Gileillan, C. J. The action was properly dismissed. Assuming that it was negligence on the part of the foreman at the round-house to order plaintiff to do the particular thing in which he was hurt, it was the negligence of a fellow-servant. There was no evidence of a failure on the part of defendant to furnish, for the use of its servants at the round-house, all proper and necessary instruments to do the work as safely as it can be done, nor that the foreman was not a skilful and competent man.

UpLaw has not yet analyzed Gonsior v. Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway Co.. The absence of a flag is not a finding that it is good law.
