Seeing the gates were up he drove on without stopping to look again, though his view was ob- structed, and he was struck on the second track. The Pennsylvania Su- preme Caurt held that he was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law; that a person who has entered on railroad tracks with a view to cross ing must continue to look and listen for approaching cars, and that the fact that the safety gates are not lowered at a crossing does not relieve driver from the duty of exercising ordinary care.-Kipp vs Central of New Jersey (Pa.) 10S Att. 175.
