BADLY INJURED

Mrs. Scott Hewins of this city was
badly cut about the face and head
and bruised about the body Saturday
afternoon, when the sedan in which
she was riding left the road near
Seven-mile brook in Riverside and
rolled over three times, coming to a
stop within ten feet Of the brook.
Mr.. Hewins, who was also in the car,
received a badly lacerated ear and
painful bruises about TIE body, while
Daniel Hewins and George Hewins,
their two sons. were uninjured.
The accident occurred upon Lees
hill. as 1t is known, which is on the
northern slope of the gully through
which runs Seven-mlle brook. Tie
HewtnS car was returning to this
city from Waterville about 40 Sat-
urday afternoon and was descending
the hill when the accident occurred.
The car was coasting down the in
cline and at the foot OF the hill near
ly on the bridge that spans the brook
was . two-horse team. Coming down
the other hill was another auton1o-
bile, and it became necessary to step
the Hewins car to avoid collision
with the other auto or the team.
The, road was slippery from recent
rains and when the brakes were ap-
piled the car began to skid and be-
came manageable. 1t went off the
right hand side of the road into a
field and rolled completely over side
ways. turning over three times and
finally coming to stop within ten

An automobile which was follow

general hospital. where she remained.
It was necessary to take several ST.

LAW COURT lFFIRMs
DECREE FOR SHOE
Sh or EmPLOyE

The law court Saturday handed
DOWN a rescrtpt In the AndroscoeRfn
county case OF Eva n. HeaIey. an
missing the appeal of the defendant
and affirming the decree.
Eva N. Healey. employe OF s.the
Dingley- Foss Shoe Company sus-
tanned personal injuries while work
Ing IN her employment, the cause be-
Ing that fellow employee snatched
the chair In which she was seated.
whereby she dropped to and forcibly
upon the floor.
Miss Healey and her employer ax-
reed concerning the payment Of COM
Dsnsation for an indefinite period,
The agreement was approved by the
LABOR commissioner, and In conse-
quence became Of the same effect as
the judgement of q court Payments
were made hereunder for a time.
Then the employers insurance carri-
er informed Miss HeaIsy that IL
would make no further payment.
She, after somewhat more than
three years, asked for execution to
enforce collection of the compensa :
ton in arrears. But the request was
never pressed, seemingly by annie
able arrangement. pending dstermi-
nation on the employers petition Of
whether claimants accident result
ing tncapacity to work had ended.
Upon hearing of the petition, the
question of whether the claimant
was compensate originally. was not
.open," says Associate Justice Charles
j. Dunn in the rescript.
Perhaps, as argued, the decision
that she was, was at variance with
the law OF the land, as later decisions
or this court, touching the subject of
horseplay or frolic. has declared the
law to be. But the point was and is
not rc-examinable upon the merits.
The right to compensation was once
established between tf1se same par
ties In the same case. And, whether
established correctly on general prin-
ciples or not, so long as the facts on
which the awarding of compensation
was predicated continued to be the
facts In the case, so long did that
which was established continue to
be the law Of the case.
The Industrial Accident Commiss-
Ion, the associate legal member pre-
siding. found that the petitioner had
not successfully proved that incapac-
ity. 80 far as 1t was caused by the ac-
c!dent, was. no more, Accordingly,
s"S'0 was ofucr ioT tHe paying OF
compensation at varying rates, as in
capacity varied from total to partial

payments were stopped on the origi-
nal agreement to the day Of the date
OF the denth OF Miss Healey, she
having died following the hearing
and preceding the order. and her ad-
ministrator being in and defending.
Appeal was made from an affirming
decree.
One question only Ponds: Was the
finding and conclusion OF the COM
mission supported by evidence. The
answer IL. yes.
Appeal dismissed with costs.
Decree affirmed.
