Appellee brought this suit to recover the value of a mule killed by one of appellant’s engines at a road •crossing in Jefferson County.

It is assumed by both parties in the presentation of the case in this court, that the crossing was such as appellant had the right to leave open and unfenced, and we shall assume such to be the case, though the statement of facts leaves it somewhat open to question.

There is a conflict of evidence as to whether the whistle was blown by the engineer in approaching the crossing. The engineer does not claim that he rang the bell.

The omission to give the signals required by statute is negligence, which makes the company liable where injury to stock results. Railway v. Turner, 78 Mo., 578; Railway v. Reid, 24 Ill., 149. The evidence supports the verdict.

The allowance of interest on the value of the mule was error. Railway v. Mulrow, 54 Texas, 233.

The judgment will be reversed and here rendered for $100, found by the jury as the value of the mule, as appellee asks that be done if the allowance of interest is held to be error. The costs of the appeal are adjudged against appellee.

Reversed and rendered.
