1Opinion of the CourtHolt, J.
On the evening of February 24, 1914, plaintiff, while walking upon one of defendant’s streets, fell and broke her hip. In this action to recover damages, she alleged that defendant was negligent in the construction of the walk at the place where she fell, and that it negligently had permitted ice to there accumulate and remain in such form as to make it dangerous to pedestrians. The trial resulted in a verdict for plaintiff. This appeal is from the order denying defendant’s motion in the alternative for judgment or a new trial.
