Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE. COURT.</p> <p>1. Compensation Act — Injuries—Result of Accident — Arose Out of Employment. The evidence showed, among other things, that a workman fell and was hurt while working at a long inclined table, and while standing on a wet inclined platform. Held, that, as against a demurrer thereto, the evidence was sufficient to show that the fall was accidental; that it was caused by the condition of the table and platform; and that the accident arose out of the employment.</p> <p>2. Same — Instructions—Construed as a Whole. Instructions are to be considered and construed as a whole, and, if not erroneous, when so considered and construed they will not be held bad because one of them, taken out of its connection, appears to be erroneous.</p> <p>3. Same — Instructions—Refusal—No Error. It is not error to refuse instructions which are fairly covered by those given. (Baugh v. Fist, 84 Kan. 740, 115 Pac. 551.)</p>
