    Police move in on tree sitters 

       (Bloomington, Indiana-AP) -- Police in Indiana are uprooting 
  some tree-sitting activists. 
       Police are forcibly removing the activists, who have been 
  demonstrating for more than three months to block a new housing 
  development in Bloomington. 
       Authorities say they've arrested at least three people on 
  charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. 
       They say about four protesters planted themselves in trees at 
  the site, and at least 30 others are on a road outside the area. 
       Environmentalists have maintained a vigil since March 22nd, when 
  one activist began a sit-in.
