Summary

In Matheson v. Railroad, 61 Kan. 667, the same result was reached in regard to the Missouri statute; and the statute of the same import of New Mexico was refused enforcement in Dale v. Railroad, 57 Kan. 601. It should be noted that these statutes differ materially from the Massachusetts statute in providing for the fixed sum of five thousand dollars as a forfeiture in all cases; the ides of compensation measured by any other rule seems to be excluded.
