Washington, July 1929. The Supreme Court refused to decide if a flood washing out a railroad section qualifies as an act of God. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway argued it was, seeking damages for brakeman Carl E. P. Henkel who died near Tekamah, Nebraska on July 14, 1929. The lower court ruled otherwise, and the Supreme Court let that decision stand.
