Williams Decides Palmer Land Suit
Holding today that 670 acres of oil lease in Pontotoc county was worth 400000 dollars, Judge Robert L Williams ordered refund of 250 dollars to Clifford W. Whitcurch. The lease, once Hicks Palmer's and inherited by Watson Palmer, ends a six year dispute over Hicks Palmer's estate. D. D. Brunson must collect fees differently, and the contract for half interest in the lease is canceled.
