Old Rancher Defies Government Over Land Sale
U S Attorney Joseph McNeany delivered a declaration and compensation check to the court for the Army to acquire land for a guided missile training program. The government seeks about a third of Prather's ranch including his home, with offers around 150000 dollars. If ranchers remain by March 30, further steps may follow, including hearings or a jury trial to set land value. Prather has insisted the land is not for sale and warns of consequences if forced out.
