Opinion

Per Curiam,

In view of the testimony as to the viciousness of the mule which kicked plaintiff’s son, the negligence of the defendant company was for the jury. The contributory [35]*35negligence of the boy, nearly' fourteen years of age at the time he was killed, was also a question of fact. The ver diet was grossly excessive, but, in the exercise of his discretion, the learned trial judge, specially presiding, greatly reduced it. As it is not to be further interfered with, it is now affirmed.
