Syllabus

<p>INJURY TO EMPLOYÉ — DANGEROUS PREMISES— PROXIMATE CAUSE.</p> <p>1. Though a railroad company be remiss in failing to take proper steps for securing the-safety of its employés by blocking the guard rails in a dangerous railroad yard, that fact will not warrant the court in rendering a judgment for damages against it for personal injuries received, unless that remissness was the-proximate cause of the injury received in the particular case.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
