The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Where matters of fact are tried before the court without the intervention of a jury, the judgment rendered is entitled to the same weight and consideration that would be given a verdict by a jury, and should not be disturbed o.n appeal, unless same is clearly against the weight of the evidence. Bretch Bros. v. Winston & Sons, 28 Okla. 626 , 115 Pac. 796 , 33 L. R. A. (N. S.) 576, wherein the court said: “ ‘It has time and again been held by this court that: “Where a ease is tried by the court without the intervention of a jury upon controverted questions of facts, and there is evidence reasonably tending to support the findings of the trial court, such findings, will not be disturbed on the weight of the evidence. Where file testimony is oral and conflicting, and the finding of the court is general, such finding is a finding of every special thing necessary to be found to sustain the general finding, and is conclusive upon this court upon all doubtful and disputed questions of fact.” “And the same rule is announced in the Interstate Bldg. & Loan Co. v. Oklahoma City, 84 Okla. 227 , 203 Pac. 172 , and in many oilier Oklahoma opinions.””
