Description

THIS case arises under the Workmens Compensation Act of Colorado. Margaret W. Swanson, the defendant in error, is the widow of one Walter Swanson, now deceased, who was an employee of the plaintiff in error the American Eagle Gold Mining Company. This company carried insurance with the plaintiff in error State Compensation Insurance Fund of Colorado. The widow filed a claim for compensation on account of Swansons death, which occurred November 2, 1932. The Industrial Commission (also a plaintiff in error) disallowed the claim. In so doing, the commission declined to adopt the award, order and findings of its own referee, who had allowed the claim. The claimant carried her case to the district court, which entered judgment reversing the commission and ordering the referees award to be substituted for the order of the commission. That judgment is now before us for review.
