the nature of a cross-petition and prayed
for affirmative relief of the foreclosure of
a. mortgage lien on the property Involved In
the suit. The motion was made that the

tion of the first mortgage lien. Subse
quently the owner of the junior mortgage

isfaction thereof. Held , that as against
the owner of the equity of redemption the
junior mortgagee was entitled to such sur

prevailed In the foreclosure suit at the
time , the procedure adopted by the cecond
mortgagee to assert a claim to the surplus
of the proceeds of the sale under the lien
of the first mortgage was entirely proper.

2. Notice of an application for Manor li

first Instance by the license board
4. Where the matter published In each of
two editions of a dally paper Is not sub

1. A person or corporation using the cars
or appliances of another person or corpora
tion as to Its employes uses such cars or
appliances charged with the same duty as
to Inspection as If they were his or Its own.
2. An employe who , under the Instructions
of his matter , uses the car or appliance In
his master's possession belonging to some
other person or corporation thereby as
sumes only the same risk that ho would
if the car or appliance belonged to his em
ployer.
3. The undisputed facts as to the condl-
tlon of a defective car brak > slnteil and
I held : That the jury was justified In Infer-
ring therefrom that a reasonably careful
Inspection of the brake by a competent Inspector
specter would have revealed Its defective
condition , although the defect was of so
latent a character as not to be discernible
at a glance by one Inexperienced in brake
construction or Inspection.
4. A jury has the right to draw rational ,
reasonable and logical Inferences from
facts proved or admitted.
5. A judgment lacks evidence to support
It which rests solely on testimony irrele
vant under the Issues made by the plead
ings.
C. That nn employe knew of a "rule of
custom" of bin employer by which his bus
iness was conducted , but nevertheless con-
tlnued in his wrvicea and thereby assumed
the risk of injury from a defective appli
ance furnished him for use. Is affirmative
matter of defense and must be pleaded.
7. A brakeman who goes upon a car to set
n brake thereof , knowing that the car has
no * been Inspected , does not for that reason
assume the risk of the brake being defec-
I tlve ; ho not knowing the brake Is out of
j order , the defect not being obvious , and It
I not being his duty to Inspect cars or brakes
I or to handle cars known or supposed to be
I defective.
8. An employe assumes the risk arising
1 from defective appliances used , or to bo
used , by him , or from the manner In which
i a business In which he Is to take part is
conducted , when such risks arc known to
him , or are apparent and obvious to per-
I sons of his experience and understanding.
Dehnlng against Detroit Bridge and Iron
Works , 46 Neb. , B66. followed.
S. No defect being obvious , an employe
has the right to assume that a tool or appli
ance furnished him by his employer Is
reasonably safe and firm for the purposes
for which ho Is required to use It.
10. To Inspect a car brake may require
more than a simple- glance at it ; such a test
must be applied ns would probably reveal
a defect If one existed ; and , the ni-glect of
a car Inspector to make such a test is evi
dence of negligence.
11. Certain rulings of the trial court on
the admission of rebuttal evidence exam
ined and sustained.
12. An Instruction that "contributory neg-
llgenco Is based upon and pro-supposes the
negligence of the defendant and cannot ex
ist without some negligence on defendant's
part" criticised , but In view of the issues
held not prejudicial If erroneous.
