SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
johnson vs.. City Of Fargo.


1. The notice of injury on street
or sidewalk of city, provided for by
Section 2172, Revised Codes of 1899,
presented to the proper city officials
in this case, is not insufficient or
fatally misleading when it describes
the place of injury as about thirty
feet from fixed point, when it is
only twenty-four feet therefrom.
2. Whether wire attached to a
stringer at the outer edge of side
walk or to stakes driven in the street
very close to the sidewalk and ex-
tending along the sidewalk to the ton
OF a fruit booth, six feet higher than
the sidewalk and eight feet from the
place where the wire is attached to
the stakes or sidewalk is an obstruc-
ton on the sidewalk, is a question of
fact for the jury.
3. Whether a plaintiff is guilty of
contributory negligence, and wheth-
er city is guilty of negligence in per-
hitting an obstruction to continue on
sidewalk, are ordinarily questions of
fact for jury.
