pgs 48-52
Conclusions of Fact. The evidence in the record shows without dispute the following facts: (1) That on the night of the 18th of May, 1902, Zeb Frugia, in the corporate limits of the city of Beaumont, Texas, while riding horseback towards his home, rode on appellant's railroad track, at a place generally used by the public with the knowledge and acquiescence of appellant, and he and his horse were struck, run over and killed by one of appellant's engines drawing one of its trains. (2) That an ordinance of said city makes it unlawful for an engineer or other persons in charge of a locomotive or train to run the same within its corporate limits at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour, and provides that any person violating the ordinance shall, upon conviction be fined not less than five nor more than one hundred dollars. Another ordinance of the city provides that any person who causes, permits or suffers any locomotive engine to run within the limits of the city at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour, or who causes, permits or suffers any locomotive, engine to run or move in the night time without having a headlight, or who shall cause, permit or suffer a locomotive engine or train to run at any time without causing the proper signals to be given, shall be fined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars. (3) That Jane Furgia is the widow, and the other appellees the minor children of the deceased.
The evidence is reasonably sufficient to show the following additional facts: (1) That appellant's servants operating the engine negligently failed to keep a lookout for persons along the railroad track where the deceased was struck by its locomotive; (2) that it negligently permitted the engine which struck deceased to be run within the corporate limits of the city of Beaumont at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour, and without a headlight; (3) that the concurrence of all or some of these acts of negligence was the proximate cause of Zeb Frugia's death; (4) that deceased was not a trespasser on appellant's track and was not guilty of negligence proximately contributing to his injury: and (5) that by reason of appellant's negligently causing the death of deceased, appellees, his surviving wife and children, sustained damages in the amount assessed by the jury.
