Crossett Lumber Company v. Carter

The appeal is from two judgments, each for $750 — one to compensate personal injuries received by Mrs. J. W. Cater when, as a guest of Mrs. R. O. Brown, the automobile in which she was riding struck or was struck by a Crossett Lumber Company switch engine. The other judgment is in favor of J. W. Cater to compensate loss of his wife’s services and companionship, and for reimbursement of sums expended as a consequence of Mrs. Cater’s injuries.

The switch engine was being permissively operated on Missouri Pacific tracks 1 which traverse Crossett east-west.
