PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge.
Hickman Willis was a full-blood Mississippi Choctaw enrolled opposite Roll No. 165. A tract of land was allotted to him as his homestead and patent duly issued to him therefor. With the approval of the Secretary of the Interior he executed an oil and gas lease of the homestead. The lease was developed and oil and gas were produced therefrom in paying quantities during Hickman’s lifetime. He died July 17, 1925, leaving surviving him as his sole heirs Lodie Baze, nee Willis, a child born after March 4, 1906, and Lonie Scott, a child born prior to that date.
