Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. Owings

Reubin Owings and twenty-two others instituted this suit, in the District Court of Franklin County, Texas, against Humble Oil Refining Company and sixty-two other defendants, including Magnolia Petroleum Company, in form of trespass to try title to 4.45 acres of land, a part of the Orlando James Survey.
