William A. McKnight, 23, student, saved two unidentified boys, about 6, from a runaway, New York, New York, March 18, 1913. The two boys stood in the street in the path of a horse that was galloping rapidly toward them drawing a wagon. McKnight ran to them from the curb, gave them a shove that moved them out of danger, and instantly backed toward the curb. His heel struck the curb, and he fell. At the same instant the wheel of the wagon struck the curb, and the wagon fell over on him. He was badly injured, being disabled 30 days. 10278-981
