New Iberia & Northern II. r., at the
road crossing on the l.. D. Broussard

any possible danger. The track IS
quite straight both sides of the place
where the fatal accident occurred for
Z considerable distance and he could
have easily seen the approaching car
had he looked. The man at the thrO-
tie on the motor Eeyer dreamed of the
possibility that the man ahead was un
CONSCIOUS of the approach Of the
car and expected him to leave the
track in ample time for his own safe
