Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. Co., 167 S. W. 433. Where trainmen negligently failed to maintain a lookout or give signals or slack or stop the train on approaching a crossing, and decedent was struck by the train at the cross ing, having negligently moved from a place of safety to one of danger when the train was so near that the accident could not be averted, the humanitarian doctrine was inapplicable, and the doctrine of concurrent negligence operated to defeat a recovery.-Id. A person who approaches a railroad crossing at an ordinary gait in complete control of his own movement is not in danger, within the humanitarian doctrine, until he takes the last few fatal steps, or is oblivious to his danger as to indicate a present intention to step on the track, and the engineer, seeing the person, may rely on the presumption that he will stop before stepping on the track before the approaching train until he discovers the contrary.-Id. § 348 (Mo.) In an action for the death of a person struck by a train at a crossing, evidence held not to justify a recovery under the humanitarian doctrine.-Keele v. Atchison, T. & S. F. Ry. Co., 167 S. W. 433. § 348 (Tex.Civ.App.) Evidence, in an action for injuries to an automobile in turning to avoid a locomotive at a crossing, held to show that the negligence of the driver in approaching at an excessive speed, in violation of Pen.

Evidence held to make questions for the jury as to whether railroad employés in cutting a train standing at a crossing left the cars so that they obstructed a part of the highway, and whether this caused injury to, plaintiff. -Harvey v. Illinois Cent. R. Co., 167 S. W. 875. Whether driver injured at a crossing while attempting to hold his horse, frightened at a standing freight train partly obstructing crossing, from backing onto the main track in front of a passenger train was negligent held a question for the jury.-Id. 8 351 (Mo.App.) In an action for the destruction of plaintiff's automobile by collision at a crossing, where the ordinance involved only required that defendant's flagman should "give timely notice of the approach of trains," an instruction that it was not only the flagman's duty to give the warning, but also to stop the train or the persons crossing the track or both. held error calling for a new trial.-Botts v. Chicago, B. & Q. R. Co., 167 S.

The question whether one struck by a train was a trespasser or a licensee while on the track does not depend on the fact that the accident happened in a city or incorporated town, but on the number of persons using the track at the place of the accident.-Chesapeake & O. Ry. Co. v. Dawson's Adm'r, 167 S. W. 125. § 381 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action for injuries to plaintiff by being struck by a train in a city railway yard, plaintiff held negligent as a matter of law.-Chicago, R. I. & G. Řy. Co. v. La Grone, 167 S. W. 7. $395 (Tex.Civ.App.) Where a licensee, while using a path near a railroad track, was struck by a piece of scantling hurled from a moving train and the negligence claimed was that the railroad company failed to remove the scantling from the floor of the car, evidence of the roughness of the track, which tended, with the motion of the train, to throw the scantling out of the car, was admissible.-St. Louis Southwestern Ry. Co. of Texas v. Balthrop, 167 S. W. 246. $398 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action for injuries to plaintiff's wife, hurt by a piece of scantling, which was thrown from a moving train, a finding that the railroad company was negligent in not discovering and removing the scantling from its car held justified under the evidence.St. Louis Southwestern Ry. Co. of Texas v. Balthrop, 167 S. W. 246. A finding by the jury that plaintiff's wife was struck by a piece of scantling thrown from a moving train, as she was proceeding on a path adjacent to the tracks, held not in conflict with the physical facts.-Id. § 400 (Ky.) Where a railroad track in a town of about 350 inhabitants was used daily by about 100 persons going to and from the depot, the question, whether a person on the track was a trespasser or a licensee, was for the jury.-Chesapeake & O.

Co. v. Blevins, 167 S. W. 886. $400 (Tex.Civ.App.) Where a licensee using a path on the right of way of a railroad com. pany was injured by the active negligence of the company, recovery cannot be defeated because there was another way over which she might have traveled; the question whether she was guilty of contributory negligence in selecting the path being for the jury.-St. Louis Southwestern Ry. Co. of Texas v. Balthrop, 167 S. W. 246. § 401 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action for injuries to a licensee who was struck while on the right of way of a railroad company by a piece of Scantling thrown from a moving train, an instruction on the negligence of the railroad company held not improper, as casting upon the company the burden of keeping its tracks in good condition for the benefit of licensees.-St. Louis Southwestern Ry. Co. of Texas v. Balthrop, 167 S. W. 246. (H) Injuries to Animals on or near Tracks. 8411 (Mo.App.) Rev.

W. 1160. $413 (Tex.Civ.App.) Where a railroad company assumed the duty of keeping in repair a gate which, for the benefit of plaintiff, it placed in the fence along its right of way, plaintiff is entitled to recover for the value of a mule which escaped because of defects in gate and was killed on the right of way.-Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas v. Withers, 167 S. W. 5. $413 (Tex.Civ.App.) One whose mule was killed on the right of way of a railroad company may recover, where it strayed through a gate placed by the company to afford access between two different farms owned by separate individuals, if the company did not exercise proper care to keep the gate closed.-International & G. N. Ry. Co. v. Humphrey, 167 S. W. 797. 8441 (Mo.App.) In an action for killing plaintiff's horse, alleged to have strayed onto the right of way by reason of a defective cattle guard, the burden is on plaintiff to show that the guard was insufficient and that such defect was the cause of the entry of the horse on the right of way. Miller v. Chicago, M. & St. P. Ry. Co, 167 S. W. 1160. § 443 (Mo.App.) That plaintiff's horse and two or three of its companions crossed defendant's cattle guard was not of itself sufficient to make out a prima facie case of insufficiency, but such fact, connected with proof of the construction of the guard, might be sufficient for that purpose.-Miller v. Chicago, M. & St. P. Ry. Co., 167 S. W. 1160. $ 446 (Mo.App.) In an action for killing plaintiff's horse, which strayed onto defendant's right of way over a cattle guard, evidence as to the construction of the guard held to require submission to the jury of the question of its ordinary sufficiency to turn horses.-Miller v. Chicago, M. & St. P. Ry. Co., 167 S. W. 1160. Where a cattle guard was so constructed as to give solid support to animals attempting to cross it, and there was nothing to repel an animal except its serrated surface, no amount of opinion evidence or proof of the adoption of the plan of such guard would establish, as a matter of law, that it constituted a performance of the company's duty to provide sufficient guards, as required by Rev. St. 1909, § 3145.Id. § 446 (Tex.Civ.App.) In an action for the value of a mule killed by one of defendant's trains, where there was evidence of defendant's negligence in the particulars charged, the question of negligence was properly submitted to the jury.-Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas (1) Fires. § 480 (Tex. Civ.App.) Proof that sparks escaped from a railroad engine and destroyed property by fire established a prima facie case of actionable negligence of the railroad company, and to escape liability it must show that the engine was equipped with proper spark arresters, and that the same were in good repair, and that the company exercised reasonable care to keep the same in good repair.-Texas & N. O. R. Co. v. Cook, 167 S. W. 158. § 485 (Tex.Civ.App.) Though a railroad company need only exercise ordinary care to equip its engines with suitable spark arresters, yet where, in an action for loss of property by fire set by sparks, there was no evidence by the company on that issue, it was not reversible error to charge that it was its duty to use suitable spark arresters.-Texas & N. O. R. Co. v. Cook, 167 S. W. 158. $52 (Mo.) Where, on a trial for rape of a child below the age of consent, the prosecutrix testified to the assault, and there were no facts rendering her testimony uncertain, a conviction was justified.-State v. Hughes, 167 S. W. 529. Though the testimony of prosecutrix on a trial for rape of a child under the age of con of prosecutrix to sustain a conviction should be convincing and leave the mind of the court free from doubt.-Id. § 52 (Tex.Cr.App.) The evidence amply showed that prosecutrix was under 15 years of age, where, though the year of birth was not named, it was fixed by an event the date of which was shown.

RATIFICATION. § 59 (Tex.Cr.App.) Where there was no evidence that the intercourse was by consent, and See Pleading, § 22. the court charged that, if the jury had a reasonable doubt as to whether prosecutrix consented, accused should be acquitted, refusal to charge that consent would be presumed until the state proved the contrary was proper.Burge v.

First State Bank's Receiver, 167 S. W. 678. While due consideration is given the affidavits of attorneys as to the fees to be allowed to an attorney, the court is not bound thereby, but will review the extent of the services and fix what it thinks is a reasonable fee under all the facts. -Id. RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS. I. RIGHT OF ACTION AND DEFENSES. §3 (Mo.) Where part of a description is inconsistent with other parts, and the remaining part is sufficient to designate the land, a remedy is afforded at law by disregarding the false description and giving effect to the other calls, and a resort to equity for the correction of the description is unnecessary.-Walker v.

W. 439. 8210 (Tenn.) While a receiver has no legal right to sue in a state other than that of his appointment, the privilege of doing so will be accorded, as matter of comity; the suit being neither inimical to the interest of local creditors, or of any one who has acquired rights under a local statute, nor in contravention of the policy of the forum.-Hardee v.

Dent, 167 S. W. 977. II. PROCEEDINGS AND RELIEF. § 44 (Mo.) Where a deed to a store building included 24 feet of the ground covered by an adjoining building retained by the vendor, the unquestioned possession by the respective parties to the line marked by the buildings measured their claim, and was evidence of their intention in a suit to reform the deed.-Fischer v. Dent, 167 S. W. 977. § 45 (Mo.) A reformation of a deed cannot be decreed on slight evidence, for the courts cannot deal lightly with the solemnly expressed terms of a written instrument.-Driskill v.
