Navajo Production Corporation, and others, filed suit for declaratory judgment agaisnt Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company, and sought a declaration of the rights and legal relations of the parties under a certain contract and supplemental contract for the sale and purchase of natural gas from wells located on 1,847 acres of land in Carson County, Texas. The contract and supplemental agreement were entered into on August 4, 1930, by the seller, Horace G. Miller, Navajos assignor, and the buyer, Texas-Interstate Pipe Line Company, which was succeeded by Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company. The case was tried without a jury, and the court, after hearing much testimony and considering numerous exhibits introduced by the parties, made findings of fact and conclusions of law, found the issues in favor of the defendant, and entered judgment accordingly. Navajo and all other plaintiffs, except one, have appealed.
