Ranchers indicted in Nebraska land grab scheme
Indictments returned by a federal grand jury allege that Perry Yeast and associates conspired to drive homesteaders from Kinkaid era land in western Nebraska. They allegedly terrorized families, burned homes, and secured Davasher’s forced asylum confinement without counsel or hearing, a case highlighted by an insanity board member’s involvement. The scheme, centered in sandhills valleys near Grant Banner Garden Cherry counties, is described as a major land grabbing attempt drawing attention from the interior department and President Taft.
