set on fire by the collision, and which
ncglects for two hours to remove the other
ears of oil IN consequence of when some
of them are set on fire by the burning on
and explode. Is liable to one who Is IN
iured by such explosion.
In Texas n railroad is liable for the over
flow of land caused by its Negligent CON
gtruction of an ENHANCEMENT TO protect
bridge without sufficient waterways th"re-
In to allow the overflow of n river to pass
