LOONEY, Justice.
About 11 o’clock at night, May 13, 1929, Doc Franklin Webster, Tom Webster, brothers, and Bowen Daniels, Doc’s brother-in-law, were killed about three miles south of Bells, in Grayson county, by coming in contact with the power line of the Texas-Louisiana Power Company, at a place where it was broken down by a stroke of lightning about 6 o’clock a. m. the same day. Mrs. N. E. Daniels, mother of Bowen, sued and recovered judgment against the power company, for $7,500 damages, on the theory that the company’s negligence caused the death of her son.
