Bowles, Price Administrator v. Miller‪.‬

Houston Ward, a full-blood Chickasaw Indian, Roll No. 2922, received an allotment of 224.25 acres of land in Marshall County, Oklahoma. Of this, 94.25 acres constituted his homestead allotment and 130 acres his surplus allotment. Prior to 1928, he had sold 120 acres of the surplus with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior. Thus, when the Act of May 10, 1928, 45 Stat. 495, became effective, Ward held title to 94.25 acres, his homeatead allotment, and to ten acres of his surplus allotment.
