to the scene. They were halted at the
boundary of the camp by a man with
a legal paper which proved to be

of land, for which $40 had been given
as a first payment. There was nothing
for Sheriff Ahern to do but retire while
the unemployed hooted and jeered.

mento were in a quandary today.
Leaders of the unemployed boasted
that they would provide quarters for
a thousand men on the acre Of ground

the reassembling of the army. The ar
rival at the camp of provisions by the
wagon load from Sacramento indicated
that they had received abundant finan-
cial backing to tide them over for
some time.
