Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Railroads — Transportation of Stock — Statutory Speed Limitation — Interstate Commerce. The act requiring corporations and others operating railroads as common carriers to transport live stock within the state at a speed of not less than fifteen miles per hour, unless prevented by some unavoidable cause (Laws 1907, ch. 276), does not apply to nor affect interstate commerce; and a shipment of live stock between points in the state which passes for a short distance over the-territory of another state is interstate commerce, and noncompliance with the requirements of the statute in such a. ■shipment affords no grounds for recovery against the carrier.</p>
