Title OF valuable oil lands in the
Healdton field, from which it is asserted
100000 barrels Of oil have been taken
since the land was developed was
brought into question in petition flea
in the United states district court Jam
90, The suit was brought by Frank
Loman, Betsy Ben and George Victor
guardian for Frances Tillis, against $
A. Apple, Writ Franklin, j. W. HarrolH
w. r. Ward, Helen Ward and the Law
renee Gas company. The plaintiffs i'm
the suit are fullblOOd ChOCtaws and one
Frances Tillis, is an incompetent The
land in question was the allotment OF
Annie Tillis. She died leaving as her
heirs her husband, William Tillis, anc
Frank Loman, her son by previous
marriage. The husband married again
and died and the plaintiffs i'm the suit
are his heirs, together with Frank Lo
man. Before his death Tillis sold his
interest in the land for $3.50 to w. r.. r.
Leonard Frank Loman sold his for the
same price The petition sets forth thu,
the plaintiffs, ignorant Choctaws, did
not know the value of the land and That
= eonard represented it to them as prar
tically worthless when he knew that II
mad oil and gas possibilities. The peti-
ton asks to have the deeds given by
Tinis and Loman set aside, the property
restored to the original heirs and pay
1nent made for the oil taken from tnc
and.
Defendants in this suit announce their
determination to fight the case TO q fin
Ish. The land in question was pur,
chased from the plaintiffs years before
il became considered possible oil lane,
and changed ownership at least twice
before coming into the hands of present
owners. If this case should be decided
in favor of plaintiffs, then apparently
g way would be opened to con'rs, own
ership to major portion of the proven
oil bearing lands of the state.
