Supreme Court of Arkansas April 24, 1916 (St. Louis Southwestern Railway Co. v. Ellenwood)

Hart, J.

W. O. Ellenwood sued the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company to recover damages for personal injuries which he alleges he sustained by reason of the negligence of the railway company while in its employment as yard master. The defendant denied liability upon the ground that it was not guilty of negligence and that the plaintiff assumed the risk.
