Supreme Court of Minnesota
Appeal by defendant from an order of the district court for Hennepin county, Hicks, J., presiding, granting a new trial after a dismissal ordered at the trial at the close of plaintiff’s case.
1Opinion of the CourtGileillan, C. J.
At Minneapolis plaintiff delivered to defendant, a common carrier, 18 horses, to be by it transported upon its railroad from Minneapolis to Ashland, Wis. The evidence tends to show they were in good condition when they were so delivered, and that in the course of transportation two died, and several others were injured. The action is to recover damages. On the trial, at the close of the plaintiff’s evidence, the court dismissed the action. On plaintiff’s motion it afterwards ordered a new trial, and from that order this appeal is taken.
