Emmet V. Headlee, 13, schoolboy, saved William L. Fielder, 13, schoolboy, from drowning, Teague, Texas, May 12, 1913. William jumped into the deep water of a pond, but he became distressed and went beneath the surface. He came up and called for help, went down, and came up again. Emmet dived in and reached him 12 feet from the bank. Deep water extended to the bank. William grasped Emmet and climbed up on him, and both went beneath the surface. Emmet struggled beneath the surface for a distance of six feet, and then came to the surface with William on his shoulders. He grasped a branch that was extended by other boys, and he and William were pulled to the bank. 11479-1019
