First-Carriers-Duty of to In

that a passenger is drinking. or I'M
der the influence of liquor, is not
enough to put upon trainmen the ex.
ira duty of giving him more care

measure of duty is only demanded
when the passenger. is in a helpless
condition or incapable OF taking care
of himself.
II a passenger, on account of in
toxication that does not produce
helplessnes or incapacity, is render
ed less capable than he would other
wise be of protecting himself from
accident or injury, or his condition
induces him to become more indif
ferent to his safety, yet he must take
the CONSEQUENCE of his own reck-
lessness, and the company will not
be charged with the duty of taking
especial care OF him.

When Duty to Protect Attaches
