Blackburn Suit Reversed. s Sometimaagoa jury in' the circuit court returned a verdict of two thousand dollars in favor of Mrs. 5 Sa rah A. Blackburn and against the Southern Pacilic Railroad Company for damages sustained bv reason of her husbiiiul having been run over and killed at the. Sinner Hill crossing a couple of years ago, On Monday the supreme court handed down a decision reversing the decision of the lower court . Foilowi: g is the gist of the de cision : The controlling question is wdicther or not the lower court eried in overruling defendant's motion for a non suit on the ground that the evidence f howed that the proximate cause of the accident was the negligence of deceased in approaching the crossing without ex ercising due caution, foi if he did not, the opinion says, plaintiff should hot recover, though it was shown defend ant's train was running at an unlawful rate of speed. It was shown that the view of an approaching train from the south was completely unobstructed, and Bubstnniia'ly so on the north, and us plain' iff did not bring his team to a standstill before attempting 'o cross, it is hul l that he did not exercise such care and prudence as tin law requires, and that the mo ion for a nou suit ehoii'd have been adowed. "It is un questioned," Bays the opinion, "that negligence is generally a question of fact for the jury ; but in actions for injuries at railway crossings, w h -re, as in this case, the- uncontradicted evi dence shows the omission of a duty which the law requires of the tr.iveler, it is the duty of the court to direct a verdict for the defendant, , A Pleasant Jecc)fr.
