(No. 1975.)

Appeal from District Court, Cass County; H. F. O’Neal, Judge.
Action by W. D. Philpot against the Texar-kana & .Ft. Smith Railway Company. Judgment for plaintiff, and .defendant appeals.
Affirmed.
King & Estes and C. A. Wheeler, all of Tex-arkana, for appellant. Hugh Carney, of Atlanta, for appellee.

Opinion:
HODGES, J.
This appeal is from a judgment in favor of the appellee for the sum, of $190 as the value of two colts killed upon appellant's right of way and the attorney's fees allowed by- law in such cases. It is conceded that the evidence shows that one of the colts was killed in a collision with one of the appellant's railway locomotives, but it is contended that the other was not, and for that reason the court should not have rendered judgment for the value of both animals. An examination of the record justifies, we think, the -conclusion that both of tlie animals were struck by the appellant's locomotive; and we cannot say as a matter of law that the judgment was improper.
It is therefore affirmed.
