JUDGMENT AGAINST
RAILROAD AFFIRMED

The state supreme court yesterday af-
frrned the judgment of the district court
in the case OF Susie Lewis and Ienda NJ,
Lewis against the Rio Grande Western
railway,
The district court awarded Mrs, Lewis
and her daughter damages TO the amount
Of $500 for the death Of the husband
and ia ther. John s. Lewis, who was run
over by railway train and killed at
Lehi, July g. 1905. The accident occurred
at midnight while Lewis was walking
across the railroad track. There were
no witnesses TO the accident and the
body OF Lewis was not found until the
next morning.
Appeal was taken from the Judgment
Of the district court TO the supreme court
on the grounds. first, that the evidence
failed to show any negligence on the part
Of the railway company, and, second
that the evidence showed that Lewis
was guilty of contrlbutory negligence.
The opinion OF the supreme court
which was written by Justice McCarty,
in summing up. says: 'As the court
from the one arrived at by the jury on
this phase of the case would not be per-
mIssible under the evidence
In concurring In the opinion, Chiei
Justice F'rick said that his first impress
slons were that the evidence was of such
nature as unavoidaby led TO the con
clusIon that IL the deceased had eXer-
clsed ordinary care he could have avoided
the collision. Upon careful reading ol
the record. however, he had become enn :
vlnced that, under all the facts and cir
cumstances the question Of contributory
negligence was a question Of fact for the
jury.
