O'n Rehearing.
Appellant by written motion and oral argument urges that we erred in the disposition of a number of its assignments. In deference to counsel’s earnest insistence and because Chief Justice CONNER was absent at the time this case was submitted on original hearing, and at the time of the rendition of a judgment of this court, and because the other members of the court were desirous that the *1043questions presented in tMs case should be passed upon by the entire court, at the submission of the motion for rehearing counsel for appellant was granted an extension of time, so that he might present in detail his contentions that the court erred in the former disposition of the appeal. 'Since then the full court has given the case a careful reconsideration, taking up each assignment, noting the evidence, and examining the authorities relied on, and it is our opinion that the conclusions reached by the court on original hearing are sound, and that the judgment should not be disturbed. We might add, with reference to the first and second assignments of error, that there is nothing in the record to show that the 623½ acres burned was not more valuable than other portions of the 7,369 acres in pasture. This is noted as a further reason for our conclusion that no reversible error is shown in the action of the court in sustaining the objection of appellees to the testimony of K. N. Hapgood, to the effect that he had rendered the 7,369 acres, for the year 1914, at a stated value of $41,065.11. In fact, there is some proof in the record that the grass on this 623½ area was even better than that on other portions of the larger tract.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
