Thompson, J.
(concurring specially) — I concur in the result of the majority opinion, but I think it only fair to say there is some support in the record for the holding of the trial court. The plaintiff, using personal pulchritude as her criterion, went *571man hunting. She bagged an immature boy, already given to some extent to intoxication. It should have been apparent to her that she would, for a time at least, be the chief support of the family.
Plaintiff furnished and paid for a considerable quantity of liquor. She now complains of the use of this by defendant. There is some basis for the trial court’s remark that he who furnishes fuel for the fire may not then complain of the heat. On the whole record, however, I think the balance is somewhat in favor of the holding that defendant’s use of the liquor went farther than plaintiff intended or — a close point — had reason to apprehend.
Wennerstrum, J., joins in this special concurrence.
