Description
1 This is an application for this court to assume jurisdiction for the purpose of issuing a writ of prohibition against the District Court of Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, forbidding it to exercise jurisdiction over the case of Mullins & Golden, Admrs. v. Skelly Oil Co., No. 26534 in such court. 2 The admitted facts are as follows: The Skelly Oil Company was the owner of an oil tank farm near the town of Velma, Stephens County, Oklahoma. On or about August 23, 1961, said oil company entered into an agreement with Pete Doye Oil Field Service to drain a certain petroleum storage tank for cleaning. The deceased was an employee of Pete Doye Oil Field Service, which was engaged in such work. On said August 23rd, as he was quitting work and starting his automobile, the starting of such engine caused accumulated gas from the tank to explode, resulting in the killing of such employee. After his death, Helen Mullins, his widow, filed claim for his death under the Workmen's Compensation Law of Oklahoma, the respondent in said matter being the Pete Doye Oil Field Service. Thereafter, an award for the death of such employee in the sum of $13,500.00 was made by the court and was paid and accepted by the widow.
