many are interested in the statement IN
a Kansas City paper that William II.
Becker has been sentenced there to I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary for receiy-

Career in North Dakota.
William H. Becker, or, as he preferred
to be known. Judge" Becker, was a
North Dakota promoter several years ago
At Rola he organized an investment syn
dictate, which was not a success. Along
about 1899 he arrived in Grand Forks, and
announced with a. flourish Of trumpets
that he would practice law.
He interested himself in the Knights OF
Malta, organized a local lodge, and soon
succeeded in making himself either the
head OF within reaching distance of the
head of the entire order. He appointed
deputies in many places, and the pros
poets which he held out were so allurlng
that several men were induced to aban-
don good positions to devote their entire
time to the work of the order.
Then there came a day when Becker
could not be found, and the bills which
he left are all that remain as mementoes
Of his residence here. .'' 80
