1Opinion of the CourtHenley, J.
This was a suit for damages for negligently causing the death of appellee’s decedent while working for appellant.
Counsel for appellant argue the insufficiency of the first paragraph of complaint because it fails to show decedent’s want of knowledge of the dangerous defects which caused his death.
Ordinarily the servant does, as a part of his contract, assume the risk of all known dangers connected with his employment.
