THATCHER CLEARED
Of DEBT TO UNITED
CONSUMERS STORES
Judge MoeIlring Rules c. w.
Reichert's Claim IN Re-
port Is Unfounded

Minot. N. D.. Sept. l3.-tP-Thc de-
funct Consumers United Stores com
pany in rcccivcrship since 1921. has
no claim against NJ w. Thatcher,
manager Of the Farmers Union Ter
minal Association Of st. Paul. Judge
George H. Moellring ruled in district
court here today at the conclusion
Of 4 hearing on tho final report OF
the receiver. G.. W. Rcichcrt, Of Car
rinctOn.
Reichcrt. IN the asset column Of the
report. had listed tho sun Of S9.3O3. 10
as being due from Thatcher. contend
ing that 1t had been paid for an audit
performed for tho stores company but
for which no report ever had been
rendered.
The audit. II developed, was per-
formed by the Equitable Audit Com
pany Of st. Paul. of which Rclchcrt
alleged Thatcher was an officer. The
court ruled that under the receivers
report no claim was made against the
audit company. and Attorney Usher
L. Burd,ck. of counsel for the cred
itors. was told that in event a claim
should be presented as against the
audit company he would be granted
permission to file a deposition which
he said would disprovc any such con-
tcntion.
Judge Moellring expressed the be-
lief. after absolving Thatcher per-
sonally of any liability. that even in
event there vas a legitimate claim
against the audit company which per-
formed the task in 1920, 1t would be
a wild goose chase to pursue It,.
Belief that the ~receivership OF the
company should be ended soon and
tho residue of tho assets distributed
to the creditors was expressed py
Judge Mocllring at the conclusion OF
the hearing.
Burdick said the creditors desire a
suspension OF the receivcrShip. and
Attorney George MCGEE. representing
Rcichcrt. said his client is anxious to
end his duties as receiver. Reichcrt
was given until Oct. l to file a state
ment showing all outstanding assets
of the company. including checks
notes and judgments.

assets arc slightly more than $780, 900
but declined to estimate their cash
value. Some of the assets arc post
dated checks given to the N~onpartisaI
league. some arc notes given nearly II
years ago. and others are judgments
on notes which have remained unpale
for several years.
Burdick accused Reichcrt Of being
prcjudiced against Thatcher and O
filing a claim against Thatcher fcl
that reason. Rcichert denied this.
1t was said at the hearing that thu

IN the city's night life has proven
the trails end for Johanna Bruce,
70, lovely bobbed-haired girl, whose
romance as the compartments bride
OF a picturesque gunman, bank bandit
and mail robber. has been blasted by
the exposing of his career after a
wild party at a roadhouse.
A typical beauty Of the far North
west, Johanna left her home town,
Winona, Mimi, and vent to St. Paul
TO make her own way in the world.
There she met the dashing cavalier,
Frank Devers, alias p. j. Nolan, alias
"Bubbling Over" and a lot Of other
fanciful names.
With plenty Of money and a big
car the gay courtier was her nightey
escort. Then came love and a de-
cision Tor q companionate marriage.
Everything Money Conuld Buy
So" Johanna has confided to the
police matron here, eve travelled,

A squad Of detectives seized $751;
600 worth of gems in her possession,
more than $4,000 in 500 bills, con-
siderable smaller cash and three

when police took "Bubbling Overs"

brought that intoxicated gentleman
TO the police station for safe keep
ing, because he feared his fare would
be robbed because Of his carelessness
In displaying large bills.
His Career Checkered

until he stands trial IN ST. Paul FED

Denying the many charges against
him, "Bubbling Over" says, The
