Syllabus

<p>(as) A township highway, unguarded by barriers, lay between two railroads the fills of which crowded it somewhat on either side. The plaintiff’s cattle, driven thereon, were frightened by a train on one railroad, and ran off upon the track of the other railroad, where they were struck by a locomotive and killed.</p> <p>1. In trespass against the township, the questions whether the defendant was negligent in not providing barriers, and whether the absence of the latter was the proximate cause of the injury, were properly submitted for the determination of the jury: West Mahanoy Tp. v. Watson, 112 Pa. 574, distinguished.*</p>
