Opinion:
Plaintiff's exception to the dismissal of the complaint is sustained and a new trial granted, costs to abide the event, upon the ground that upon the evidence it was a question of fact for the jury whether or not the Aveak condition of poles Hos. 1, 2 and 3, due to defendant's negligence in maintaining them, was a proximate cause of their fall.
