The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
"Pure chance consists in the absence of all means of calculating results."
Morris (Iowa) 169.
It is to be distinguished from "accident," which is "the unusual prevention of an effect naturally resulting from the means employed." Id. Chance is always undeterminable; _ it neither forms nor designs; intention is never attributed to it; its events are uncertain.
