GALLANTRY COST LIFE
Driver Turns Too Close to Edge In Giving Women Road.

  Altoona, Pa., January 10. - Edward W. White, aged twenty-three years, 
was fatally injured while gallantly giving two women the road on the 
mountain north of here, so they would not have to wade through high 
snow drifts.  He was driving and pulled so close to the edge of a high 
embankment that his sleigh was upset, the horse became frightened and 
ran away, but White held on to the lines  and was dashed against a mail 
box post, his neck being broken and his skull fractured.  
  He was unconscious when the women reached his side and died several 
hours later.
