Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. of Texas v. Ward
Opinion of the Court
This is an appeal from a judgment in favor of appellee against appellant for the value of a horse killed through the negligence of appellant’s servants. The only issue raised by the evidence was whether or not the servants of appellant left unlatched and open a gate in appellee’s pasture fence, which- enabled the horse to leave the pasture and stray on appellant’s railroad track, where it was struck and killed by a passing train.
The evidence, although circumstantial, was sufficient to authorize and sustain the jury’s finding in favor of appellee on this issue, and appellant’s assignments of error asserting that it was not, are overruled.
Finding no error in the record requiring a reversal of the judgment, it is affirmed.
Affirmed.
