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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence given on the hearing shows, without contradiction, that at the time Fowler was killed, he was hauling material to be used by the appellant in its work of improving Cornell avenue, in the city of Ft. Wayne, from the yards of appellant, using a small truck which belonged to his wife, the appellee herein; that he was paid by the appellant for the hauling which he did, by the load, the price paid for such hauling depending upon the distance the said materials were hauled. This falls far short of making the deceased a ‘contractor’ within the meaning of the law, and when we consider the testimony of one of the officers of appellant company that, under Fowler’s employment, they had the right to discharge him at any time, we conclude that appellant’s contention in this behalf is not well taken. ’ ’”
