Turnbow v. Barnsdall Oil Co.

BAUGH, Justice.

This is a rule 37 case. Turnbow and the Railroad Commission are appellants. Barns-dall Oil Company, the original plaintiff, and Humble Oil & Refining Company and Gulf Production Company, interveners, are ap-pellees. Suit was filed as an appeal from an order of the Railroad Commission, dated September 25, 1934, granting to Turnbow permits to drill two wells on 2½ acres of land, 200 feet wide by 545 feet long, in the East Texas oil field in Gregg county. After a trial upon the merits, the trial court granted the relief prayed for; hence this appeal.
