““The rule is that a demurrer to the defendant’s evidence should not be sustained unless there is an entire absence of proof tending to show a right to recover. (Brown v. Cruse, 90 Kan. 306 , 133 Pac. 865 .) Such demurrer admits every fact and conclusion which the evidence most favorable to the other party tends to prove. (Christie v. Barnes, 33 Kan. 317 , 6 Pac. 599 .) And it admits, not only the truth of the facts directly proven, but also all that may properly be inferred from those facts. (City of Syracuse v. Reed, 46 Kan. 520 , 26 Pac. 1040 .) The court mi¿st view the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and allow all reasonable inferences in his favor, (Rogers v. Hodgson, 46 Kan. 276 , 26 Pac. 732 ; Buoy v. Milling Co., 68 Kan. 436 , 75 Pac. 466 ; Hoffmeier v. Kansas City - Leavenworth Rld. Co., 68 Kan. 831 , 75 Pac. 1117 .)” (p. 856.)”
