Oklahoma and Texas, with the United States intervening, sought approval of a Special Master's report regarding disputed claims to funds held by a Receiver from certain oil wells. The Supreme Court approved the Special Master's report and authorized the Receiver to distribute the fund among the specified claimants with interest, after deducting the Master's fees, with the payments operating as a full release of claims against the Receiver.
