Four Men Sentenced By Judge
Four men faced sentencing in district court with Judge G W Stillman presiding. Don Gould, 28, of Spencer drew ten years for theft of nine auto tires from Hart Motor Company at the old airport site near Spencer on January 10. Tires sold to a Sibley service station raised suspicion, leading to county and sheriff involvement. Gould also implicated in a separate theft of 800 pounds of butter from a Sibley creamery. McDowell of Spencer received a five year term for theft of four sheep from Emil Groth. Martin Schipper of Peterson, who broke into a Peterson creamery, will serve ten years for theft involving a rifle, radio, and blank checks. Wilbert Burke was fined 300 dollars for drunken driving. Other cases discussed included deferred trials and settlements in Emmet and Waterloo counties.
