The single member found that ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‍it was a matter of conjecture whether the alleged injury of the employee was ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‍attributable to or connected with his employment. That finding was adopted and affirmed by ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‍the board. This was a question of fact dependent upon the view taken of ‍​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‍the testimony. It must stand.
