Opinion
No. 229.
Argued March 17, 1896. Decided April 20, 1896.
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern Railway Company v. Skottowe, 162 U.S. 492, affirmed and followed.
Mr. John M. Thurston, (with whom was Mr. John F. Dillon on the brief,) for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Alfred S. Bennett for defendant in error.
THE case is stated in the opinion.
This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon, alleging error in the judgment of that court in affirming a judgment of the circuit court of Washington County in that State, wherein Francis Conlin, the defendant in error in this court, recovered damages for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the Oregon Short Line and Northern Railway Company, plaintiff in error.
The only question presented for our consideration is, whether there was error in denying the petition of the defendant company for removal of the cause into the Circuit Court of the United States. The record discloses a similar state of facts and allegations to that considered in the case, just decided, of The Oregon Short Line and Northern Railway Company v. Jane Skottowe. For the reasons there given, we find no error in the judgment of the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon, and it is accordingly
Affirmed.
