is to be sold. He shall first offer each
| tract for rent to the bidder who will pay
| as rent the amount for which it Is to De
sold, for the shortest term OF years. II
| no bidder will take it on those terms the
| sheriff Is required to then offer same in
fee to the highest bidder who shall bid
| not less than the amount for which the
same Is to te sold. If no bidder appears

or for the state or county, and the sheriff

be begun and prosecuted as prescribed
in the state laws.

the treasurer the amount due on the
Judgment, and if the tract may have
been bid in by the county, may redeem
