Kramer v. Huntington Steel Foundry Co.

Nichols, C. J.

Appellant claims that he was employed in appellee’s foundry as a molder, and that while preparing the sand for the molds his feet were burned. That the sand from the molds was hot, and while in that condition was spread on the floor, and water applied to cool and break it up. That, while mixing the steaming hot mass with an ordinary shovel, his feet became overheated, and were burned, the circulation of thé blood was arrested, his feet became sore, and blood poison resulted, which necessitated the amputation of two toes on his right foot.

*2901. 2. *289After hearing the evidence, the full Industrial Board found that appellant “did not receive a personal injury *290by an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment resulting in the disability for which he claims compensation by his complaint herein,” and made its award that he take nothing. The only question involved in this appeal is whether or not the award of the Industrial Board, based on its finding that the accident which resulted in the injury of appellant did not' arise out of and in the course of his employment by appellee, is contrary to law. This is sufficient under Acts 1917 p. 154 (§8020s2 Burns’ Supp. 1918) to present the question of the sufficiency of the evidence, which is the only question presented. Appellant contends that the uncontradicted ■ evidence does not support the finding. We hold that the evidence tends to support the finding, and that the award is therefore not contrary to law. Under such circumstances, it will not be disturbed on appeal. Sugar Valley Coal Co. v. Drake (1917), 66 Ind. App. 152, 117 N. E. 937; American Hominy Co. v. Davis (1920), 74 Ind. App. -, 126 N.
