James L. Conlon, aged 36, assistant mine foreman, helped to save Joseph Lucas, 33, and James E. Dougher, 27, miners, from suffocation, Sebastopol, Pennsylvania, January 10, 1911. Conlon went with four other men into a heading of a coal mine, one-half mile from the shaft, immediately following an explosion that had deflected the air current and filled that and other headings with after damp. They found Lucas, unconscious, and carried him into fresh air. Returning, Conlon and four others found Dougher, whom they also carried out. All had been somewhat affected by the after damp. Lucas and Dougher were both revived. 6415-525
