The drysalter that mysterious

great fire a dealer in sailed or dry
meats, pickles, sauces. etc., but he no
longer drysalts, but sells instead drugs,
dyestuffs, colors and chemicals, and

due to the fact that the grocer and

they have mercifully left him the

has reversed the case of Mrs. Marie M.
Westby Of Madison, s. d., VS.. the

death Of her husband, an employe of
the company, who was accidentally
killed in the Madison yards of the COM
pany.
The railway company appealed, and
when the case was argued before the
federal circuit court of appeals the en-
ployes' liability act enacted by the leg
islature of South Dakota was attacked
