Ex-service men oppose $100 location fee in Gillette case
Six Casper veterans who answered Military Live Stock company ads to locate homesteads in Gillette refused to pay $100 per man. They filed with US land commissioner M. P. Wheeler and expect Interior Department scrutiny of the firm. The Wyoming company, incorporated this year with capital stock and named directors, advertised aid but charged the fee for locating entries.
