legal Llfe Of a Railroaa rikket.

II
A decision as to the Iife'of a railroad
ticket, which is attracting consider
able attention, has been rendered in
favor of the Southern Pacific Company
by the Civil Court of Appeals at San
Antonio. Texas. The court has de-
cided that a railroad ticket Which is
not used within reasonable time after
issuance. is barred by the statute of
limitation. The case arose outtof the
sale of ticket by the Southern Pacific
on April 20, 1885. The ticket was for a
trip from Houston to San Antonio. The
man who bought it died without using
it. Fifteen years later it was sold.
Late in 1899 it was offered to South
ern Pacific conductor. The latter re-
fused to accept it and the man refusing
to pay his fare was elected. There was
nothing irregular in the ticket or in
its purpose and transfer. In deciding
against the man in his damage suit for
ejectment, the court holds that sit was
never contemplated that the ticket
should be held for nearly half of an
average lifetime before it was pre-
sented for the purpose for which it was
purchased. The ticket held by the
appellant could Tot occupy any better
position as to the statute of Limitation
than a promissory note payable on
demand.-The Railway and Engineer
