The supreme court of Nebraska has
rendered a decision of great importance
to railroads. There is a law on the statute -
ute books of the state compelling engineers -
neers to whistle at every public highway -
way crossing , and on failure to do so the
railroad company is subject to a fine of
$50 , of which half goes to the informer.
As a consequence there are many informants -
formants , particularly among farmers ,
who make it a business to catch the en-
gineer. A man lets it go until he has a
number of cases and then goes to court.
The law has cost the Nebraska railroads
several small , fortunes and every suit
hitherto has resulted in favor of the
plaintiffs and against the railroads. The
supreme court has just decided the law
unconstitutional. J. H. Hale secured
judgment in the lower court against the
Omaha and Republican Valley , which is
a part of the Union Pacific , for $3,500 of
this whistling money , representing 700
failures to whistle , and it was appealed
to the supreme court and the law there
declared unconstitutional.
