Description
The United States, in its own behalf and for the use and benefit of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes of Indians, instituted this suit against Magnolia Petroleum Company, Amerada Petroleum Corporation, Samedan Oil Corporation, Simpson-Fell Oil Company, and Simon Westheimer to quiet title to a strip of land formerly part of a proposed railroad right-of-way traversing lands of the tribes, and for an accounting for oil and gas extracted therefrom. The Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes intervened, joined as parties plaintiff, and adopted the allegations contained in the bill of complaint. Issues were joined, and the cause was submitted on stipulated facts and the testimony of a single witness. No dispute of fact is presented. The questions for determination are questions of law.
