Judge Pendleton Rules Against Standard Oil in Rail Track Case
Judge Pendleton of Hancock county Court of Common Pleas dismisses an injunction suit by Standard Oil against the Toledo Findlay and Springfield Railroad over track construction on leased lands. The decision states oil leases grant surface rights only for drilling and sale and do not grant broader control, denying Standard Oil's action and allowing the railroad to proceed as appealed. The ruling provokes strong criticism of Standard Oil and signals an imminent appeal to higher courts.
