Army Interior land dispute near settlement in Wichita Mountains
A five year quarrel over 10,700 acres near Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge may end with a compromise. The Army would gain a five year use permit for about 4,000 acres, creating a buffer zone north of private land now being purchased, while the Army gives up ownership. Washington negotiators and wildlife groups reportedly approved the plan, with further talks pending official clarification.
