<p>Carriers — Loss of dog — Evidence—Case for jury.</p> <p>In an action against an express company to recover for the death of a bulldog, the case is for the jury, where the evidence shows that the animal was delivered to the carrier in a healthy condition, and protected in a strong, well-ventilated crate of ample size; that at destination the dog was found to be dead with no external evidences of the cause, it having been apparently asphyxiated; that the crate was smashed at one end; and that the defendant had started an investigation to determine the cause of death, and had abandoned or failed in determining it.</p>
