1Opinion of the CourtWood, J.
The appellants instituted this suit against the appellees to recover damages to a wagon and team caused by a collision with a train of the railroad company at a public crossing south of Luxora, January 10, 1916. The pleadings are not abstracted, but appellants concede that the evidence was sufficient to sustain the finding in favor of the appellees on the facts. Appellants contend, however, that there was also evidence that would have warranted the jury in returning a verdict in their favor, and they insist that the court erred in granting and refusing prayers for instructions.
