    "head_matter": "Albert Wacholz, Appellant, v. Homewood Press et al., Appellees.\nGen. No. 20,879.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Adelor J. Petit, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1914.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 21, 1915.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Appeal and error, \u00a7 471 \u2014when objection to cross-examination insufficient to preserve ground for review. A general objection to a cross-examination not made on the specific ground that the cross-examination objected to was improper will not preserve the point urged for review.\n2. Masted and servant, \u00a7 699 \u2014when evidence to sustain finding of contributory negligence. In an action by a servant against the master to recover for personal injuries sustained while unloading boxes from a wagon, a verdict finding plaintiff guilty of contributory negligence held not manifestly against the weight of the evidence.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Albert Wacholz, plaintiff, against the Homewood Press, a corporation, and George H. Cotter, trading as Cotter Teaming Company, defendants, in the Circuit Court of Cook county, to recover for personal injuries sustained while employed by der fendant Cotter. From a judgment for defendants, plaintiff appeals.\n. It appeared that plaintiff was working near a shipping platform on which were boxes containing paper, and the charges mainly relied on were (1) that a wagon belonging to the defendant Cotter was negligently backed up to the platform against one of the boxes causing one to fall on plaintiff and injure him; and (2) that his foreman had ordered him to assist in removing the boxes against his protest that there was danger under the circumstances in so doing.\nLitzinger, McGurn & Reid, for appellant.\nHenry B. Bale, Rose, Symmes, & Kirkland and Charles F. Vogel, for appellees.\nSee minois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
