RUSHING TO NEW LANDS.

Many Disputes Arising rs to Prior Occu-
pancy Of Squatters.
RHISELASp, Wis.,, Dec. 23.-Every piece Of
water reserve land is occupied by from one to
ten squatters, with new corners arriving on
every train. Many who made filings at wau-
sau December 20 entered upon their claims at
once, but in nearly every instance found them
occupied. No serious trouble is anticipated ex-
cept in q few instances, a few hot-headed set
tiers having avowed their intention to prevent
any one from entering or occupying the lands
they have taken are fully prepared to protect
their supposed interests. Apparently the most
difficult question to decide will be the "prior
rights" among the settlers. Hundreds entered
upon lands within minute after midnight,
many on the same site, and all have their wit
nesses to prove the fact. For the last two days
the sound Of the Ak and the hammer could be
heard from the city and the hotels have been
crowded by settlers who have come in for q
square meal
