<p>INJURY TO EMPLOYÉ — FELLOW SERVANT — DANGEROUS APPLIANCES — APPEAL—INCREASE OP DAMAGES.</p> <p>1. The employe who obeys the order of the manager ’ of his employer, and who does necessary work in defendant’s service, is not to be considered, in a legal sense, as one who was engaged in work beyond the scope of his employment.</p> <p>2. The employé is not the fellow servant of the manager of the master. Moreover, the plea was not specially urged.</p> <p>3. An inexperienced employe should not be sent to do work where there is danger without instruction enabling him to guard against danger.</p> <p>4. Pipes about the mill, subject at time to heavy pressure from escaping steam, should be screwed on the boilers with special attention and care.</p> <p>5. The manager who had given the order did not testify. He was in charge of the plant.</p> <p>6. The answer to the appeal, asking for an increase of the judgment, must be filed three days before argument.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
