Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Street railways — Wagon and car — Rear end collision.</p> <p>In an action against a street railway company to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by a car running into the rear end of plaintiff's wagon, the case is for the jury where there is evidence that as the car rounded a curve, the motorman could not sand the track; that after the car passed around the curve, the trolley came off; that no explanation was made as to the cause of the trolley coming off; and that immediately after the accident the motorman said that the car was not fit to take out, and had so reported its condition at the car barn, but was ordered to take it out anyway.</p>
