CAVE, Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the' résult reached in the BOUR opinion;' but I' do not want to be understood as approving plaintiffs’, instruction No. 1 as drawn. -The first three paragraphs of the instruction clearly submit the question of liability in the conjunctive, but the effect of the last clause, beginning with the word “Or”, is confusing to me. Whether that clause was inserted for the purpose of clarifying the submissions in' the conjunctive, or whether the effect is to convert the original conjunctive submissions into disjunctive submissions, is not clear. It certainly adds to the uncertainty of the elements of damage submitted in instruction No. 4.
