The Apache Tribe of Oklahoma has closed a second gaming facility, leaving 100 people without jobs.

The Golden Eagle Casino, with 40 employees, was shut down on Wednesday. The Silver Buffalo Casino, with 60 employees, closed last Friday.

The closures come amid a leadership dispute within the tribe. Donnie Cabaniss says he is chairman but rivals say Phillip "Bodie" Wetselline is in charge.
