In picking up The Commercial last

Has the Jackson Court OF Civil APP
peals joined the humane society? This
court in the case OF o. III. Clemmens
against the /. G. Railroad for damages
If three valuable head OF horses Grip
pied up on high trestle several months
past, has handed down ruling far
-eaching in our state. In handing
Town the decision we quote JudgeM.
VI. Neil as follows in Sundays Memphis
Appeal
II might appear trivial that an en-
,ineer would stop his train when fright
med live stock continue their course
Iown railroad track and approach
restle, but it appears to be better for
he engineer to stop his train few
minutes and get the live stock off the
rack rather than to have to stop half
Iour or more to clear ap the wreck or
xtricate the injured live stock from the
restle. The railroads, OF course, are
ommon carriers, carrying on an inn
'ortant business and performing salient
uties to the public; but even at that it
J better for the train to be stopped long
nough to run off live stock that has
cen frightened and continues TO run
-antically down the track.
I'm this case the court feels that it
as incumbent upon the engineer to
5op his train and in falling To do 50,
is employer, the railroad company,
i'll be held liable for damages. "
