STOCKSLAGER, C. J.,

¶1Dissenting. — I cannot concur in the conclusion reached by the majority of the court. I think, under the showing made by plaintiff, she was entitled to have the questions of fact submitted to a jury. The right to trial by jury in eases of this character is guaranteed by the constitution of the United States as well as the constitution of this state, and should never be denied any citizen when such trial is demanded.
