Means Pension,
Anderson Says

We've quit paying fellows for
stealing autos. was County Auditor
Hans Arderson's comment o a letter
received from l.. B. Matheson, late Of
this city and now Of the Bismarck
"pen." asking that an allowance be
granted his wife and that an appli-
cation for his parole be SEM to state
officials. Matheson was caught here
last year after he had stolen an auto
mobile from a local garage, and while
held, numerous charges were pre-
ferred against him. He escaped twice
from the county Jail. once by saving
through the bars and the second time
by locking Deputy Sheriff b. Sorbo in
his cell. but was caught both times
and committed. IS
Mr.. Anderson says he's sure he
can't just figure out how Matheson
thinks the county should support his
wife and gave various reasons, among
them. 1. Mrs. Matheson never lived
in Grand Forks county. 2. Letters to
Mrs. Matheson indicate that the only
time Matheson communicated with
her vas when. he went on the rocks"
8. The county has officially
adopted the idea Of paying pensions
to the families of convicts.
