COVER DAMAGES FOR HIS DEATH
CAUSED BY HIS BEING STRUCK
BY THE BRIDGE.
The deceased brakeman had been en-
ployed by another railroad company
prior to his service with the defendant
and when he made application to de-
PENDANT for work was given Il free pass
over the part of the road on which
the accident happened ana requested to
inform himself of his duties and the
character of the road. He was full age.
with no defect OF sight or hearing. He
frequently passed under the bridge
which struck him. by day and by night,
safely III the discharge Of his duties. on
the occasion OF the accident he was
struck on the head by the sill on the
west side Of the bridge. having already
passed safely under three other stills OF
the bridge the train moving i'm a weS-
terly direction. He stopped or lowered
his head under ii and raised il just be-
fore he got from under it.Nhen struck
he attempted to descend by the steplad-
crd ana fell from the car
across the track and was kill
ed. The bridge was danger
Gus one. being only 2S3s inches above
the car. and its dangerous character
was known to the company and to the
brakeman. Its danger could be avoid
cd by STOPPING low enough. as the
brakeman had previously done. The
whistle FOR brakes had just been sound
