Millard, J.

¶1 (dissenting) — I dissent. The motion for judgment n. o. v. should have been granted, as respondent was an independent contractor. Whether the rope was defective, whether respondent fell by reason of the rope breaking or because the knot slipped on the rope, are questions of no importance in view of respondent’s status.

¶2 Simpson, J., concurs with Millard, J.
