The plaintiff was riding in a caboose. A stationary seat had been provided around the side of the ear for the accommodation of passengers, but the plaintiff, at the time of the accident, was sitting in a chair. The caboose was a part of a train standing upon the track. Other cars, somewhat heavily loaded, were brought upon the track to be coupled to the part of the train which included the caboose. The moving cars were thrown back with such force against the standing cars that the plaintiff, while sitting in a chair In the caboose, was thrown against the stove, and received an injury upon the nose, which is the injury for which the action is brought.
We see no error, and the judgment must be
Affirmed.
