Supreme Court of Iowa April 11, 1903 (Paul v. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co.)

Ladd, J.

At about sis o’clock in the morning of February 7, 1900, the defendant’s passenger train killed two of the plaintiff’s colts. They were kept on the farm of his brother, from whose barn yard about fifty yards north of the railroad, was a lane to a field on the south side of the track over a private crossing. On each side of this were cattle guards about forty feet apart.
