j. T. jacobson was taken into GUS
tody Tuesday, on charge of obtain
ing monev under false pretenses, says
the St. Peter Journal. Some time ago
he purchased threshing outfit of the

ty. It is claimed that he agreed to
turn over all collections to the COM
pany, to apply on the payment of the

is probable that the trouble is caused
