OUGHT TO KNOW
MULE IS VICIOUS
QUEER DECISION RENDERED BY A
KANSAS CITY COURT-CANNOT
PLEAD IGNORANCE.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS


Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. lo.-Thc Kan
sas City court of appeals today decided
that mule is a treachcrous and vicious
animal, and that so known is the fact
that il a workman is injured because OF
those traits OF disposition in the mule the
employer cannot plead ignorance OF the
mules nature as a defense.
This decision was made in the case of
Pete Borden against the Falk Construc-
tion company. Borden worked for the
company, which was laying street railway
tracks here. He went beneath heavy
machine on wheels to hook chain.
span of mules was hitched to the ma
chine, and while Borden was beneath il
the driver Of the mules left them and went
beneath the machine to help Borden
lhereupon the mules started and one of
the machines wheels ran over Borden's
foot and crushed it, He sued the Falk
company and obtained judgment that was
affirmed today by the court Of appeals,
which says:
The superintendent Of this company
ordered the teamster to leave the team and
assist Borden beneath the wagon. The
mule is a domestic animal whose treacher-
ous and vicious nature is so generally
known that even the courts may take no
tice of it. The company cannot be heard
to claim that it did not know the treach-
erous and unreliable qualities Of this ami
NAL. 1t seems to us that the defendant
was guilty of the grossest negligence in
ordering the teamster to assist Borden.
Any man of ordinary prudence under such
circumstances would have not only placed
himself in front Of the mules, but he
would, with his hands, have firmly Crap
pied and held the bride bits Of each
of them"
