Bailey v. Black Mountain Railway Co.

Peb Cubiam.

Tbe plaintiff, who was 73 years of age, and deaf, attempted to cross tbe track of defendant at a public crossing near Mica-ville.. In describing tbe manner of bis injury, plaintiff said: “I never paid much attention, but I looked up tbe road, and I went to step up on tbe road and didn’t know anything then. . . . When I was within five feet of tbe cross-ties I could see down tbe track . .' . about 200 feet. . . . I wasn’t paying much attention, and I expect I couldn’t bear that noise made by tbe engine pushing those ears around that curve, up grade. I reckon I didn’t look that time…
