Syllabus

<p>Railroads. Frightening stock. Negligence.</p> <p>An engineer in charge of a running train, is not required to stop merely because he sees animals near the track; and running along it. He is only required, to do what is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances. Under the facts in this case as shown in the opinion of the court, a peremptory instruction should have been given for the defendant.</p>
