    Appeal from Fannin County Court; Rosser Thomas, Judge.
    Action by Ben Stevens against the Texas & Pacific Railway Company. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.
    Affirmed.
    J. F. Holt and Head, Smith, Hare & Head, all of Sherman, and Geo. Thompson, of Dallas, for appellant. Cunningham & McMahon, of Bonham, for appellee.
   HODGES, J.

The appellee sued the appellant to recover damages in the sum of $250, alleged to be the value of an animal injured in a collision with one of appellant’s trains. The facts show that the animal was killed in the corporate limits of the city of Bonham, near the passenger depot. After a trial before a jury, a judgment was rendered in the appellee’s favor for $200.

Appellant insists that the testimony was insufficient to support the verdict and judgment, and that the court should have giveu a peremptory instruction directing a verdict for the appellant. We have carefully examined the evidence, and think the assignment should be overruled. There was evidence upon which the jury might base a finding of the negligence alleged.

The remaining assignments of error are without merit, and are overruled.

The judgment is affirmed.
