## Opinion text

HARDY, J.
On January 26, 1915, an opinion was filed herein, reversing the case for the reasons stated in said opinion. In the opinion it was held that the item of $100 for attorney’s fees, and $25 for loss of time and money in defending suit, were proper elements of recovery, holding that the item of $2,500 for loss of building, and $175 for money contracted and paid for work in its removal, were not proper elements of recovery. Upon handing down this opinion on February 6, 1915, defendant in error files his petition for rehearing and offers to remit all claims for damages, other than the item of $100 for attorney's

fees and $25 for expenses and loss of time, and prays that upon rehearing the judgment appealed from be modified and affirmed.
The verdict of the jury fixed the amount of the attorney’s fees at $100, and there is evidence reasonably tending to support this finding; and it is alleged in the petition for rehearing, and not controverted, that the evidence is uncontradicted as to the item of $25 for expenses and loss of time. TJpon the offer of defendant in error to remit amounts recovered in-excess of this, we are of the opinion that the order reversing this cause should be set aside and the judgment appealed from be modified and affirmed.
