COMPANY NOT LIABLE.
Supreme Court Holds It euiltless Of
Injuries Subsequent to Hurts.

Austin, Texas, Dec. 5.-The SUI
preme court yesterday reversed and
remanded the case of the Galveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway
company VS.. James Powers, from
Bexar county.
Powers was in the employ Of the
plaintiff in error, working with gang
of men on a new bridge over the
Brazos river. He and other men
were ordered by the foreman of the
gang to go upon the floor of the
bridge, which was suspended on false
works of considerable height, and
while engaged in his work Powers
fell into the water and received in
juries about the head and otherwise.
He recovered damages in the trial
court and the case was affirmed in
the court of civil appeals.
The attorney for the railroad COM
pany assigned error in the court of
civil appeals to the effect that the
court erred in not taking into consid-
GRAFTON a question as to whether the
injuries received would cause Powers
to become an epileptic. The supreme
court held that the court of civil ap-
peals erred in not considering this
assignment of error. After reviewing
the case the supreme court held that
railway company is not liable for
results which may occur in the fu-
ture from such injuries.

the executive board since the Texas
General Managers Association was
formed. His acceptance Of another
term is taken to mean by many of
those present yesterday that he will
again be in harness. That he is a
most capable railroad man is shown
by the development of the Interna-
