JUDGMENT AGAINST HARMON IS DENIED
COLORADAN SOUGHT TO COLLECT $5,000 FROM TULSA OIL OPERATOR IN COURT.
An interesting case was decided in the Federal Court yesterday when H. H. Hake, a hotel man of Denver, Col., was denied judgment for $5,199.92 against George B. Harmon, an oil operator of Tulsa. Judge R. E. Campbell read the decision handed down by the jury after several hours argument on the part of the attorneys in presenting the case.
The suit originated from a note alleged given by J. D. Himes and endorsed by Harmon to secure to H. H. Hake his share in the profits of sale in oil lands, which never materialized. The note was dated December 29, 1902, and was made payable 18 months after date with interest at 6 per cent per annum. An endorsement on the back of the note credited a payment of interest to June 29, 1908, although, according to the face of the note it did not begin to bear interest until June 29, 1904.
The case occupied the attention of the court all day Monday and part of Tuesday. Mr. Hake was represented by A. J. Biddison of Tulsa and Mr. Harmon by Ramsey and Thomas of Muskogee, and Philip Kates of Tulsa.
The case was listened to with much interest by a large number of Tulsans familiar with the circumstances.
