ANDERSON and SMITH, Justices
(dissenting).

Appellants’ place of business was not only rendered untenantable; it was destroyed by fire. The fire adjuster recommended payment of fire insurance in the total amount of $116,000 as damage to the building and its contents, of which sum appellants collected $36,000 for their loss oc*400casioned by the fire. The attached pictures, plaintiffs’ exhibit 19, taken before, and exhibit 10, taken after the fire — apparently from opposite ends of the leased premises —speak not only for themselves, but louder than ten thousand words.
