ment affirmed.

ty. Judgment reversed.

j. b. Storey ct al. VS.. Hood. Bonbright & Co.
Butler county. Judgment affirmed.
S. D. Karns VS.. George Given. Butler coun-
tv. Judgment affirmed.
The decision of the Court IN the case of A. NJ.
Monroe against Armstrong Storey, delivered
by Justice Turnkey last Friday is of general
interest to producers The history of the case
is that a man named Rup leased to Clark &
Lilly certain oil territory in Butler county for
period of 20 years. The work of drilling was
to have commenced in 10 days after the sealing
of the agreement, and was to have been contin-
ued with due diligence until the works were
success, or the lessees abandoned their o 1t
was agreed further that if the lessees tailed to
get oil or ceased to work for 80 days the lease
was to be void. If they failed to get oil in one
well, they had a right to bore as many wells as
they liked, while they were not bound TO bore
anv certain number. They were not bound to
drill holes for 30 years, but to use due diligence
in their search for oil. 1t appears that after
working unsuccessfully on the territory that
they quit for period of nine months. and 9TH
ers took possession of the property and struck
lie. Clark d Lilly then demanded an interest
in the production under their lease, but it was
refused them, and they entered suit to recover
in the lower court. Here they got verdict and
then the owners of the property appealed the
case to the Supreme Court. Justice Turnkey
held that in the rapid development of oil lands
taken with their rapid exhaustion, cessation
of work for nine months was a very long
period The prices of oil lands and leases f1uc-
tuated so that speedy work necessary to-
ward development. The decision of the lower
court was reversed and new trial awarded.
In the case of Dickson vs. Campbell, Camp
bell claimed that the signature to a note held
by defendant vas 9 forgery and proceedings
were instituted TO prevent recovery of the
amount. The case was decided in the lower
Court in favor of Campbell. The opinion,
