Won het suit in the Louiftiftna
supreme court and established her
title, so far as State' courts are
concerned, to what her attorneys
declared is the biggest producing
lease in the great Homer (La.)
oil fields.
The land, about three miles

has produced about $5,000,000
worth of oil, according to the
lawyers representing the woman,
and the court's decision has made
her the richest negro woman in
the United States.
ine woman 8 ngnt lor tne fortune
centered about land in Claiborne
parish she had abandoned
as worthless. She moved off it.
after inheriting it from her paI
rents, and, according to claims
in the suit, George West, another
negro, squatted on it on alleged'
pretense of title. It was West the
woman fought in the courts.
Two of the greatest oil companies
in the Homer field are in'

woman will receive when the litigation
is ended is not known, but
it will be from 8 to 15 million dollars.
