1. While the evidence of the defendant was sufficient to rehut the presumption of negligence which arose on proof of the killing of the animal by the operation of defendant’s train, there was evidence on the part of the plaintiff tending to show that the company was negligent at the time of the killing. The question whether the company was negligent was for the jury. There was sufficient evidence to support the verdict.
2. If there was any error in the charge complained of, it was not, under the facts of this case, sufficient to disturb the verdict.
