Thomas J. Jensen, 37, farmer, sustained fatal injuries rescuing two unidentified women from a runaway, Westfield, Massachusetts, July 10, 1913. The women were in an uncovered buggy when their horse bolted and galloped along the street at a speed of 12 or 15 m.p.h. Jensen ran into the street, climbed upon the back of the buggy, and, leaning over the seat, grasped the lines. Just as he did so, one of the front wheels struck a curb, his foot slipped, and his leg went between the spokes of a wheel. He was whirled around with the wheel several times as the horse continued to run. Other men stopped the horse within a short distance. Jensen died three days later of injuries that he received. The women were not injured. 11242-853
