Syllabus

<p>STREET RAILROADS — INJURY TO CHILD ON TRACK — EVIDENCE.</p> <p>1. A street railway company will not be held responsible for the death of a child 2% years old which has suddenly and unexpectedly run upon the track 5 to 10 feet ahead of an electric car moving rapidly through a narrow street.</p> <p>2. In such a case, the fact that the car was not brought to a full stop within as short a distance as the evidence shows it is possible to bring such a car to a full stop is insignificant, in view of the fact that, even if it had been done, the fatal result would not have been avoided.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
