Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>One who heedlessly attempts to cross ahead of a car, properly manned, if injured, has no one to blame but himself.</p> <p>The motorman was not at fault and none of the negligence charged by plaintiff was shown.</p> <p>He exercised reasonable care to avoid the injury. He paid proper attention, saw the danger, and gave notice or warning and did all he could to stop his car.</p> <p>There was nothing out of repair about the car or the track, nor anything lacking to increase the danger in which plaintiff, the testimony shows, placed himself.</p>
