The opinion
LUSK, J.,
specially concurring.
I concur in the result. As the opinion of the court discloses, the whole case of the plaintiff depends upon speculation and conjecture. The record is devoid of evidence of negligence of anyone. In that situation, I think that we should not make a finding of contributory negligence based upon unproven hypotheses. It suffices that the plaintiff failed to prove the negligence alleged.
