Telluric Co. v. Bramer

Poffenbarger, Judge:

On this appeal from a decree dismissing a bill filed for the purpose of establishing a lost deed for an interest in the oil and gas in a certain tract of land, numerous questions have been discussed. Substantially they are sufficiency of the evidence to prove the execution, contents and loss of the alleged deed and the defences of laches on the part of the plaintiff and bona fides of a purchase of the land since the alleged conveyance of the interests claimed.

The tract of land now yielding considerable quantities of oil is owned prima facie by the heirs of Mary B. Bramer…
