Description
George Bliss and others brought this action against Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Railway Company and the City of Beaumont for damages to their residential properties caused by flood waters. They alleged in their Second Amended Original Petition that, by reason of certain negligent acts and omissions on the part of Santa Fe, together with acts on the part of the City of Beaumont, flood water was caused to be diverted into their homes and thus brought about the damages complained of. City of Beaumont in its answer denied that it was in anywise negligent and alleged that whatever damages were sustained by the plaintiff were caused solely by the acts, conduct and omissions of Santa Fe and prayed that in the event plaintiffs recover against the City that the City have indemnity or contribution against Santa Fe. Likewise Santa Fe denied plaintiffs allegations of negligence and asserted that certain acts on the part of the City of Beaumont constituted negligence and that such negligence was the sole proximate cause of the damages to plaintiffs homes and the contents thereof, and prayed that it have judgment over and against the City of Beaumont for the full amount of any recovery against Santa Fe or in the alternative for contribution.
