Opinion

[L. A. No. 16530. In Bank. February 29, 1940.] FREDERICK A. SPEIK, Appellant, v. I. O. SUTPHIN, Respondent. John W. Preston, Crump & Rogers and Wood, Crump & Rogers for Appellant. Leland J. Allen for Respondent. [MAJORITY — GIBSON, J.] GIBSON, J. This is an action to quiet title and to obtain declaratory relief in respect to rights arising under an oil lease. The action raises the same issues as those presented in the companion case of Sutphin v. Speik, L. A. No. 17142 (ante, p. 195 [99 Pac. (2d) 652]), this day decided. On the authority of that ease the judgment is affirmed. Edmonds, J., Carter, J., Curtis, J., Waste, C. J., Wood, J., pro tem., and McComb, J., pro tem., concurred. Rehearing denied. Shenk, J., and Houser, J., did not participate.
