““ ‘ “A motion to instruct the jury to find for the defendant is in the nature of a demurrer to the evidence, and the rule is that the evidence so demurred to, in its aspect most favorable to the plaintiff, together with all reasonable inferences arising therefrom, must be taken most strongly in favor of the plaintiff. The evidence is not weighed, and all contradictory evidence or explanatory circumstances must be rejected. The question presented on such motion is whether there is any evidence fairly tending to prove the plaintiff’s declaration. In reviewing the action of the court of which complaint is made we do not weigh the evidence, — we can look only at that which is favorable to appellant. Yess v. Yess, 255 Ill. 414 ; McCune v. Reynolds, 288 id. 188; Lloyd v. Rush, 273 id. 489. ” (Hunter v. Troup, 315 Ill. 293, 296, 297 . [Italics ours]) ’ (Rose v. City of Chicago, 317 Ill. App. 1, 12 . See, also, Mahan v.
