Members of the legal fraternity who have
! interested in a decision of the Supreme
| Court of Nebraska, just handed down. in
| the case of the late Charles Sattler against
! the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific The
! court holds that a passenger on railroad
/ train does not lose his character as Such
\ by leaving his car at a regular station,
| from motives either of business or curios-
/ ity although he has not yet arrived at the
/ end of his journey. Where, however, the
i train in which the passenger is being trans
/ ported is run upon a switch to allow the
! passage of another train, or is stopped at a
/ place other than that used by the carrier
\ for receiving and discharging passengers,
| and the stopage is not for the purpose of
/ allowing passengers to board the train or
| alight therefrOm, one who leaves the train
must usually assume all the ordinary risks
/ incident to his action. Where passenger
| leaves his car of his own Volition for a
| purpose of his own not incident to the
| journey he is pursuing and at a place not
! designed for the discharge of passengers,
| he cannot claim the protection of the law,
| although the carrier may, under some ex-
/ ceptionaI circumstances, still owe him the
| duty imposed on it by the common law.
