Syllabus

<p>1. Master and Servant — Injury to Servant-Contributory Negligence.</p> <p>An employé, part of whose employment was to see to everything being kept in order about a sawmill, cannot complain that the lantern by which he was doing his work was smoky and gave but a dim light. If such was the case, the fault was his own.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 34, Master and Servant, §§ 710-714.]</p> <p>2. Same — Warning by Master.</p> <p>Where the danger is manifest, and incident to the work, and the employé is of 'sufficient age and intelligence to appreciate the risk, the employer is not required to give any special warning, as, for instance, that the hands or the clothing of the employé may get caught in the moving machinery at which he is employed.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see Cent. Dig. vol. 34, Master and Servant, § 310.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
