Wills, Circuit Judge.
This writ of error was taken to a judgment for damages for live stock killed on a railroad. The verdict found the value of one animal to be $75.00, and of two others to be $45.00 each. The judgment awards double damages for the first and actual damages for the other two animals, and allowed $47.50 as attorney-fees. The statute in one class of cases allows the recovery of double damages and all costs, “which costs shall include a reasonable attorney’s fee, said fee to be determined by the court.” Sec. 1, Chap. 5214, Acts of 1903, S'ec. 2875, Compiled Laws, 1914. -
