that the administration of Gen. Otis is
one of the most tyrannical and rascally

legged to be damaged did not hold a
ticket.
Deceased was in a caboose of the
Rock Island Company, without busi-
ness or intention of becoming a passen-
ger. The caboose was struck by an in
coming train, under circumstances JUS
tifying the finding of negligence by the
engineer; but neither he nor any en-

road owed him no duty until it discov
