Price, J.,
dissenting: The special findings of the jury are that both plaintiff and defendant were guilty of negligence which proximately caused plaintiff’s injuries. The special findings are not inconsistent with each other and are complete in themselves, but are inconsistent with the general verdict. Assuming, solely for the sake of argument, that defendant’s demurrer to the evidence was properly overruled, in my opinion defendant is entitled to judgment on the special findings notwithstanding the general verdict. (Ferguson v. Kansas City Public Service Co., 159 Kan. 520, 534, 156 P. 2d 869; Fralick v. Kansas City Public Ser. Co., 168 Kan. 134, 211 P. 2d 443; Metzinger v. Subera, 175 Kan. 542, 266 P. 2d 287, and Franklin v. Kansas City Public Service Co., 175 Kan. 626, 265 P. 2d 1031.)
