MR. JUSTICE ADAIR
dissenting:
The district court found that Ovila J. Lupien, who, continuously for some twenty-seven years was an employee of the Montana Record Publishing Company of Helena, on July 29, 1961, “died of a heart attack while expending approximately twice the physical effort that it was customary for him to use in doing his work the day before * * * his death.” As the result of such finding the district court rendered judgment holding that the respondent, Garnett M. Lupien, the widow of the deceased workman, was and is entitled to have and receive the workman’s compensation for which she applied, and reversing the Industrial Accident Board and prior ruling to the effect that the respondent widow was not entitled to such compensation. In my opinion the district court’s judgment was correct and it should be affirmed.
