Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Railroads — Dangerous Crossing — Duty of Traveler — “Stop, Look” — Contributory Negligence. A traveler whose deafness prevented him from hearing the warning signals of an approaching train at a dangerous crossing with which he was familiar, drove upon the track and was struck by the train and injured. His failure to stop and look from a position where he could have seen the train in time to avoid the injury is contributory negligence which will prevent his recovery in an action against the railway company.</p>
