Syllabus

<p>Master and Servant. Injuries to servant. Duty to warn.</p> <p>Where a railroad company employed a negro boy about thirteen years old as a laborer on a ditching train, it being his duty to remove the dirt from flat cars, and the ditching train, having been unloaded, took a side track in order to allow a freight train to pass, the crew remaining where the dirt was unloaded, and when the freight train was passing the boy attempted to jump on the moving freight train and was injured. In such case the railroad company was not guilty of negligence in failing to warn him, as it had no cause to anticipate that the boy would jump on such passing train.</p>
