Supreme Court of Minnesota June 10, 1896, Nos. 9978-(127) (Flanaghan v. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co.)

COLLINS, J.

This was a fire case, in which plaintiffs had a verdict. It was alleged in the complaint, and claimed on the trial, that the fire in question was started by sparks and coals thrown from and scattered by one of defendant’s locomotives while it was being carelessly and negligently operated along defendant’s line of railway.
