    Implying that injury from coworker stabbing arose out of claimant's employment where dispute stemmed from assailant's distress over demotion and the fact that he was no longer claimant's supervisor

    The referee concluded that claimant was not a "traveling employee." But see SAIF v. Reel, 81 Or. App. 258, 260, 724 P.2d 914 (1986), aff'd 303 Or. 210, 735 P.2d 364 (1987). The Board said that it did "not necessarily agree" with that, but it did not analyze the issue any further. It concluded that an argument between co-workers who are staying at a motel for the employer's convenience is work-related and that claimant's injuries are therefore compensable under the factors identified in Mellis v. McEwen, Hanna, Gisvold, 74 Or. App. 571, 574, 703 P.2d 255, rev den 300 Or. 249 (1985).
