They buried their powder to prevent theft; but some boys found it and were injured in its explosion. Held, the miners were independent contractors, but that, if they were employees, they did not act within the scope of their employment in burying their powder. General Refractories Co. v. Mozier (Ky. 1930) 30 S.W.(2d) 952.
