Fred L. Maneval, 22, brakeman, saved Elna Newburg, 22, from being run over by a train, Ridgway, Pennsylvania, July 19, 1907. When a train, which was backing toward Miss Newburg at a speed of 4 m.p.h., was less than 10 feet distant, she fell across the track and fainted. Maneval jumped toward her from the rear platform of the train, alighting between the rails. He pulled her from the track, the rear platform of the train grazing him as they cleared the rail. Neither was injured. 8059-644
