Homesteaders Stand Before the Land Office All Night.


Special to the Dispatch.

Duluth, Minn., July 16. - Forty men, mostly homesteaders, stood on the steps of the government building all night in order to file on lands that were thrown open for settlement this morning. The towns offered were 155-29, 156-28, 155-28 and 156-27. About sixty men were in line when the door opened and forty-one filed. The land is valuable both for timber and for farming. The favorite town was 156-27.
