to the ground. Sanders was severely injured and died a few hours later. 13715-
