and delivered to defendant a lease
on the lands, for the purpose of oil,
gas, ETC., and such other rights as
usually go with such leases The
lease was for three years from July
28, 1918, and as much longer as oil
and gas could be produced in pay
quantities, or the rental was paid
hereon, but no longer Plaintiffs
duced on said premises since March
Is, 1921; that they have frequently
demanded cancellation of lease,
which defendant refuses, and claims
lease is in full force, and he has the
right to operate same. Plaintiffs
pray that lease be cancelled, and
that plaintiffs be decreed to be the
owners of said lands free of and
discharged from all claims by de-
tendant under said lease, and for all
proper relief.
H. e. Devore of Penn township as
a landowner and taxpayer has filed
an injunction suit against the
board of education of Penn
township rural school district, to
restrain them from building a
school house at district No. 8, the
contract for which was awarded to
Ira Shaner member of the board
of education, for $5,125. Plain

be made. He asks that the board
of education and Shaner be enjoin-
ed from proceeding under said con-
tract to carry it into effect.
