Michael J. Madden, 37, assistant mine foreman, helped to save Anthony Gowrey, 43, miner, from suffocation, Sebastopol, Pennsylvania, January 10, 1911. Madden went with three other men through a heading into the gangway of a coal mine, following an explosion that had deflected the air current and filled that and other headings with after damp. They found Gowrey. A second explosion seemed imminent, and Madden went with two of the men to obtain a stretcher. They returned and carried Gowery out while the fourth man in their party continued, to save another man. Gowery was badly burned. 6419-530
