NO REMEDY IN LAW.
Garnishse Failed 10 File Supplementary Affidavit
and Is Held Liable

The following rescript has been filed
by the appellate court in the case of
Isaac o. Van Duzer VIZ. Brodil & Kemp:
The agreed facts in this case do not
show that the garnishee failed to file
an affidavit of no funds. because of the
assignment referred TO by reason OF
accident or mistake. On the contrary.
the facts show that such failure was
wholly due To the negligence OF the
garnishee in not making a supplemental
affidavit setting forth the fact OF the
assignment by defendants. together
with the further fact that he had been
compelled To pay the defendants claim
against him in a suit in another juris-
diction. He had notice of the proceed
ings in the suit in Michigan I'm ample
time to have enabled him to bring the
fact TO the attention of the court, but
he failed TO do so, and he shows no eX-
euse whatever for such failure. And
being thus clearly in default, the law
affords him no remedy.

LEES SUIT
FOR $4,000.
Defendants Demurrer Sustained
by Appellate Court.
KILLED IN The RELIANCE MILL.
Frank Lee Was Caught by a Belt While at
Work and Wuun1 Around a Shaft.
ADMINISTRATOR ON ESTATE SUED.
Court Holds Defendant Entitled 10 More Definite
Statement as 10 What The Deceased Vas
Doing al Tine Of Accident

The defendants demurrer in tha suit
of James Lee, administrator on the es-
tate Of Frank Lee. against Reliance
Mills company was today sustained by
the appellate court Plaintiff sued to
recover $4,000 for the death of Frank
Lee. who while on oct. T. 1897, operating
a machine had his arm caught in belt
and his body drawn up and hurled vio-
lently against the machine on which
he was working.
The opinion i'm the case is as follows:
Per curriam. This is an action Of tres
pass on the care FOR alleged negligence
in failing 10 provide proper safeguards
TO protect its employers from injury by
its shafting and belts used TO operate
it's machines.
The defendants demur 20 the decla
ration, assigning as grounds for de-
murrer: That. so far as appears from
the declaration the plaintiffs intestate
was fully informed as TO his surround
ings and the condition of the betting
and continued TO work there without
objection and assumed the risk of in
jury; that the declaration does not set
forth in what way or manner the plain
tiff's intestate came into contact with
the belt. nor what he was doing or at
tempting to do at the time OF the acci-
dent.
we think that the first ground of the
demurrer is matter OF defence, and not
a matter to be set forth in the declara-
tion.
I'VE think that the averments OF the
first and second counts in the declara-
tion i'm substance that the plaintiffs ir-
testate was caught by the belt or shaft
ing, SO that his left arm was drawn i'll
to said shaftng or belt while the
same were running, are sufficiently pre-
else and definite as to the manner in
which the plaintiffs intestate came in
TO contact with the belt We think,
however. that the defendant is entitled
to more definite statement OF the
manner IN which the Plaintiff 8 iutes-
tate was engaged. J. C.. what he was do
ing at the time of the accident, than is
contained in the first count. Anr we
also think that the defendant is en-
titled to a more definite statement of
of what was tne proper and usual dis
charge OF duty OF the plaintiffs intes-
tate in the running OF the machine and
what. machine 10 was. than Is contained
IN the second count. The rules OF plead
ing require reasonable certainty in the
statement OF essential facts 10 the end
that the adverse party may be inform
cd OF what he called upon TO meet at
the trial. and IT, this end the allegations
should be a : precise and definite as the
nature OF the case will permit.
Demurrer sustained and case remit
ted TO the common pleas division for
further proceedings
