¶1delivered the opinion of the court:
¶2Claimant was employed with his mule in construction work on State Aid Boute 7-14. 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).
¶3The 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.
