Heading: This and a separate case involving the same issue as here presented were argued and submitted to us on the same day.

Text: II. Simultaneously with the filing of this opinion our opinion in the aforesaid separate case of Wendelin v. Russell, Iowa, 147 N.W.2d 188, is being filed, in which we consider the applicable statutes and principles of law here involved. We there held the civil action of a person killed by an intoxicated person, under section 123.95, survives the decedent and may be pursued by his estate representative under and by virtue of sections 611.20 and 611.22. Our holding in Wendelin v. Russell, supra, is decisive of this appeal. III. The trial court erred in sustaining defendant's motion to dismiss division II of plaintiff's petition. This case must be reversed and remanded for entry by the trial court of an order overruling defendant's motion to dismiss. Reversed and remanded for entry of order overruling defendant's motion. All Justices concur except THORNTON, J., not sitting and STUART, J., taking no part.
