Opinion

Mr. Justice Thornton

delivered the opinion of the Court:

The only error assigned in this case is, that the evidence does not connect appellants with the injury.

The railway company was sued for killing the cow of appellee.

From the evidence in the record, there can not be even a reasonable doubt that the cow was killed by the train of appellants. Such is the fair, if not necessary, inference.

The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
