Dave Kahn of Sheridan set a new price record for purchase of state land today, with a bid of $56 an acre for a quarter of a section of land on Cat creek in Sheridan County. About 25,000 acres of state land were disposed of during the sale here today. The Commercial club of Sheridan paid $51 an acre for a quarter of a section on Dutch creek seven and a half miles east of Sheridan. That land is to be used as a state dry farm experiment station.
H.A. Newcomer of Banner, who has been in Sheridan several days for treatment, is considered well enough to return home today.
