    "head_matter": "Barney Childers, Appellee, v. Chicago, Wilmington & Franklin Coal Company, Appellant.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Franklin county; the Hon. Junius C. Kern, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1917.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed April 5, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Barney Childers, plaintiff, against Chicago, Wilmington & Franklin Coal Company, a corporation, defendant, to recover for personal injuries received while employed in defendant\u2019s mine. From a judgment for plaintiff for $475, defendant appeals.\nMastin & Sherlock and Robert E. Hickman, for appellant; C. B. Chapman, of counsel.\nMoses Pulverman and Harmon & Mitchell, for appellee.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Master and servant, \u00a7 598 \u2014 when burden of proof not shifted on master in action for personal injuries. In an action by an employee to recover for personal injuries, the mere proof of the accident or injury does not place upon the master the burden of showing that the injury did not result from his negligence.\n2. Master and servant, \u00a7 126* \u2014 what degree of care required of master as to furnishing safe place to work. The master does not insure that the place where he sets his men to work shall be absolutely safe, but is merely required to exercise reasonable care to see that it is reasonably safe.\n3. Mines and minerals, \u00a7 176* \u2014 when not shown that place of working in mine was dangerous. In an action by a mine employee to recover for personal injuries, plaintiff held not only not to have shown that a dangerous condition existed as to the place of working before the accident, but also to have shown that no such condition did exist.\n4. Mines and minerals, \u00a7 176* \u2014 when evidence is insufficient to support verdict for mine employee Jor injuries. In an action to recover for personal injuries to an employee by the fall of coal from a mine roof, evidence held insufficient to support a verdict for plaintiff.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
