CHANCE
FOR FREE HOMES
Settlers on Gregory County
Lands Will Have to Pay
Full Price
WILL BE $3.50 PER ACRE
Edward Collier, of Ramona, Who
Cut His Fathers Throat Has
Been Dismissed-South
Dakota News.

Washington, March Is. = Senator
Gamble is somewhat pesslmistic about
getting a free home clause attached to
the bill opening the Rosebud Indian
reservation to settlement. His bill,
which. was reported favorably from the
Indian affairs committee, contains a
free homes section, but when the bill
was reached on the calendar yesterday
in the senate Senator Plat of Connecti-
cut objected to it's present considera-
ton, and the bill went over.
Senat Platt incidentally said he
was opposed to the free homes propo-
sition and that he would fight as long
as he knew how against permitting set
tiers to go upon Indian lands without
paying the price the government had
paid the Indians for the same lands.
Representative Burke OF South Da-
kota, who introduced a measure in the
house similar to hat of Senator Gam
ble's, n having the free homes pro-
vision a feature of his bill, was COM
PEELED by the house committee on In
dian affairs to report the bill back with
an amendment opening the lands to
homestead entry, instead of free homes.
This measure, which in all probable
ity will pass congress, will compel in
tending settlers to pay $3.50 an acre
for the lands, the price paid by the
government to the RoSebudS.

BOY WHO INJURED FATHER.
Edward Collier Cut His Parents
Throat But Is Dismissed.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 15.-On mo-
ton Of the states attorney of Lake
county, the case of the state Of South
Dakota against Edward Collier Of Ra-
mona, charged with murderous assault
upon his father has been dismissed.
Collier is the young man who. on
October 25 last, was arrested on the
charge of cutting the throat of his
father, Christopher Collier, a well
known Lake county farmer. The affair
created q sensation at the time. The
father and son had been in Ramona,
where the latter drank heavily. On the
way home in a covered buggy they
quarreled over the sale Of the elder
Golfers farm, the younger man oppos-
ing the proposed sale. Edward after
ward stated that his father beat and
pounded him numerically. The young
man whipped out a knife and u des-
perate struggle for it's possession took
place in the buggy. A neighbor saw
the son fall out Of the vehicle, and,
upon approaching, discovered the
father with his throat cut. A bloody
knife in the bottom of the buggy told
the story. For a time it was feared
the father was fatally injured. His re-
over and his disinclination to appear
in court as a witness against his son
resulted in the case against the young
man being dismissed, as stated.

BIG RENT PAID.
Twice as Much as Before for Use Of
School Lands.

Aberdeen, S. D., March 1.-THE leas-
ing Of the school lands for haying and
stock feeding purposes in Brown coun-
ty has taken place. The court room
was packed with anxious bidders and
prices scared away above the most
sanguine expectations Of County Aud
itor Eygabroad: One farmer bid 81
cents per acre per ear, and the aver
age was in the neighborhood of 40
cents. This is more than double the
price paid in any previous year. The
leases are nearly all for three years,
though few nave five years to run.
The money received for these leases
goes into the state treasury to be ap-
portioned to the various counties of
the state for school purposes. Grown
county's share last year amounted to
about $4,000, and this year it will prob
ably approximate $4,000, the distribu-
ton being made OF the basis of popula-
ton Of school age.
