Description

This is a suit against Missouri Pacific Railroad Company for damages for personal injuries sustained by Charles L. Stevens
when an explosion occurred in a fire on the property of the railroad. From a judgment for $27,000 entered upon a jury verdict
in that sum the railroad has appealed. The petition alleged that while plaintiff was on defendant's premises in Sylamore, Arkansas, with the actual knowledge of
defendant, and while defendant's work crew was burning various materials and objects in a fire within a few feet of where
plaintiff was standing (the fire, materials and place where it was burning being under defendant's exclusive control) defendant,
by the carelessness and negligence of its employees, and without warning to plaintiff, "caused, permitted and allowed a sudden
and violent explosion in said fire which was of such a nature and character that it would not have happened except for the
presence of some unusual, dangerous and explosive substance; that the nature and character of such items are peculiarly within
the knowledge of defendant and are not known to plaintiff"; and that as as a direct result of defendant's negligence foreign
objects flew into plaintiff's eyes and body to his great injury.
