Aberdeen, S. D., March 1.-THE leasing
Of the school lands for haying and stock
feeding purposes opened this morning and
the contest for lands is the most spirited
ever witnessed in the county. The court
room was packed with anxious bidders
and prices scared away above the most
sanguine expectations. One farmer bid
Ct cents an acre year ago and the aver
age was in the neighborhood Of 40 cents.
This is more than double the price paid
in any previous year.
Good butetr Is scarce and high here
and will probably be scarcer and higher.
The reason for this is that almost the
Boston price is being paid for butter fat
in separator cream, considerable portion
of which is shipped to Minneapolis, max
ing it hardly worth while for farmers to
make butter unless they have large
dairies. The shipment of cream from
here reaches several hundred gallons a
day at present and there will be an in
crease as the season advances.

FEBRUARY TER N.
OF COURT.

The February term Of the Court
oil General Sessions will open Mon
day morning next. The Judges
assigned TO at during the term are
Chief Justice Charles b. Lore and
Judg esSpruance aud Boyce. Many
criminal and civil cases of great
importance to the general public
are 10 be tried during this session
Of court.
Tbs coming term is attracting
especial attention on account OF the
tact that it will be the first session
OF the Court Of General Sessions to
try wife heaters. This is because
the Municipal Court no longer has
jurisdiction over such cases. 1t
has formerly been the custom to trv
such cases IN the Municipal Court
under charge of assault. There
are several charges Of wife beating
to be heard during this term, the
penalty for which, it found guilty,
is the whipping post
One of the principal! cases to
come before the Court, and one
which is attracting wide attention,
is the charge of perjury against
Vansant. witness in the Lynn
case. Vansant testified in that
case that he was at Lvnn's house
in Esmere on certain date aud
saw Lynn pay to Wh,teman GER
tain amount and heard the two men
(Lynn and Whiteman) in dispute
over the money. 1t is said that
witnesses will be produced who will
testify that Vansant on the date
and hour at he swore he was at
Lynn's house, was at his boarding
house in Port Penn. Vansant was
arrested shortly after the Lynn
trial and is now under heavy bail
for his appearance IN court.
Rumors are also prevalent that
the grand jury will return iudict-
ments against number OF more
prominent citizens of New Castle
county for alleged taking OF money
belonging tothe county. The work

has already resulted in sending
