Company, corporation, appellant.
Syllabus: First-Defendant is a corpora
ton organized for the purpose Of manufac-
turing and dealing in lumber; buying, i'm
proving, selling and dealing in real estate
and personal property connected with its lum
bering business; and in addition thereto and
in connection Herewith, 1t owns and oper-
ates what is called logging railroad"
which is equipped with four locomotives and
q number of logging and box cars used in
carrying logs from the pineries to the saw
mills owned and operated by it. It does not
follow the business of a common carrier of
passengers and freight, the operation of the
road being limited exclusively to its own pri-
vate business; but it's servants and employees
engaged in the operation of its trains are
exposed to the same dangers and risks as are
employees and servants Of railroad corpora
lions engaged as common carriers. Held,
that general statutes, 1894, paragraph 27O1,
known the, "Fellow-servant aet.'' applies
to defendant, and it is liable to an employee
engaged in the operation of such railroad
for injuries caused by the negligence of a.
coemploye or fellow servant.
Second-In this action, one to recover dam
ages for personal injuries received by
brakeman in coupling cars on defendants
said railroad, the evidence received, on the
trial tended, to show that there was a gen.
eral custom in respect to the operation of
the road for the engineer when cars being
coupled came together, to Immediately stop
his engine and hold it stationary until sig
nailed to again move it by the brakeman
making the coupling. 1t further tended to
show that on the the occasion complained of,
this custom was not observed by defendants
engineer. in consequence OF which plaintiff
was injured 1t is held that the evidence
was sufficient to require the submission Of
the case to the jury, and to sustain in their
verdict to the effect that such custom ex-
listed, and that the engineers failure to fol-
low and observe it at the time complained of
was the proximate cause of plaintiffs injury
l. Third-=Evidence examined and considered
and held. to sustain the verdict of the jury
