Syllabus

<p>MASTER AND SERVANT — PERSONAL INJURIES— PROXIMATE CAUSE — CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE — EVIDENCE—SUEEICIENCY.</p> <p>1. An employé seeking to recover damages from his employer for injuries received by himself while in his employ must not only establish affirmatively fault on the part of the employer, but connect this fault with the injury as being its cause. In this case the injury was shown to have been entirely occasioned by the employe’s own fault.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
