This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court for Sarpy county. Plaintiff was the owner of a •traction engine, which was being driven by him along a public road in that county. In doing so, he had occasion to cross a bridge over one of the streams in the county, when the bridge broke' down, and the engine was precipitated into the bed of the stream some ten or eleven feet below, and injured by having some of its parts broken. The suit is for damage to the engine. The trial jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff, upon which judgment was rendered, and from which the county appeals. There is no contention that any of the instructions given to the jury were erroneous, or that the case was not fairly submitted to the jury in that regard.
The only contention is that there was no competent evidence as to the amount of damages, and that the court erred in permitting evidence as to what it cost to make the repairs necessary for the restoration of the engine to its original condition. The right of action is based upon
There was no error in the ruling of the district court, and its judgment is
Affirmed.
