Wiley C. James, 27, foreman of car painters, helped to save George C. Brown, 32, oil-rank repairman, from suffocation, Lawrenceville, Illinois, June 5, 1912. (See cases of EVERETT O. WALCOTT and OWEN S. RAMSEY.) James ran 1,000 feet to the tank and, after seeing two men at the bottom, immediately descended into it after Ramsey was assisted out. He ascertained that neither man was caught in pipes along the bottom and then ascended and procured a wire with which he again descended. He had lifted Brown and was attempting to place the wire around him when he suddenly became blind and felt strangled. He climbed the ladder and was assisted from the tank. He recovered in a short time. 11632-832
