1Opinion of the Court
Mr. Presiding Justice Freeman
delivered the opinion of the court.
It is contended in behalf of appellant that the deceased was guilty of contributory negligence, that there is no proof that he was injured in consequence of the collision of the cars upon which he was working with the car standing on track 7, that there is no evidence that the foreman of the crew to which the deceased belonged was negligent, that the foreman was not a vice-principal but a fellow-servant with the deceased, and that the court erred in instructing the jury as to the law relating to vice-principals.
