Bryan County is taking on real
oil field airs, and oil and gas leases
are considered worth going to court
about.
An action was filed Friday in the
District Court in which +. G. Howk
and Bulah Howk, his wife, bring suit
to cancel an oil lease given on the
26th day OF February, 1915, to S.
Akers, representing the Lone Oak
OIL, Gas and Coal Company, a cor
poration maintaining an office at
the corner of Main street and Second
Avenue i'm Durant The petitioners
are represented by Attorney G.. T..
Deck of Durant, and Attorneys John
B. Means and Jno. A. Shepard, OF
Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Howk land
in dispute is located within one-quar-
ter mile of the well being drilled at
Kiersey by d. n. Wheeler and asso-
ciates of this city, and is considered
a likely prospect, It is understood
that Mr.. Wheeler has within the last
few days secured an oil and gas lease
upon this land and that he placed
the same on record last Friday
The plaintiffs, Howk and wife, in
their petition, allege that G. G. Nc
Carly, president OF the Lone Oak
OH, Gas and Coal Co., came to their
home at o'clock on the evening of
February 26th. 1916. for the pur-
pose of securing an oil and gas lease
upon their land. and did secure such
lease; but that in so doing he made
many Misrepresentation. and later
put on record a lease which did not
contain the stlpulations they had in
sisted on, and to which he had
agreed when writing the lease. In
brief. they allege that the lease put
on record was not the one they had
signed. Among other things, they
allege that McCarty represented to
them that he in company with Louis
Walter, Jr., and S. AkeTs, had or
ganized a corporation for 100000
90, and that they would give the
HOwks forty shares of stock valued
at $4,000. and which he said was
worth 100 cents on the dollar, in
consideration of the Howks giving
him the lease he asked for.
The petition recites further that
the lease given to Akers for the use
and benefit OF the Lone Oak Oil, Gas
and Coal Co. provides among ether
things that the holder of said con-
tract shall have an option to purchase
the plaintiffs land described therein
at 10000 per acre at any time with
in ten years from the date of said
contract, which option plaintiffs be-
lieve to be unfair in case oil was
found upon their property; which of
course would make ii worth many
times that price.
The petition recites that the con-
tract is further unfair because it pro-
vides that If the lessee should COM
mence operations of any kind for
oil, gas, minerals, coal, or even wat
er, on this land, or within one mile
of it, this would operate to continue
said contract for the term of another
year. 1t also alleges that this lease
is not a fair oil and gas lease, in that
il includes in it's provisions the right
to prospect for coal, minerals, met
ais, and artesian water, and that ev-
en- the drilling of water we'll would
serve to extend It,
In closing. the petition rectes that
Mr.. Howk, in giving the lease TO
McCarty on February 26th, 1915.
signed his name "F. G. Howk",
whereas the lease put on record by
McCarty bears the signature Frank
G. Howk."
