We think it ought to be said it appeared without dispute in the evidence having probative force that the vacancy existed as claimed by appellant.

This suit was instituted in the District Court of Lynn County, Texas, by the appellee, H. C. Glenn, the duly appointed and acting receiver for the Temple Trust Company, as an action in trespass to try title against Alvin O.

The State brought this suit against some 175 defendants to recover as vacant public lands about 618 acres in two tracts located in the Conroe Oil Field in Montgomery County, Texas, and for $5,000,000 damages for oil taken therefrom. Some of the defendants were claiming a preference right to an oil lease on said lands.
