Encampment Record fleeced in plant sale dispute
A lengthy report details a crooked deal surrounding the Encampment Record newspaper plant sold at foreclosures. It centers on a June 1915 contract to publish a weekly paper with a $200 buyback option, a mortgage unearthed by the writer, and a subsequent foreclosure by Geo. C. Austin. The sale of the plant for $660 to Austin and related bidding are outlined, with the Record blaming others for attempting to drive them out of business while pledging to continue operations in a new Encampment location.
