has given his decision in the injunction

the Toledo, Findlay g. Springfield Rail.
road Company to restrain that corpora.
ton from constructing its roadbed
over lands on which the Standard
held leases, on the ground that an oil OF
gas lease carried with it absolute control
of the premises for all purposes save
alone agricultural. The judge dissolved
the injunction. He decided that the
leases only gave the lessees the right to
use such Of the surface as was necessary
to the prosecution of their work in
developing and utilizing the gas and oil.
A decision in favor Of the company would
have given them and other companies
