<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Death — Flagman at Highway Crossing — No Action against Railroad Company. Where a flagman stationed at a highway crossing to give warning of an unsafe condition of the track is struck and killed by a train, no action against the railway company on account of his death can be based on the failure of the enginemen to sound the whistle or to stop the train promptly upon being signaled to do so by torpedoes placed on the track. .</p>
