If The employer furnishes the op-
erative a machine, strong, in good re-
pair and without dangerous features
not visible to an observing operator
or made known to him and such as the
employer should have known, he, the
employer, discharges his full legal du-
ty to the operative in that respect. He
car otherwise use machines of such
pattern, detail of construction, and
roug,lness of finish as he prefers, leav-
iEg to the operative free choice to op-
crate the machine or not as he prefers
2--'rhe employer of an operative up
on a machine is not legally obliged to
have the set screws upon the machine
so countersunk or otherwise fixed as
to remove all danger from them, pro-
vided they are plainly visible to an OBJ
serving operative.
3-An operative undertaking to op-
crate a particular machine, without
+tipulation to the contrary, assumes
the risk of injury not only from those
features of the machine called to his
attention, but also those open to OBJ
servation. 1t is the duty of the opera
tive to acquaint himself with, at least,
all the visible features of the machine
before undertaking it's operation
Am operatives ignorance of set
screws in the machine does not relieve
him of the risk of danger from them
where they are plainly visible and
easily seen.
5--In this case the set screws pro-
iecting five-eighths of an inch above
the surface of the collar on the small
Shaft. were plainly visible to an OBJ
serving operative being near and in
front OF a window The female opera
tive of mature years had operated the
machine in that condition for 19 years
during which time she cleaned the ma
chine about the set screws and the
floor under them at least twice
week. Held, that she was chargeable
with knowledge of the set screws and
not having stipulated to the contrary
had assumed the risk Of danger from
theIn.
6--Although the female operatives
had the duty to pick up articles as
tney fell to the floor under the shaft
hearing the set screws, she neVerthe-
less undor the circumstances above
stated assumed the risk of her hair
becoming entangled in the set screws
and cannot recover for any injury re-
sulting therefrom Being chargeable
with knowledge of the screws, she is
also chargeable with knowledge OF the
obvious danger of injury if she allow
ed her hair to become entangied IN
them.

complete justification under the war
rant, 1t was the duty of the defendant
10 seize all the liquors he found on
BOARD the vessel. Nothing appeared
upon the face Of the warrant in any
way indicating that the liquors de-
scribed therein We're commodities of in.
terstate commerce.
Upon the facts here presented, the
plaiptilf's first ground of complaint is
without merit. There is nothing in tha
interstate commerce law that renders
intoxicating liquors immune from
SEIZURE and we are aware or no de-
cislon that so holds, when however.
upon hearing it appears that they are
articles of interstate commerce, thew
must be returned
It Is also a rule of law too well es-
tabllshed to now require discussion
that for reasons founded on public
policy and in order to secure a prompt
and effective service of legal process
the law protects it's officers in the per
formance of their duties, if there is no
defect or want of jurisdiction appar-
ent on the face Of the writ or warrant
under which they act.
The PLAINTIFFS second proposition is
that the defendants warrant, if in 9TH
er respects justification, failed in this
tlat the act of the Legislature creating
ne Enforcement commissioners, vested
in them authority only, ''in the en-
forcement Of the law against the man.
ufacture aid sale of intoxicating liq-
uors, onltting to give them any au-
thorlty against the keeping of intoxi-
eating liquors, an offence specified in
Sec. 47, r. s., Chapter 90" We think
this contention is equally untenable..
The third ground upon which the
plaintiff seeks to hold the defendant
for damages in trespass is based upon
the fact that the defendant i'll serv-
ure of all the liquors upon the vessel,
which came to his notice
The omission of the officer to take
the small package should be regarded
as a mere incident. when considered in
connection with the actual seizure of
500 gallons Of Intoxicating liquors un-
der his warrant The duty of the off
Ger to seize this comparatively insig-
nificant quantity must be held to have
been intended to be waived by the
plaintiff by virtue of his own state
friend.
Neither public policy nor private
right requires that the defendant in
the case at bar should answer in dam
ages to the plaintiff for performing an
act in compliance with the plaintiffs S
assent.

place they harvested a fine crop
that year and seed grain raised that
year produced good crop the next
season showing that the grain had
fully matured before the storm.
Miss Garrett has resided here 80
years and is not willing to admit
that crop failure has ever occurred
upon the farm of farmer who
knew how to farm. She says that
a few pieces of grain that failed to
ripen before the storm were partial
failures but most the farmers had
good crops though on account of
the grain being down, harvesting
was very difficult.
