CROSSING WATCHMAN SAVES WOMAN’S LIFE
John MONAHAN, veteran crossing watchman at the Atlantic avenue,
Lynbrook, grade crossing of the Long Island Railroad to-day was being
congratulated by commuters for risking his life in saving a woman from
certain death under the wheels of a speeding train. Explaining that,
“It’s all in the day’s work.” MONAHAN said he failed to obtain the
woman’s name. The crossing watchman, who had guarded the Atlantic avenue
crossing for more that 20 years, has been decorated twice by the
Lynbrook Post, America Legion of saving lives of persons who ventured
into the path of trains.
BABY BOY IS LEFT IN CONEY HALLWAY
A brown-haired baby boy about two weeks old, wrapped neatly in a blanket
was found early to-day by John W. SMITH in the hallway of his home, at
2706 West Sixth street Coney Island. He was chewing contentedly on a
rubber nipple.
SMITH turned him over to Patrolman Timothy DOWNING of Coney Island
station, who delivered him to the foundling ward of Kings County Hospital.
