| View Entry | 1884 | John A. Fite et al. v. J. M. Lance | White | Lease Dispute |
This dispute concerns a leased mining property and a provision to pay to the lessor a percentage of the coal taken from the mine. Because other similar suits are referenced in the case, it is difficult to identify the names of parties. They seem to be John Fitzwater, E. F. Falconett, M. C. Dibrell, J. W. Sawyer, and L. S. Goodrich, H. C. Snodgrass, Joseph Mynes (Myrres?), and Benton McMillan. |
