No. 23,509.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\nCabbiebs, \u00a7 248 \u2014 when negligence in causing freezing of hogs in transit is not shown. In an action against a carrier for injury to a shipment of hogs, some of which were frozen in transit, evidence held to sustain a finding that no negligence on the part of defendant was shown, the damage being due to the intense cold which prevailed at the time and to delays in transit caused by the inclemency of the weather, and over which defendant had no control, and plaintiff having contributed in part by not furnishing more corn and straw to the stock while in transit, he having accompanied the shipment.\nAppeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Denis W. Sullivan, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 14, 1918.\nRehearing denied May 24, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Gr. W. Farrand, plaintiff, against Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, defendant, to recover for damage to a shipment of hogs. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals.\nStewart Reed Brown, for appellant.\nJ. N. Davis and Julius M. Lorenz, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
