of A. sewer are not in an enterprise
involving profit or loss and not SUP
jec. to the operation of the workmen s
compensation act, the supreme court
held today in affirming the Harper
county district court in the case OF ).
M. Redfern against the city OF An
thony.
When a sewer ditch caved in and
buried several workmen, Redfern was
directed by the contractor to aid in the
rescue work. While Redeem was seek
ing to aid the buried men, walls of a
ditch gave way and the workman was
injured. He brought suit under the
workmen's compensation act, but the
court held that he could not recover
under that particular provision of the
law. This view was held by the su-
preme court.
Manhattan Must Pay.
The supreme court today held that
the city of Manhattan must pay a
judgment rendered against it by a
Riley county district court for the

excavation where the city was laying
water mains.
Testimony showed that children in
the neighborhood played in the street
where excavations were being made.
heavy rain one night flooded the
street. The child, without the knowi-
edge of the parents as to dangers,
went wading. 1t fell in the excavation
and was drowned. In affirming a
judgment against the city of Manhat-
tan today the supreme court held:
when a city street which is little
used for travel and in which the chill
dren of the adjacent residents are ac-
customed to play. is torn up and with
excavations for laying a water main
and lateral connections and the ex-
cavations become filled with rain
water, it is the duty of the city to
exercise reasonable care to keep chill
dren from going into the street to
wade and play and thus to prevent
them from being drowned in such
flooded excavations"
The court found that the child was
not old enough to appreciate its re-
sponsibiiity in the matter and that
due caution had not been taken by
theHcity to prevent an accident.
Holds Surety Company.
A surety company which writes a
bond for a bank cashier must pay the
loss caused by any general fraud or
dishonesty on the part of the cashier.
This was the decision of the supreme
