On the trial below the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, upon which the court entered judgment, to reverse which plaintiff has prosecuted this appeal.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Brokers, \u00a7 93 \u2014what is question of fact in action for compensation. The question whether a real estate broker was the procuring cause in bringing about a transfer of property is a question of fact for the jury.\n2. Appeal and error, \u00a7 1411 \u2014when finding of jury not disturbed on appeal. A finding of the jury will not be disturbed on appeal unless clearly and manifestly against the weight of the evidence..\n3. Brokers, \u00a7 29 \u2014what broker is entitled to compensation. Where an owner of property employs several real estate brokers to sell such property, the broker whose efforts actually bring about the sale is the broker who is entitled to the commission.\nAshcraft & Ashcraft, for appellants; Charles F.
