Opinion:
KORNEGAY, ,7.
This was an accident case originating near the city of Tulsa, Okla., where the highway crossed the track of the defendant railroad corporation.
The trial court took the case from the jury. There was some evidence of a failure to give warning: of the approach of the train that was sufficient to have taken it to the jury on tlie subject of primary negligence.
The case should have been submitted to the jury under proper instructions. The judgment of the trial court is accordingly reversed, with directions to grant a new trial.
