1Opinion of the CourtJustice Dabbert
A car operated by appellant collided with the rear end of a wagon driven by appellee. He was thrown backwards from his seat, his body striking-on coal and the handle of a fork in the wagon bed. He brought suit to recover damages for the injuries sustained. The usual questions in actions of this character, viz., the negligence of defendant, and the contributory negligence of plaintiff, were in issue. The trial resulted in a verdict for seven thousand, five hundred dollars in favor of plaintiff, upon which judgment was rendered. The defendant appeals.
