Kossuth or P street in the city of Oskaloosa runs north and south, and crosses Third avenue at right angles. Defendant’s railway is laid upon Kossuth street. The track is placed upon a considerable embankment, the height of which across Third avenue is 9 or 10 feet. Plaintiff’s property is in the angle formed by the two streets. Her lot fronts on Third avenue, and is 60 feet east of Kossuth street. The cause of action set up here is for the obstruction of Third avenue, and because surface water has been turned by the railway embankment back upon plaintiff’s property. She claims that no adequate crossing has been provided over Third avenue, and that the natural flow of the surface water has been obstructed.
