Description
Rehearing denied March 15, 1954. The appellants herein filed a suit in the circuit court of Crawford County to quiet title and to remove as a cloud on the
title of certain real estate described in the complaint and owned by the appellants a claim of the appellee that he was the
owner of the oil-and-gas rights in and to said real estate. The appellee bases his claim on a certain provision contained
in a deed executed on March 9, 1923, by plaintiffs' predecessors in title to said real estate and said provision is, "All
oil rights reserved to the grantors and subject to existing oil leases." Because of this provision the appellee claims ownership
of the oil rights in said real estate as the surviving husband and only heir of the daughter of the grantors of the deed executed
March 9, 1923, who died eight months after the death of the surviving grantor. Subsequent to the execution of said deed and
before the institution of the present suit, the Ohio Oil Company cancelled and released of record the existing oil lease on
land involved in this suit and described in the deed of March 9, 1923.
