Opinion

CRITZ, Judge.

This suit was filed in the district court of Pecos county, Tex., by Dan Bihl for himself and on behalf of his wife, against the Texas-Louisiana Power Company for damages on account of the death of their minor son, Eugene Bihl: Trial in the district court, where the ease was submitted on special issues, resulted in a verdict and judgment for Bihl for $9,000. On appeal to the Court of Civil Appeals, this judgment was reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial. 43 S.W.(2d) 294. Both- parties applied to the Supreme Court for writ of error, and both applications were granted.

It appears from the record that the deceased, at the time of his death, was a bright boy about 11 years of age. On May 13, 1929, he climbed an electric light pole belonging to the power company, and on coming in contact with the electric wires carried near the top thereof was electrocuted. Such fact forms the basis of this suit.

There are several photographs of the pole involved in this suit contained in the statement of facts, and, as the pole itself, and its equipment, must constitute the basis of Bihl’s recovery we deem it expedient to here reproduce one of the above-mentioned photographs:
