    The facts pleaded in the original petition and second amended one are substantially the same, and the same cause of action is plainly set up in both, for which reason there is no merit in the contention that the cause of action is barred by limitation; the original petition having been filed within the two-year period.

  2. Freeman v. Huffman

    61 Tex. Civ. App. 200 (Tex. Civ. App. 1910)   Cited 3 times
    In Freeman v. Huffman, 61 Tex. Civ. App. 200, 130 S.W. 195, it was held that a person in undertaking to pass between cars to which was attached a live engine, without first notifying the engineer or persons in charge of the train of his intention so to do, was guilty of negligence, as a conclusion of law.

    Plaintiff's testimony was sufficient to raise the issue of discovered peril. Texas N. O. v. McDonald, 120 S.W. 494; Gulf, C. S. F. v. Miller, 35 Texas Civ. App. 116[ 35 Tex. Civ. App. 116]; Missouri, K. T. v. Sharp, 120 S.W. 264; Franklin Life Ins. Co. v. Villeneuve, 68 S.W. 203. Since under the uncontradicted evidence defendant's servants were operating the train along a public street in an incorporated town, and had sent for plaintiff and expected him to come from the mill on the south side of the track and cross to the north side to weigh the car of cake, they were charged with the duty of anticipating his presence on the track about or near the engine and cars, and if not (as we think they were) charged with the duty of keeping a lookout for him, certainly owed him the duty of giving the signal required by ordinance before moving the train.
