PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the district court of Yellow Medicine county, state of Minnesota, entered in favor of plaintiff and against defendant in an action brought by the plaintiff, A. D. Schendel, as special administrator of the estate of Edmund Ludwig Ring, deceased, to recover damages because of pain suffered by decedent, from the injuries complained of, before his death, and because of damages and loss suffered because of the death of the decedent resulting from such injuries. The action is based upon two acts of Congress, one known as the Employers' Liability Law (U. S. Comp. St. §§ 8657-8665), and the other known as the federal Safety Appliance Act (U. S. Comp. St. § 8605 et seq.) The questions presented are those decided by this court on an appeal by the defendant from an order denying the defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial, which decision of this court was filed in this court April 17, 1924. Following the decision in that case the judgment hereinbefore referred to is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
