Syllabus
<p>Master and Servant — Assumption of Risks — Safe Place — Starting Machinery Without Warning. • An inexperienced employee directed by an acting foreman to lift up a bull chain used to drag logs from the pond, for the purpose of making repairs, does not assume the risks from the starting of the chain by the drag sawyer, as he had a right to assume that proper notice would be given the sawyer and the place kept safe by withholding further movement until the repairs were made.'</p> <p>Same — Vice Principals. A saw filer in a mill, who assumed the duties of foreman on a day when the latter was absent, must be held to be a vice principal until the contrary is shown.</p>
