Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The district court affirmed an award of the commission to the claimant Chambers for the accidental injury of his wooden leg.
Compensation can be awarded for personal injuries only (C. L. §§ 4389, 4387, 4388, 4404), which means injury to the person. 1 Honnold on Workmen’s Comp. §92; Miller v.
