Mr. Joseph D. Harkins, Attorney,

Prestonsburg, .

Kentucky.

RR = massagesﬁqlﬂ s Kv,.,,_,go Re C o .

My dear Mr. Harkins:

I have received your letter enclosing copies
of the deeds from Hayes to.the Beaver Creek Coal & Coke Com—
pany, and the deed from Hayes to Hoover.

The one hundred acres in dispute in our case
is, I assume, embraced in Tract No. 10, referred to in the deed
from Hayes and wife to the Beaver Creek Coal & Coke Company, of
November 1, 1905.

Has the transcript of the testimony heard at
the trial been yet filed in the case by the stenographer? Have
you had any report from the Court as to the motion to extend the
time for filing brief for fifteen or twenty days after the tran-
script dzall have been filed?

Kindly let me hem~ from you.

Very truly yours,
a

l Mb. Joseph D. Harkins, Attorney, ‘ V
Prestonsburg, Kentucky.
Dear Mr. Harkins:
RE} Keystone Gas Company vs Kentucky Coke Co.
I have prepared a brief in the case of Keystone
Gas Company vs Kentucky Coke Company, copy of which I send you.
I have focwarded the original to the Clerk's office at Cattlets—
burg in order to have it filed within the time.

‘ I intended to have the brief printed,end will d3 so,
and will change its arrangement somewhat. The printed copies
will be ready in about a week.

Hoover, as you will recall, testified that he had made
' a lease of the oil and gas to some company along in 1911 or 1912,
and before making the deed to Dudley. He did not seem to know
whether the lease had been put on record or not. If there is
such a deed on record it would be of vast importance to us to get
(’ .
it. I wish you would look and see if there is.
I hope you will have your brief finished by this time.
I will be glad to have any suggestions you have to offer thatl
may add to my brief.
Let me hear from you.
V Very truly yours,

2. '
as we can in disposing of the case before it in accordance with
the law as we understand it, we will first ask the Court to con-
sider just what the issues presented by the record before it are.
‘ The plaintiff asserts title to the oil and gas in a
4 certain tract of 105 acres of land in Floyd County, Kentucky, to
which the defendani makes a like claim. ~ _
' According to the averments of the petition, under color
of title, the defendant "had entered upon the propertp aforesaid
w;th drilling moonines, tools and appliances for the purpose of ‘
_ﬁ‘ - drilling fur oil and gas on said land kc" before this suit was in— 1
L stitutod, and the defendant was, therefore, at the institution of
the suit in the actual possession of the property in dispute.
Just what effect those conceded facts have on the rights
of the parties in this proceeding we will hereafter ask the Court
to consider. _
The plaintiff traces in its petition its claim of title .
. and that of the defendant back to a common grantor, one Molvin
Hoover. - '
Plaintiff's titlo, according to the averments of the
: petition, comes to it from Hoover through Daisy Dudley and Ballard
Dudley, hio immediate grantees. We quote from the petition: .
"Their (Dudleys‘) title to the land * c r %
wao derived through sale to them by one Melvin Hoover
and Louisa Hoover, his wife, by deed dated Aug. 16, 1913,
recorded L.B. 40 page 42 of the records of the office
of the Clerk of Floyd County Court." -

 i 0 ~
0 3 Q . .
. 3.
3' the controversy chiefly hinges. The plaintiff charges in its
2 petition .
(1) That "by a mistake of the draftsman of the dead from
' Melvin Hoover and wife to Delay Dudley a clause was ;
written therein following the description of the land ,
in words substantially as follOWS:
- - 'Excluding the all the minerals on said land,‘
‘ that it was not intended by the parties to the said deed
- to exclude the minerals as all of same werc sold and by
. the deed aforesaid it was intended to conVey same to the
‘ » an id Daisy; Dudley." 3
(2) )l‘hat thereafter, on April 20,‘ 1921, Hoover and his wife
' executed and delivered I ' -
"to Daisy Dudley and this plaintiff * a c is ’ ‘
conveyed and confirmed to Daisy Dudley the title to
3 ghﬁ Land aforesaid including the oil, gas and mineral
C /
' , and thet said deed was executed for the purpose of correcting «
cold error &o."" - .
- In View, therefore, of the-avermente of the petition
to the effect that the'words "Excluding all the minerals in said
land" in the deed to Daisy Dudley were inserted therein by mistake
of the draftsmﬁh, and of the further averment of the petition that ‘
. / ’
the later alleged dead from Hoover and wife to Daisy Dudley of
April 20, 1921, was made to correct the alleged error; there 15,
1g submit no foundation wlnteogg in the Eleadings for the/219a now
. advanced in_bricf g:_learned Counsel, that the words "Excluding the
' all the minerals in said land" had any other meaning than they
plainly import, or other meaning that the plaintiff, the Hoovcrs, .
the Dudleys and the Dimicks, as well as the defendant attached to -
. \/ / them, not alone by preparing and endeavoring; as the record shows; .

I ' mistake‘of the draftsmen,; and that the alleged error was sorrected I ‘

had title for". (Record p-ee)

- ' A. ‘Yes Sir, that I was selling the surface, the

I We wish here to call the Court's attention to the fact
' 7 that Dudley does not anywhere deny hearing Hoover make that statement-
"that he had leased the oil and gas" in the land to another.

nevertheless,'a Woman of marked intelligence,and veracity her
deposition clearly ehoWB. No one, we think, can read her depo-
_ ' sition without being impressed at once with her intelligence and
' candor. She was the owner of the land, and s‘e makes it clear
that all she egreed to sell or did sell and convey to Mrs. Dudley -
was, as she calls it, the surface, and that she meant to reserve >
and did reserve all other rights in the lend. -
Daisy Dudley testifies that she was present when her
hunbapd and Hoover made the trade but she does not recall what
was Bald by either of them. We Quote from her deposition: . _ .
> Q. "Where were you at the time? V
7 r . A. l was there. ‘

' Q. 1 know but what part of the house, Mrs. Dudley~ ‘
were you in the same room with then or in the ,
room with Mrs, Hoover and the children?

Q. What is your best recollection?

Q. Did you hear what they said about it? .

l ' , l I ‘
So that against the testimony of Melvin Hoover, Louisa
’ ﬁpjver, W. B. martin and Ark Wireman as to what was said by the parties
when the deed to Daley Dudley was drawn~ there stands only the
word of Ballard Dudley. We name W. R. Martin, the draftsman of
- the deed because he tells us that he knows the horde "the sell
I the mineral in said land" must have been dictated to him by the
, ' 8, _ ’ ,

 O _
0 o . 0_
parties at the time he wrote the deed. . 4
But in addition to the testimony of the witnesses named,
there is an admitted fact which gives powerfdl corroboration to
defendant‘s contention.
. It must be remeobered that in the deed from Hays to Hoover
there Was no exception or reservation whatever. ‘lt ie on its 1
face a deed for the fee simple title in the land. I
' Hoover, however, knew when he got the deed from Hays
m that the latter bed theretofore sold the coal underlying the land
' m a coal company. Hoover told Dudley, as the latter admits,
’ that the coal had been sold. ‘ ~~
' ' Now, if it wad the intention of the parties to except
_ V in the deed to Ba 18:; Dudley {whitheiooalmthddwheenieold,
would it not have been so expressed in the deed? Why instead use I
the clause "excepting the all the mineral on said land" if the 7
coal alone was to be excepted. ﬂartin testifies that the words
.used must haVe been given to him by the
