Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Co. v. Williams

FINLEY, Associate Justice.

On March 25, 1896, appellee filed his original petition. On June 1, 1896, he filed his first amended original petition, and sought to recover damages of appellant by reason of appellee being injured while at work on a coal chute in Denton, Texas. It was alleged by plaintiff in his petition that the bents of such coal chute were improperly and negligently braced, and that one Ed Fink, who was the foreman of appellant in charge of such work, negligently instructed appellee as to the performance of such work, and failed to use proper care to protect appellee from danger.
