Thompson v. Heckendorn Manufacturing Co.

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Fatzer, J.:

In this workmen’s compensation case the commissioner found that the relationship of employer and workman did not exist between the claimant and the respondent, Heckendorn Manufacturing Company, at the time the claimant sustained personal injury resulting in the loss of his right eye, and denied an award of compensation. Upon appeal, the district court found that the claimant’s injury did not arise out of and in the course of his employment with the respondent and affirmed the order of the commissioner denying compensation.

The parties concede…
