Syllabus
<p>Masteb and Servant — Injury to Servant — Duty to Warn — Unknown Danger — Assumed Risks. Where an experienced man in clearing land fastened a chain to a log to be dragged by a team, without knowing that the end of the log was attached to the ground by the roots, causing the top to swing around and strike him while he was standing in the sweep of the top when the team started, the master owed no duty to warn him of the starting of the team; since he had an equal or better opportunity to know of the danger, which makes it one of the assumed risks of the business.</p>
