    "head_matter": "Rollie Finney, Appellee, v. Harris & Cole Brothers, Appellant.\n(Not to be reported in full).\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Massac county; the Hon. A. W. Lewis, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1913.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed October 9, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Bollie Finney against Harris & Cole Bros, to recover damages for injuries received in operating his employer\u2019s planing machine. From a judginent for plaintiff for four thousand dollars, defendant appeals. A former appeal is reported in 168 Ill. App. 326.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Master and servant, \u00a7 760 \u2014when proximate cause is for the jury. Where an employe feeding hoards through a planing machine is injured by a hoard kicking hack out of a defective appliance and the evidence is conflicting whether the accident was caused by feeding a plank thinner than the gauge the cutters was set for, or by the defect, the question of what was the proximate cause is for the jury.\n2. Master and servant, \u00a7 743 \u2014when assumed rislc is for the jury. Where a foreman feeding hoards through a planing machine is injured by a hoard kicking hack out of a defective appliance, and it appears that he was not the regular operator, did not know of the need of repairs that had been reported to the master, would not see the defect from his position and that his duties were to put in and sharpen the knives, to gauge and to examine the work, to report breaks to the machinist and that on one occasion helped the machinist as a laborer, the question whether he assumed the risk is for the jury.\nC. L. V. Mulkey, for appellant.\nFeed R. Young and H. A. Evans, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XIV, same topic and section number."
