Master and Servant — Workmen's Compensation Act not Applicable to Injuries Occurring Within Fort Sill Military Reservation.
The Oklahoma Workmen's Compensation Act does not apply to injuries occurring within the Fort Sill Military Reservation, although such place is within the exterior boundaries of the state, since exclusive jurisdiction of such place was ceded to the United States.
Original action in the Supreme Court by Jerome A. Utley and the American Mutual Liability Insurance Company to review an award of the State Industrial Commission in favor of J.S. Waldrep. Vacated.
Twyford Smith and William J. Crowe, for petitioners.
Mac Q. Williamson, Atty. Gen., and Houston W. Reeves, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent State Industrial Commission.
This is an action by the insurance carrier and employer of an employee who was injured while working within the boundaries of the Fort Sill Military Reservation at Lawton, Okla., to review an award of the State Industrial Commission in favor of the injured employee, J.S. Waldrep.
The facts in this case are the same as in Utley v. State Industrial Commission et al., 176 Okla. 255, 55 P.2d 762.
For the reasons therein set forth, and on the authority of that decision, the award in the instant case is vacated.
OSBORN, V. C. J., and RILEY, BAYLESS, BUSBY, CORN, and GIBSON, JJ., concur.
