STANLEY, Commissioner.
The appeal is from a judgment for $10,-000 against the appellant, L. & N. Railroad Company, for the death of Marshall Trout-man, who was killed at a grade crossing in a village in Harlan County which the record calls both Lejune and Shields. The appellant contends the trial .court should have directed a verdict in its favor because of absence of evidence of negligence or because of conclusive proof of contributory negligence. Alternatively, a reversal is claimed because of error in giving an instruction concerning an extrahazardous or exceptionally dangerous crossing.
