Otis George, appellant; Los Ange-
les Railway Co., respondent Action for
personal injuries. Affirmed
The law imposes upon minors the
duty of giving such attention to their
surroundings and care to avoid dan
ger as may fairly and reasonably be
expected from persons of their age and
capacity, and children, as we'll as
adults, must use the discretion. which
persons of their years ordinarily have,
and cannot be permitted with fmpunity
TO indulge in conduct which they know.
or ought to know, to be careless.
The car which injured the boy was a
trailer" or unused car, which, with a
number Of others, was left in a con-
dition which made it possible for chill
dren to loosen the brakes and push the
cars along the track, which was done
Held, that in such a case the court was
justified in instructing the jury that if
! they believed from the evidence that
the element of danger connected with
these trailers was not a hidden or con-
cealed danger, but was open to the OBJ
servation and could be comprehended
by boy of plaintiffs age with average
intelligence, then If defendants cars
were held by brakes of the ordinary
kind and the brakes We're set in a man
ner to hold the cars where they We're
left. unless some one loosened them. the
plaintiff could not recover
The submission to the jury of special
issues is within the discretion of the
court

you can say and feel that you are

party is dead or insane, or cannot after
due diligence be found in the State.
The sole showing made by the prosecu-
ton in the case at bar going to the fact
of the death of the witness was in the
form of an affidavit made by his sister
to the effect that he was dead Held,
that the evidence introduced to show
the death of the witness was as much
a part of the trial as any other part of
it, and the fact that the witness was
dead could no more be shown by affi-
davit than the fact that dying declara-
tions could be shown by affidavit to
have been made under the sense of i'm
pending death, or that the contents of
a written document could be shown sup

ute says the fact Of death must be sat
