Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The cooking of the meal for claimant and his family, and the chopping of the fuel as an incident to the cooking of the meal, was in no sense one of the hazards of the employment. The accident did not arise because of his employment of feeding cattle and it was in no reasonable way traceable to it. Clearly, therefore, the accident did not arise out of the employment. This eliminates the first requisite.” (p. 761.)”
