1Opinion of the Court
Woodward, J.:
This action was brought to recover damages alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff in being thrown from the front platform of one of defendant’s street surface horse cars through the negligence of the latter’s servant. The only material question presented upon this appeal is whether the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict upon the proposition of the defendant’s negligence. It is urged by the appellant that the evidence is insufficient to establish negligence in the operation of its car, and we are of opinion that this contention is justified.
