Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This was an action by a farm laborer against his employers to recover for the loss of two fingers while operating a grain auger. Plaintiff has appealed from an order sustaining defendants' motion for summary judgment. The petition alleged that plaintiff was employed by defendants to do general work and that he did such jobs as were assigned to him. On the day in question defendants employed plaintiff to recover wheat which had been spilled on the ground as the result of a wreck of a railroad car. He was directed to remove all wood splinters and other foreign substances from the wheat and was furnished a grain auger for the purpose of conveying the wheat from the ground to a truck. The auger was not equipped with any type of safety device. Because of defendants' failure to furnish plaintiff with safety equipment when feeding wheat into the auger plaintiff's hand got caught, resulting in the loss of two fingers.
