Eugene C. WILCOX et al. v. SHELL OIL COMPANY.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Applications for Rehearing Filed on July 14 and 15, 1954.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kaufman, Anderson & Leithead, Lake Charles, for plaintiffs-appellants.

W. W. Westerfield, Jr., Geo. C. Schoenberger, Jr., New Orleans, for Shell Oil Co., defendant-appellee.

Herschel Knight, Jennings, for J. S. Abercrombie and other Royalty Owners, defendants-appellees.

HAWTHORNE, Justice.

Plaintiffs-appellants as landowners instituted this suit seeking the cancellation of an oil and gas lease in which Shell Oil Company, defendant-appellee, is the lessee and which covers 550 acres of land in the Iowa Field in the Parish of Jefferson Davis. Plaintiffs allege that the lease terminated because Shell did not elect to drill or pay the delay rental as provided therein. From a judgment rejecting their demands they have appealed.
