Description
STEINERT, J. -- Emma Christina Sellin, whose husband, Olof Ferdinand Sellin, was engaged in extra-hazardous employment at the time of his death, filed with the department of labor and industries a claim for a widows pension. The claim was rejected by the supervisor of the department on the ground that the workmans death was not the result of an injury as defined and contemplated by the workmens compensation act. On rehearing by the joint board, however, the claim was allowed. Upon the application of the employers of the workman, the matter was again reheard, and, at the conclusion of that hearing, the joint board made an order sustaining the allowance of the pension, and, subsequently, made a further order charging the sum of four thousand dollars against the employers cost experience. From those orders, the employers appealed to the superior court, and from an adverse judgment by that court have appealed to this court.
