active. One half of the Montana clip

injury or death to such employees, the
railroad is not liable. The case was
that of Jefferson Sewell, a messenger
Of the Wells Fargo company, against
the Santa F'e. Sewell was killed in
wreck. The case was tried in Wyan-
dotte county. The district court there
held that the defendant was not liable.
The court said in part:
I'm relation to the carriage of ex-
act as in ordinary cases. AS to such
traffic the services they perform are
not done as public carriers, but under
a private contract. They are not bound
to such business at all. They do not
hold themselves out to the public as
engaged in that business. A contract
made between a railroad company and
ar express company under such cir
cumstanceS requires no supervision by
the courts and their interference with
it would be unjustifiable. The shipper
own interests and to resist the inposi-
ton of any ineQuitable conditions. The
agreement must therefore be upheld
The decision in this case is consider
ed one of the most important which the
court has rendered for long time. The
decision leaves express messengers, who
sign an agreement absolving the ex-
press company from any liability for
damages in case of injury, entirely
without protection. Neither the express
company or the railroad is liable.
The decision was rendered by d.
vided bench. Justices Johnston, Smith
and Graves dissented from the opinion,
which was written by Justice Mason.
Justices Mason, Porter, Burch and
Green constituting a majority of the
court, rendered the decision.
