<p>Negligence — Railroads—Infant—Case for jury.</p> <p>In an action against a street railway to recover damages for the death of a boy ten years old, the case is for the jury where the evidence tends to show that at the place of the accident the defendant company maintained a siding on a paved sidewalk midway between the curb and the building line; that at the time of the accident there were freight cars standing on the siding with a space of six or seven feet between two of them; that the deceased on his way to school, ran, in play, into the space between the cars, when a shifting engine suddenly forced one car against the other without any signal or warning, killing the boy.</p>
