Supreme Court of Minnesota December 9, 1904, Nos. 14,078—(34) (Swanson v. Oakes)

LOVELY, J.

Emil Swanson, while engaged in the service of defendants upon a modern pile driver in placing timbers to construct the foundation of a building in St. Paul, received injuries which caused his death. His administrator brings this action to recover damages, upon the ground that his injuries resulted from the failure of the defendants to furnish suitable instrumentalities for his use.
