THOMSON IS SENTENCED
tots YEARS In PRISON
Former Assistant Controller OF
Austin Packing Plant Given
Indeterminate Sentence

Austin, Sept. 7. - r. J. cCy')
Thomson, former assistant controller
of Geo. A. HORNED & Co., Austin
packers, yesterday was given an IN
detcrminate sentence of not to eX-
coed Is years in the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary after he had pleaded guilty
in the district court here to a charge
Of grand larceny growing out of his
defalcations as official Of the pack
ing company.
He entered plea of guilty to two
separate counts, one charging misap-
preparation of 100000 and the sec
ond of $S5, 900. On the first he was
given a sentence Of not to exceed III
years and on the second maximum
of five years, the sentences to be cum
ulatiVc.
1t was stated by A. w. Wright, at
torney for Thomson, that an agree
ment had been reached with the Hor-
mel concern, under which only the
two charges preferred would b"
pressed against Thomson, and today's
action, therefore, writes fins on
one of the most sensational cases III
the history of the state.
Thomson was arrested last July 1S,
just 81 days ago, and has been in the
county Jail here since, but friends
said they would be unable to get the
total amount of bonds that would be
required to get his release.
The dcfalcations charged against
Thomson by his crstwhile employers
total $1,1S7,OOO and the misappropri-
ations covered period of five years.
The greater part of the amount en-
bczzled, however, had been appropri-
ated in the eight months preceding
ThomsOn's arrest.
Sentence was pronounced by Judge
john d. Mcighcn of Albert Lea q
few minutes after noon, after hear
ing lasting more than two hours.

TWO BULL ASSOCIATIONS
TEMPORARILY ORGANIZED
Specialist Cites Advantages of
Organization in Beltrami
County Right Away

Two temporary organizations OIL
cooperative bull associations nave
already been formed in Beltrami
county by the work of D. c. Dvofa-
eek, county agent, through the farm
bureau organization. One OF these
bull associations is centered at turtle
River and have selected Holsteins
for its breed. The other is in the
Turtle River and 'Sugarbush district
and will use the Guernsey breed.
]. G. Winkjer. specialist for inc
United States Department or ASri-
culture in the organization or CO.
lucrative bull associations has been
working with Mr.. Dvoracek Tor the
last two weeks and will remain IN
the county until the first of October
During this time it Is expected that
five or more of these organizations
will be completed.
Mr. Winkjer spent two days last
week in Pine River, Cass county.
where one of these bull associations
has been in operation for over -FOUR
wears The cost to each member mas
not exceeded SIS, and some have paid
only $25. and fo' this they have had
the use of $175 bulls. Mr.. Peterson,
in a block east Of Pine River, was one
who paid $45 and he said he had ms
money back in the extra value or
one heifer which he sold for $3.50.
At the same time as he sold this
heifer he also sold for $50 cow OF
the old stock at her age of highest
value. Enough extra value was re-
ceiyed for the one heifcr to return
the original investment in the good
pure+bred, bull
At the same time Mr.. Peterson
also sold two others Of the Well-bred
heifers, one brought $500 ana one
SIPS.
Naturally the members OF the bull
association at Pine River think this
kind OF an organization has done an
immense amount of good for them
in building better herds.

VETERANS BUREAU HOLDS
TW0-DAYe HEARING HERE
Claimants for Compensation or
Training Urged to Attend
Bemidji Hearing

To clean up all claims for compen-
sation, vocational education or nos
pitalization resulting through mill
tary service during the World war
the newly organized Veterans Bu-
reau is sending throughout Mime
sofa a cleanup squad which. will
visit Bemidji on September % and
20. Ills meeting will include all
claimants from Cass, Hubbard Clear
water, Kiochiching and Beltraml
counties.
Blanks to be- filled out in applying
for transportation and meal and lodg-
ing requests for those who are obliged
to come to Bemidji for this hearing
may be procured from the adjutant
of the Bemidji Legion post and it is
urged that all who intend to enter
a claim at this time send in for an
application blank, whether they have
previously entered claim or not.
A lodging request is good for one
nights lodging not to exceed So,
and meal request is good for one
meal not to exceed 81. Hotel and
restaurant proprietors may now get
payment for honoring these requests
from the district office of the United
States Veterans Bureau at Mime
apolis instead of from the national
vocational bureau at Washington,
D. c., as heretofore. For this reason
it is expected that there will be no
hesitancy about accepting the Tg-
quests, since payment can be had
more readily from the district office.
Hearings are held at no cost TO til q
applicant, and it is desired that all
claims in this section of the state
be cleaned up at this time.
