While so working, the mule was struck by a truck, operated by an employee of the State of Illinois, and died as a result of such injuries. An award is sought in the sum of One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00).\nThe claim is based upon the negligence of the driver of the State truck. No government is liable for the negligence of its employees in the absence of a Statute making it liable for such riegligence.\nMinear vs. State Board of Agriculture, 259 Ill. 549;\nBraun vs. State, 6 C. C. R. 104;\nSapp vs. State, 7 C. C. R. 90.\nIllinois has no such Statute.\nIf the loss complained of was caused by the negligence of the driyer of the truck, claimant\u2019s remedy is against the driver and not against the State.\nCooney vs. Town of Hartland, 95 Ill. 516.\nThe claim is denied and cause dismissed.",
