1Opinion of the CourtBookhout, J.
A freight brakeman of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company of Texas, A. W. Neef by name, was injured in service at Mt. Pleasant, September 29, 1909. He sued, alleging that a loose stirrup on a box car was the cause of the accident, and predicating negligence on the failure of the defendant to have the stirrup firmly fastened. The defenses interposed were the general issue, contributory negligence, and assumed risk. A jury awarded him $12,000. Defendant’s motion for new trial having been overruled, it perfected an appeal.
