hour, when about one hundred invaders,
under the leadership of }. D. Day, q
lumberman and lawyer of Chippewa
Falls, made a silent descent upon the
sleeping flers. The. crowd was quietly
collected. at one Of the hotels and
marched to within a block Of the land
Office. when they filed in between two
buildings and approached the line from

police, who

if they attemp pied to modest men in line
or approach nearer. The men were held
at bay till daylight. when the day force
arrived, and they were allowed to come
up abreast Of the original line.
During the afternoon J. J. McMiller,
who owns large part of the ground
back Of the land Office, made demand
on the men on his property to move.
They did so, and now high and heavy
fence has been built around large por-
ton and other men have been permitted
to go inside on the payment of a certain
sum. The men driven from the ground
moved ahead off the ground in question
and formed on the opposite side of the
leaders from the invading crowd.
Four Separate Lines.
There are now fully 500 men in line
and formed in four separate lines, while
fully as many more arrived on the even

heavily armed and viii resist to the he
death any attempts to deprive them Of
their places. Additional police have
been sworn in, but they will be power

PROCTOR SPEAKS.
The Secretary of War Would Not Refuse

The Secretary Of War Would Not Refuse
the Vermont Senatorship.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Since the re-
turn of Secretary Proctor there has been
great desire to obtain some authorita-
tive statement from him concerning tho
rumor that he was about to resign for
business reasons, and also whether or
not he would consent to be candidate
for the United States senate to succeed
Senator Edmonds. In response to re-
peated opportunities he finally made
the following statement to the repre-
sentative of the United Press:
II have been absent from Washington
for month on the business of the de-
partment, and have returned in the
regular course of my trip, having simply
timed my return so as to see the presi-
dent before he left the city. All runors
that have any present intention of re-
signing are without foundation" With
respect to the senatorship Secretary
Proctor said he was not candidate
but that should it be offered him he
could not very well refuse. There was,
however long time until November,
and many things might happen mean
time.
