A decision by the circuit court of
appeals, the opinion being written by
Judge Thayer, was handed down
Monday, knocking Fred Brown, Il
lumberman, out Of u $4,000 verdict
against the Musser-Sauntry Land,
Lumber and Manufacturing company.
Brown got verdict in a jury trial in
the circuit court for Minnesota for
personal injuries while employed by
the defendant company in unloading
logs. He was given short-handled
AK, while the logs were twelve to
eighteen feet long and many times
were piled above his head. He had to
get close to the logs in his work, due
to the shortness of the ak, and was
hurt by logs falling upon him. The
court of appeals holds that Brown
was guilty of contributory negligence
in continuing to work with the short
AK while aware of his danger. He
had assumed the risk involved. The
judgment is reversed and verdict
directed for the lumber company.

career, but it was soon discovered, as
