Evictions in Texas Prompt Settlers to Quit Pasture
Reports from Ochiltree County say managers of the Cresswell land and cattle company order about 150 settlers to leave the pasture under threat of penalties tied to the new land law. The 4,000,000 acre pasture had leased private sections and held school lands, with the Panhandle waterway Wolf Creek running through it. The settlers, once aided by former manager H. W. Cresswell, now face displacement after his retirement and sale of interests.
