    Action on the case brought by Edwin L. Foell against Christ Rasmussen to recover damages for the loss of a leg caused by the discharge of a gun in the defendant’s hands. From a verdict and judgment in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff appeals.
    The evidence showed that the appellant and appellee with others were hunting together during cold weather; that the former shot at and missed a rabbit, and that the appellee, who was within a few feet from and in plain sight of the appellant, turned to shoot at it, pulling back the hammer of his gun as he did so, when the hammer slipped from his numbed thumb and the gun was discharged, when it was in range of the appellant’s leg, inflicting a wound which necessitated amputation.
    William A. Kane, for appellant.
    John E. Hogan, for appellee.
