Herbert H. Freeland sustained fatal injuries saving Christina, John G., and Elizabeth Carroll from a runaway, Toronto, Ontario, March 25, 1924. Mrs. Carroll, 27, was walking on the sidewalk with John, 3, and wheeling Elizabeth, 7 months, when a horse, drawing a wagon, was not more than 20 feet away and galloping toward them. Freeland, 28, waiter, ran 45 feet, facing the horse and passing Mrs. Carroll, and as he sprang to take hold of the horse five feet beyond Mrs. Carroll, he collided with the horse, diverting its course. He was thrown to the street, and his skull was fractured. He died about two and a half hours later from his injuries. 24121-2070
