Appeal from á judgment of the superior court for Pierce county, Clifford, J., entered August 12, 1921, upon granting a nonsuit, dismissing an action for damages sustained through an obstruction in a street.

1Opinion of the CourtMitchell, J.

— Appellant sued a number of defendants to recover for personal injuries. The case has taken such a course that the only defendant who took part in the trial and that now remains in the controversy is the Georgetown Transfer Company, a corporation, respondent here. The case was tried before a jury and, at the conclusion of appellant’s proof, a non-suit was granted upon the motion of the transfer company that there was a failure of proof of any negligence on its part, and that it affirmatively appeared that the proximate cause of the injuries was the negligence of the plaintiff.
